Yukimura Seiichi went up to the second floor and found Fuji Syusuke leaning against the wall in a daze.
"Yukimura, it's starting again in half a month. Sasuke's returning to the country at this time, he really doesn't intend to give us a chance..."
Fuji Syusuke opened his eyes, looking somewhat confused.
The gap was too large; he couldn't think of any way to defeat Hyotei after Sasuke's return.
"Even when he was studying abroad, he didn't neglect the training at Hyotei. With his average skill level being so high that he's practically untouchable, how many people do you think could easily handle him?"
Yukimura chuckled softly, looking down; he genuinely didn't think there was anything to worry about.
Having won the runner-up title for two consecutive years, he now feels no pressure at all.
This year, Rikkai University just wants to focus on playing tennis.
Although they lost to Hyotei for two consecutive years, they were still just Hyotei; other schools were still powerless against Rikkai.
"Are you talking about Hyotei, or Rikkai...?"
Fuji Syusuke was so angry at these shameless words that he laughed.
He knew perfectly well what the situation was between Rikkai and Hyotei; they had at least one or two joint training camps a month to develop their selflessness, practice their domains, and even share their training schedules.
The only difference is that Sasuke occasionally returns to Japan for special training sessions.
However, Yukimura and Sanada will inevitably have to visit Atobe while Sasuke is back in Japan.
In other words, the special training these two received was the same as that of Atobe and the others.
"What, are you regretting it now?"
Yukimura Seiichi smiled gently.
They do indeed often skip training sessions at Rikkai University, but what does it matter?
After last year's national tournament, he invited Fuji and Tezuka to the special training session, but they chose not to go.
"No regrets. Seigaku is a team. If we went, it would be a blow to the others. It's different..."
Fuji Syusuke shook his head, and the habitual smile disappeared from his face.
He has no regrets, because what Seigaku needs is overall improvement, and to keep the regulars looking forward to victory.
The real problem is losing the expectation of winning the championship.
"Indeed, they're different..."
Yukimura's smile faded, and he nodded in agreement with Fuji's statement.
Different choices, different people.
For Rikkai's regulars, training with Hyotei is perfectly normal, and they don't see anything wrong with winning or losing.
When everyone has any tennis-related problems, they create a group chat to offer advice and suggestions. Those with short tempers will even go and act as sparring partners after club activities.
Before last year's competition, they played two practice matches against Seigaku, but the results left Rikkai's regular players very dissatisfied.
It's not just a matter of strength versus weakness; more importantly, some members of Seigaku lose in a very inexplicable way.
They concealed their true strength during the match, hiding all their "secret techniques" to prevent the other side from finding out beforehand...
I only played those two matches, and then I never received any more invitations for practice matches.
"I have no choice. There are too few talented people in Seigaku. If we had the same data transparency as you, we would really be doomed."
Fuji Syusuke shook his head. He knew that his friendship with Yukimura was growing further and further apart, but as the head of Seigaku, he had to think about the whole group.
When he took over as captain, he told Tezuka that Seigaku would definitely become stronger and stronger under his leadership.
Last year they made it all the way to the top four in the country, and this year their goal is the championship!
For the championship...
"Whatever you want, don't overwork yourself. Besides being the captain of Seigaku, you're still Fuji Syusuke."
Yukimura Seiichi didn't intend to offer any advice; if he could, things wouldn't have come to this.
As a friend, even though they've drifted apart, he still hopes Fuji can relax and think carefully about what his heart truly desired when he awakened.
We carry too much on our shoulders, and some of the things we once held dear may have been forgotten.
"Minister, the plane has arrived, Master is back!"
At the bottom of the stairs, Kirihara Akaya waved to Yukimura.
At first, Akaya Kirihara was nervous about being addressed as "Master," but now he's become incredibly familiar with it.
"Let's go."
Yukimura Seiichi smiled gently at Kirihara Akaya, then glanced back at Fuji Syusuke before walking down the stairs.
The main guest has arrived at tonight's welcome party. Hopefully, it won't cause too much chaos.
That guy is always ready to surprise or scare you.
"Yes, I'm still Fuji Syusuke, but right now, I can only be Fuji Syusuke of the Seigaku Tennis Club..."
Fuji watched the retreating figure walk away, sighed softly about his own situation, gave a helpless bitter smile, and then followed after him.
He wants the championship, but he also doesn't want to lose his friends...
"Sasuke-senpai, welcome back!"
"Master, welcome back!"
Sasuke, who had just stepped off the helicopter, was warmly welcomed by several junior students.
Ootori Chotaro, Hiyoshi Waka, Kabaji Takahiro, and Kirihara Akaya who pounced directly on him.
"I'm back, thank you!"
Sasuke reached out and grabbed Kirihara Akaya by the back of his collar, looking at the familiar faces around him with a gentle smile.
Ignoring the fact that Kirihara Akaya was still being carried in his hand, he actually looked quite like a refined and elegant young nobleman.
But Akaya Kirihara's presence was extremely strong...
"Master, let me go! Let me go! I'm going to beat you up!"
Kirihara Akaya struggled to break free, while still yelling that he wanted to defeat Sasuke.
The atmosphere just now didn't even last two seconds before this guy completely ruined it.
"A miscalculation; I forgot this guy was here too..."
Yuushi Oshitari stepped out of the helicopter, looked at Akaya Kirihara who had ruined the plan, and rubbed his curly kelp head a couple of times to vent his anger.
"Aaaaaah, you bastard Oshitari, don't touch my hair, I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"
Akaya Kirihara, who was being patted on the head, instantly bristled, his eyes turning red as he waited for Oshitari. However, because his collar was still being pulled, he could only stare blankly without being able to touch the person.
"I'll play tennis with you later, so stop fooling around now."
Sasuke looked at Oshitari laughing smugly beside him, shook his head and gave him a disdainful look.
He released his fingers from Kirihara Akaya's collar and then placed his hands directly on top of his head.
Kirihara Akaya, a boy with red eyes and white hair who transforms into a demon, was ranked number one in singles alongside Sasuke in last year's national tournament.
Sasuke found the red-eyed boy with his hair sticking up somewhat cute, so he unusually used Genjutsu Tennis.
Within the illusion, Kirihara Akaya was having a great time playing tennis, which pleased Sasuke, leading Sasuke to consider teaching him a disciple.
Teach him to play tennis, and teach him to control himself after becoming demonized.
Seamless, Domain, Gemini, Light Strike Ball...
Although not yet fully successful, Kirihara Akaya's tennis is the one Sasuke has taught most seriously and painstakingly in recent years.
After all, he's an apprentice; once you accept him, you have to take responsibility.
Chapter 102 Sasuke Plans to Become a Boss
"Sasuke-senpai, everyone has prepared a performance, senpai, come over here..."
Feng Changtaro checked the time; it was almost time to begin.
"Let's go, thank you for your hard work."
Sasuke, led by Chotaro, walked to the audience seats, sat down in the spot prepared for him, and waited to see what surprises they had prepared for today's welcome party.
"These are snacks that Bunta, Jiro, and Kikumaru Eiji made together. Sasuke, have a taste first. We still have some activities to attend, so dinner will be at least two hours away."
Yukimura Seiichi brought over the food and placed it on the table in front of Sasuke, then sat down next to him.
He didn't have anything to do today, so he just stayed here and watched their performance.
"How are you feeling now? Pay attention to your diet during the recovery period, and don't eat anything you shouldn't eat."
Sasuke picked up a snack and started eating it, then blocked Yukimura's hand as he reached for it.
This guy's condition doesn't allow him to touch foods with too much sugar.
"He's already recovered... so there are still two months of diet control and rehabilitation training left..."
Yukimura Seiichi wanted to say that he was really alright now, but when Sasuke's eyes glowed red, he backed down and told the truth.
After last year's national tournament, Sasuke suddenly asked him if he was feeling unwell.
He didn't want anyone to know at the time, so he said it was nothing. Then he was stared at by red eyes, and then all his secrets were exposed.
The day after that, he received a message from an American hospital. All the procedures were quickly completed, and before he could even react, he was packed up and sent over.
Because it was discovered and treated relatively early, the recovery period wasn't too difficult; however, dietary restrictions still need to be temporarily implemented.
Everyone had discussed that matter privately, and they strongly suspected that Sasuke's eyes had a health monitoring function.
"Good health is the foundation of everything, not to mention you're thinking of playing professionally for a few years..."
Sasuke shook his head. Overall, he felt pretty good about Yukimura Seiichi's situation, which was completely different from the original storyline.
Without the goal of Rikkai's three-peat, Yukimura and Sanada's tennis was more free, and their potential was much greater than in the original storyline.
However, Fuji Syusuke, who awakened his potential early during his first year of national competition, became obsessed with winning the championship and didn't have the chance to do it before the end of the national tournament.
"Getting into a professional tournament isn't easy. I haven't participated in any world-class events yet, so getting an invitation from a professional tournament..."
