Synopsis

(The rating has only just come out, so it may rise.)

[Rikkai 16+3, Black Ryuzaki Sumire and An Tachibana.

A low-key slice-of-life story following the official timeline, with an ensemble cast. Not a heated sports competition story. The protagonist isn't invincible and will, of course, lose.

Beloved by everyone, with an all-leaning direction + some flirting in the main story but no canon pairing + pairing-focused extras.

Prince of Tennis + Touken Ranbu + Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory arc. The main story is Prince of Tennis! Prince of Tennis! Prince of Tennis!

The official timeline and personal headcanons coexist. Jujutsu Kaisen characters get saved from death, so read with caution if that's not for you.]

Kitahara Yuma, a former saniwa, now living off his retirement pension.

He worked for the government for seven years just so he could retire and live with his swords. The day his pension arrived, Kitahara Yuma thought he could finally lie flat.

Then he discovered that he had three hurdles to overcome:

First, the swords at home were afraid he'd become an illiterate dropout with no qualifications, so they all urged him to go back to school.

He pretended to resist, teased them a little, then agreed.

Second, his new friends dragged him into the Rikkai tennis club, where he was forced to swing a racket.

Well, tennis was pretty fun too. He'd just play along with his friends.

Third, just when he'd finally accepted the situation, two strange guys claiming to be jujutsu sorcerers blocked his way and forced him to learn about the jujutsu world.

Hey, someone's picking on a retired old man here!

Playing tennis, taking care of his swords, and occasionally pretending to be a jujutsu sorcerer: that was Kitahara Yuma's “retirement.”

On the day he lifted Rikkai's third national championship trophy with his teammates, the swords unfurled a banner in the stands, while Gojo Satoru waved a flag from the sidelines.

Kitahara Yuma couldn't help thinking:

Maybe this retirement life wasn't so bad after all?

I am really super excited, so happy, touched, and like it. I love you, the author. This article reminds me of the good times I read in Green River a few years ago, especially the flavor of fan fiction a few years ago. When I saw the name and introduction, I thought I had seen something similar in Green River. Everyone in Honmaru is so loving, and the characters are not very OOC at the moment. My favorites in Net King are Rikkai Yama and Lord Lord, Rikkai Dai has three consecutive dominations with no dead ends! It is fate to win both battles in Lihai and Dalian!! 🥰🥰[Admiration]

This is such a heartthrob, I especially like the Tezuka x protagonist. Finally, Kunimitsu is no longer a cold paper character, but a little Kunimitsu who has a companion who can laugh. The author also wrote very good characters and they are not OOC at all. There is no dk Satoru and Yurika Yukimura who constantly call themselves father-in-law. Everyone is living a very real life. The same thing happened when I saw Yukimura Sanada and the protagonist Tezuka hanging out together, and I felt so warm that everyone was living in the author's writing😭 The niche is a treasure, but I believe the author's articles can be seen by more people. I hope you don't give up and keep working hard. It's really, really good to watch. Don't doubt yourself, the author. I've been watching Variety Comics for ten years. The daily writing is really beautiful. I see how relaxed everyone feels when they are together. I feel like there are so many things to write about about Japan's firework festivals and school festivals. I like the feeling of everyone being together. But it just doesn't feel like there's any emotional element to it. To be honest, if it wasn't about a heartthrob, I would have thought it was a mess. Hey, maybe junior high school students just don't understand.

It's beautiful, I don't know what to say, I just like it😋 I don't really like the arrangement of the cursed plot, it has a subtle sense of compulsion. What best friend would take a man to live and eat at the house of a close friend who has a secret? Weird

It looks good. I need to write CP. Or I can write Jusaburo Mori or Seiichi Yukimura. [Send my heart][Send my heart]

This heartthrob is so cool, I really like this kind of harmonious and loving relationship between the princes () There is no inexplicable malice (NPCs don't count) Then I want to shout that All Yuu is so awesome!!!

This CP is so messy and exciting [laughs] I really like the setting of retiring with Honmaru. Is there a variety show PA like "Can I come home with you" in the future? It will be very interesting. The protagonist also plays tennis, but he is not that brainless. He can feel the youthful energy of everyone in Rikkai happily getting along with each other, such a dazzling youth 😢

Nice! Yuzhen's character is super cute, and her interaction with Yukimura is so good. 🥰 🥰 She also combines the sword chaos and the curse, and the characters are not OOC at all 🤭 Especially Satoru and Jay 😂 😂 😂 Come on~ I will keep chasing, don't stop updating, otherwise I will send you the blade 🤔

Beautiful!! If there were to be CPs, could it be Jusaburo Mori, Seiichi Yukimura, Keigo Atobe, Kunimitsu Tezuka, Satoru Gojo, Natsu Youkei, and Shiraki Fushiguro!!! Please, just grant me a small wish, big!!!! Come on!!!!!

I like it very much. It's so exciting. What I want is this kind of novel that directly touches the soul. It's so charming! It's such a fairy tale (¯▽¯)/Only gods can see it! The author works hard to update, and I will follow you to death! ~(¯▽¯~)~

There are not many fanfics in Net King that I like, and this one is one of them. The characters are very vivid and there is no OOC, and the story line is clear. I really like this kind of narrative style, good luck to the author. Is the little kelp coming? Looking forward to 😳
