The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 6 Return to School
At the end of August, summer vacation is over and it’s time to go back to school.

Early in the morning, Maya Yuuki was awake as usual. Today was the first day back to school.

When going downstairs, Yuuki Eri had already placed breakfast on the table waiting for Yuuki Maya.

"Where's Dad? When did he leave?"

Maya Yuuki pulled out a chair and sat down, picked up a piece of bread, chewed it, and asked casually.

"I just left not long ago. I heard that the company is very busy recently, so I left very early during this period."

The voice of Eri Yuki came from the kitchen, and there was also the sound of running water, as if someone was washing something.

Yuki didn't ask any more questions and finished the remaining bread and warm milk in a few bites.

"I'm going."

Without staying at home for too long, Maya Yuuki put on her schoolbag and carried her tennis bag, said goodbye to her mother, opened the door and left.

After crossing an intersection and turning into a fork in the road, he heard a call coming from the front.

"Good morning, Maya-kun."

This greeting is plain yet gentle.

When Yuuki Maya heard the voice, he looked and saw a girl with silver hair who was about his age.

"It's you, Tomoyo. Good morning."

Without showing any surprise, Maya Yuuki was not at all surprised that the girl in front of her was waiting here.

Kamizaku Chiyo, his childhood friend, childhood sweetheart, and girlfriend.

The two were neighbors in elementary school. After moving to a new house last year, which was a little farther away from Yuuki Maya's house, Kanzaki Tomoyo still insisted on going to and from school together.

He is currently the deputy director of Rikkai University's Kendo Club and the vice president of the college's disciplinary committee.

"I say, Tomoyo, there's no need for you to wait for me here every day in the future." As the two walked side by side, Maya Yuuki said.

"What's wrong, are you fed up with it, Yuki-san?" Kamiya Tomoyo's smiling face froze, and in an instant her tone became much lower than before, with a hint of warning in her words.

"How could that be? I just wanted to say that you have already moved, and it would be troublesome for you to wait for me like before." Yuuki Maya spread his hands and explained. He didn't have such an idea.

"If that's the case, it's totally fine. I thought Maya-kun was getting tired of the old and loved the new. Come to think of it, Maya-kun is very popular among the girls in school."

Kanzaki Tomoyo responded with a smile with her eyes narrowed, but Yuuki Maya felt a chill down her spine.

"Well - speaking of which, the Umihara Festival is coming soon. Has your club decided on a theme, Tomoyo?" Yuuki Maya immediately changed the subject and asked stiffly.

"We've already negotiated it. Let's maintain the theme of previous years and hold an open competition." Kamijou Chiyo replied unhappily.

The Kaihara Festival, also known as Rikkai University's cultural festival, is held as scheduled after September every year.

"As for you, your tennis club won the national championship this year. There will definitely be a lot of people visiting your venue." Kamiya Tomoyo mentioned this, feeling a little envious.

After the national conference, the results of all Rikkai University's sports clubs were finalized.

This year's tennis club's performance undoubtedly overshadowed all other sports clubs, winning the regional championship, Kanagawa Prefecture championship, Kanto championship and national championship.

In contrast, the softball team, which ranked second, only had one Kanto Conference runner-up and a National Conference runner-up.

As for the kendo club that Kamijou Tomoyo is in, although it is a fighting club, its performance this year was not very good, and it was eliminated in the first round of the national team competition.

"I don't know either. We were discussing this at the last meeting. Let Yukimura worry about it himself."

Yuki Maya said nonchalantly that he was neither the captain nor the vice-captain of the tennis club anyway, so he could just let Yukimura and Sanada discuss such brain-burning matters.

You just need to say something like "Everything is fine" or "I think your proposal is great" during the meeting.

After entering the school gate and arriving at the door of the classroom, the two separated because they were not in the same class, Yuuki Maya was in Class C of the first year, and Kanzaki Tomoyo was in Class E of the first year.

"Good morning Yukimura."

After entering the classroom, Yuuki Maya greeted Yukimura Seiichi who was already sitting in his seat when she passed by him.

Coincidentally, he and Yukimura were not only classmates in elementary school, but were also assigned to the same class after entering Rikkai University.

"Good morning Maya, how was your holiday?" Yukimura Seiichi said with a slight smile.

"It's just okay. I haven't touched the tennis racket properly for a few days." Yuki Maya replied indifferently.

He had indeed not practiced his tennis skills for a few days, as he had been immersed in deep mastery of the Stasis Blood Suit since the Nationals.

"Don't let Sanada hear this, or he'll accuse you of slacking off again."

"Let him talk, I don't care." Yuuki Maya waved her hand and replied indifferently, then walked to her seat, put her schoolbag on the table, and sat down leisurely.

Yukimura Seiichi chuckled at this. He was not surprised because the other party had always done this.

In the Rikkai University Tennis Club, the only one who dared to speak to Genichirō Sanada like this was Maya Yuuki.

……

The six classes of the day ended in the blink of an eye, and then it was time for club activities. After stretching her body, Maya Yuuki picked up the tennis bag from her side and stood up.

"Then Yukimura, I'll take a step." He said to Yukimura Seiichi.

As today's duty student, the other party needs to clean the classroom before leaving.

Then he walked out of the classroom and arrived at the entrance of the tennis club in a few minutes.

Looking at the more people gathered around the stadium than usual, Yuuki Maya couldn't help feeling a little confused.

"Hey, Yuki! Come here." A familiar voice came from a distance. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Marui Bunta waving at him.

Beside Marui Bunta are Niou Masaharu and Yanagi Renji.

"What's the situation now?" Maya Yuuki walked up to the few people and asked.

"It's nothing. This is just the effect of us winning the national championship." Yanagi Renji explained calmly and seriously.

Yuuki Maya nodded. If that was the case, it would be normal.

"Now there are many people from other sports clubs who want to transfer to the tennis club. Sanada and Kuwazono have already gone to deal with this matter. By the way, why didn't Captain Yukimura come with you?" Marui Bunta asked with some confusion.

"Yukimura is on duty today, so he will be here later." Maya Yuuki said.

"In that case, I will be responsible for supervising today's basic training." Yanagi Renji finalized today's club arrangements with just one sentence.

"Pfft - training starts so soon? I was hoping to rest for a while longer." Niou Masaharu said with a helpless expression.

However, although Niou Masaharu said he wanted to rest, he did not hesitate at all and immediately followed Yuuki Maya and others into the stadium.

This is the discipline of the Rikkai University Tennis Club. As a regular player, you must set an example and implement the rules of the tennis club.
-
Explain why you created an original female character.

One reason is that there are relatively few female characters in Prince of Tennis works, and most of them either have a CP, a big age gap, or do not suit my taste.

The second reason is that the protagonist is in Kanagawa, and you can't write something about him going to Tokyo on a whim and running into Tachibana An who is being teased by Atobe, and then being a hero to save the damsel in distress or something like that. That would be too awkward and make my scalp tingle.

As for the female characters, you can rest assured that their roles will be very small, and they will only appear occasionally in some daily plots.

Finally, the name and personality of this original female character are a combination of three people, and all those who can be guessed are from the second-dimensional world.
