When Seira called me to ask for my help I was surprised that she would ask me of all the people she could have called. Honestly though I was more interested in what kind of connections she has when she is only 14. 'I mean honestly what kind of 14 year old is she, excluding the fact that she is the second born child of the Yukimura family' I thought as I entered the building. "Ku-kun welcome why don't I show you to your room and I can explain," Seira explained. She led me through a couple of halls passing by a few rooms and she explained what was in them. Soon enough we arrived to a door with my name on it.

"Put your bags excluding your tennis bag in your room and then come back out and I will lead you to your group while you do that I will explain," Seira said as she led me into my room. "The truth is I am already a pro tennis player, I play under the Alias Radiant Shadow and have been since I was 6, so I truly have some extremely good connections," She said making me look at her in shock. "So when you said you could get me into a pro team you weren't kidding," I muttered making her giggle, "Anyway it's time you met up with your group," She said leading me out of my room and towards to courts.

The moment the freshmen spotted me they welcomed me back but I could tell they were surprised. "Now that Tezuka-sempai is here the competition is going to get even fiercer," one of them said, "Are you kidding, it's Tezuka-senpai of course he is going to get selected," another replied. "Nah, he didn't come here as a player," Seira said draping her arms over my shoulders her head on my back, "Eh!" exclaimed the freshmen trio. "Come on Ku-kun, your group is neglecting basic training and they need to not do so," Seira said leading me to the courts where I can see an argument with Oishi trying to convince them to do basic training.

"Your coach is here," I said entering the courts and Seira followed me, everyone looked at me in shock, "T-Tezuka!" Oishi said in surprise. Soon enough Echizen, Momoshiro and Eiji, joined us at the court entrance, "Captain, when did you get back?" Momo asked, "You're so cold, you didn't even tell us," Eiji complained. "Sorry that was my fault, I told him not to tell you," Seira said peeping out from behind me. "Huh, Seira-sempai you knew!" Momoshiro said looking at her in surprise, "Of course, after all I asked him to come," Seira explained easily.

Seira then lead us to where the rest of the coaches were waiting in a conference room. Where the rest of the participants were gathered, "Tezuka was doing rehab in Germany wasn't he?" asked Yuuta questioned in the mutters of all those gathered. "Since he is here I suppose his treatment must be finished," Mizuki replied making me scoff in my head 'No just an extremely persuasive friend' I thought. "Quiet please," Hanamura-san said gaining everyone's attention, "First on the matter of Ryuzaki-sensei's successor, we have decided that Sakaki-sensei will act as general manager," Hanamura-san said. "Well then, concerning the new coach for Ryuzaki's group, at Seira-san's request and incredible organizing skills, Tezuka-kun here will be the coach," Sakaki introduced looking at me.

Everyone looked around in surprise, "Originally Tezuka-kun was just coming to visit as his rehab was not quite complete and he is only able to come because a certified helper is currently her," Hanamura-san explained easily making more murmurs break out. "Excuse me, I have heard of Tezuka's excellence, however, he is just a junior high student like us, I still haven't seen his real ability, so I can't consent to this," Takahisa-kun said standing up. "Oh, Tezuka, how do you respond to this kind of opinion?" Sakaki-sensei asked me. "I think it is quite reasonable, as for whether or not you accept me as your coach please decide after today's practice," I replied.
