The result for mentor-mentee still annoyed her to the core. NO-not the result. But, the chosen mentor for her. Out of mentors, out of those senpais, did it really need to be Kita Shinsuke? Why it needed to be him?

"AHHHHH!!"

She pulled up her hair, frustratedly ruffled them later. She bumped her forehead against her desk, ignoring the pain that started to spread. She tightly balled her hand into a fist as she hit the desk then.

"Shinsuke is the top one student in the school. So, I am very looking forwards for ya improvement Miya. Use thise chance as much as ya can to improve ya study yeah?"

Incoherent noises left her lips as she remembered those remarks from one of her teacher.

"How in the heck I can improve if the mentor is him?" She grumbled under her breath.

As she was frustrated with the situation she was in, there was her two brothers looking at her in concern from her room door. She wasn't realised their presence though and the brothers also didn't seem to enter the room. Both Atsumu and Osamu just peeped their head inside, gripping on the door.

"Should we enter?" Osamu whispered without breaking his eyes from Ayumu's small figure who was sitting at her study desk.

"If we enter, then what are we going to do next?" Atsumu asked.

"So, ya said, its better to leave her like that?" Osamu questioned.

"Maybe. Let just give her time to caln down herself." Atsumu concluded.

However, it still felt heavier to the heart to leave their sister like that when they knew the situation she was in. They hope they could do something to wash the mess away. But since it was Kita Shinsuke related, they didn't know what to do at all. They never expected, this mentor-mentee session with Kita Shinsuke as Ayumu's mentor would be this effective on her.

Without say anything, just like how they came to her room at the first place, they left in the same way too. In silence, without their sister realised.

Ayumu was at her seat, doing some exercises on her book. Their teacher seemed not coming yet either. So, the students in the class were quite noisy with their own group of friends.

"Miya! There's a third year wanna see ya." Someone from her class called out for her. She looked over the voicer and he nodded towards the class door. Since, she couldn't see who was the third year by the door, she had no idea who was it.

Ayumu closed her book and stood up. First thing she did was, turning to look at Riseki. They seemed quite close these days. Riseki shook his head, knowing that Ayumu hoping an answer for whoever came to see her.

Heaving a sigh, she headed towards the door. When she was out, there was a guy in school uniform stood by the hallway window, looking at the outside view. Ayumu didn't greet hin or call for him either. Since he was backfacing her, she still could not tell who he was. But, based on his apperence from the back, she wasn't sure was it she knew him or not.

Then, the guy turned around, facing her. All her confusion broke away, replacing with annoyance. Ayumu's face instantly drew to a deep frown.

"It's not the time for mentor-mentee class yet. And the teachers already said it will start next week. So, ya can leave. I have no business with ya." Ayumu said lowly and turned around wanting to enter her class again. Her cold attitude and that attitude she used towards Kita really captured her classmates' attention. They surprised with that. Not expecting she really being cold towards the seniour. Whilst, Kita himself didn't feel bother at all.

"I know but still I have something to discuss with ya." Kita said, stopping Ayumu for going further. She turned around to look at him again. Her eyes were really show she was annoyed with his presence inftont of her.

"What? Don't wanna be my mentor? Gosh! I really hoping for ya to say that. I also not that wanting to be ya mentee anyway. So, go on." Ayumu snickered.

"No. That's not it." Kita said.

"Then what? Oh come on! Don't waste my time Mr Captain Kita Shinsuke. I have a lot in my plate to finish." Ayumu annoyed.

"Be our manager."

For a moment, the air was different. The noises around them turned out mute. Ayumu was surpised with his sudden request. Kita didn't show any slight of expression on his face. Then, Ayumu scoffed and crossed her arms over her chest afterwards.

"Don't make me laugh, Kita." Ayumu said. By the name she called Kita as only Kita, everyone in the class started to gasp.

"I don't. Be our manager." Kita said it again. "And stop thinking about continue to be in girl volleyball team."

That made Ayumu laughed. Of course it was in sarctism.

"Yer are the one to say?" Ayumu scoffed. "Aran-kun indeed came to me and talk to me on ya behalf...convincing me not to take what you said back the day to the heart. Saying yer might be just wanting me to pursue that because I've big chance on that. You even accused me by being the manager in the club just because I want to stick with my brotherㅡ which is one of the reason why I want to be manager anyway. But, Kitaㅡ" she paused.

"Right now when I already made my mind, ya come here with your shamelessfull of face asking me to be ya manager?" Ayumu crocked her right brow. "Ya know the thing ya did right now is nothing different with licking your own spit. Ya are the one who not accepting me. Who rejected my application. And now ya ask me to be ya manager?!"

Her words were harsh literally. But Kita was Kita...he was in the same way too. He breathed out. He knew Ayumu was right."I know. So, I apologise. Ya said my decision for rejecting yer application will make me regret, yes. It makes me regret if ya want to know. So be our manager."

Ayumu seriously could not understand this guy. Kita said he was regret but his face didn't show he was.

"Riseki. " Ayumu turned towards Riseki as the guy was flinching in his seat due to the sudden call. "Why he is so desperate for having me to be yer guys manager?" She asked him.

Riseki didn't say a word at first. His eyes were exchanging between Kita and Ayumu. He was hoping Kita would say a word about it, or thought Kita might be love to answer the question himself but to his avail, the captain didn't say a word.

"Coach suggested us to have manager. And he said, ya might be the suit one since ya came to the gym at the first place." Riseki finally answered. Ayumu nodded but not in approval way. She just could not belive Kita really came because of his coach asked him too.

"In short, ya will not be this desperate if the coach didn't ask ya right? Ya just do this because it is yer coach's order. Right?" She asked him. Like what she asked was true, Kita looked away which made Ayumu scoffed for how many time already.

"What if I say no?" Ayumu tilted her head, provoking him.

"Then, I'm not going to be yer mentor." Kita said emotionlessly.

"That's great then! I've been waiting for this."

"But, ya need to tell the teacher yerself. If the teacher approve for me not being your mentor, then let's be it. Ya no need to be our manager neither be my mentee. If the teacher not approve, ya need to tell me that ya will be our manager. If ya don't, I'm not going to teach or guide you. Let the marks of yours fall down the hill."

Ayumu's brows started furrowed. Her arms fall to her side.

"Are ya threatening me?" Ayumu hissed.

"I'm not. This is the only way. I hope ya understand. That's all what I want to discuss on. I excuse first." He said and left sooner after that.

Her teeth started gritting to each other. Her hands balled to a pair of fist. She rushed to the door, only found Kita already feets away from her class.

"KITA SHINSUKE! YOU ARE FKING DEAD!"
