The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

Ryuzaki Sumire strode onto the court with a disgruntled expression.

She had just been dragged out of the office by Akihiro Toyota, at Sadaharu Inui's request, with an exaggerated description that "Tezuka was about to be beaten to death by Takei."

However, what came into view was Tezuka Kunimitsu clutching his left arm, surrounded by several first-year students who looked worried. These were also old acquaintances who had gone to her office with Tezuka Kunimitsu to confront her last time.

Then there was Takeshi Takei, who was swaggering around, and outside the arena, he was still sitting there, but his expression changed from dazed to shocked, and then to bewildered and at a loss for what to do.

In short, it was far from the horrific scene of blood splattering that Ryuzaki Sumire had imagined. Now it seemed that Tezuka Kunimitsu had only injured his left hand at most.

In other words, all the methods she had devised to suppress the news were rendered useless.

Ryuzaki Sumire felt that her "efforts" had been wasted, and that she herself had been deceived!

She immediately glared angrily at Akihiro Toyota, who had returned to the first-year group.

Meanwhile, upon seeing Ryuzaki Sumire arrive, Takei Kenji's smile faltered for a moment before returning to normal. "Coach, what brings you here? Nothing serious has happened!"

"But this first-year student, Tezuka, is just too outrageous! He has no respect for us seniors, speaks rudely, and is extremely arrogant. I couldn't stand it, so I 'taught' him a lesson during the match to teach him some manners."

Ryuzaki Sumire nodded, accepting Takei's explanation. After all, in her opinion, a disobedient first-year student should indeed be taught a lesson by his senior. As for Tezuka Kunimitsu's left hand injury, it was probably because he was not strong enough and was hit by a tennis ball during the match.

Then, I heard Inui Sadaharu's voice, "Coach, it was Takei who deliberately broke Tezuka's arm after the match!"

Ryuzaki Sumire's first reaction was not shock at the severity of the situation, but rather a reflexive surge of intense dissatisfaction:

How dare this bespectacled first-year student be so rude, addressing his senior by his surname directly?!

This is utterly disrespectful and shows no regard for elders! What about Seigaku's traditions and hierarchical order?!

Then she finally focused her gaze on Tezuka Kunimitsu's limp left arm.

She frowned, her voice rising, "Then hurry up and get him to the infirmary! What are you waiting here for?! I'm not a doctor!"

"As for Takei..." Ryuzaki Sumire glanced at Takei Kenji, who was giving her a fawning smile, "You're punished by running twenty laps around the track! And don't let it happen again!"

"Coach!" Inui Sadaharu was extremely dissatisfied. The broken bone was Tezuka Kunimitsu's dominant hand, and all he got was a "punishment" of running 20 laps?!

Moreover, this behavior occurred after the competition, which is extremely egregious and violates the spirit of sportsmanship. And this is the punishment?! Not even a reprimand?! Just a "don't do it again"?!

No, this doesn't even qualify as punishment, since Seigaku's tennis club training involves running around the court more than ten times.

In response, Sumire Ryuzaki stated that although she did not know the full story, she would definitely choose an upperclassman over a useless first-year student.

Moreover, Tezuka Kunimitsu's left arm isn't useless, it's just fractured. Plus, he doesn't need to play tennis in his first year, so he'll definitely be fine by his second year.

Furthermore, the one who got hurt was Tezuka Kunimitsu, the first-year student who had previously brought his classmates to force the issue. Under these circumstances, Ryuzaki Sumire felt that it was already a great favor to Tezuka by punishing Takei Kenji with 20 laps as a coach.

"No need to say anything, A-Qian."

Tezuka Kunimitsu's expression returned to its usual calm and icy coldness.

It's unbelievable that after being maliciously attacked by Takei Kenji, Minister Yamato actually sat cowardly in the distance, completely refusing to step forward and take charge, and not uttering a word to clarify the truth when Takei Kenji was blatantly lying.

As for Coach Ryuzaki, she didn't even ask about the cause and effect after she arrived. If it weren't for A-Qian speaking up, this matter might have just been left unresolved.

Tezuka Kunimitsu had completely given up hope on the tennis club, especially after Ryuzaki Sumire said that the 20-lap penalty run would be the last time, which extinguished the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Coach Ryuzaki, Captain Yamato,"

Tezuka Kunimitsu glanced at the two men, then took a deep breath and spoke in a very serious tone, word by word,

"I, Tezuka Kunimitsu, hereby withdraw from the Seigaku Tennis Club."

After saying that, Tezuka Kunimitsu felt a sense of relief, almost like a liberation, followed by a strong feeling of regret.

He never expected to encounter such injustice after joining Seigaku, which not only cast a shadow over his tennis career but also severely damaged the arm that carried his dreams...

If he had known this would happen, he might as well have joined Hyotei directly...

At that moment, firm voices rang out beside and behind him.

Sadaharu Inui adjusted his glasses. "I, Sadaharu Inui, am also retiring from the tennis club from this day forward."

"And there's also Fuji Syusuke."

Although Kawamura Takashi wasn't holding a racket, even with his current mild-mannered nature, he was very dissatisfied with Coach Ryuzaki and Captain Yamato's handling of the situation. Moreover, all his friends had left, and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he said, "Me too!"

Akihiro Toyoda also stepped forward, "Add me to the list."

Although he was just a classmate of Inui Sadaharu and not familiar with Tezuka and the others, he didn't want to stay in this disgusting tennis club any longer. Moreover, he had tricked Coach Ryuzaki into joining him this time, and he was worried that Ryuzaki Sumire would make things difficult for him later because of this, so he might as well quit.

Tezuka Kunimitsu was somewhat moved, "Everyone..." They were actually willing to quit the tennis club because of him...

"We're here too!"

"We're all quitting!"

"It's better to leave a place like this!"

At this point, the other first-year students in the Seigaku tennis club also decided to leave the club after some consideration, because they felt a sense of shared vulnerability.

After all, Tezuka Kunimitsu had his arm broken by his senior, but Coach Ryuzaki didn't give him any proper punishment, such as reporting it to the school and disciplining Takei Kenji, or at the very least, expelling Takei Kenji from the tennis club. Instead, he just made him run 20 laps as punishment?!

If they get injured by their seniors in the future, will Coach Ryuzaki also take sides like this?

That's very possible, especially since they don't have the same tennis skills as Kunimitsu Tezuka, so it goes without saying that the coach might favor one side over the other!

Therefore, I must leave the department!

After all, leaving the tennis club allows you to join other clubs at Seigaku, but staying in the tennis club means your basic safety isn't guaranteed!
