The next few days were nearly uneventful if you don't include Akaya being pushed down the stairs. It did cause a bit of a fuss though and in the end it turned out Ann did it. I clap my hands gaining their attention "If you're interested Kirihara-san and Ryoma are playing a match," I said to the group who were gathered to hear Ann explain. I watched as everyone suddenly stood up and rushed to the tennis courts to watch. Unfortunately my phone rung just as I was about to leave,
'Yes,'
'So Ryoma's shadow's going to play?'
'I see so you want me to play him for practice'
'It wont be much help'
'Yeah but right now he's playing Kirihara-san'
'Yeah, I get it I will be careful'
'Yeah Ku-kun, I'll play him but only if you come back to watch the training camp, you know I am a certified help in the center I'll handle it'
'Yeah cya soon'.
'Things are about to get interesting' I thought as I was heading out to the game, "Hmm it seems his training paid off," I said making everyone jump, we watched them play for a while smiling as they looked they were having a lot of fun. "Very admirable, practicing even in your free time," Ryuzaki said from behind us, "Ah Ryuzaki-sensei," Katou-san said, I looked to and noticed her smiling before suddenly she collapsed the freshmen shouted in shock and Momo-san and Oishi-san ran over to help.
I ran over and laid her down taking her pulse and checking her heartbeat 'It's only exhaustion' I thought, "She will be fine but call an ambulance," I said not caring for their confusion, "How do you know?" Horio asked, "Oh, I have a degree in medicine focused around sport," I replied and all of them just looked at me in shock, "Wait didn't you know, I'm already a graduate," I replied absent-mindedly watching for the ambulance to arrive. "Anyway I need to make a call and talk to the other coaches, keep an eye out for the ambulance," I said before walking off.
Walking around the corner I took out my phone and dialed the first person I want to call.
'At the end of the school year when I come to work at your camp I have a suggestion on a way to you humble your trainee's,'
'Invite some of the younger middle schoolers'
'I know but by doing this you find new talent'
'I know that you know my older brother is hailed as the child of god or the demigod'
'Oh you know he will never get any better if he doesn't lose'
'Of course I could beat him but it wouldn't teach him anything if it isn't in the actual competition'
'Echizen Ryoma, will probably be strong enough to beat him by nationals'
'Anyway I've gotta go I need to organize a replacement coach for the America vs Japan invitationals'
'No your coaches can't come it would be to obvious how would explain that'
I sigh 'It's not like I can coach them, I have experience in lower ranked teams and I will help train them but I would be to harsh' I scroll through my contacts looking for them right phone number and dialed the number.
'Hi'
'I know I called recently but I have a slight change in request'
'Ryuzaki fainted from exhaustion and has gone to hospital'
'Can you take over?'
'You already have the entirety of Seigaku following your orders'
'I can only see Rikkaidai rebelling and I can take care of that'
'I'll help you'
'I have connections I can get you some pretty amazing opportunities'
'Not something I want to explain over the phone'
'If you want to know I will tell you when you get here'
'Thank you for agreeing to do this'
'You'll be fine'
'Sayonara'
I walk back to where an ambulance has already arrived to take her to hospital. "Coach Sakaki, Coach Hanamura I need to discuss with you about the coach who will replace Coach Ryuzaki," I said and I lead them inside to my office. "I have organized a replacement coach," I started, "Already!?" exclaimed Hanamura, "We were going to ask you," Sakaki said surprised. "I am not suited for the job it is true I could coach them but I hone skills formed and teach advanced things, my training would take to much time," I explained. "I have called Tezuka Kunimitsu, originally he was just coming to visit and see how the team is going, but I have convinced him to take the coaching position," I continued in a calm tone.
"Tezuka-kun, you convinced him to coach them?" Sakaki asked in surprise. "Yes I have many connections in the world so I could easily put him in touch with pro scouts whom I trust if he ever wishes to go pro," I stated, "So you basically bribed him," Hanamura deadpanned. "Yeah but would you be able to refuse me if I said I could get your most talented member access to the US open as a wild card?" I asked uncaringly and both of them froze. "Coach Hanamura, you say your players are master pieces, well then I could shatter them, when I said I was high up I meant it," I say in an absolute tone. "What makes you so sure?" Hanamura asks an edge in her tone.
"Let me tell you a story, the story of the younger sister to the heir of the Yukimura company, born three minutes after her extremely talented older brother she grew up forever in his shadow, her parents paid very little attention to her and so she took solace in tennis something she happened to be extremely talented at. So at the age of 6 she snuck away from home and competed in Wimbledon while her family was in Europe, and then she won, entered under the name Radiant Shadow she was instantly scouted and so she continued retaining her status as grand slam champion for 9 years setting a new record, when she was 8 she ran away from home the day she competed in an amateur competition that pro's were entering. The girls name, Yukimura Seira," I explained leaving them in shock.
