"Senior Domoto, I am the second place in Group 8, and the reserve contestant Taki Oginosuke. Now I challenge you!"
Takiginosuke walked up to Domoto and, under the watchful eyes of all the tennis club members, issued a challenge.
"Junior, the selection process has just ended. Are you sure you want to challenge him now? Doesn't that seem a bit excessive?"
Domoto never expected that the first-year student he had painstakingly sent out would return as a reserve player.
Moreover, they challenged him at this very moment.
He didn't want to take on this challenge because it would be embarrassing to win or lose.
If he wins, people will say that it's unfair for a first-year student to come over after playing the whole game and then play against someone who has only played a few games.
If he loses, then he won't even be able to beat a first-year student who played the entire game...
"I know you didn't play the full match, and I also had a break during the competition. Besides, the qualifiers are over now, so it's perfectly in accordance with the rules for me to challenge you. Senior Domoto, please!"
Taki Ogi nosuke was very angry and didn't hold back with his senior.
If he loses, he can only admit that he is not strong enough, but he hates being schemed against.
What's most outrageous is that he appeared before that person as if he had been bullied by a senior.
Now, those two adults are watching from outside the stadium. He will use victory to wash away the shame of being outmaneuvered!
"Since you didn't play the entire game either, it can't be considered that I'm bullying you..."
Domoto only stepped forward with his racket after hearing that his opponent had taken a break from one of the matches.
At least now, after winning, if anyone says he bullied his junior, he has a reason to refute it.
The first challenge match for Hyotei's new regular lineup had already begun before everyone had even assembled.
"Xiao Jing, have you noticed that this Takiginosuke seems to be a huge fan of yours, even more sincere than that guy who set up a fan club for you?"
Sasuke, with his hands in his pockets, was watching the match, but suddenly he turned to look at Atobe.
Taki Oginosuke's fighting spirit is truly admirable!
In order to make a good impression on the people they admire, they greatly increased their overall aura.
"Heh... Sasuke, I didn't expect you to have such low emotional intelligence. The person he admires is clearly you. The reason he's so angry this time is because he lost face in front of you, which triggered an excessively strong anger."
Atobe placed his fingers on his face. Although he hadn't activated the Ice World, his insight was always very strong.
Takiginosuke's casual turn just now, or the change in his gaze when switching locations, were indeed directed at them.
However, he had little interaction with Takiginosuke, and if he admired anyone, it would only be Sasuke.
“He’s looked over here 16 times since the start of the competition. Nine times he looked at you and seven times he looked at me. Who do you think he admires more?”
Seeing that Atobe was absolutely certain he hadn't misjudged, Sasuke could only prove it with one absolutely precise statistic.
"I see... As expected of my irresistible charm, I've already made him fall at the feet of my magnificent ball skills!"
Atobe paused for a moment upon hearing the data comparison, then readily accepted the admirer who had appeared out of nowhere.
Furthermore, he narcissistically ran his fingers through the ends of his hair...
"A narcissistic daffodil..."
Turning back to watch the game, Sasuke didn't want to pay any attention to this overly narcissistic guy.
The challenge match lasted for half an hour, until the referee announced '6:4, Takiginosuke wins,' and the tennis club members watching from the sidelines all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, it's time to gather."
Atobe called out to Sasuke, and together they walked towards the tennis court.
After this match, which was clearly dragged into a war of attrition, Hyotei's starting lineup was finalized.
"Everyone, gather!"
Keigo Atobe stepped to the front, snapped his fingers, and gave instructions in the now quiet tennis court.
"Now, the tennis club's regular and reserve players have all been selected. All reserve players can challenge the regulars twice within two weeks..."
Atobe once again explained a series of rules for the future development of the tennis club, which were basically about the regular players, the challenge time for reserve players, and the detailed arrangements for the reserve player selection tournament.
After going through a lot of detailed rules, the team was naturally disbanded, leaving only the current school team members.
The eight remaining players are: Captain Keigo Atobe, Yuushi Oshitari, Jiro Akutagawa, Gakuto Mukahi, Ryo Shishido, Oginosuke Taki, Hiroyama Hiroshi (second year student), and Sasuke, who hasn't played a single match yet.
Apart from Higashiyama Fei, whom Sasuke had never heard of before, the others were all first-year students.
"Listen up, everyone! Our goal is the national championship!"
Atobe Keigo looked at the new starting lineup of the school team and once again led them in shouting that slogan.
However, this Dongshan Fei...
Not only did Sasuke have no recollection of him, but even Atobe, who had looked up information on all the tennis club members, couldn't remember anything about him.
"If we're not busy tonight, we could have dinner together and get to know each other."
Sasuke took out his phone and checked the time. It was time to get ready, take a shower, and then have dinner.
"Okay, I want to eat cake!"
Jiro Akutagawa was the first to raise his hand; he was already starving.
Moreover, it's okay to go home later, or you can call home and stay out tonight.
"My dear son, you shouldn't eat anything too sweet for dinner..."
Ryo Shishido scratched his head, looked at Jiro Akutagawa, and emphasized that dinner was not about dessert.
The others were also fine, as they were all quite relaxed at the moment.
After everyone agreed, Higashiyama Hiya, a second-year student, nodded and followed the others to the locker room.
23qb.
Chapter 28 The frightened system host, please don't court death.
"Since Higashiyama-senpai is a transfer student, will he stay at Hyotei University from now on?"
During a dinner party, Shinobu chatted with this upperclassman and discovered that he had also just joined Hyotei, even though he was a second-year student...
"Due to some family reasons, I frequently change schools, and I'm currently unsure when my next transfer will be..."
Higashiyama Fei looks more mature, but he is actually only one year older than them.
He sat in the chair, looking at everyone who was watching him out of curiosity, and said somewhat awkwardly that he didn't know how long he could stay at Hyotei.
His tennis skills are indeed quite good, but because he always has to move around, he has never had a formal school team membership.
He had absolutely no idea about transferring to Hyotei this time.
But when he saw the first-year students working so hard, he couldn't help but want to see if he was qualified.
"In that case... it seems we need to make some flexible placement arrangements for Higashiyama-senpai."
Atobe nodded. It was a troublesome thing that the regulars would leave at any time.
"Actually, you can prepare in advance, and it would be best to find a suitable person to defeat me as soon as possible."
Because he knew his own situation very well, Higashiyama Fei clearly expressed his expectations.
He's in this position, and it's impossible for him to give it up voluntarily, but he's looking forward to someone defeating him.
"This situation, senior, is indeed a bit troublesome..."
Sasuke leaned back on the sofa, looking at the second-year senior who had suddenly appeared, and wondered whether he should go out and find someone to fill the vacancy.
But it was just a thought; he gave up on the idea of going out to drag someone back.
There's already one more person, and there will be more candidates next year anyway. If we bring in more people, it seems like we're suppressing the performance opportunities of the existing members even more.
Rather than focusing on getting stronger by bringing in outside help, he sticks to his original plan: to train these young men.
"I've heard some rumors that Sasuke's training method is rather unique. I probably won't be able to participate in this training. If no one can defeat me before I leave Hyotei, then I'll just have to watch my juniors work hard."
Higashiyama Fei's expression was rather indifferent, probably because he had transferred schools so many times that he didn't seem to have any intention of integrating into any particular group.
Moreover, he had absolutely no interest in the state of being completely defeated and forced to lie flat.
He likes tennis, but tennis isn't the only thing he cares about.
"Then let's hope someone can defeat Higashiyama-senpai."
Sasuke nodded, and the matter was settled.
As for Atobe's opinion...
Given the current situation, Atobe might prefer that the tennis club produce a technically strong player to replace this guy who has secured a starting position but only wants to coast along.
However, Higashiyama Fei's tennis skills are truly impressive.
Since he hadn't seen his match, Sasuke could only judge based on his physical attributes. In terms of physical fitness alone, Higashiyama Hiroshi had reached a level where he wouldn't lose to Atobe.
Someone with such good physical fitness and tennis skills, now that they've joined the Hyotei Tennis Club, should make the most of their abilities, perhaps by acting as a sparring partner for the first-year regulars when needed...
Under Atobe's arrangement, everyone was very satisfied with dinner, and Jiro even leaned against Mukahi Gakuto and started snoring after eating his fill.
After everyone's drivers came to pick them up and dispersed to their own homes, Sasuke was the only one walking down the street.
He's not in a hurry to go home, nor does he want to go back.
Four years ago today, he came into this world at midnight.
I stayed in England after that, so I didn't think about it much.
But today is different. He is now in Tokyo and has almost reached the place where he started his time travel, and certain thoughts are spreading uncontrollably.
"Uncle... um, it'll be alright, I just went to take a look... okay..."
Walking down the street, Sasuke answered the phone. Hearing Sakaki Taro's sudden concern, he suspected that the guy might have installed a listening device around him.
However, even though people were worried about him, he still went.
He assured me over the phone that there would be no problems and promised to return home safely after watching the video before hanging up.
The sky is clear tonight, and the cool moonlight is captivating...
Under the moonlight, the cat-like boy ran and leaped, displaying a speed that humans could not achieve in the night.
