Chapter Special 2
The Offer
(The crowd goes crazy in shouting questions at Tetsuma)
Fuji: "This isn't good..."
Echizen: "We need to draw them away."
Yukimura: "Sanada?"
(Sanada nods)
Sanada: "Echizen, lets go."
(Ryoma follows Sanada on to the court as they both stand in front of Tetsuma, facing the crowd)
Sanada: "HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Echizen: "HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
(Auras explode and engulf both Sanada and Echizen)
Sanada/Echizen: "SILENCE!"
(For a moment, as people look at Tetsuma, there is a slight glimmer of Aisoku in the midst of the auras blending together. His eyes red like fire, and his hair white like snow. The crowd becomes silent out of fear)
Everyone: "!!!!"
Momoshiro: "D-did you guys see that?.."
Kikumaru: "Yeah...I saw Aisoku for a second. Scary."
(Both Sanada and Echizen return to normal as they both turn to Tetsuma)
Tetsuma: "I suppose now is the time to answer questions."
Echizen: "Where have you been, Tetsuma?"
Tetsuma: "We are still here. Sometimes in plain sight, sometimes not. I've been keeping watch on all of you as well. We are always on patrol at local tennis courts whenever we are not being called in by the JTA to make evaluations of players. Seda gave the leadership of the Black Lions to me, and then disappeared...even I haven't seen him in a long time. He claims this was all part of his plan."
Sanada: "Plan?"
Tetsuma: "Well for one, it was to get many of you publicized by the match we had, join the ATP world tour, and take his ideals with you. The Black Lions were never supposed to win the match that day, and the only person that knew this was Seda. In doing this, you would have the opportunity to change the system from within and keep it that way."
Inui: "To think he thought this out to this extent...he is scary brilliant."
Renji: "He knew if the Black Lions won the match, the world would feel victimized and it wouldn't be united. Unity was a major part in establishing a foundation for his plan."
Tetsuma: "Now then, time for the big news. Despite your ages, the higher ups were extremely impressed with all of you who played against us last year. They want to offer all of you spots with the pros."
Everyone: "!!!"
Tetsuma: "The Black Lions are already in the league and leading it."
Atobe: "What is your rank?"
(Everyone turns to see Atobe come out of nowhere, as Tetsuma sees him)
Yukimura: "..."
Tetsuma: "I'm currently number 1 in the world, and undefeated in offical matches."
Everyone: "?!?!"
Atobe: "Well then, I suppose it's time we give you some competition."
