Crossover Anime: Transmigrated as Sasuke, but Must Start from Prince of Tennis

To be precise, it was two boys looking over together, their eyes sparkling with anticipation, somewhat similar to Jiro Akutagawa's earlier gaze.

Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?

Sasuke neither agreed nor refused.

He recognized the two as Chotaro Ootori and Hiyoshi Waka, who were still young in the Ice Empire.

Although he didn't appear often, Sasuke was very interested in this tennis ball called Hiyoshi Waka.

The fusion of ancient martial arts and tennis has a certain conceptual connection to my original method of practicing physical skills using tennis, although the relationship between the two is opposite.

Oh, and there's also Genichiro Sanada, that guy incorporates kendo into tennis.

This should be considered a special type of tennis.

Chapter 18 Even Elementary School Students Can Play Tennis

"Don't worry, we'll be going straight to junior high next year, so please, seniors, let us give it a try!"

Chotaro looked at the black-haired senior across half the court. He and Hiyoshi had been amazed by Atobe yesterday, and today they had only wanted to watch their training, but they never expected to see this Sasuke senior instead.

I've been watching quietly all along, but just now, Hiyoshi couldn't resist asking to join in.

Although it might seem a bit impolite to the senior students, they all wanted to find their own limits...

"Hey, first-years are at least members of the tennis club. You two elementary school kids shouldn't interfere. We upperclassmen haven't even had a chance yet, and you..."

A third-year tennis club member stepped forward; he was one of the previous regulars.

Although a reshuffling is inevitable now, their words are still more effective than others before any replacements are made.

However, this time, the decision of whether or not to let someone play was made by Sasuke, not by the other members of the tennis club.

"Sure, come and give it a try. Did you bring a change of clothes and a racket?"

Sasuke looked at the two elementary school students and inexplicably felt an urge to laugh at the thought of beating them up...

However, neither of them brought a racket, and their school uniform suits were clearly not suitable for playing tennis seriously.

"I have the clothes, but... but I didn't bring a racket..."

Chotaro wanted to borrow a racket, but his somewhat reserved nature caused him to blush before he could even finish speaking.

I already have a problem with those upperclassmen, so I'm afraid they'll refuse to lend me their rackets...

"Senior, could we borrow your racket for a bit?"

Hiyoshi jumped down from the platform outside the tennis court, looked around, and then walked up to Mukahi Gakuto.

He didn't have as many ideas as Chotaro Ootori. Now that he finally had a chance, how could he not seize it?

"Hey junior, you can borrow my racket after I leave!"

Takiginosuke waved the racket in his hand, and before Hiyoshi Wakashi could answer his request, he took it upon himself to lend the racket to Ootori Chotaro.

However, this will have to wait until he comes off the field.

"Senior, it's our turn to go on stage this time."

Hiyoshi Wakako glared. It was supposed to be him and Chotaro. Was this senior going to use borrowing rackets as a deal to steal their positions?

"Kids, you need to change clothes. Are you going to keep everyone waiting? Besides, I might not be able to make it back before you get back."

Takiginosuke didn't want to admit he was weak, but he also didn't believe he was stronger than Shishido Ryo.

If he can wait until both of them return and still not be on the field, that would truly exceed his expectations.

"Go ahead, whoever has time, take them to change their clothes."

Sasuke asked someone to look after the two elementary school students and glanced at Takiginosuke a couple more times.

This character appeared very infrequently in the original storyline, and mostly did tedious tasks; their tennis skills remained at the level of a near-regular player...

He seems to be someone who cares a lot about his hair, yet when Atobe lost and was about to have his hair shaved by Echizen Ryoma, he jumped out and said he would take Atobe's place...

Based on comprehensive judgment, this is one of Atobe's admirers, and his tennis skills are only slightly inferior to those of the regular players.

"Sasuke-kun, please guide me!"

Takiginosuke walked onto the court, faced Sasuke, and bowed deeply.

This sudden action startled Mukahi Gakuto, who had stood up to take the two elementary school students to the changing room. His finger trembled as he pointed at Taki Oginosuke, almost running up to ask him what was wrong with him.

Everyone went on the field normally, and although they'll be sent to the infirmary to rest after the game, it shouldn't be this humiliating...

This guy's sudden politeness is making everyone else wonder what to do. Are they supposed to expect the upperclassmen to follow suit?

Those senior students who look unhappy might be keeping an eye on someone, waiting for a chance to get revenge later!

"Senior, are you okay?"

Chotaro looked at Gakuto with concern. They shouldn't have asked this senior for help. Judging from how he almost tripped while walking, it seemed he had already been beaten up before.

but...

This senior is amazing!

It's good that after being beaten in a match, you can stay on the tennis court to rest instead of being sent to the infirmary.

"It's alright, it's alright. Let's go, I'll take you to change your clothes. When we get back, you'd better give it your all. I have something to tell you..."

Mukahi Gakuto quickly snapped out of his daze, blushing with embarrassment at having been distracted in front of his two junior classmates.

But he quickly found a way to distract himself: he told the two younger students what had just happened.

"Let's begin."

Seeing that Gakuto Mukahi had already left with his two junior classmates, Sasuke shook his racket, signaling to Oginosuke Taki that it was time to start.

Although he didn't have a deep impression of this person, he should be quite talented. With proper training and development, he shouldn't disappoint.

"8 minutes and 17 seconds!"

When the referee announced the timer again, Takiginosuke, who was lying on the ground in a semi-conscious state, twitched the corner of his mouth and revealed a smile.

He did it, much, much longer than the expected five minutes.

Indeed, you never know your limits until you give it your all, and he understands that now!

"Send it to the infirmary. You two junior students, which one of you will go first?"

Sasuke didn't hold back against Takiginosuke; he was simply controlling the situation so that the opponent could showcase his skills as quickly as possible and elicit ideas for future development.

Although the method is slightly different from before, it still aims to bring them to their peak physical condition as quickly as possible.

Next up are these two junior students who have changed into their tennis outfits.

Playing tennis with elementary school kids, that's really...

Will this be considered a black mark on my past?

After all, he is now a junior high school student. Even if it's only one grade lower, it's still a completely different concept.

That's true, I doubt there will ever be another fun experience like this.

"Chōtarō, I'll go first."

Hiyoshi Waka took the racket that Mukahi Gakuto lent him, tried it out, and went onto the court.

He wants to overcome...

Just as he was about to silently recite his goal, his thoughts crumbled the moment he looked up.

The person on the other side is in danger!

It wasn't tennis that was dangerous, but rather the keen senses he developed from learning ancient martial arts since childhood.

That person is very good at tennis, but he also possesses the aura of a martial artist, extremely strong, even stronger than his father, who is a coach of ancient martial arts.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Sasuke swung his racket; he didn't seem to have done anything yet, did he?

This kid isn't acting right. He was so full of energy just now, how come he suddenly went quiet?

Honestly, this isn't a good sign; it's not quite what he expected.

"I won't be scared, I'll only be more excited!"

Hiyoshi grips the racket tightly, adopting the starting stance of a martial arts demonstration, and tosses the tennis ball high into the air.

boom!

The tennis ball flew towards the other side, and Hiyoshi's eyes clearly showed excitement and joy.

He had always wanted to try to combine ancient martial arts with tennis, and now he would have a good experience to see if this opponent, who was also a martial artist, would bring him any new discoveries.

Chapter 19 Oshitari: I Just Want to Gossip About Some Private Matters

"Sasuke, what's going on with you? I heard someone say that you sent two elementary school students to the infirmary?"

Keigo Atobe and Taro Sakaki discussed the selection method for the main players, as well as issues such as group assignments.

Before they could even return to the tennis court to announce the news, they received word that Sasuke had brutally sent the two elementary school students to the infirmary.

It's absolutely terrifying, even more brutal than when they dealt with him before.

Although he was a few years younger than those two junior students at that time...

"What, you have a problem with that?"

Sasuke saw the senior off, then looked up at Sasuke standing on the steps. Sasuke didn't find anything wrong with the guy's suggestion of taking elementary school students to the infirmary.

The two elementary school students just now both lasted for more than five minutes, which is much better than some of the older students who were so scared that they couldn't even pick up their rackets.

Compared to the elementary school students, these third-grade students looked particularly bad.

His tennis balls were always aimed at a position where the opponent could reach them, albeit with some effort, but these senior students either couldn't reach them or simply waited for the tennis ball to hit them.

It's no wonder that this year's seniors were so badly beaten; there were very few who were even remotely pleasing to the eye, whether it was the ones he had personally tried at Hyotei or the ones he had observed at Rikkai.

Perhaps it's because the previous generation was so strong that now there aren't enough players to compete in tennis!

"Of course I have no objection. There will be an intra-school selection competition during club activities tomorrow. Will those who are still in the infirmary be able to perform normally tomorrow?"
