Chapter 1. New Manager

Inui glanced back to the notebook in front of him. He had been on that since lunch time. He even made a serious face, didn't even bother about going back to the class, and kept minding the notes in front of him. The notes weren't about the opponent team's data, they also weren't the data of Seigaku's regulars, but it was something else…..

A girl's data…

Her name is Miyuki Sato.

A black-long haired girl's small photo was pinned onto the paper. Beside the photo there's a few handwriting:

Name: Miyuki Sato

Birthday: September 18 (current age 15)

Weight: 49kg

Blood type: B

Hobby: reading novel (often seen reading novel every lunch time, but isn't confirmed yet), tennis (?)

Move here (Seishun Gakuen) on June 2.

Data isn't complete yet, need further information

He let out a deep sigh. He seemed to be deep in thought, trying to figure out if something had been forgotten. But he had not a clue. He stared back to the photo and felt his heart flustered, bringing reddish colored to his face.

He's in love, you can tell that.

The girl had moved to Seishun Gakuen for two weeks now. They said she's from New York since born, but her Japanese is so good that everyone hasn't any troubled speaking with her. But still, American culture could be seen emerged from her aura.

Inui didn't really mind her at first but after what happened beside tennis court three days ago, he just could not get rid of the girl from his mind.

Inui, as usually going to wash his face after practice. He put his glasses beside the towel in front of him. After feeling refreshed he took the towel, unintentionally he pushed the glasses. It fell off. "Damn," he muttered. He dried his face with the towel first, then bent down. His both arms swayed through the ground, searching for the glasses.

He could felt there's a person coming. He stared at the person, but his eyesight's were really bad that everything he saw was just merely a blur. The person bent down, took of something that Inui concluded might be his glasses, and then gave it to him. Inui murmured 'Thanks' and smiled, he took the glasses immediately and wore it. He surprised when he found a beautiful girl stood up before him.

"You're welcome," she replied with smile.

"Ah…." Inui said, mesmerized by the girl. The girl then gave one little smile then took off, leaving Inui behind that still frozen on the ground.

Everyone could tell what had shown on his eyes.

He's in love.

After that he spent entire day, searching for the girl's name.

The day after, he spotted the girl in front of the Faculty Office. She was talking to the tennis coach, Ryuzaki Sumire. The girl gave one bow to the old lady, Sumire replied it with "Yeah yeah, of course you are welcomed," and patted the girl's shoulder. The girl smiled and said "Well then I'm going back to the class." She turned left and Inui, subconsciously hid under the wall. The girl walked past him, after confirming the girl didn't recognize him, he stood up.

"What are you doing here?"

Inui was taken aback. He was sure; his life was shortened about ten years that time.

"Se…sensei..," he stammered. The old lady, Ryuzaki Sumire was standing before him. "I-I wanted to talk to you Sensei," he continued, but then he realized what was his purpose? What was he going to say to the Coach? Everything left him after he spotted the black-haired girl. "By the way," he tried to change the topic, "Who was that?"

"Oh, the girl? She just moved here about two weeks ago. From America, New York. Her name is Miyuki Sato. Ha! Didn't even look like a Japanese eh? But her Japanese is really good," said Sumire.

'Ah, so her name is Miyuki Sato…' said Inui in his mind. "From America? Just like Echizen…"he said.

"Yeah, she just handed me the application form to join the tennis club," Sumire said, showing the paper on her hand.

"REALLY?" Inui screamed. He didn't do it on purpose, he was surprised. It's like when he got a secret opponent's data that no one knows.

Sumire jumped back, surprised by her disciple's screams. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" she raged.

Inui froze. His mind kept telling himself, "baka…baka…baka…." Then bowed repeatedly to Sumire, apologizing to her.

"Geez, you are so weird today Inui," she crossed her hands. "And what did you want to talk to me about?"

Inui suddenly remembered after he spotted the notebook in his left hand. "Ah this I want to consult with you about new training menu for the regulars."

"Ah, okay..." Sumire said, and then with hand gesture 'follow me', Inui followed her inside the Faculty Office.

Inui stood up from his spot, after patted some dust off his butt he took his notebook. He's been observing Miyuki's data for three hours but no idea came to him. The school bell rang, and then he remembered that he needed to attend tennis practice today.

He strode off to the door.

"Hey Echizen, pass me my racket!" shouted the spiky haired boy.

"Ah, Momo-senpai! Use your own legs would ya?" Ryoma replied. He threw lazy looks to his senpai then continued enjoying his Ponta can.

"Damn, you are so useless for being a kouhai," Momo stared at him with upsetting look, and then murmured 'cool, cool, I'm cool. Don't be mad Momo, it's just so uncool'. Then walked toward where his racket laying on the ground.

"Baka…." said the bandana guy, who walked past Momo. He hissed after saying that. "Fffssssshhh…."

Momo, who just managed to cool off finally exploded.

"SHUT UP YOU MAMUSHIIII!"

"OR WHATTT? FFFSSSHHHHHHH!"

"Oh no! Momo and Kaidoh are fighting again-nya!" Eiji Kikumaru, whom just arrived together with Oishi Shuichiro and Takashi Kawamura surprised with the scene before their eyes. "Stop them ne! Oishi!"

"Ah, stop that already!" screamed Oishi. He strained Momo while Takashi helped to strain Kaidoh.

"Mou, you guys are so childish-nya! What will Echizen say as the first year here?" Eiji said with rage.

Even Eiji said that, Ryoma was just didn't really care about that. He murmured 'Mada mada dane', then continued to enjoy his Ponta again.

"I'm sorry senpai," said Momo and Kaidoh together.

"Good Tezuka isn't here. If he saw that maybe he would punish you with a hundred laps! Do you want that?" lectured Oishi. He is really a mom of Seigaku.

Both Momo and Kaidoh just murmured 'okay, okay'. After Oishi finished lectured both of them, Coach Ryuzaki followed by Tezuka Kunimitsu came.

"Okay, okay. All of you come closer!" shouted the old lady. Tezuka stood still beside her, eyes sharp to all his subordinates. It's like he was checking if there's someone who didn't come to the practice.

"Where's Inui?" Tezuka asked. His eyes were still swarming amongst the member of tennis club Seigaku.

"Here, here…" a panted voice heard. A tall guy with glasses and notebook in his left hand appeared.

"Okay, everyone's here now right?" asked Sumire. Tezuka nodded to her, and then she continued, "Okay, the next competition is still two months ahead but we can't let our guard down if you want to the best! That's why Inui here will explain new practice portion for all of you and the regulars of course!" she called Inui with her hand, giving him a signal 'Now you take over'.

Inui walked to the front, positioned himself in front of Tezuka and Sumire. He opened his notebook directly to the page that had been bookmarked before. The title is "NEW TRAINING MENU"

"Okay, I'll explain this new training 'menu'. First of all, I wanted to congrats about our advance to the National. Thanks for all of our Regular's works and also to you all that always cheer on us. Every middle school in Japan now has their sight on us, we achieved that goal with our hard work and of course we want to keep it as long as we can. However, to reach that goal not only by strengthen our regulars but by strengthen all of you, the pillars of Seigaku," Inui retorted.

Tezuka nodded with agreement. Most of the member clapping their hands, amazed by Inui's speech. Momo, Oishi, and Fuji smiled and nodded. Eiji shouted 'Fight Seigaku' with Takahasi. Ryoma smiled, muttered 'Mada Mada Dane', Kaidoh just hissed.

"After this I'll give you one copy of training paper, we'll start the training on this Saturday," Inui said.

Sumire smiled, then patted Inui on the shoulders 'Good job, Good job." Inui just smiled. "Ah wait! Everyone silence! I have another announcement!" She shouted.

Everyone went silence, wondering what else will be announced.

"You guys heard what Inui said right? We'll work our ass after this! But Inui, taking care of you guys while he also has to concern about his training, so I decide to give you an additional manager," she retorted. She looked up to her watch, "Ah, she'll be here in seconds."

"Heee! Did the old lady say 'she'?" Eiji said confusely.

"Yeah, I guess so," Fuji answered calmly.

Everyone gasped, most of them excited, saying 'Finally, a female manager!' Inui stared blankly to Sumire. He couldn't think anything, and then he remembered….

A scene yesterday when he spotted the black-haired girl talking to Sumire…

"No way," he murmured under his breath. His heart beat faster, his blood boiled. 'No way!'

A girl seemed approaching the tennis court, where everyone gathered. Her black long hair swayed gently because of the breeze. Everyone said an 'Oomph' as the girl approached closer to them.

Inui never forgot the face. The face that smiled to him when she gave him his glasses.

She stood bravely upon the Seigaku's tennis club member. "Hi, everyone! I'm Miyuki Sato. Yoroshiku ne!"

Then, Inui dropped his jaw.

How's that?
