Brain storage...
Late July.
The weather was scorching, and the Kanto Tournament was drawing to a close.
Neon, Tokyo.
Inside Seigaku's tennis club.
"Matsuoka Rin, what have you done!"
"Even if Takei made a mistake in his match, it's no reason for you to lay hands on an upperclassman! Besides, Takei is injured now, so why should he apologize to Tezuka?"
"Moreover, Tezuka using his non-dominant hand to compete against an upperclassman already showed a lack of respect for him. This time, between the two of them, it's just a case of six of one, half a dozen of the other."
"If you ask me, you're the one who should apologize to Takei. He is your upperclassman, after all!"
One after another, angry voices erupted on the silent Court.
At the center of the argument, several figures stood prominently.
The confrontation was clearly between three people.
No, it should be said that two of them were confronting the other one.
A middle-aged woman with a high ponytail, dressed in a pink tracksuit, was speaking, her face full of anger.
A young man with short, dark green hair also wore a look of disapproval, his eyes, still somewhat naive, fixed on the young man opposite him.
That young man had short, wine-red hair, a remarkably handsome, even beautiful face, and a somewhat mischievous youthful aura that added a touch of fatal attraction to him.
But at this moment, the expression on his face was not very pleasant.
He was a Transmigrator who had crossed into the Prince of Tennis world.
He was still called Rin, his full name Matsuoka Rin, a rather special name that also surprised him.
And all of this had been twelve years ago.
Although it wasn't until last year that he belatedly realized he had come to the Prince of Tennis world.
A month and a half ago, Matsuoka Rin joined Seigaku's tennis club.
After joining Seigaku, Matsuoka Rin tried to see if he could transform Seigaku, to bring about reforms.
Thus, allowing the first-year freshmen to participate in the upcoming National Tournament.
After more than a month.
Matsuoka Rin finally convinced Ryuzaki Sumire, the coach, to give all first-year freshmen a chance.
Despite this, Ryuzaki Sumire remained displeased.
Because this was clearly questioning her coaching philosophy for the entire tennis club and undermining her authority within the club.
But in this month, Matsuoka Rin had already established absolute prestige among the first-year freshmen, with many of them following his lead.
Moreover, Matsuoka Rin's strength was extremely powerful, making him the top first-year freshman and exceptionally promoted to a regular player a month ago.
And because of this, Seigaku had also secured a spot in the National Tournament.
Of course, although they secured a spot to participate in the National Tournament, their ranking was not high; they barely squeezed into the National Tournament, with a very low chance of winning the championship.
But even so, Ryuzaki Sumire was still a little elated.
Because Seigaku had not achieved such results for many years, or rather, had never done so.
And precisely because of this, Matsuoka Rin's actions this time made her even more furious. Injuring an upperclassman, then who would participate in the National Tournament? These first-years?
As for Takei making the first move, Ryuzaki Sumire saw it, but she also saw that Tezuka suddenly switched his dominant hand, which caused Takei to become enraged and do something irrational in his anger.
"Rin, just apologize to Takei. This matter... sigh, although Takei also made a mistake, Tezuka's actions at the time were indeed a bit provocative."
Yuta Yamato broke the silence. While acknowledging Takei's mistake, he still dragged Tezuka Kunimitsu into it.
And he was also on the side of Ryuzaki Sumire and Takei Kenji.
...
The scene was dead silent.
No one expected such a turn of events.
Especially Tezuka Kunimitsu at this moment.
He recalled the feeling of powerlessness when facing that sudden racket strike... If Matsuoka Rin hadn't intervened in time, he would definitely have been injured!
In fact, Tezuka Kunimitsu had a premonition that perhaps, if Matsuoka Rin hadn't been there, he would have suffered a lifelong regretful injury, which might even greatly affect his tennis career.
"This matter has nothing to do with Rin..."
Tezuka Kunimitsu frowned slightly, preparing to speak.
The others were also ready to speak.
They all didn't understand. If Matsuoka Rin hadn't stopped this incident in time, it would definitely have been more serious than it was now. But why were the captain and the coach both on Takei Kenji's side?
"No need to say anything."
But Matsuoka Rin waved his hand, looking at Ryuzaki Sumire and Yuta Yamato with some disappointment.
This time, he knew Seigaku's shortcomings, yet he still joined Seigaku.
On one hand, he was entrusted by someone.
On the other hand, he also felt sorry for Seigaku. A tennis club that once had a legend should not be stained with such a blemish.
But now, he finally realized.
It was simply impossible to save Seigaku.
"I will not apologize. I haven't done anything wrong."
Matsuoka Rin said slowly, looking at Ryuzaki Sumire and Yuta Yamato with some disappointment: "Also, you keep saying that Tezuka disrespects his upperclassmen, but... until now, haven't you realized that Tezuka's dominant hand is actually his left hand?"
One a captain, one a coach.
They should be the ones most concerned about the growth of their club members, yet not a single person discovered that Tezuka Kunimitsu's dominant hand was originally his left hand?
How ironic!
Quite damaging, and quite insulting too.
Upon hearing this.
Tezuka Kunimitsu's eyelids trembled. He didn't expect that Matsuoka Rin had noticed.
Oishi Shuichiro and the others were all somewhat astonished.
A moment later, thoughtful expressions appeared on their faces.
Clearly, they had also noticed something!
"No wonder..."
A young man with flaxen hair chuckled. His name was Fuji Syusuke. At this moment, he opened a pair of icy blue eyes and cast a light glance at Yuta Yamato and Ryuzaki Sumire.
It was also very ironic.
In an instant.
Yuta Yamato and Ryuzaki Sumire were both stunned.
Tezuka Kunimitsu's dominant hand was his left hand?
For a moment, both of them felt annoyed; they really had never discovered it!
"But even so, it's also because he himself didn't say anything."
Ryuzaki Sumire frowned: "Such important information, Tezuka should have reported it."
"Coach... Tezuka's club application already stated it."
Oishi Shuichiro said softly, somewhat timidly: "I saw it..."
Immediately, the atmosphere became even more awkward.
"Coach, stop finding fault with Tezuka. This matter is inherently Takei's fault. Now, I only ask you one thing: should Takei apologize to Tezuka, and also, do you and Captain Yamato need to apologize to Tezuka for misunderstanding him?"
Matsuoka Rin frowned.
Regardless of what the original timeline was, in this timeline, one of the reasons Tezuka Kunimitsu was attacked by Takei Kenji was also because he proposed letting first-years participate in the inter-school ranking matches and gain regular player qualifications.
Apologize?
"Matsuoka Rin!! Don't go too far. If this continues, do you believe I'll expel you from Seigaku!"
Ryuzaki Sumire's face was extremely ugly. Even if she made a mistake, did Matsuoka Rin have to embarrass her in front of everyone?!
Make her apologize to Tezuka Kunimitsu?
And in front of everyone!
Impossible!
But, almost as soon as these words fell.
Ryuzaki Sumire's expression instantly changed drastically.
"Coach!!"
Yuta Yamato's expression also became stern.
But, before they could react further.
"Alright."
Matsuoka Rin looked at Ryuzaki Sumire and Yuta Yamato seriously, his smile completely gone: "Perfect, I can't stay in Seigaku any longer either!"
