The boy with iris-colored hair stood on the podium at the National Tournament, his fingertips trembling, colder than the trophy in his hands. Yukimura Seiichi was reborn, returning to the point three months before the devastating illness struck. In his previous life, the cold 50% success rate on the operating table had taken his tennis career and shattered Rikkai Dai's dream of winning three championships in a row. This time, without telling anyone, he was staking everything on the slim 70% chance of survival in Germany.
No one knew that in the noisy shadows of a barbecue restaurant, the silver-haired emperor of Hyotei was watching him. Atobe Keigo had also been reborn, carrying the pain of having watched Yukimura struggle with illness and defeat in his previous life, until his light went out. Bound by his status and hemmed in by his pride, all he could do back then was watch from the sidelines. This time, he swore he wouldn't let the chance pass him by.
When Yukimura set off alone on an unfamiliar journey, Atobe barged into his life with an air that brooked no refusal. He offered hope in the guise of a sponsor, then used "being on the way" as an excuse to become Yukimura's only companion. From the morning light at Tokyo's Haneda Airport to the cold examination room of a hospital in Stuttgart, a life-or-death gamble with a 70% chance of success began.
The Child of God fell from his pedestal, and the emperor of Hyotei came bearing the light.
Theme: Reborn to reach the top again
Tsk tsk tsk tsk. Good straight shot. Wonderful straight shot.
Congratulations, this is what Tatehai deserves~
Tsk tsk tsk, Xiaojing loves it so much
I feel so sorry for you. You deserve the best.
Wow, CP is a mess
Not only to win, but to win beautifully~
Sure enough, for Yukimura now, winning three consecutive championships is the most important thing.
Well written, keep up the good work
... Eh? Did I remember it wrong? Aren't the seeded players not drawn by lots? Or am I reading too many fan stories?
Emmm, aren't Seiichi and Keigo reborn? Why are they not familiar with U17?
