Эпизод 3

During gym class, the teacher asks everyone to pair up for tennis practice. Not having a partner, Hachiman uses a trick he developed to ensure that he can practice by himself against a wall. At lunch, Hachiman eats alone at his favorite spot because of the nice sea breezes that blow in from the shore. He is interrupted by Yui who lost a bet with Yukino to buy drinks and subsequently discuss Yukino's characteristics. As Yui brings, up what happened on their entrance ceremony, they are both interrupted by Saika Totsuka. Having never paid much attention to anyone in his class, Hachiman is fooled by his androgynous appearance. At gym the following day, Hachiman pairs up with Saika for tennis who asks Hachiman to join the Tennis Club to help raise their strength. Unsure of what to do, Hachiman asks Yukino for advice. Yukino advices Hachiman (using her past bullying as a reference) that if he joins, the club members would unite under the theme of mutually hating him by sacrificing their own improvement hence instead focus all their energies on Hachiman, resulting in a no-win situation for both sides. Just then, Yui shows up with Saika who requests that the club help him practice, which takes a few days with no improvement. At the tennis court during lunch, while the Services Club helps Saika, Yumiko and her posse show up and demand to use the court. Hayato Hayama and Yumiko make a deal with Hachiman and Yui to have a double tennis match with the winner being able to use the court and help Saika practice. As Yumiko and Hayato steadily gain the upper hand, Yui sprains her ankle and leaves for a bit. While Hachiman prepares to throw in the towel, Yui returns with with Yukino as her replacement. After a bit of pregame banter with Yumiko, Yukino steadily dominates the game until her stamina runs low, and entrusts the game to Hachiman. Hachiman uses his knowledge of the sea breeze's speed and direction (from his time spent eating lunch alone) and is able to win the match, but as Yumiko would have hurt herself from intercepting his final pop fly, Hayato protects her from colliding with the fence. Thereby drawing the spectator attention to them instead of the Services Club's victory. At the end, Yukino leaves with Yui while Saika thanks Hachiman, who remarks that the "god of romantic comedies" is a retard for the end pairing which seems homosexual. As Hachiman returns to the club room, he walks in on Yui and Yukino changing. They knock him out with a tennis racquet before Hachiman complements the "god" on his sense of humor.
