Transmigrated as Sukuna, but the Host is Yukinoshita?

Chapter 33 Chapter 30 He really did it, I almost cried.

“Please sit down.”

Yukinoshita Yukino fetched a chair for Ayaka Hozuki.

“Thank you.” The silver-haired boy murmured, his adorable face wearing a slight bashful smile that seemed like a magnet to someone’s gaze.

“So, what is your request?”

“Well, I wanted to ask you all to help improve my tennis skills,” said Ayaka Hozuki scratching her cheek.

“I don’t think any of you understand how weak our school’s tennis club is. After the seniors graduated, it got even worse.”

When talking about sports clubs at Sōbu High School, everyone immediately thinks of the football club. The football club of Sōbu is one of the best in the county, having once even reached the top eight in a major tournament.

Therefore, a significant portion of the sports club budget is spent on the football club.

As for other sports clubs, they’re just ordinary. The tennis club is no exception.

Discussion of the current state of the tennis club brought a hint of melancholy to Ayaka’s face.

“It might be because we’ve never achieved much. Other members have become lackadaisical during club activities. After the seniors handed over the club presidency to me, things got even worse.”

“So, I thought if I could get stronger, maybe the other members would pick up their spirits a bit.”

“Can you entrust this to us?” asked Ayaka Hozuki, her slightly wet eyes drifting toward Hachiman Hikigaya.

“No, don’t look at me like that, as if I’m the captain or something.”

Hachiman Hikigaya turned his head with difficulty. He feared he’d suddenly bang the table and shout, “How can someone not strive for excellence? With Serve Him Club, I can decide! I’ll certainly help Ayaka!”

Then he’d be thrown out the window again by Yukinoshita.

It was worth noting that there was still a broken hole in the window, but it was concealed by curtains.

“You have explained the situation I understand,” said Yukinoshita Yukino. “But, it seems your hope will not come true.”

“What do you mean?” Her smile froze before she could fully express it, “This is what you mean?”

“From what you said, it sounds like the members of your tennis club are lazy and unwilling to work hard. Are you expecting these people to suddenly become dedicated when they see your improved skills?”

Yukinoshita Yukino stood up, moving towards the window as she described these harsh truths. The gentle evening breeze lifted her long hair, and the sunset cast a golden glow around her.

She gazed outside, her pupils reflecting the fiery sky, seemingly remembering her own unpleasant experiences as a child. A hint of disgust flashed across her eyes.

“A group of people who won’t put effort together will make the one who is working hard seem like an anomaly,” Yukinoshita Yukino turned to stare at Ayaka Hozuki, “People follow those who are better, except for those who give up on themselves.”

“Is…that so?” Ayaka Hozuki lowered her head despondently.

Beside them, Yui Yuigahama was getting nervous, not knowing what to say. She only used her eyes to hint at Hachiman Hikigaya, signaling him to think of a way to help.

Surely there must be some way to help Ayaka?

Before Hachiman Hikigaya could speak, Yukinoshita Yukino’s clear voice rang out, “I won’t help those who have given up on themselves, but if your request is merely about improving your own tennis level, then the Service Club has no reason to refuse.”

“Really, Xiao Xue!” The teary-eyed girl with bobbed hair stopped crying and hugged Yukinoshita Yukino, “Don’t talk too fast, okay!”

“Is that so? I was just saying what I wanted to say… besides, it’s too close, classmate Yui.”

The dark-haired girl looked embarrassed as she was being held.

For the aspect about talking too quickly… yes, it must have been infected by the Parasitic Bug.

“Thank you, Yukinoshita-san.” Ayaka Hozuki was deeply moved.

“Don’t get too excited yet, my training is very demanding.”

Yukinoshita Yukino finally broke away from Yui Yuigahama’s fussing. Although she assumed a serious demeanor, the carefree behavior she showed earlier made it harder for her to establish a serious image.

As she placed her hands in front of her, half-heartedly warding off Yui Yuigahama’s advances, she also watched Yukiko’s smiling face, and Yukinoshita Yukino sighed helplessly.

…

After officially accepting Ayaka Hozuki’s request, Yukinoshita Yukino returned to a familiar field of expertise and began to outline a training plan for her.

Naturally, the foundation of all sports lies in endurance and body condition.

To make the physical training regimen more tailored to Ayaka Hozuki, Yukinoshita Yukino researched extensive materials online and repeatedly revised based on Ayaka’s actual performance until she devised a satisfactory plan.

However, building physical endurance is not a matter of a few days. It takes persistent effort to see results.

She also began concurrent technical training for tennis.

Under Yukinoshita Yukino’s guidance and personal efforts, Ayaka Hozuki’s skills were improving rapidly.

Every noon break, she practiced with the three members of the Service Club, and during the tennis club activities, she focused on endurance training. She even practiced on her own in private.

She was so eager to make progress.

Everyone has their limit, and after several intense days of practice, Ayaka Hozuki’s body finally gave out.

During a practice session with Yui Yuigahama, Ayaka Hozuki completely read the ball’s trajectory and ordered her body to return the shot, but the fatigue she had built up over the days caused her body to stop functioning.

Ayaka was about to catch the ball, but her legs suddenly gave way, causing her to lean forward and collapse onto the ground.

Her knees scraped against the ground, blood oozing through the wounds dirtied by dust.

“Xiao Cai!” Yui Yuigahama called out worriedly from across the net.

“I’m fine, continue please,” Even with tears squeezed from her eyes, Ayaka Hozuki insisted on continuing the training.

“Still planning to train after this?” After checking his wounds, Yukinoshita Yukino asked calmly.

“Yes, everyone is diligently training with me. We shouldn’t waste their time.”

The silver-haired youth spoke gently yet firmly.

Facing Ayaka Hozuki’s earnest attitude, Hachiman Hikigaya, who intended to persuade her to take a break, swallowed the words in his throat.

He really did it; I almost cried.

…

After school, she becomes a jujutsu sorcerer.
