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

Just when the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, a boy called out Sasuke's name, sharing his joy of victory with him.

Sasuke was stunned when he saw this person.

Shouldn't he be in another group? How come he's in Group 8?

23qb.

Chapter 26 Takioshi Takiginosuke Who Shouldn't Be Here

"Taki, I don't remember your name being on the list."

Sasuke ignored the reporters, stood up, and walked to the list posted to the side to check, confirming that Takiginosuke's name was not on it.

"Because several senior students suddenly withdrew, the two of us were transferred here together..."

Taki Oginosuke gave an awkward laugh, his hand gripping the racket a little nervously.

He was notified that he would be transferred to Group 8 only after the competition had already started.

Everyone knows that once you enter Group 8, it's impossible to get first place, and naturally you won't become a regular player.

But someone always has to be switched, and he couldn't feel wronged because of that, but he didn't expect it to upset Sasuke...

"Group 6... Try your best to win to the end, and then challenge the winner of Group 6. Now go rest and conserve your energy. Don't let me and Atobe down."

Sasuke took the transfer information handed to him by someone next to him, confirmed that all the procedures were in accordance with regulations, and then looked at Takiginosuke again.

But even if it complies with the regulations, they still have to send over Taki Oginosuke, whom he has been guiding, so how can they not return him properly!

If you choose this position, you can get into the top group, but that doesn't mean you can hold onto it.

"Yes!"

Takiginosuke was surprised to be valued so much. He bowed deeply to Sasuke, then took his racket and went to rest off the court.

After returning to the rest area and sitting down, Sasuke tilted his head to look at Inoue, the reporter who was still standing next to him.

"What was the reporter trying to ask me? My thoughts were so suddenly interrupted that I forgot it."

Sasuke gave Inoue, who seemed to understand but whose expression was clearly embarrassed, a way out, suggesting that he should be sensible and stop bothering him.

"Um... could I ask your name, and what your role is in the tennis club...?"

Inoue Mamoru awkwardly wiped away imaginary sweat, still agonizing over the question from earlier. However, he still needed to continue his investigation into the members of the Hyotei tennis club, so that the article he wrote later would be more complete.

He no longer believes Sasuke was bullied by his senior, but his thoughts have strayed in some uncertain direction.

For example, some people believe that Sasuke is not a player, but rather someone in a support role, such as a coach's assistant or a tennis club manager.

"Sakaki Sasuke, a member of the Hyotei Tennis Club, first place in Group 1 of Group 8 of the school tournament... The group stage is completely over? Let me change it slightly: I am the champion of Group 8 of the Hyotei Tennis Club school tournament, and one of the regular members of the Hyotei Tennis Club."

Sasuke stood up and pointed with his racket at the list of participants in Group 8 of the qualifiers.

The first one above is his name.

Before he could finish speaking, a senior student who was recording the data helplessly reminded him that the competition had now entered the group stage of Group 8.

"This...this hasn't even started yet..."

Inoue Mamoru carefully examined the list on the wall, then shifted his gaze to Sasuke.

To claim to be the winner of Group 8 without even playing a match is a bit too much, isn't it?

"We all agree with this result, and now the eight groups will begin the battle for second place!"

The seven members of the tennis club were supposed to draw lots again, but after hearing Inoue's question, they exchanged glances and stood in unison opposite Sasuke.

Furthermore, under Takiginosuke's influence, regardless of whether it's been one, two, or three years, they all bow in unison, showing their respect for the strong and their recognition of Sasuke's strength.

"That's it, I don't need to play."

Sasuke looked at the contestants who had already drawn lots for the competition, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

How the reporter writes it doesn't really matter.

Most of the members of the Hyotei Tennis Club are quite cute.

"Why is this happening? I just saw that even Atobe, as the club president, is still participating in the selection competition..."

After several mistakes, Inoue Mamoru is now getting a little anxious.

He no longer wanted to pay attention to the other contestants; he only wanted to figure out why this one was so special.

"Sir reporter, we don't want anyone to know about Sasuke before the official match. If you need information about the Hyotei regulars, you can go to the others."

Yuushi Oshitari adjusted his glasses and walked into the Group 8 competition area. In a slightly lazy tone, he asked the reporter if he could leave.

The results of his group's matches are out. As soon as he left the tennis court, he heard that a reporter was watching Sasuke, seemingly trying to dig up some dirt on Hyotei.

This news suddenly piqued the interest of Shinobu, who was feeling exhausted and wanted to rest.

"How are you feeling? Have you encountered any tough opponents?"

Sasuke looked at the sweat on Oshitari's face and knew that the guy had just finished a match.

According to the group assignments, Shinobu is in Group 2, which includes several former third-year regulars, so it probably won't be a completely easy time for him.

"Not bad, there were two senior students who were endurance types, and they were almost held back."

Shinobu sat down next to them, placing his racket aside, and his gaze was already fixed on the players who were currently competing.

Because there isn't enough time, many matches are being played simultaneously. Of the current eight matches, only Takiginosuke hasn't played yet.

Since there were 7 people, Taki Oginosuke received a bye and advanced to the next round during the draw.

"Our physical strength has deteriorated significantly. We need to find a way to address this issue in the future and avoid leaving such a significant weakness."

Sasuke glanced at the six people in the match and knew very well that being exhausted at this point did not mean they were truly weak.

At least among junior high school students, it's rare to see someone play so many games in a row without getting tired.

Even so, we must continue to strengthen what needs to be strengthened.

Because from this generation of tennis players all the way up to Ryoma Echizen's generation, there are too many who defy common sense.

"I'm just waiting for the training plan. Sasuke, take your time looking at it. Mr. Reporter, let's go outside and talk."

Shinobu had intended to rest here for a while, but then she noticed out of the corner of her eye that this reporter was still there...

Since he doesn't want to leave, let him personally invite this person out.

Anyway, he doesn't have anything else to do right now, so no one should challenge him today.

"Good, good."

Inoue Mamoru felt a lot of pressure. Apart from the few people in the competition, everyone else was watching him as if he had done something wrong.

After leaving with Shinobu, the defeated players from Group 8 found seats and continued watching the upcoming final showdown, or perhaps chatted about their feelings about the match.

After the top 7 to top 4, there was the top 4 to top 2, and then the final.

In other venues, the first place winner after the finals is the main player, but here, the first place winner can only be a preliminary player.

When the final duel between the two ended and Takiginosuke emerged victorious, Sasuke stood up, took Takiginosuke away, and they left the 8th Division court together.

"Lord Sasuke, would you like to wash my face first?"

Takiginosuke knew where he was being taken, but it was precisely because he knew that he became even more nervous.

Although he knew it was inappropriate, he felt like he had been bullied and was being led to get revenge.

"Go."

Sasuke stopped and glanced around. It was already sunset, and the boy beside him looked quite disheveled after playing so many matches.

"Sasuke, what's wrong?"

Atobe had finished his match early, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then returned to the tennis court.

Seeing Sasuke standing at the entrance of the tennis court, he walked over to greet him, only to find that Sasuke's gaze was fixed on a third-year student.

That person's position is that of the winner of Group 6, who will be the next main player.

Could it be that there's something wrong with this person?

Chapter 27 Takiogi's Counterattack: The Regulars of Hyotei

"It's quite popular; at least half of the matches are contested by the opposing team, which is a real problem."

Sasuke looked at the third-year contestant. There were a few people chatting next to him; they were all members of Team 6 from earlier.

“It’s normal for him to be popular. He was a regular starter before. Although his skills aren’t that great, he’s still better than the others.”

Atobe remembered that person; he had fought him before. Although he had only managed to score less than a minute and a half against him, he was not weak compared to the others.

He wasn't surprised to see this person win.

"I'll challenge Takiginosuke later. Although he didn't even spare a single third-year student, which is really disrespectful, I just prefer the younger version of the future."

Sasuke glanced at the third-year student one last time, then turned around and waited for Takiginosuke, who had just washed his face, to walk up to him.

"Taki Oginosuke? Isn't he in Class 6?"

Because they were all names that had been recorded, Atobe still had a strong impression of Takiginosuke.

Looking at the list of winners from Group 6 again, and considering what Sasuke had said, he understood.

Someone must have done something underhanded, and then delivered the person directly to Sasuke.

Some people are going to be in trouble...

He clearly wouldn't have lost even with his strength, so why did he have to be so foolish as to insist on crashing into Sasuke?

"Come here, let me loosen your shoulders. Your opponent hasn't played many matches, so he's expending much less energy than you. You'll win faster later."

Sasuke grabbed Takiginosuke's shoulders, turned him around, and patted several pressure points on his shoulders.

If the other party plays by the rules, then he will also play a game that "complies" with the rules.

"Go!"

Withdrawing his hand, Sasuke let Takiginosuke pass.

The match had already ended, and all the members of the tennis club were gathering in this direction.
