Looking at Sasuke, who had hardly changed, Sakaki Taro didn't seem to care at all about his son causing a ruckus at the U17 training camp.
The previous phone call wasn't very clear, but now that the person is back safe and sound, we can talk about other things later.
His child has always been very careful about his diet, and now that he has missed lunch, he doesn't know if he's starving.
"Yes, thank you, Uncle!"
Sasuke obediently went to the rest area next door, picked up a nutritious bento box that had been kept warm, and dutifully filled his stomach first.
"I heard that those guys wanted to threaten you and thought the Hyotei tennis club was an easy target?"
Keigo Atobe didn't play today; he just watched the game from the sidelines.
His expression has been grim ever since he received that phone call.
Just as Sasuke finished eating, he dropped a bombshell that stunned the tennis club's regulars.
"I guess they were scared by me, so they temporarily lost their senses. They all regained their senses later. We are all normal people, and it's impossible for us to actually do something so obviously unrealistic."
Sasuke didn't ask Atobe how he knew, but answered his question to reassure him that he didn't need to worry about it anymore.
On his way back, he thought about it carefully. Besides the possibility that some people had a momentary lapse of judgment, there was another possibility.
The coaches, angry because things didn't go as planned, just vented their frustration by saying some harsh words in private.
Nobody is truly stupid. For a school like Hyotei, where almost everyone is wealthy, if a club is specifically targeted, it's definitely not a responsibility that someone in charge of that area can bear.
Although he could think of these things, that didn't stop Sasuke from teaching some people a lesson when he was angry.
"Hopefully they still have some brains..."
Atobe lowered his head and gave a cold laugh. When he raised his head again, he no longer showed any anger, but everyone knew that this matter would not be so easily resolved.
Especially that senior who betrayed Sasuke's information, he needs to have a serious talk with someone after today's match.
"How did the game go today? Did you manage to drop any points?"
Sasuke didn't say anything more about U17. There were many people around, and it wouldn't be appropriate to say too much.
Back to the match, Sasuke hadn't seen their previous matches today, so he could only listen to the results.
"So far, the performance has been quite impressive."
Speaking of the competition, Atobe's eyes gleamed with a hint of pride as he handed Sasuke the scorebook from the previous matches.
They won the first game of the morning 5-0 without much exertion, giving them more rest time for the next game.
The second match wasn't required to go the full distance, so they easily won 3-0.
Now, in the third match, with doubles 2 and doubles 1 winning decisively, if Higashiyama Fei wins next, they can wait for the fourth match.
There are only eight schools in their region, so the pace is set to determine the regional qualifier champion in just one day.
"The roster for the next match is the full starting lineup: Oshitari and Mukahi in doubles number two, Jiro and Taki in doubles number one, Higashiyama in singles number three, Shishido in singles number two, and I'm in singles number one, but I believe they'll finish the match early!"
Atobe showed Sasuke the final match roster.
The list consists entirely of regular starters, with no intention of giving the opponents any chance whatsoever.
"Indeed, if you need to play to win, that's not a very glamorous thing."
Sasuke handed the list back to Atobe, his gaze sweeping over the several regulars who were watching him expectantly.
In the regional qualifiers, they faced schools that were just trying to get a spot, some of whose regular players were still beginners...
It's not entirely impossible for a beginner to play tennis well in this world. For example, Jin Akutsu was able to reach the world stage after only six months of playing tennis, relying solely on his physical abilities.
But if you add up all the storylines in this world, Akutsu Jin only has one.
Thinking about Akutsu Jin's bug-like physical abilities, Sasuke suddenly felt that he could go and meet him when he had time.
It seems that aside from a slight impoliteness issue when communicating with people, that guy is truly an all-rounder in every other aspect, not just sports, but also academically, where he gets straight A's...
"Sasuke, don't use the word 'spectacular' so casually. Having Atobe alone is terrifying enough..."
Shinobu sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead. He absolutely did not want to see Hyotei Tennis Club turn into a 'glamorous' headquarters.
"Shinobu, you have a problem with me, huh?"
Atobe turned to stare at Oshitari, his eyes narrowed, clearly conveying a threat.
Since Shinobu dared to say that Atobe's usual words were terrifying, he immediately became someone that the Hyotei team avoided, because they didn't want to become Shinobu's training partner in doubles.
"Senior Dongshan has already won the game, it's your turn to go on stage."
Seeing that the atmosphere had returned to its previous liveliness, Sasuke waved to Atobe and his men to come onto the field after Higashiyama Fei's victory, and they shook hands after the match.
After the match, they took a break.
"Senior Higashiyama, there's a party at the tennis club's regular season games tonight. You shouldn't have any unnecessary trouble, right?"
Sasuke ate the fruit that the other members had brought him, glanced at Higashiyama Hiroshi who was sitting uneasily to the side, and gave a very unfriendly smirk.
The official gathering tonight was scheduled a long time ago, but this senior has never participated in such activities.
People used to think it was normal, but today, things are different.
It's absolutely impossible for him not to go.
"I was originally planning to talk to the younger students, but let's talk tonight. I won't run away this time."
Higashiyama Fei raised his hand and brushed aside the hair that barely covered his eyes. He actually already knew that he would be caught before Sasuke returned.
So he had already prepared himself mentally, and just hoped that he could get home safely tonight. After all, the things he had done meant that getting beaten up wasn't an unexpected outcome.
"Senior Higashiyama, when it's your turn, you have to do your best. After all, it's your last time playing as a Hyotei player."
Mukahi and Shinobu were playing doubles. When the match started, Mukahi Gakuto came to the rest area with his racket in hand and whispered something in Higashiyama Hiroshi's ear.
During those two missing breaks, Atobe made it very clear to them that the reason U17 was causing trouble for Sasuke was because of this senior from Higashiyama.
Although no one received any messages, everyone could guess that the information handed over was not from just one person.
So, all the information about their starting players was sold by this bastard!
Chapter 65 Since it's a tennis matter, let's settle it on the tennis court.
Hyotei wins, final score 3-0!
There's still a long time until sunset, but the winner of the regional qualifiers has already been decided.
Hyotei decisively won the regional qualifiers, but they all knew that this was just the beginning.
Next up are the Tokyo Grand Tournament, the Kanto Grand Tournament, and finally the National Grand Tournament.
"I'm off. I've already booked a place. I have time. I'll go home and change my clothes first."
Atobe Keigo packed up his tennis bag, handed it to Taki Oginosuke, and then led the Hyotei group away from the sports park.
"Uncle, let's go too."
Sasuke needs to go home first.
On the way back, he needed to explain the situation to Sakaki Taro in detail.
"Don't worry, our family isn't one to be bullied."
On the way home, Sakaki Taro drove, looking at Sasuke with a somewhat serious expression, worried that the kid might have some misunderstanding about his family's strength.
While they may not rank among the top in the country, they are definitely not a threat that an U17 tennis training camp can pose.
"I'm not worried about that, I've just found myself a bit unstable, getting angry too easily, and I'm wondering if I should learn something else..."
Sasuke was quite confident in the threats he made, after all, his truly ferocious mental strength and family background were enough to keep those people on their toes.
But what he needs to consider now is his own condition.
Although it's impossible for anyone to be 100% calm, he still wanted to try to control himself.
Calmness is a practice he currently needs in addition to chakra.
"Arts? Chess?"
Taro Sakaki offered two suggestions.
"Actually, music is also a good choice, Uncle. What do you think?"
Sasuke deliberately ignored the two suggestions and proposed a new direction for learning that almost made Sakaki Taro hit the brakes.
"You can learn anytime if you're interested, but you can't touch the piano at home."
After a moment of silence, Sakaki Taro made one last request to Sasuke.
He can learn to play the piano, but the piano he keeps at home must never be damaged; it's his treasure.
"Then I'll trouble you to buy a new one, Uncle. I'll keep it with me; it definitely won't bother you."
Sasuke was well aware of his own destructive potential, so he never even considered taking a liking to Sakaki Taro's precious piano.
but...
The piano is for playing; he shouldn't do anything destructive.
.........
"Sasuke, you're here. What happened? Are you hurt...?"
When Akutagawa Jiro saw Sasuke arrive, he pulled him inside and began asking him what had happened.
This morning I was just going to meet that senior student, how did it turn into being targeted by the U17 training camp?
"No problem, we just played two matches against them and took the opportunity to dismantle the two main gates of the U17 team."
Sasuke looked at Jiro, whose eyes were full of worry, pressed him into a chair, and then went to sit down on the other side. He briefly explained the situation to the people who had already arrived.
For him, there really wasn't any problem; the only thing that bothered him was being betrayed and schemed against.
After chatting for almost half an hour, there was a knock on the door of their private room.
"Senior Dongshan is taking forever to arrive. Did he go ahead to prepare materials?"
Mukahi Gakuto glared at Higashiyama Hiroshi as he entered, but then realized that Higashiyama-senpai was carrying a pile of documents.
"I apologize for reporting Sasuke's information. Collecting information on the regular tennis players from various schools is my job. This part is a personal document I kept, and it's the only compensation I can offer."
Higashiyama Fei was indeed well-prepared; these dozens of documents were collected over the past year.
