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

The call was, of course, made to Tezuka Kunimitsu, but Tezuka was unaware of Sasuke's eye problem beforehand.

When Tezuka heard Sanada say that the change occurred on that day, he was able to immediately and definitively say that Sasuke had gotten into trouble because he was trying to help him.

But as to exactly how he helped him, Tezuka stated that this was an absolutely secret that could not be revealed...

"This kind of thing won't affect me. It's just that my mental control is a little unstable. If you're not afraid of crippling your team members, I don't mind going on the field to practice."

Sasuke looked at Yukimura with a strange expression and suspected that he was plotting against the Hyotei regulars.

As for whether she was plotting against him...

Others might, but Yukimura and Sanada wouldn't willingly offer themselves up to be tortured.

"That's a real shame. You should get some rest."

Ignoring Sasuke's seemingly expectant gaze, Yukimura Seiichi made it clear that they had absolutely no need to field Hyotei's 'sick' player.

"What a pity..."

With a slightly dejected look down, Sasuke continued eating his dessert. His listless state brought smiles to the eyes of the Hyotei regulars.

They've always been trained terribly, so this is a rare opportunity to watch the show.

"However, if Sasuke doesn't play, Hyotei won't have enough players."

The red-haired boy from Rikkai University looked up and counted again to make sure that Hyotei didn't have enough people.

"It seems that's true. Your tennis team is missing a regular player."

Looking at the Hyotei members who showed no reaction, Yukimura Seiichi realized that it wasn't that someone had arrived late, but that there were only seven people there in total, and the other regular member had never planned to come in the first place.

Chapter 42 It's really not an illness

"Then there's really nothing we can do. This is not a very good development for you."

Sasuke looked up at the Rikkai University regulars and began to think about who he should fight.

He can recognize most of Rikkai's current regular players.

Yukimura Seiichi, Sanada Genichiro, Yanagi Renji, Marui Bunta, and Niou Masaharu – this lineup has remained unchanged.

Besides these five people, there are three other contestants whom Sasuke doesn't recognize, but who don't have a strong presence.

There are a total of eight starters, two doubles teams, three singles teams, and one substitute.

However, at Hyotei Academy, everyone is currently a first-year student. The only second-year student, Higashiyama Hiroshi, called last night to say that he had to take leave because of family matters.

“If Sasuke wants to play, then I’ll have to stand opposite him. After all, we can’t let our tennis club face a reduction in members after the training camp.”

Yukimura Seiichi smiled helplessly. He had once longed to play tennis with Sasuke, and now he was just as reluctant to meet him in a match.

But apart from him, none of the other players in Rikkai University's tennis team could necessarily leave the court safely.

"Sasuke's position is one-on-one. If Yukimura really decides to fight Sasuke, then let's wait until the end."

Atobe Keigo glanced at Sasuke again, wanting to ask him if he could go and rest. He really wouldn't mind finding someone from the Hyotei Tennis Club's reserve team.

That Dongshan Fei also faltered at crucial moments, yet he had been challenged by reserve team members many times, and none of them had been able to win.

"I'm going to sunbathe for a while. Call me when the game starts."

Sasuke finished his dessert, stood up, said hello, and walked out.

He didn't like sunbathing before, but now his mental state is still somewhat unstable, and he needs the warmth of the sun to make himself more comfortable.

"Sasuke, now I've not only joined the tennis club, I'm a regular player! Before I came here, I was hoping to play a match against you..."

Marui Bunta followed him out of the restaurant and caught up to find Sasuke lying on the grass.

After sitting down on the ground, Marui Bunta talked for a while before realizing that the other person wasn't listening at all.

“If it were before, it wouldn’t have mattered if we had a match, but not now. Even if I were to face your minister, I can’t guarantee that I would be completely without mistakes.”

Sasuke lay on the ground with his eyes closed, listening to Marui Bunta say a lot. When he sensed that Marui was staring at him, he explained why he couldn't fight them.

"Our minister is very skilled; it seems quite normal to make mistakes when playing against him..."

Marui Bunta paused for a moment, then started talking about how strong Yukimura was, and even offered a few words of comfort beforehand.

He assumed that Sasuke didn't want to lose, which was why he was worried about making a mistake.

"Red-haired kid, aren't you dreaming too much? Sasuke's mistake was that his mental strength might be unstable and he was afraid of hurting your captain."

Taki Oginosuke walked over with several drinks, placed one next to Sasuke, and then handed another to Marui Bunta.

Looking at the dumbfounded red-haired boy, Takiginosuke felt it necessary to educate this overly familiar kid, telling him not to come looking for trouble.

This is just a friendly match and a two-day training camp; there's no need to cause any other problems for the Rikkai students.

Just like Yukimura Seiichi said, if we can't even play a friendly match, then the starting lineup will suffer losses.

"What do you know? Captain Yukimura is the strongest!"

Marui Bunta, holding his drink, stared at Taki Oginosuke with wide eyes.

"Tch... I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you. Don't disturb Sasuke's rest. Come with me to the activity area. Anyway, it's not up to you who gets to play."

Taki Oginosuke gestured for Marui Bunta to follow him.

Although they didn't know Sasuke's situation, the members of Hyotei had already reached a tacit understanding to try not to disturb Sasuke's rest during this period.

Although still somewhat dissatisfied, Marui Bunta quietly followed Taki Oginosuke away.

He continued to lie there sunbathing until, more than two hours later, someone came to Sasuke's side again.

"The match is about to begin."

Genichiro Sanada stopped more than two meters away and informed them that the tennis match was about to begin.

"Let's go. Even though it's a friendly match, we still need to take it seriously."

Sasuke opened his eyes, stood up, and walked with Sanada toward the tennis court.

"Tezuka said this is a secret between you and him. He didn't know you would be in this situation before, and now he is very worried about you."

Walking down the street, Sanada suddenly stopped and finally spoke the words that had been troubling him for hours.

He knew that prying into other people's affairs might upset them, but he had already called Tezuka, and he knew that such things would be found out sooner or later even if he didn't say anything.

It's better to admit it yourself than to have it found out from others.

This is why Sanada specifically came to find Sasuke.

"It's nothing serious. My situation... is really hard to explain. Let's just leave it at that. I'll recover naturally in a few days."

Sasuke looked at Sanada, who was expecting him to give a reason, and decided not to make one up. It was too much trouble and unnecessary.

"..."

When Sanada Genichiro arrived at the tennis court, he felt a strong urge to beat up the guy who had started the conversation and then suddenly stopped.

But that's just wishful thinking. The patient needs care, and even if he were sick, he probably couldn't win a fight...

"Sasuke, is it fun teasing Genichiro?"

Yukimura Seiichi looked at Sanada, who was gloomy and unhappy, and went to Sasuke's side, wondering how he had made Sanada so angry.

"I wasn't teasing him, he's just overthinking things, but I can't explain it. You don't think I'm sick either, do you?"

Sasuke pointed to his eyes, but because his mental strength was unstable, he did not use genjutsu to cover them.

But this really isn't an illness. In the future, Rikkai University will produce a kid whose eyes not only change color, but whose hair can also turn from black to white in an instant.

At that time, no one thought that Kirihara Akari was also sick. Why was he treated as a special care recipient just because he changed his eyes? This was unreasonable!

"Unstable mental energy, isn't that a symptom of illness?"

Yukimura Seiichi tilted his head innocently and looked at Sasuke. He knew that Sasuke was different from others, so he didn't think that Sasuke was sick.

But now that we have this rare opportunity to see him trying to explain but unable to find the words, it would be a real shame not to seize it.

He doesn't just enjoy teasing Genichiro; he's interested in everyone he gets to know.

"I believe you..."

Turning his gaze to the court, Sasuke decided to ignore this scheming guy.

Just wait, they'll pay it back sooner or later!

Chapter 43 The regular selection for Yukimura Hyotei is a bit strange.

"Seishi, your Rikkai's doubles pair 2 isn't having much luck."

Sasuke looked up at the court. The first match was doubles 2, with two third-year students from Rikkai University facing off against Yuushi Oshitari and Jiro Akutagawa from Hyotei.

Oshitari had protested about being assigned to doubles, but after being thrashed by Atobe in several matches, he had no choice but to accept the arrangement.

As for Jiro Akutagawa...

Atobe only said that he wanted to try a new way of playing the game, and then he got more excited than anyone else and even took the initiative to go and practice with Oshitari.

"Your Hyotei's doubles second... is a style that the upperclassmen have never seen before, so it's not surprising that you lost."

Yukimura Seiichi has been watching Rikkai's doubles team get crushed from the very beginning. It's the sixth inning now, and the current score is Hyotei 5-0 Rikkai.

However, neither Yuushi Oshitari nor Jiro Akutagawa were playing doubles; they simply divided the court in two, each guarding one side...

"Because we've been training individually, we don't even have a doubles pair yet."

Sasuke watched as the two, who seemed to have no connection, worked together seamlessly when the ball was hit to the center, and he was fairly satisfied with the current result.

It's okay if you haven't played doubles before. We're currently in the adjustment phase. This training camp with Rikkai is to give Hyotei an opportunity to find a doubles combination.

"Match ended, Hyotei wins, 6-0"

With the referee announcing the score, the first set of the doubles match came to an end.

Facing the Hyotei pair who showed absolutely no signs of playing doubles, the two third-year students from Rikkai looked utterly dejected. Losing wasn't the worst thing; losing to such a makeshift pair was...

Even though Yukimura and Sanada didn't say anything, they still felt embarrassed.

"Sasuke, Atobe, I won! Did you see that? I returned three more balls than Oshitari, I won C..."
