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

At that time, Yukimura never imagined that after making someone else cry, he would suddenly want to take on a disciple.

"Hey, kid, you're doomed!"

A dozen minutes later, Kirihara Akaya walked into the tennis court carrying his racket.

He pointed his racket at Ryoma Echizen, who was already waiting for him, and arrogantly issued a provocative statement.

"You...you're still a long way off!"

Ryoma Echizen has a similar temperament; their eyes were already gleaming with tension even before the tennis match had begun.

"Genichiro, I'll trouble you to be the referee."

Sasuke smiled and shook his head, then walked to the rest area to wait for them to begin.

As for the referees, at this point, besides him, there were only Sanada and Yukimura, who had brought Kirihara Akaya with them.

"Sasuke thinks highly of that elementary school student?"

Yukimura had been doing some simple ball return drills and had just finished up and was coming out.

He sat down to the side, watching the two boys on the tennis court. He was very interested in the kid that Sasuke had brought along alone.

The fact that they specifically instructed that Akaya should fight this kid means that he must at least be highly talented and have a certain foundation.

His name is Echizen Ryoma.

Sasuke only said one sentence, and then continued watching the game.

In this practice match, Ryoma Echizen was completely outmatched, but he still wanted to see if his protagonist aura could turn the tide at this moment.

"Echizen Ryoma? Echizen...that Echizen?"

Yukimura Seiichi suddenly grasped the key point.

Echizen, that's quite a surname.

Echizen Nanjiro, a samurai from the East.

A king who was once recognized as an uncrowned king.

“I once encountered Ryoga Echizen, and his strength... If you were to fight Ryoga Echizen now, your ability to destroy your five senses would likely be devoured by him.”

Sasuke suddenly turned around and mentioned Ryoma's older brother, Echizen Ryoga, to Yukimura. Ryoga possessed the ability to absorb other people's balls.

Of course, as long as one's mental strength is high enough, the ability to devour can still be ignored.

Unfortunately, so far, Sasuke has not seen any young person whose mental strength can surpass that of Ryoga Echizen.

Aside from Sasuke himself...

"Devour? That's a very interesting ability."

Yukimura Seiichi was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was a form of mental suppression.

Just like his annihilation of the five senses, it was also accomplished through mental power.

"A similar concept, 'devouring,' means being able to absorb an opponent's tennis skills and use them for one's own benefit. The original user will lose this ability, and may even have to say goodbye to tennis due to insufficient psychological resilience."

Sasuke was also very curious, but what he encountered when he met Ryoga Echizen was a shadow clone.

Shadow clones are different from the original body; they cannot give the opponent a chance to successfully unleash special abilities. He was unsure whether he would simply disappear if he relaxed mentally and allowed the opponent to absorb the ball's power.

The disintegration and return of a shadow clone is a minor matter, but if it suddenly disappears into thin air, there will be no way to explain it in the future.

"What an interesting ability, it's a pity I can't try it..."

Yukimura Seiichi was very interested in that 'devouring' ability, but the consequences were truly too severe.

"If you encounter him in the future, don't even think about playing a practice match."

Sasuke was well aware of Yukimura's true nature beneath his outward appearance.

She appears gentle and mature on the surface, but in reality she loves to play around and has an exceptionally strong curiosity, which often makes Sanada angry.

The fact that Sanada now has a serious, middle-aged face is mostly thanks to Yukimura.

"I haven't even traveled the world yet, I won't take any risks..."

Yukimura Seiichi felt a little guilty, but he wasn't stupid; he knew it was dangerous and would naturally avoid it.

"Let's not talk about that guy who's nowhere to be found. What do you think of Echizen Ryoma?"

Instead of continuing to argue with Yukimura about Echizen Ryoga, Sasuke looked at Ryoma, who had already lost three consecutive matches, and started chatting with Yukimura about the little samurai in front of them.

"It's probably because he's never experienced setbacks before. Now that he's met Akaya, he's been beaten into self-doubt."

Yukimura Seiichi was curious and expectant about Echizen Ryoma.

But the current situation is too obvious. Kirihara Akaya only needs to use ordinary tennis techniques to completely overwhelm this little guy.

"He might be a little upset about losing, but he didn't doubt himself. Instead, he was thinking about how to get points from Akaya. Look into his eyes..."

Sasuke shook his head, gesturing for Yukimura to look closely.

"It's no use. Chi doesn't know how to let others win. You've spoiled him so much that he doesn't know what it means to go easy on someone."

Yukimura Seiichi could see it, of course, but so what?

If it were him or Sanada, they might offer some consideration for this little one's feelings.

Akaya Kirihara was originally a fool who only knew how to charge forward. Later, with Sasuke as his master, he was even less concerned about what other people thought.

Sanada's eyes would often widen in exasperation at Akaya's personality.

It's fortunate that Sasuke didn't teach a crash course in combat skills, otherwise no one would have been able to control him at all.

“There’s no need to hold back. I just want the future junior of Seigaku to understand the level of our junior high school tennis tournament. I don’t want him to think that what we do in junior tournaments is the general level of junior and high school tennis.”

Shaking his head, Sasuke explained that the reason he chose to have these two play was because he knew what Kirihara Akaya's tennis was like.

He knows best who his students are, so...

The future of Seigaku is going to be quite a show.

"Kid, how about that? You're convinced now!"

Kirihara Akaya won.

Arriving in front of Echizen Ryoma, Kirihara Akaya smiled smugly and arrogantly.

Why don't you participate in the youth competition?

Ryoma Echizen lost, and lost decisively, but now he wants to know something else.

If junior high school students are this strong, why were there no capable fighters in previous major competitions?

Chapter 107 The Price of Being Able to Live On

"Well... I didn't want them to say I was going to bully people. If I went, those guys would definitely make fun of me endlessly..."

Kirihara Akaya scratched his messy hair. He had wanted to sign up and try it out, but the club president said that it was no fun to bully people there.

So he came here for training with the minister.

"If those who are truly capable aren't participating, why even hold the competition?"

Ryoma still found it strange.

This kind of competition must be very important, otherwise the old man wouldn't have let him sign up, let alone urge him to participate.

"I don't know why, but the seniors all said it's pointless, and that it's better to spend that time playing practice matches with them."

Kirihara Akaya only knew that everyone else said so, but he himself didn't really understand, so his explanation left Echizen Ryoma looking bewildered.

Ryoma reluctantly gave up asking Kirihara Akaya and turned to look at Sasuke in the rest area.

"This can be considered a tacit understanding. The top four teams in the national tournament generally don't participate in this type of competition. It's just to leave an opportunity for ordinary tennis enthusiasts."

Under Ryoma's watchful gaze, Sasuke immediately made up a reason.

However, it can't be said that it's all fake, because none of the top four schools actually participated in this kind of competition.

"I'm not going tomorrow either..."

Ryoma Echizen was extremely frustrated. He already thought the competition was boring, and now it sounded like an award that nobody wanted.

"It's getting late, would you like the driver to take you home?"

Sasuke doesn't care whether Ryoma Echizen continues the match or not, since Ryoma's name has already spread throughout the game today.

Next, they should prepare for the upcoming national competition.

"No need, I'll go get a car."

The defeat was too crushing, and he also learned that the actual level of the youth tournament was so weak. Ryoma Echizen was in a very bad mood.

After leaving the tennis club, he went to the bus stop not far from the entrance and boarded the bus home.

"Master, is that little one a new student at Hyotei?"

Kirihara Akaya packed his things and walked over to Sasuke after leaving the club.

He only realized while taking a shower that he might have hit that kid too hard.

"No, his father has already prepared the paperwork for him to attend school. He will be a freshman at Seigaku in a few days. But Fuji and the others will not ignore his strength. You will meet him again in the Kanto Tournament and the National Tournament."

Sasuke reached out and ruffled Kirihara Akaya's curly hair.

Although they were only a year apart, after Kirihara Akaya awkwardly performed the apprenticeship ceremony, Sasuke really felt like he was going to become a master.

For the past six months, he has taught Kirihara Akane as much as possible anything that he could learn.

Occasionally, watching this kid misbehave, I feel a sense of helplessness, as if my disciple is too naughty.

Even though he was still very young, he inexplicably felt a sense of vicissitude after taking on apprentices.

Although if you add up the three worlds, the total time he has lived exceeds three digits.

But in those repetitive periods without memory, only his soul power increased; it had nothing to do with his mindset. He was still definitely a teenager...

"Seigaku... I don't want to play against Seigaku. I want to play against Atobe. Master, when will you let me play against Atobe-senpai...?"

Kirihara Akaya immediately wilted at the thought of the practice match he had played against Seigaku.

However, he wasn't someone who would stay down for long. When he saw Sanada next to him, he once again thought about his goal of defeating the three giants of Rikkai University.
