Seigaku's Scandal, Part 2

Yamato Yudai, however, had a different opinion: "Coach, Hyotei's captain, Kannagi Shinichi, holds the title of the strongest in the nation. With him there, we absolutely cannot underestimate Hyotei this year. Read on Google Search."

"Although Hyotei has Kannagi Shinichi, he's only one person after all. Yamato, the national tennis tournament is a team event. Hyotei's first-years becoming regulars is actually Seigaku's best chance to win the metropolitan tournament this time."

Ryuzaki Sumire didn't think highly of Hyotei's first-years. In her eyes, even someone as strong as Kannagi Shinichi should be building a solid foundation in his first year. Now, having those first-years compete nationally, Ryuzaki Sumire couldn't help but look down on Hyotei a bit.

Although Tennis Weekly "praised Hyotei's first-years to the heavens," in her heart, the older Hyotei students who had played tennis for a few more years were more worthy of her attention.

Hyotei's actions now, in her eyes, were more like self-sabotage.

On the court, the match had already ended. Tezuka Kunimitsu gave Takei Kenshi no chance.

In just ten minutes, Tezuka Kunimitsu swept Takei Kenshi 6-0.

At this moment, Takei Kenshi's face showed no dejection from being swept, but rather, it was filled with jealousy and anger.

Before this, he had watched Tezuka Kunimitsu's matches and knew he was a left-handed player.

But just now, Tezuka had used his right hand against him. Takei Kenshi felt that Tezuka Kunimitsu was looking down on him, which filled his arrogant heart with rage.

Takei Kenshi, holding his racket, walked up to Tezuka, his angry voice ringing out again: "Just a first-year, don't underestimate me. You're clearly left-handed, yet you used your right hand to play against me. Do you think you're so great?"

He had already decided to leave Seigaku and had no good feelings for the seniors here, so he paid no attention to Takei Kenshi's anger.

Seeing Tezuka Kunimitsu's demeanor, the malice within Takei Kenshi began to spread.

He was jealous of Tezuka's talent, and coupled with his anger at being swept, his heart gradually turned ferocious.

"You bastard, what's with that attitude? Since you like using your right hand so much, I'll cripple your left hand."

As soon as Takei Kenshi finished speaking, he ferociously raised his arm, holding his racket, and swung it fiercely towards Tezuka Kunimitsu's left hand from behind.

"Tezuka..., hurry and dodge..."

"No..."

Seeing this, Fuji Syusuke and Oishi Syuichiro shouted from outside the court.

Sensing the whistling wind of the approaching racket, Tezuka Kunimitsu turned around, only to see Takei Kenshi's racket swinging towards his arm.

Tezuka Kunimitsu wanted to dodge, but the distance was too close; he couldn't.

"Ah..."

Tezuka didn't shout loudly; he merely suppressed the pain with a soft groan, looking at Takei Kenshi with cold eyes.

At this moment, Takei Kenshi was also somewhat intimidated by Tezuka Kunimitsu's gaze and took a few steps back.

However, in a flash, he realized what he had just done and became enraged again, roaring at Tezuka: "Brat, what's with that look?"

"Even if you're stronger than me, so what?"

"Do you think the coach will let you participate in the regular selection?"

"Don't dream, you're just a first-year. No matter how strong you are, you're only fit to pick up balls..."

Takei Kenshi yelled at Tezuka Kunimitsu. His tone and expression showed no remorse for his actions; instead, his face was full of disdain and mockery. →

At this moment, Fuji Syusuke, Inui Sadaharu, and others also came to Tezuka's side. Looking at Tezuka Kunimitsu, their eyes were full of worry.

"Tezuka..."

Fuji called out softly, looking at Tezuka's lowered arm, his eyes filled with coldness.

"I... I'm... fine..."

Tezuka Kunimitsu's voice trembled as he covered his left arm with his right hand. The cold sweat on his forehead indicated that Tezuka was not as fine as he claimed.

Tezuka Kunimitsu's heart was cold. He had been injured by a regular member of the tennis club, yet the coach and the tennis club's president had not arrived.

He was truly disappointed in Seigaku.

Then, Tezuka remembered the boy named Kannagi Shinichi from the elementary school tournament, who had warned him to be careful of the seniors in the Seigaku tennis club.

Suddenly, he regretted it. Perhaps if he had gone to Hyotei back then, he would have become a regular by now instead of having his arm injured by a racket.

"Tezuka..., go to the hospital quickly... Your arm is fractured..."

Inui Sadaharu had long since thrown away the notebook where he recorded Tezuka's information. Now, he was more concerned about Tezuka's injury.

At this moment, Ryuzaki Sumire and Yamato Yudai also arrived at the tennis court. Seeing Tezuka's left hand hanging limply, Ryuzaki Sumire quickly shouted to the first-years: "Someone quickly take him to the infirmary."

"No need, I'll go myself." Tezuka merely glanced coldly at Ryuzaki Sumire, then looked at Yamato Yudai: "I'm leaving Seigaku's tennis club."

The only person on this court Tezuka still cared about was Yamato Yudai. Before this incident, Yamato Yudai had approached Tezuka and told him to work hard so that they, the first-years, could also participate in the regular selection.

But now, it was all too late.

Yamato Yudai wanted to persuade him to stay, but after what had happened, he couldn't find the words. He could only look at Tezuka with a face full of guilt: "I'll take you to the infirmary first."

"No need!" Although Tezuka Kunimitsu had a good impression of Yamato Yudai, it wasn't enough to change his resolve to leave Seigaku.

At this moment, Fuji Syusuke looked at Takei Kenshi with extremely cold eyes and asked Ryuzaki Sumire with a chilling tone: "Coach, can you tell me how you plan to deal with him?"

Fuji Syusuke pointed at Takei Kenshi, and upon seeing this, Takei Kenshi's face once again showed anger: "Brat, you want to die..."

"Enough!"

Ryuzaki Sumire's shout interrupted Takei Kenshi, and she looked at him with a complicated expression: "Takei, I'm stripping you of your regular position for now. You'll be a regular member first..."

"Coach..."

Takei Kenshi still wanted to argue, but Fuji Syusuke pointed at him with a cold glint in his eyes: "Coach, is such a light punishment all he deserves?"

"What more do you want?"

Hearing Fuji Syusuke question her, Ryuzaki Sumire felt a hint of impatience. Although she had seen Tezuka's strength, she had considered expelling Takei Kenshi from the tennis club to appease Tezuka Kunimitsu.

However, upon seeing Tezuka's determination to quit Seigaku, Ryuzaki Sumire knew that Tezuka Kunimitsu could no longer be persuaded to stay.

Although Takei Kenshi's strength was far inferior to Tezuka Kunimitsu's, if Takei Kenshi were to be expelled now, it would be difficult for Seigaku to cope with the upcoming prefectural tournament.

Fuji Syusuke, listening to Ryuzaki Sumire's tone, knew that Takei Kenshi's punishment could no longer be changed. Thus, his tone carried a hint of mockery: "Today, I, Fuji Syusuke, will also quit the Seigaku tennis club..."

"And me, Inui Sadaharu, will also quit Seigaku today..."

"I, Kawamura Takashi..."

"I, Kikumaru Eiji..."

After a string of voices, a total of six first-year students announced their withdrawal from Seigaku. Besides Tezuka Kunimitsu, they were Fuji Syusuke, Inui Sadaharu, Oishi Syuichiro, Kikumaru Eiji, and Kawamura Takashi.

"You... everyone..."

Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at them. Their withdrawal from Seigaku for his sake touched him, but at the same time, he felt some guilt. After all, their leaving Seigaku was all because of him.

"This isn't just for Tezuka, but for ourselves too. After all, we don't want to stay in a tennis club where seniors bully juniors!"

At this moment, Fuji Syusuke seemed to have seen through Tezuka's thoughts. He supported Tezuka, the coldness on his face had greatly diminished, and beneath his worried gaze, there was a hint of a smile.

The others, hearing Fuji Syusuke's words, nodded in agreement.

They surrounded Tezuka Kunimitsu and walked slowly away from the tennis court without looking back.

Ryuzaki Sumire watched the first-years leave and could only sigh. But at this moment, Yamato Yudai watched the retreating figures and felt a deep bitterness in his heart: "Seigaku has no future..."
