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

He is said to be a tennis master who is over two meters tall, likes to dye his hair, is very good at tennis, and led Hyotei to national fame.

But what does this person want to do by asking to meet me?

"Sasuke, are you alright?"

Atobe looked at the phone that had returned to his hand, and then at Sasuke's cold expression. His first thought was that something terrible had happened.

Although Sasuke usually has a cold face, he mostly gives off an arrogant vibe, rather than being truly indifferent.

I only become like this when I encounter trouble or am in a bad mood.

"Ochi Tsukiko found my uncle and said he wanted to meet me, but my uncle couldn't explain what it was about, and it felt a bit strange."

Sasuke sat down in the chair, still unable to figure out what the senior who had already moved up to the high school level was trying to do.

Moreover, the elementary, junior high, and high school stages at Hyotei are all close together.

It's just a short walk after school, and you can get from the high school section to the junior high section. This invitation was so thoughtful...

This is really weird!

Chapter 56 Parents' Competitive Spirit

"Ochi Tsukiko? He's a really amazing upperclassman; no one can return his Mach serve..."

Ryo Shishido, standing nearby, spoke of this senior who had already gone to the high school, his eyes filled with admiration.

He attended Hyotei Primary School, so naturally he also visited the middle school.

Just like recently, a few elementary school kids have been coming over to watch them practice tennis during club activities.

"Mach serves..."

Sasuke leaned back in his chair, temporarily assuming that the other person's purpose in seeking him out was to play a game of tennis.

So, how can I break my opponent's serve without going too far?

"It's incredibly fast... Sasuke, Ochi Tsukimitsu is looking for you, he doesn't want to play tennis with you, does he?"

Ryo Shishido thought about it more and more and felt that this was possible.

Everyone knows that Sasuke is very good at tennis, and that senior who has already gone to high school must have heard about the junior high school tennis club.

"I don't know. My uncle didn't say why. We'll find out next weekend."

Shaking his head, Sasuke thought that although the other party wanted to play tennis, it was just a guess.

"You arranged to meet off-campus?"

Atobe, who was listening nearby, frowned. He had just returned from England and didn't know what kind of person Ochi Tsukiko was.

The only information I had was from the previous achievements of the Hyotei tennis club, which told me that he was a strong tennis club captain.

"We haven't decided on a specific location yet. I just asked my uncle to give my phone number to that senior student, and we'll contact him about the exact location and time this weekend."

Sasuke took out his phone, replaced the battery with one that the butler had brought, and checked his emails and missed calls after turning it on. He confirmed that he had not yet received any agreed-upon addresses.

"If it's a remote area, we'll have the driver take you there. We know you like running, but we also need to consider whether it's convenient for you to come back."

Atobe didn't say anything more. This kind of personal agreement had nothing to do with the tennis club, and he couldn't possibly say anything like that he would send someone over or go with someone.

However, he had to remind Sasuke that since he had been invited, he should at least maintain some semblance of his status as a young master.

Don't rely on your own two legs for everything; people who don't know better might think the Sakaki family didn't provide a driver.

"Well, if I weren't at school, I would have the driver take me. Our driver is so bored that he's become an apprentice with the gardener."

Sasuke thought of his family's drivers and realized that he had indeed neglected them for too long.

Let them maintain their value to some extent, otherwise they might have to change jobs to keep their wages.

"Sasuke's fame has probably already caught the attention of the high school students. Atobe, you'd better watch out. I heard that Sasuke's grades have always been perfect, and he's already self-taught all the middle school subjects..."

Yukimura Seiichi listened quietly for a while, and after roughly understanding the situation, he suddenly mentioned something that even the regulars of Hyotei were not very familiar with.

This kind of thing definitely has nothing to do with him, but he likes to watch the show, especially to see the Hyotei team members looking conflicted.

"Really? Sasuke, you really taught yourself all three years of junior high school?"

Ryo Shishido stared at Sasuke in shock. He couldn't believe there could be such an amazing student, but if it was Sasuke, he really didn't know what Sasuke couldn't do.

"I've studied some of it on my own, so I don't have any problems with written exams, but I don't plan to skip grades."

Sasuke nodded; he could pass the written exam.

After all, he had asked his uncle to prepare all the study materials, and he created multiple shadow clones to create a bunch of himself, each holding a book, and he finished studying them in a day or two.

Although his multiple shadow clones are not as ferocious as Naruto's, this is not the ninja world. He can currently create ten clones and maintain them for a whole day without any problems.

"How could I not know..."

Atobe's voice was full of displeasure. He had no idea about this information, yet the people from Rikkai University knew it so clearly.

Sure enough, Rikkai University really does have the intention to poach talent, right?

"I'm also very curious how Seiichi knew about this. I've never said anything like that."

Sasuke tilted his head and looked at Yukimura. Only Sakaki Taro knew about this, but would Sakaki Taro tell Yukimura?

This is simply impossible.

"It was Grandpa Sanada who said it..."

Yukimura Seiichi immediately revealed the details of Sanada's death.

If he hadn't visited the Sanada family a few days ago and been told by Grandpa Sanada how strong someone's learning ability was, and that he and Genichiro should learn from him, he wouldn't have known that someone could be so ruthless as to complete three years' worth of courses on their own right at the start of the semester.

This is no longer someone else's child who needs to be emulated; this is a genius whose academic achievement is beyond human reach!

"..."

Sasuke's gaze drifted to Sanada Genichiro, and when he saw that Sanada was blushing, he roughly guessed how this had happened.

Although Sakaki Taro had no connection with Sanada Genichiro, Sanada Genichiro's father managed the business, and he and Sakaki Taro would run into each other because of company matters, and they might then talk about their children.

If Mr. Sanada were to praise Genichiro Sanada for how outstanding he is, Sakaki Taro would inevitably retaliate, so he spread the word about this matter that he did not intend for anyone to know.

This could be considered a parent's competitive spirit, right?

"Even if he completed it through self-study, so what? Sasuke is a member of our junior high school tennis club. Even if the high school team is interested, it doesn't matter to them!"

Atobe snorted twice; he was determined not to let this grinning guy influence his emotions anymore.

Even if Sasuke's grades were good enough to allow him to skip to high school at any time, that would be Sasuke's excellence and would have nothing to do with the high school tennis club.

The members of their junior high school tennis club are not for anyone else to poach, not even the high school team from Hyotei!

"Match ended! Jiro Akutagawa and Renji Yanagi won, with a score of 7:5!"

Ryo Shishido's voice suddenly rang out, signaling the end of the ongoing doubles match, with Jiro Akutagawa and Renji Yanagi emerging victorious.

The result of the competition also made Yukimura, who was teasing Atobe, calm down. Now that it was almost noon, it was time to end the morning's activities.

After lunch, there was no further practice in the afternoon. Instead, we did some activities other than tennis. Then, in the evening, we saw all the Rikkai members off to their cars.

This joint training camp for the tennis clubs of the two schools was very fruitful, especially for Atobe and Shinobu.

However, the happiest person was Jiro Akutagawa. Having found his idol, he didn't forget to tell everyone during dinner that he had received a message from Bunta after he got home.

No one went home that night; they all stayed at the Atobe villa, working late into the night catching up on homework and tutoring.

Although their goal is to win the national championship, that doesn't stop them from continuing to do their homework and facing exams on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Chapter 57: Let's sympathize with Sanada, who suffered innocently.

"Regional Qualifiers..."

After taking an exam less than two weeks into the semester, Sasuke sat in the club activity office of Hyotei Tennis Club, looking at the information about the opening ceremony of the Tokyo regional preliminaries handed to him by Sakaki Taro, and flipping through the list of schools for this year.

There were only eight schools on the preliminary list, and apart from Hyotei, none of them were the ones that left an impression on Sasuke in the story.

But this wasn't the year of the story, and he wasn't sure if there were any dark horses in these schools.

Given the possibility of losing due to carelessness in the future, Sasuke looked at a list in his hand, shook his head, and changed a number on it.

"Does a competition like this really require at least three starters?"

Looking at the list, Sakaki Taro was slightly curious about the changes Sasuke would make in this regard.

"Although they are all relatively unknown schools, since it is a competition, we must have an absolute certainty of victory. I don't want to see Hyotei become a laughing stock because of a single mistake."

Sasuke didn't see anything wrong with changing the minimum number of participants in the preliminary rounds of the main draw.

Now that he's a member of Hyotei, he absolutely will not accept any form of defeat.

He also added a special requirement: if the doubles pair is a regular starter, then the number of regular starters should be increased.

"This regional qualifier is on the weekend, which conflicts with the time you previously scheduled. Do you want to reschedule with Ochi Tsukiko?"

Sakaki Taro didn't say anything more about the list.

He actually felt that it was a waste to put all of them on the regular team, but that wouldn't change Sasuke's mind on that point.

However, the day of the match happened to be a weekend, and he had forgotten to mention the preliminary rounds to Sasuke last weekend, which caused the time conflict that happened to coincide with the match.

"No need. This competition isn't serious enough to require me to participate. Atobe will be there to keep an eye on things. I'll wait until the Grand Tournament to participate."

Sasuke wasn't planning to play in this regional qualifier anyway, and it's even less likely that he'd suddenly ask Ochi Gekko to change the time just because of this.

Last weekend I had a training camp with Rikkai University, and then I spent a few days taking exams at school. In three more days it will be the weekend again, and I'll soon find out what that former department head wanted from him.

"Go and tell Atobe about the situation. Let Atobe arrange the subsequent list of participants. Just give me a backup once it's ready."

Having roughly understood Sasuke's thoughts, Sakaki Taro simply delegated authority, handing over the match roster for this regional preliminary tournament entirely to the tennis club.

As for whether Atobe will make the arrangement or Sasuke will decide, that's for the two of them to discuss.

"I understand. I'll take it to Atobe later. Uncle, the old man from the Sanada family has been pressing me a bit lately. What does he mean by that? Could he really be targeting me?"

Sasuke put aside the registration forms and rosters for the competition, looked up at Sakaki Taro, and wanted to ask him when this farce would finally end.

Parents, you really have gone too far with your competitive mentality!

"I've already postponed this matter for you. The tennis club is about to start competing, so you'll have even more things to do. I won't bother you for the time being."
