Previous: 'What will you do with Kintarou?' he asked again.

'Uhmm.. I'm not sure.. Demo.. I-I think. I'll do it.' Sakuno said unsure.

Ryoma's eyes widened below his cap.

Chapter III: Ryoma's Decision

'I see.' That was all Ryoma could say after hearing those words coming from the girl's mouth.

'Uhmm.. anou. Why'd you ask?' Sakuno asked unsure if she should ask this.

'It's nothing. Don't mind it.' Ryoma said standing up from the bench.

'Here, it's yours. You can take it.' Ryoma said handing her one of his Pontas.

'Ugh.. thanks.' These were the only words that came out of her mouth as he left.

The next day…

'Inui-sempai..' Ryoma called.

Inui fixed the position of his glasses looking at Ryoma.

'What can I do for you?' he asked.

'Do you have records of Kintarou Tooyama?' Ryoma asked.

'You're really planning to beat that Kintarou huh? You've already asked me some of his photos in a match which are contained in that envelope the other day.' Inui stated.

'Ahh. .sorta' so do you have one?' Ryoma asked.

'Of course I have one.' Inui said.

'Then hand it over.' Ryoma said reaching his hand out.

'How disrespectful of you.' Inui said fixing his glasses with shine on them.

'I need it.' Ryoma still didn't mind his sempai's previous words.

Inui placed a glass of his 'Penal Tea' on Ryoma's hand.

'Eh? What's this for?' Ryoma said with his face mixed with disgust and fear. (A/N: I think disgust and fear are too much. I just can't find the right word. What do you think?)

'You should learn how to respect your sempai. So, for you to get the records, you need to drink my special inui vegetable juice.' Inui said with that shine on his glasses again.

Ryoma gulped. 'Do I need to do this for that?' he thought.

'I'd die if I drink this. Maybe I should just give up' He thought again.

Flashback

Kintarou is good at sports and academics

Kintarou's card is filled with straight F's

This thoughts suddenly popped out of Ryoma's head.

He gulped once again and finally drank the juice. All he could remember was he fainted.

Ryoma opened his eyes.

At first everything was blurred and he could see a figure before him.

'R-ryoma-kun' Sakuno called with a mix of worry and relief on her words.

Ryoma sat on the bed. He looked around and found out that he was in the clinic.

'Good you're awake now Mr. Echizen. ' the nurse said

'Why am I taken here?' he asked.

'Well, Ms. Ryuzaki found you near the courts. When she brought you here, you looked really pale. You looked like you haven't eaten for more than 4 days. That may be exaggerated but that's how I can describe it.' The nurse said.

'Oh yeah, I drank the Penal Tea.' Ryoma thought.

'Anyway, I need to go. S-see you R-ryoma-kun.' Sakuno said leaving the clinic.

After resting a bit more, Ryoma finally stood and prepared to leave the clinic.

'Mr. Echizen, Ms. Ryuzaki said she found this next to you.' The nurse said handing Ryoma a green notebook.

'Ugh. Thanks.' He said finally leaving the clinic and the campus.

On his way home, he started to read the contents of the notebook.

There he found … Kintarou is not only known in his great capacity for tennis. He also maintains good grades. He always gets straight A's….

Reading this, Ryoma's eyes widened.

'How can that be?' he thought.

Then an idea popped out of his head placing a smirk on his lips.
