As expected, less than half an hour later, Ye Changfeng completely crushed Ikeda 6-0.
With four straight victories, he officially became a Seigaku regular.
On the other side, Ryoma defeated Momoshiro but lost to Takashi Kawamura.
With three wins and one loss, he replaced the injured Momoshiro and also earned a regular spot.
The final regular position went to Kaoru Kaidoh after Sadaharu Inui forfeited.
‘Looks like his chrysanthemum still hasn’t recovered.’
Thus, Seigaku’s eight regulars were finalized:
– Captain (3rd Year): Kunimitsu Tezuka
– Vice-Captain (3rd Year): Shuichiro Oishi
– Genius (3rd Year): Shusuke Fuji
– Powerhouse (3rd Year): Takashi Kawamura
– Acrobat (3rd Year): Eiji Kikumaru
– Viper (2nd Year): Kaoru Kaidoh
– 151 (1st Year): Ryoma Echizen
– Final Spot (1st Year): Ye Changfeng
For the first time in Seigaku’s history, two first-years had become regulars.
“Changfeng, Echizen, write down your sizes!” Oishi handed each of them a form.
“Sizes?
For what?” Ye Changfeng asked, confused.
“It’s for ordering your regular uniforms.
Your name will be embroidered on them, so they need to be custom-made!”
“Wow, I’m so jealous!” The Three Freshmen looked on with envy.
Ye Changfeng smiled and wrote a bold, powerful Chinese character “风” (Wind).
His calligraphy was surprisingly good — strong and full of vigor.
After the day’s matches ended, Ye Changfeng went home and once again cooked glowing dishes for his two sisters.
After another round of frenzied eating, Ye Changfeng quietly washed the dishes.
He was really starting to enjoy this life — intense battles with geniuses during the day, then coming home to his two sisters at night.
It felt warm and comforting, like a real family.
But today the atmosphere felt off.
Yuki was aimlessly flipping through CDs and sighing, while Mayu, who was usually noisy when watching anime, was unusually quiet.
“Huh?
Yuki-nee, Mayu-nee, what’s wrong?
Did something happen?” Ye Changfeng asked curiously.
“Haha, it’s hilarious.
Yuki went to the Super Girl audition today and got eliminated in the first round!” Mayu teased.
“Hmph!
You have no right to laugh at me.
Weren’t you rejected by the magazine again?
If I remember correctly, that’s your 101st rejection from King Weekly!” Yuki fired back.
“Oh, so that’s what happened,” Ye Changfeng thought.
‘That shouldn’t be possible.
Yuki has Master-level Songstress skill, and with her looks and figure, there’s no way she should’ve been eliminated in the auditions.’
“Yuki-nee, what exactly happened?
I’ve heard you sing karaoke.
You’re no worse than those idol singers.
How did you get eliminated so early?” Ye Changfeng asked.
“Hmph!
That perverted judge kept staring at my chest and even… even asked me to go to a love hotel with him.
He said if I didn’t, I wouldn’t pass!
It made me so angry!
Waaah~” Yuki’s eyes turned red.
Hearing this, Ye Changfeng was furious.
*Trying to pull casting couch bullshit on my sister?
He’s dead.
I’ll make sure to slap his face until he doesn’t recognize it!*
He pulled Yuki into his arms and comforted her gently.
“It’s okay, sis.
Don’t worry.
That crappy Super Girl show?
I’ll make you a worldwide superstar.
Trust me!”
“Mmm… Xiao Feng, I believe in you!” Yuki pressed her warm body closer to him.
‘Jeez, sis, you don’t have to take advantage of me like this…’ Ye Changfeng complained outwardly, but inwardly he was thoroughly enjoying the soft, elastic sensation.
“I want some too!” Mayu, not wanting to be left out, jumped over and clung to him as well.
“Alright, Mayu-nee, what happened with you?” Ye Changfeng asked.
‘Her drawing skill is Advanced level.
How did she get rejected 101 times?
Is her storytelling really that bad?’
“Hmph!
Every time they reject me, they say the story isn’t tight enough or has no serialization potential.
I think the editors at King Weekly just don’t have good taste!” Mayu pouted adorably.
“Haha, of course those idiots wouldn’t understand your talent!
Can I take a look at your work?” Ye Changfeng asked.
Mayu quickly ran to her room and brought back two huge boxes full of manuscripts.
Ye Changfeng flipped through them.
As a former otaku, he immediately spotted the problem.
Mayu’s art was actually quite good — not Inoue Takehiko level, but definitely good enough for serialization.
The real issue was the storytelling.
Every story followed the same tired cliché of “hero saves the beauty,” and the plots were mediocre at best.
From his critical eye, they were simply not good enough.
Being rejected 101 times made complete sense.
Of course, Ye Changfeng wasn’t stupid enough to say that out loud.
“Mayu-nee, your art is fantastic!
It’s just the storytelling that needs a little work.
Leave it to me.
I’ll make sure King Weekly regrets rejecting you!” Ye Changfeng promised while patting his chest.
“Yay!
Xiao Feng is the best!
I love you so much!” Mayu immediately pressed her face toward his.
Yuki saw this and joined in.
“Me too!”
Double attack!
Facing two flushed, beautiful faces and their moist, tempting lips, Ye Changfeng couldn’t hold back.
He gave each of them a quick, light kiss.
‘Wow… that felt amazing!’
Ding!

‘This shameless system is basically encouraging crime!’ Ye Changfeng silently complained.
