Yukimura Seiichi was chatting with Atobe on the sofa when he heard someone talking on the stairs. He and Atobe looked over and happened to hear Sasuke talking about martial arts.

When it comes to martial arts, Sanada is undoubtedly the best in their Rikkai University tennis club.

"I studied for a while, but lost interest after a few days. I remember Atobe mentioned before that he had won many championships in fencing. Although they are very different, he and Genichiro should have some common topics."

When asked about Atobe Keigo's strengths besides tennis, Sasuke's first thought was making money, and the second was fencing.

Keigo Atobe, who grew up in England, not only practices fencing regularly, but has also won many awards there, achieving similar success to Genichiro Sanada in youth kendo.

"I didn't realize Atobe was so good at this. I must tell Genichiro later."

Yukimura turned around and looked at Atobe, who was turning his head away with a haughty expression, and his smile seemed to make the surroundings bloom with flowers.

"Stop laughing, let me tell you something else, about how I'm going to play tennis from now on."

Sasuke looked at the aura surrounding Yukimura and realized that the abnormality of this world was no longer limited to the tennis court.

They are clearly normal people, but some people's mental energy can fluctuate in a special way depending on their mood. This can probably be called an aura.

"About Sasuke's tennis?"

Yukimura, Atobe, and Yanagi Renji, who was standing next to them, all looked completely bewildered.

They felt that Sasuke's tennis skills were unmatched, and that it didn't matter how he played, so was there any need for discussion?

"You should have realized by now that there's no point in me going out to play against someone."

Sasuke sat down, leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and spoke with a tone that revealed his inner turmoil and helplessness.

Although these words were meant for these people, Sasuke himself had to admit that it was indeed the truth.

Playing tennis without any real meaning is fine once or twice, but if you play it too often, it gets really boring.

Chapter 49 Do you want to compete against yourself?

"Sasuke, you unglamorous guy, you're not thinking of quitting the tennis club..., are you..."

Atobe's eyes widened; his first thought was that Sasuke was bored and didn't want to play tennis anymore.

Sasuke gave up on so many things because he was bored that he had heard of more than a dozen different kinds just from Sakaki Advisor.

Now, is it finally tennis's turn?

“Tennis is different, and as I’ve said before, Hyotei has been aiming for the championship for the past three years, and I can’t give up until I win it.”

Sasuke pointed to the sofa next to him, gesturing for Atobe to sit down and not to be so startled.

However, he also knew he had a criminal record, and that being fickle and easily bored could really leave a psychological scar.

"So what do you mean? As long as you don't quit the tennis club, you can play however you want. Anyway, you're not going to intentionally lose to your opponent just for fun."

Relieved, Atobe Keigo sat on the sofa and gestured for the servant to bring over drinks. Then he crossed his legs and waited for Sasuke to continue.

"Although I won't lose to my opponent, I'd like to try out your fighting styles. For example... does Seiichi want to experience what it feels like to have all five senses destroyed?"

Shaking his head, Sasuke didn't want to see Atobe so easily comforted.

Looking at Yukimura beside him, he could still clearly remember what it felt like to have his five senses destroyed after he relaxed his consciousness.

It is impolite not to reciprocate; shouldn't users who have their five senses extinguished also experience this for themselves?

Anyway, nothing will go wrong. With Yukimura Seiichi's mental strength, having his five senses destroyed won't cause him any unnecessary psychological trauma.

"Does Sasuke mean that he was able to copy it after the last time?"

Yukimura Seiichi felt that his smile was very forced.

He once used the power of extinguishing his five senses to make some of the troublesome senior students at Rikkai University say goodbye to tennis, but he never imagined that one day someone would want to return all of this to him.

"Pretty much, but I can only rely on simulations, so it's basically at the same level as what you were at before."

Sasuke had no intention of hiding the fact that he could replicate their ball skills after watching them only once.

"The most important thing for eliminating the five senses is mental power, which you seem to be unable to use right now. How can you... Alright, let's have a fight after dinner."

Looking at Sasuke's serious expression, Yukimura Seiichi suddenly stopped himself from asking the question he was about to ask.

If you don't understand something, experience it for yourself on the tennis court. There's nothing that can't be solved on the tennis court.

"Hey you two, aren't you going too far by ignoring me like this?!"

Atobe Keigo was initially feeling relaxed, but after overhearing the conversation between the two, he suddenly remembered something that Oshitari had said earlier.

'Atobe, Sasuke has so many friends. What if one day he feels nobody's around at Hyotei and decides to go to another school?'

At that time, he clearly told Shinobu that such a thing was absolutely impossible.

But now he was a little unsure, because these guys from Rikkai University were too familiar with Sasuke.

Even the tennis team they wanted to emulate was Rikkai, not their own familiar style...

"There's nothing we can do about it. You're just too familiar with the game; you could play better than me even with your eyes closed..."

Sasuke didn't care whether Atobe was about to explode, but he really had no interest in using Atobe's ball skills against Atobe Keigo.

I personally taught him; although Atobe learned the skills on his own, I supervised the entire process of refining them and offered suggestions for improvement.

Playing tennis like this is really boring.

"It's so enviable. I've known Genichiro for so many years, and we've practiced tennis together since we were kids, but I just can't seem to learn..."

Yukimura glanced at Atobe beside him, then at Sasuke, whose lips seemed to be slightly curved, and suddenly thought of the way he used to tease Genichiro.

I knew I was right. Beneath Sasuke's arrogant exterior lies a restless and interesting soul!

"If you want to learn Genichiro's ball skills, the first step is to not lose to him in physique and swordsmanship. Yukimura, you should give up. Try out some of Genichiro's moves with him later. He performed quite well today and should be able to imitate more than nine-tenths of them."

Sasuke had previously hurt Atobe, and now he's turned around and stabbed Yukimura in the heart.

Incidentally, Sanada is also included in tonight's solo match.

The wind, forest, mountain, and fire are all in the air; now, only the yin and thunder are missing.

This is normal, since these are all advanced techniques developed later in the game.

Even if the two hidden ball skills that could defeat Tezuka were catalyzed in advance, they still wouldn't be able to be mastered until at least next year.

As for the subsequent events in the U17 team, that's when the real battleground begins, and the tennis club could easily turn into a demolition site if not handled carefully.

"I suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Sanada..."

Renji Yanagi secretly jotted down a few notes. He had originally planned to ask the Hyotei people for some information tonight, but it seemed that wouldn't be possible now.

Whether it's Yukimura or Sanada, the fact that they were defeated by their own skills is top-secret information that will never be available again, and we absolutely cannot miss it.

The matter was settled, and no one else was told until the end of dinner. Only Yanagi Renji couldn't help but observe Sanada Genichiro at the dinner table.

"Genichiro, Sasuke has challenged us to two one-on-one matches. Let's go together."

After dinner, Yukimura called out to Sanada, who was about to leave.

"why?"

Sanada stopped and turned around, looking at Yukimura with a puzzled expression.

There's no need to continue fighting against an opponent like that.

The difference in essence is too great. Is Yukimura really interested in being a spectator at the competition?

"It seems they've researched a new playing style that can help us recognize the shortcomings in our own skills. I've already agreed, and Genichiro should be interested too, right?"

Yukimura Seiichi's smile had an eerie aura, which successfully made Sanada, who had not yet cultivated a completely serious aura, nod in agreement.

"This is such an interesting thing, we should go and see it. We can cancel tonight's entertainment."

Yuushi Oshitari glanced at the other people in the restaurant, pushed up his glasses (which had no prescription), and immediately changed his original plan.

"Pfft... Is playing tennis with that Sasuke guy really going to be fun?"

Niou Masaharu's hair wasn't long enough to tie into a small braid, but the ends were already long enough for him to hold between his fingers and wrap around them.

Seeing that everyone seemed interested, he followed along despite having different opinions.

Although that kind of tennis was really boring, he was extremely interested in the minister and deputy minister being completely outmatched on the tennis court.

only...

Once they return to Rikkai University, the minister and vice minister will surely give them back all the excitement they've been watching.

Especially the minister, that guy can be really wicked when he's bullying people!

Chapter 50 Two People's Adventures

"We've rested enough, who wants to go first?"

Sasuke made sure he had rested enough after the meal before picking up his tennis racket and walking onto the tennis court.

Seeing that the two of them hadn't decided who would go to the mall first, he really wanted to suggest that they make a joint decision.

We've played before, is it really necessary to be so conflicted?

"I'll go first, thank you!"

Sanada walked off the court with his racket in hand, feeling conflicted because he wasn't sure how many of his tennis shots could be copied.

Standing on the opposite side, he knew this was actually a coaching match, so he earnestly thanked them before starting.

"Genichiro's politeness is really frustrating..."

Sasuke never expected that Sanada would do something so obviously out of character in front of so many people.

However, since they thanked him so sincerely and took the stage as learners, he should take it even more seriously.

He can now completely replicate the elements of wind, forest, fire, and mountain.

Furthermore, because his physical abilities were much stronger than Sanada's, even if he played the same tennis in the exact same way, the results could be different.

"The match will be a tiebreaker, with the winner determined in one game. Sanada serves!"

Yuushi Oshitari, who took the initiative to sit on the referee's bench, looked both sides over before calling for the start.

He actually really wanted to complain to someone: Sanada's eyes were fierce, which didn't match his polite demeanor at all!

However, he is now the referee, sitting in the position where he can't complain.
