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

Sasuke glanced at the time and realized it was already past 2 a.m.

He didn't linger in the house for long, but it was already past midnight when he was looking at the moon by the roadside. Young people shouldn't stay up late.

Because the system had repeatedly warned him not to court disaster, Sasuke realized just how much trouble he had gotten himself into tonight.

Fortunately, many things remained just thoughts, or were stopped just as they were about to begin, but he was still mentally exhausted and needed a good night's sleep.

"No need. What would a little kid like you know? Go to sleep. Don't be late for class tomorrow morning."

When Sakaki Taro first saw Sasuke looking sleepy, he waved him upstairs to rest.

No matter how things develop tonight, it will have nothing to do with a top-ranked student in the national college entrance examination.

His butler and servants would not say anything they shouldn't at this time.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Uncle."

Nodding, Sasuke walked through the door again and went upstairs to the room that had always been prepared for him, but which he had never stayed in.

He lay down and closed his eyes to rest. In his light sleep, he heard people talking downstairs, and even some shouting.

Before long, everyone downstairs had left. The aftermath was still uncertain, but it was confirmed that this matter had nothing to do with Sasuke.

The next morning, Sasuke woke up, yawned, ate breakfast, and then went to Sakaki Taro's car to get his tennis bag before running all the way to school.

Good morning!

Sasuke arrived at the classroom right on time, greeted Atobe next to him, then lay down on his desk, closed his eyes, and fell asleep immediately.

"This...unglamorous guy..."

When Atobe saw that this guy was sleeping in class, he really wanted to drag him up.

But remembering the news he heard this morning, he not only refrained from taking action, but even used his eyes to shoo the teacher, who was about to come over to call for help, back to the podium when the teacher came to class.

With such a major incident involving the Sakaki family, Sasuke, as the heir, is probably having a hard time. This is the guess of the few members of the tennis club who know the news.

But this thought only lasted for a morning. When they saw the thick stack of training books that Sasuke had taken out in the tennis club's lounge during club activities in the afternoon, everyone was basically certain that this guy really hadn't been affected at all.

"Sasuke, did you prepare all of this? That's amazing!"

Jiro Akutagawa looked at his portion of the cake again and again, then ran excitedly to Sasuke, as if he had given him a huge cake.

"It's really impressive, but the difficulty is just too high. Sasuke, are you sure we'll still have time for our regular sparring sessions?"

Yuushi Oshitari held his copy, looking at it again and again, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

He knows he can complete such high-intensity training, but he'll probably be exhausted afterward.

"No problem, you just go and train, I'll keep a close eye on you."

Sasuke waved a blank notebook in his hand; this notebook was about to record the data status of these people during training.

The current training is just a foundation, so their mindset during training and the extent to which they can sustain themselves with mental strength will all affect the subsequent arrangements and adjustments.

"That's it. The coach probably won't be coming for the next few days, so you can start warming up and then give it your all!"

After confirming that they had each received their share, Sasuke checked the time again and urged them to get moving.

As for the coach who will be absent for a few days...

Generally speaking, because of that woman's appearance, Sakaki Taro now had a convenient excuse to carry out a major purge of the Sakaki family.

I really want to be a good parent...

They actually said they didn't need his help at all, even though they knew he would clean it much better if he went...

Could it be that the uncle felt ashamed to be helped by a child because of his pride as a parent?

Chapter 32 The Sanada Family Banquet: Sanada and Tezuka Compete Again

"Sasuke, you finished the call so quickly?"

After finishing another training session, Yuushi Oshitari came out and saw Sasuke, who had just hung up the phone. He wanted to gossip about the content of the call.

"Shinobu, we just arranged an exchange match. The opponents are mostly first-year students. If you don't work hard, you might get beaten to tears next weekend."

Sasuke put his phone in his pocket, patted Yuushi Oshitari on the shoulder, and then turned and walked into the training room.

This training room is quite large, but only the regular players from the tennis club can use it.

Looking at the few people still training, Sasuke pondered the next training plan.

Half a month has passed since the start of the school year, and the tennis club is now back on track. Even the preliminary team members were re-selected yesterday.

It is expected that some regulars will be challenged in the next few days, but Sasuke believes that these regulars will not be so easily dragged down.

Having gradually adapted to the high-intensity training, Atobe now uses most of his allowance, aside from the money he spent on modifying Hyotei, to buy materials for his medicinal baths.

With more money being spent, Atobe has become increasingly interested in making money. According to him, his recent investments have already begun.

The call I just received was from Seiichi Yukimura. Besides arranging a friendly match with Hyotei, he also mentioned a dinner party for tomorrow.

The dinner had nothing to do with the tennis club; it was held at the Sanada residence, and Sakaki Taro and Sasuke were among the invitees.

After Sasuke finished preparing his training plan for the following week on the second day, it was time for him to get ready to attend this dinner party that had little to do with him.

He shouldn't have been invited to the banquet hosted by the Sanada family, but the Sanada and Sakaki families had some marital ties several generations ago. This time, the Sakaki family's main branch had been dealt with so badly that they were afraid to ask the Sanada family patriarch to mediate.

Before going, Sakaki Taro had already summarized with Sasuke that this was just a small scene where some people would bow their heads and admit their mistakes, and then a witness would be needed.

So, after arriving at the Sanada residence, Sasuke didn't even stay in the banquet hall for half an hour before being taken away by Sanada, who always had a serious expression even at home.

Also leaving were Yukimura Seiichi and Tezuka Kunimitsu, who had also been brought there by his grandfather.

"So, we sneaked away just to play tennis?"

Sasuke leaned against the wall outside the tennis court, looking at the smiling Yukimura Seiichi next to him, and then at the two with blank faces opposite him. He really wanted to call Atobe.

Rikkai University has a captain and vice-captain, Seigaku University has a captain, and all that's missing is Hyotei University's captain.

"Sanada wants to fight Tezuka, and I'm here to be the referee."

Yukimura Seiichi's smile seemed to be surrounded by blooming flowers, and Sasuke, seeing him like this, thought to himself that this guy's mental strength had increased again.

Perhaps it's because Yukimura has been playing too much tennis lately, leading to frequent use of the "Suppress Five Senses" technique.

But the private match between Sanada and Tezuka doesn't seem to be part of the story, right?

If the story included a private match between them, Sanada wouldn't have kept thinking about it for two years.

"Then I'll be a spectator."

Sasuke consciously indicated that he would not participate.

Moreover, he's very curious about the Tezuka Domain now, and he should be able to see it soon.

And Genichiro Sanada, his skill level should also increase over the past two weeks.

"Sasuke can give him some guidance after the match. Sanada has been practicing very hard lately and has made great progress compared to before."

Yukimura Seiichi's smile deepened. When he talked about Sanada's hard work, it was somewhat similar to how most parents would praise their child for getting good grades.

Although it felt a bit far-fetched, Sasuke subconsciously imagined this scene after hearing Yukimura's words.

"I'll try my best..."

Sasuke, startled by his own imagination, found a suitable spot to observe and decided not to discuss Sanada with Yukimura for the time being.

He's afraid he might accidentally reveal something about your child...

"Sanada's serve."

Yukimura didn't understand why Sasuke had gone so far, but it was time to start, and as the referee, he had to focus on the match between the two.

On the court, Tezuka Kunimitsu adjusted his glasses, rolled up half of his shirt sleeves, and looked intently at Sanada across from him.

Since they were attending a dinner party, their clothes were all similar suits, which were not actually suitable for playing tennis.

But he didn't expect that Genichiro Sanada would ask him to come out and seriously say that he wanted to fight.

After leaving the banquet hall, he saw the boy he had met near Seigaku earlier, whom Fuji had later said was a possible successor of the Onmyoji.

"here we go!"

After confirming that Tezuka had made his adjustments, Sanada greeted him and tossed the tennis ball into the air.

boom!

The racket swung, the tennis ball flew to the other side, and the match between Sanada and Tezuka began once again.

Sasuke stood against the wall, his gaze fixed on the tennis ball and the two people.

Although the changes are not significant, Yukimura is right; Sanada has indeed grown somewhat.

But Tezuka Kunimitsu's strength was truly exceptional for his age group; when facing Sanada, it was basically a crushing defeat...

"Tezuka scores, change sides."

At the end of the first game, Sanada's serve was won by Tezuka.

Sasuke wasn't surprised by this result, because at this time, Sanada's mastery of the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain techniques was not yet complete, and he lacked the Lightning and Shadow techniques that followed.

According to his observation, if Sanada wanted to beat Tezuka, he would at least need to develop a move as swift as lightning.

If Tezuka hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have stayed put during Sanada's growth period, and it's impossible to predict what would have happened in the future.

"Tezuka scores, 2-0"

"Tezuka scores, 3-0"

"Tezuka scores. 4-0"

Tezuka won four games in a row, and Yukimura announced the score once again. Looking at Sanada, who was in low spirits, Yukimura's eyes showed a hint of worry.

He had witnessed Sanada's hard work and growth during this period of practice, but now...

“Seichi, Genichiro seems scared. What do you think he’s afraid of? Is it that he’s afraid we’ll see him fail?”

Sasuke, growing increasingly bored, walked over to Yukimura's vicinity, ignoring Sanada and Tezuka's gazes, and began chatting with Yukimura about Sanada's situation as if no one else was around.

"Probably not..."

Yukimura Seiichi sighed. He didn't want to admit it, but that was indeed the case.

Sanada now is not even as good as he was in the match he played against half a month ago.
