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

Hyotei won.

"Wasn't I amazing just now?"

Jiro returned with his racket, a rare look of smugness in his eyes.

He had a lot of fun in this game, and he didn't feel tired at all afterward. He was even in the mood to praise his teammates.

"Ci Lang performed exceptionally well. Our match is over. Now we just wait for all the other schools to finish their matches, then we'll record the final four and the next match date..."

Atobe beckoned them to get up and stretch, and after exchanging post-match greetings with Fudomine, they were free to do as they pleased.

Their games were always going very fast, but the other schools weren't doing so smoothly.

Take Seigaku for example. They were a top-four team in the nation last year, but now they still have to play a full five matches before they can get a result.

"Although major competitions can be used for training, is it really effective for them to practice by sealing themselves in like this?"

Atobe watched the Seigaku match from afar, genuinely unable to understand why Seigaku, with all their regular players on the court, could still play so poorly.

"Different growth processes, besides the goal of winning the championship, also require them to leave hope for their younger schoolmates, probably to show that they have grown step by step from weak to strong..."

Sasuke shook his head and left the area with Atobe.

Perhaps it's because they've always been on a high pedestal that they can't understand Seigaku's way of life.

Hyotei's tennis club has over two hundred members, and Rikkai's tennis club has even more, but Seigaku's...

Even though they made it to the national semifinals last year, the Seigaku tennis club only has a few dozen members, and the ones who are good enough to play are still the same few from the story.

"Doesn't Fuji know that only strength is the best way to attract talent?"

On his way back, Atobe was still complaining.

Although they are rivals, that does not prevent him from appreciating the strength of Fuji and Tezuka.

They are clearly outstanding talents capable of making their mark across the country and the world, but are held back for various reasons...

"Only when they are free from this burden of responsibility can they return to making their own choices. As the captain of Hyotei, it's best not to provoke them."

Sasuke shook his head, not wanting Atobe to dwell on the matter any further.

As the captain of the tennis club who has won two championships, everything Atobe says is seen as a boast by others.

so...

They should just focus on playing the game; a three-peat is still ahead.

As for Fuji Syusuke and Tezuka Kunimitsu...

On the road to victory, hard work doesn't guarantee a championship, but it certainly leads to personal growth.

Back in the rest area, most of the people had already returned and were waiting.

After a long wait, everyone was finally able to go home after the speech.

Looking at the list of the top four, only Hyotei and Fudomine have changed positions; the rest are exactly the same.

Sasuke isn't worried about whether other storylines are the same; he just needs to make sure Hyotei wins the championship.

Back home, Sasuke first went to the basement to finish his training. After dinner, he called Keith and Lin Xiu, then watched two hours of the latest tennis match recap before going to sleep.

The finals of the tournament will be held a week later. Sasuke spent the week at Hyotei training the regulars and occasionally had to supervise Kirihara Akaya's homework over the phone.

On the day of the semi-finals and finals of the tournament, Sasuke, unusually, took the school bus and arrived at the venue with the regulars of Hyotei.

"I'm still not participating today, but my uncle will be coming. Good luck to you guys!"

Sasuke held the roster of participants, but he still showed no interest in the semi-finals that morning.

Yamabuki, Coach Banta Mikiya, Lucky Sengoku, and the hot-tempered Akutsu...

The coach is supposedly quite good, but none of that has anything to do with Hyotei.

What they need to do is to completely crush their opponent, without giving them any chance to breathe.

Therefore, Sasuke arranged the order of today's preliminary rounds very directly.

Doubles 2, Yuushi Oshitari and Gakuto Mukahi.

Doubles 1, Ryo Shishido and Chotaro Ootori.

In singles, it's Keigo Atobe.

Although the two players who came after him didn't need to play, Sasuke still wrote down the names of Hiyoshi Wakaba and Akutagawa Jiro.

Inside the stadium, Banta Mikiya, sitting on the coach's bench, forced a smile, while Sengoku Kiyosumi wore a miserable expression, telling his teammates that his luck had failed him today.

"Uncle, I'll go home for dinner tonight. It's been so long since I've been back."

Sasuke leaned against the railing and suddenly started talking about something completely unrelated to the match.

"It has indeed been a long time."

Sakaki Taro sat on the coach's bench, separated from Sasuke by only a railing.

From the time Sasuke went abroad to study, although he frequently returned to Japan for more than a year, all his time after returning home revolved around tennis.

Not only have they not gone home, they haven't even eaten together in a long time.

Even Grandpa Sanada advised him during their last meeting that he should resolve any conflicts with his children as soon as possible.

It's impossible to explain clearly, and even if he says there's no contradiction, no one will believe him.

"I'll call home first and ask the housekeeper to tidy up my room..."

Sasuke took out his phone, turned around, and leaned against the railing to call the butler.

Although he knew that his room at his home over there was always a place he could go back to and stay in at any time.

"Oshitari, Mukahi, go!"

Hearing the sound of someone talking on the phone with the butler behind him, Sakaki Taro raised his hand to Yuushi Oshitari and Gakuto Mukahi, who were ready to go on stage, signaling them to go on stage.

He was in a good mood, and he believed that these teenagers wouldn't ruin it.

"Yue Ren, let's finish this quickly!"

After Shinobu stepped onto the field, he looked back at the father and son who appeared to be uncle and nephew, but were actually just father and son. He exchanged a glance with Gakuto and confirmed their strategy for the day.

"no problem!"

Mukahi Gakuto jumped up and down twice, very satisfied with Oshitari's suggestion.

As the second doubles match began, the two Hyotei players changed their previous mild-mannered demeanor. In terms of power, speed, and skills, they immediately suppressed their opponents, leaving them with no chance to fight back.

Less than fifteen minutes later, the two players who had won the first match returned.

"You did a good job. You can take a short break starting tomorrow. I'll give you a holiday."

Sasuke looked at the two who were showing off their achievements to him after returning, and thought about the recent training intensity. Perhaps he really could give the Hyotei Tennis Club a few more days off.

While competition results are important, their free time should not be restricted.

He himself also happened to have some things to take care of.

After studying for so long, he wasn't just doing it for a professional tennis club; it was also for some of the Sakaki family's businesses.

Although my uncle never asked me for help, since I've already learned so much, it would be a waste to let it go to waste.

"Shishido, Ootori, it's your turn."

Sakaki Taro looked at the doubles pair. After solving their service error problem, the pair's record was no worse than the other pair.

Chapter 115 Jin Akutsu's Provocation

"Yamabuki's Akutsujin?"

Sasuke watched the match for a while, then turned around and went for a walk.

As soon as he left the Hyotei rest area, he saw Akutsu Jin lying on the roadside grass, staring at him fiercely.

Regarding Akutsu Jin, Sasuke had previously considered taking him back to train him, believing that with his talent, he could definitely achieve results quickly.

But then he thought about it. Akutsu was indeed talented, but he didn't want to cause himself any trouble.

It wasn't until he met Kirihara Akaya that he developed an interest in seriously nurturing someone.

"Hyotei's brat..."

Akutsu Jin tilted his head and looked at Sasuke, his laughter growing even more maniacal.

He was initially unhappy about not being able to play, although he was also very irritable when he did play.

But once he's on the court, he can beat his opponent horribly with tennis balls, and that feeling makes him happy.

He couldn't go to the arena to teach Hyotei a lesson, and was lying here fuming when he happened to see a Hyotei regular player walking over.

"Since you're retaining the attack power of a beast, you'd better also retain the wariness of a beast. Not just anyone can become your prey. Someone like you isn't qualified to come out and provoke us!"

Sasuke glanced at it only once, then raised an eyebrow in disgust and left.

In his blood-red eyes, three tomoe slowly rotated, disappearing only after another blink.

Akutsu Jin, still standing in the same spot, had a blank look in his eyes, as if he were just a soulless shell left in time.

A little over a minute later, Akutsu Jin's limbs suddenly relaxed, and he lay limply on the grass, his eyes slowly regaining their dynamism.

He couldn't remember what had just happened, but whenever he tried to recall the figure of Hyotei, only an uncontrollable fear would rise from the bottom of his heart.

"Weaknesses exist..."

Sasuke continued walking in the park, his gaze sweeping back in the direction he had come from. He had already guessed the outcome, knowing that a mere genjutsu could leave Akutsu Jin with such psychological trauma.

Despite his ruthless behavior, the world is peaceful and stable, and even Akutsu Jin retains warmth and hope in his heart.

Finding his weaknesses can reduce a lot of trouble.

"Sasuke-senpai, it's been a long time. Has the Hyotei tournament ended?"

Sasuke was walking down the street when someone called out to him. It was Fuji Yuuta with a bright smile, and Mizuki Hajime walking in St. Rudolph.

"It has been a long time indeed. The Hyotei tournament is still ongoing, and it should be up to singles match three by now. I'm not playing today."

Sasuke and Fuji Yuuta weren't very familiar with each other, but every time they met, Fuji would always run over to greet him with a smile.
