He wanted Atobe to personally experience Tezuka's tennis, whether it was the Zero-Shiki serve, the Tezuka Zone, or even the limits of Muga and the ultimate refinement.

Once Atobe recognizes Tezuka's strength and figures out a way to counter it, he can then imitate Tezuka and act as Atobe's sparring partner.

"If you ask me, Sasuke's straight shot is the hardest to break. You know where it will land from the beginning, but you still can't catch up with it or stop it. That's true despair."

Yukimura looked at Sasuke and spoke about Sasuke's strength in front of Seigaku.

Everyone knows Sasuke is very strong, but none of the members of Seigaku have ever witnessed it.

"Is Sasuke the vice-captain of Hyotei?"

Suddenly, Yamato Yuta asked a question from the side.

He was probably just curious why, in Hyotei, a place supposedly where strength is everything, someone considered the strongest wasn't the captain.

But the fact that he brought up this topic at this time inevitably makes people think of Tezuka's position in Seigaku.

"Hyotei doesn't have a vice-captain, nor does it need one. Sasuke is a regular player and coach at Hyotei, a status recognized by over a hundred members of the Hyotei tennis club."

Atobe raised his head proudly, and he was happier than anyone else when he spoke of Sasuke's status being more important than his own in the tennis club.

Moreover, he is willing to do more publicity to prevent certain people from trying to poach his employees.

As for the deputy minister...

Hyotei doesn't need those meaningless positions!

Chapter 79 Fuji Syusuke Awakens Ahead of Schedule

"Although Sasuke is a regular player for Hyotei, we at Rikkai have also received his guidance. If Sasuke is willing, he can come to Rikkai anytime. Our tennis club members will definitely obey..."

Yukimura Seiichi smiled and extended the invitation once again, and then naturally received glares from all the regular players of the Hyotei tennis club.

Incidentally, there was also the speechless, gazing-at-the-sky state of the Rikkai University tennis club members.

Genichiro Sanada, in particular, was now awkwardly looking down at his racket, even thinking that it would be a wonderful thing if someone drew his name to play in the next match.

At least we don't have to listen to Yukimura repeat the same invitation several times every time we meet, but it never actually works.

"Hey, can't you get something new...?"

Atobe's eyebrows twitched twice, and he angrily pointed his racket at Yukimura. He really wanted to slap this guy who always knew how to make people angry.

Moreover, he had heard the same words more than ten times. Was Yukimura's way of inviting people already like a broken record?

"Replacing it with a new one won't make a difference, so why bother?"

Yukimura glared back at him without any politeness.

Then, a single sentence made everyone from Hyotei and Rikkai laugh.

Even knowing it's useless, I still stubbornly bring it up several times every time we meet...

Coupled with his "I know everything, but I'm just playing around" expression, even Sasuke's face broke into a smile.

"Actually, if Sasuke is willing, Seigaku would be very happy to welcome him, right, Tezuka?"

Fuji Syusuke won a match and came back here to rest, but he also joined the 'game' of recruiting people.

While Yukimura could dismiss Rikkai University's invitation as a joke, Fuji Syusuke's words wiped the smiles off everyone's faces.

"Fuji, we don't have the final say on who gets invited."

Tezuka sensed the change in atmosphere and placed his hand on Fuji Syusuke's shoulder, telling him to stop talking.

Yamato Yuta, the department head, was there; it was someone else besides the department head who extended such an invitation...

This is no longer a joke, it's just a joke.

"What a pity. Let's wait until we can really have the final say before extending an invitation to Sasuke. We've definitely left behind a lot of trouble..."

Fuji Syusuke opened his eyes, then squinted them again the next moment.

From beginning to end, he wanted Tezuka to become the captain directly, and even wanted to remove the coach.

What a pity...

I should have stuck to my own opinion back then. Now I've lost completely to Hyotei and Rikkai. It's so frustrating!

What others can do, they can do too, and they should do it even better!

"Next academic year, you'll always have a say, but with your coach around, Seigaku doesn't seem to pose much of a threat..."

I heard that your school's coach, who is known as Samurai Nanjiro, actually failed to make it to the national championships during his school days.

It's truly intriguing; how many people must have worked together to hinder him, making it impossible even for the samurai Nanjiro to succeed...?

Yukimura Seiichi's sharp tongue, like his strength, is at a level that inspires awe.

Although everyone knows that a competition cannot be won by one person alone, his expression and words made it seem like the coach was to blame for everything.

After all, that coach really didn't produce any results for the school team, except for Echizen Nanjiro, whose talent was legendary.

But Echizen Nanjiro was incredibly talented at tennis from a young age; such a prodigy wouldn't have faltered with any coach...

"Yukimura, there's something I'd like to ask you..."

Fuji Syusuke's smile vanished.

Although he was still squinting, a gloomy aura surrounded him as he walked to Yukimura's side and extended his hand.

"Sasuke, come along too. There's nothing interesting for you to watch in this match."

Yukimura did not leave with Fuji alone, but instead invited Sasuke as well.

"Let's go."

Sasuke stood up and told the others to continue drawing lots and playing their matches there. He then left with the two men.

The three arrived at the Atobe family's garden, had a servant bring them drinks, and sat down in silence.

After a long while, Fuji Syusuke seemed to have figured it out, and then drank his beverage and looked at the two people beside him.

"I want to change Seigaku. Whether it was a few months ago or now, I want to get rid of those outdated rules!"

Fuji Syusuke's eyes were bright, and his smile was gone. He opened his eyes and exuded a sharp aura.

“It’s a good idea, but you’re putting your hopes on Tezuka. That won’t work. He’s too rule-abiding.”

Sasuke looked into Fuji's eyes and knew that his competitive spirit had been unintentionally awakened.

Fuji Syusuke has always stood behind Tezuka.

In the story, Tezuka's strength did not improve because of his injury, and he only began to grow in the national tournament in his third year.

If Niou Masaharu's later development was like a character taking off with a cheat code, then Fuji Syusuke's rise was like a character suddenly taking off after awakening.

Both of them are the type that, once they take off, can't stop.

Although it's still unclear which part went wrong, Sasuke is certain that Fuji Syusuke has awakened prematurely.

“I know Tezuka has his own convictions, but I want to take a different path. If he can't stand in that position, so can I!”

Fuji Syusuke still hoped that Tezuka could stand at the front, but he knew very well that this time he might have to go himself.

"How can we help you?"

Yukimura was very interested in this change, and he wanted to see what would happen if Tezuka remained in the vice-captain's position, while Fuji Syusuke, who had always followed behind, took the lead...

Although Sanada lost because of his lack of skill, Yukimura was more than willing to help him since he could see Tezuka's situation getting interesting.

"I need some management methods for the tennis department, as well as some tennis training. In the short term, I need an absolutely strong sparring partner."

Fuji Syusuke really wasn't going to hold back.

Not only did he need Yukimura to help him prepare the tennis club management system, but he also set his sights on Sasuke's special training.

If he wants to take over the Seigaku tennis club, the first thing he needs to do is to crush everyone else in terms of skill.

As for Tezuka...

He doesn't necessarily need to win, but he absolutely cannot lose!

"You're making us train an opponent, but... isn't that interesting, Sasuke?"

Yukimura chuckled softly, then looked up at Sasuke.

He was very interested in this matter, and he believed that Sasuke would be interested as well.

That makes it even more interesting.

In the future, the tennis clubs of the three schools they represent will surely make the Kanto Tournament and the National Tournament even more exciting.

"Sure, you can go to my family's tennis court to practice after school. I'll practice with you when I get home after I'm done with my work."

Sasuke was already somewhat addicted to changing the plot, and now that he had seen the changes in Fuji Syusuke, he naturally wouldn't let this good opportunity pass him by.

As for whether training Fuji Syusuke will affect Hyotei...

Even if Fuji Syusuke grows up, he still can't beat Rikkai. Except for the future storyline, Rikkai is the only one who can rival Hyotei.

Just like how Echizen Nanjiro couldn't lead Seigaku back then, before everyone else had grown up, relying solely on Tezuka and Fuji...

Even if Fuji becomes as strong as Tezuka, it will still be very difficult for him to make it into the national top four.

Moreover, Sasuke had originally planned to cultivate this generation so that they could go to U17 and slap certain people in the face in the future. This was an opportunity that came knocking on his door, so he didn't even need to actively seek it out.

Chapter 80 The Demon God Isn't Human After All...

"The match between Atobe and Tezuka begins! Tezuka serves!"

After lunch and a short rest, the match between Atobe and his opponent began, with Yuushi Oshitari sitting in the referee's seat.

"Tezuka Kunimitsu, I've heard your serve is unbreakable. Now let me see it for myself!"

Keigo Atobe gripped his racket tightly, staring at Kunimitsu Tezuka across from him, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Everyone is saying that this guy is very strong. Even Sasuke told him that this time he should take a good look at Tezuka's strength.

He's clearly very strong, but no one thinks he'll win, which makes Atobe feel extremely frustrated.

"..."

Tezuka Kunimitsu glanced at Atobe. He certainly didn't dare to underestimate this opponent who always scored 0 points against Sanada.
