Chapter 20 Tennis Competition
On the tennis court, Kurusu Akatsuki held the racket in his hand and did some warm-up exercises. Opposite him, Suzuki Sonoko, who had changed into sportswear, was holding the racket and eager to try.
"Come on, Kurusu-san! Don't lose to Sonoko!" Outside the stadium, Mao Lilan did not support her best friend. Instead, she ran to cheer Kurusu Akatsuki up. This shameful act of turning her elbows outwards earned Sonoko a blank look.
"Hey, Xiaolan! Shouldn't you cheer for my best friend? Think about it carefully, who cheered for you at the top of your lungs during the karate competition?"
"I'm sorry, Yuanzi." Xiaolan smiled awkwardly, "This competition was originally because of your unreasonable troubles, Yuanzi, right?"
As Xiaolan said, this competition was a bet proposed by Suzuki Sonoko. Ever since Sonoko accidentally noticed Kurusu Akatsuki's appearance without glasses last week, the nympho began to try every means to get Kurusu Akatsuki to take off his glasses.
This farce evolved into this tennis match.
According to the agreement, if Suzuki Sonoko wins, then Kurusu Akatsuki will have to show her how she looks after dressing up carefully. And if Kurusu Akatsuki wins, then Suzuki Sonoko can no longer continue to make trouble unreasonably.
"Forget it, let's not talk to you, a rip-off guy! Let's get started, Kurusu-san. According to the agreement, if you lose, you have to take off your glasses again!"
"At that time, I will naturally keep my promise." After finishing the warm-up, Akatsuki Kurusu pushed up her glasses and waited for the moment when the game started.
"Kurusu-san, you should understand the basic rules, right?" Sonoko carried the racket. As a member of the tennis club, she was quite confident in her skills. She felt that she could easily defeat Akatsuki Kurusu, a beginner.
Victory in this game.
"I still understand the rules. Don't look down on me just because I'm a beginner. Let's start quickly. I'll have something to do after school."
"It seems that you are very confident in yourself? Huh, today I will let you experience my superb skills!"
As the whistle blew, the game officially began. Although Akatsuki Kurusu had basically never been exposed to the sport of tennis before, with the strong body he developed when his predecessor was a delinquent, as a beginner, he could barely avoid falling into the trap.
Downwind.
But after all, physical fitness cannot completely make up for the technical gap. If he continues to fight like this, it is estimated that Akatsuki Kurusu will have to take off his glasses in humiliation before long.
Therefore, in order to ensure that he could beat Suzuki Sonoko, Kurusu Akira decided to cheat quietly. He held his breath and secretly opened his third eye. Under the gaze of the third eye, Sonoko swung the racket and the tennis ball flew down.
The speed has slowed down dozens of times. Akatsuki Kurusu can even predict the next landing point of the ball accurately, and then intercept the tennis ball before it flies over and counterattack.
It didn't take long for Suzuki Sonoko to gradually fall into a disadvantage. Although she played tennis well, she still couldn't beat Akatsuki Kurusu who cheated with her third eye. Twenty minutes after the game started, Sonoko, who knew there was no hope of winning, simply
Throwing the racket directly means admitting defeat.
"Damn it. This time I really lost miserably!" Suzuki Sonoko said angrily, "I said Kurusu, are you really a beginner?"
"I'm not lying on this point. My knowledge of tennis is indeed only at the beginner level. Being able to beat you is purely based on physical fitness."
Akatsuki Kurusu kept talking nonsensically, but the carefree Suzuki Sonoko didn't care whether Akatsuki Kurusu's words were true or false, and no longer cared about winning or losing.
"Since you have won, you are willing to admit defeat. I will never force you to take off your glasses again! But there is one thing I really want to know. Your appearance is not bad, why do you have to dress up like this?
What about the rustic look?"
"In order to be as inconspicuous as possible, and this appearance can also avoid a lot of trivial matters." Akatsuki Kurusu did not choose to make nonsense this time, but answered Suzuki Sonoko's question seriously, "I think you all should know the rumor about me.
Bar?"
"Are you talking about the rumors about your experience before you transferred to another school?" Xiaolan quickly recalled, "I remember the rumors said that you were a bad boy who got into fights and had a criminal record?"
"But that's just a rumor!" Sonoko handed a bottle of water to Kurusu Akatsuki's hand. No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a person who can fight."
Kurusu Akatsuki thanked Sonoko for delivering the water, and then continued:
"Unfortunately, the rumors are true. I was indeed a bad boy in the past. Before I transferred to another school, I committed intentional injury because I hit too hard in a fight. In the end, I was placed under protective observation after a lot of
Zheng Zan was sent to Miwa Town."
"After I had a criminal record, I began to reflect on what I had done. Finally, I decided to use the protection and observation period to change my ways. After that, I started with my appearance and changed my original flamboyant appearance to what I am now.
Such an unobtrusive image.”
"I think this appearance can not only avoid some troubles, but also help me change my original flamboyant nature."
After hearing Akatsuki Kurusu's past, Xiaolan and Sonoko were surprised for a while, but they did not become afraid of Akatsuki Kurusu because of his criminal record, and instead came closer to him.
"Don't worry, Kurusu-san! I believe you can defeat your past self!"
"Xiaolan is right!" Sonoko patted Kurusu Akatsuki's shoulder carelessly, "But, I think it's good to change your appearance sometimes..."
"Sonoko, why don't you give up!" Xiaolan grabbed Mariko's hand and dragged her away from Kurusu Akatsuki, "Kurusu-san is free to dress up however he wants, so don't harass him!"
"It's getting late," Akatsuki Kurusu looked at his watch and waved to the two of them, "I have something else to do next, we'll see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow!"
…………
After saying goodbye to Xiaolan and Sonoko, Kurusu Akatsuki got on the train and came all the way to the Mihua Library. He first walked around outside the library and determined the distribution of the surrounding cracks before returning to the main entrance.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw an old man with a monkey face, who looked a bit scary at first glance, walking towards him.
"Sorry, let me borrow it." The old man smiled politely at Akatsuki Kurusu who was blocking the way, but the latter always felt that his smile was as stiff as if it was forced out.
Akatsuki Kurusu made way for the old man to pass through the aisle. He looked at the back of the old man leaving in a hurry and touched his chin thoughtfully.
