Ding!
Congratulations, Host!
You have completed the quest “Save the Noobs” and earned 2,000 Exchange Points!
With the points secured, Ye Changfeng turned his attention to the newcomer.
Yellow T-shirt, spiky hair standing straight up, bright and energetic eyes — if he wasn’t mistaken, this was Takeshi Momoshiro.
“System, give me his info!”
Ding!
[Name: Takeshi Momoshiro]
[Grade: 2nd Year, Class 8]
[Combat Power: 5,000 (Tennis Spirit — currently injured, power reduced by half)]
[Nicknames: Momo, Idiot, Monkey (Kaidoh exclusive), Fun Guy (Sengoku exclusive)]
[Age: 13-14]
[Height: 170 cm]
[Skills: Dunk Smash, Jackknife, Bullet Serve, Super Momoshiro Smash]
[System Evaluation: A lively and energetic guy who shouldn’t be underestimated.
However, he is currently injured, so his strength is greatly reduced.]
‘As expected of a regular and one of the main characters — the info is really detailed,’ Ye Changfeng thought.
‘But since he’s injured right now, he’s not my opponent.’
“You guys shouldn’t bully the freshmen just because the upperclassmen aren’t around!” Momoshiro said unhappily to the two shady seniors.
“That’s not cool!”
“Momo, we’ve got something to take care of.
We’re leaving!” The two seniors quickly slipped away the moment they saw trouble.
“Hey, where do you think you’re going?” Ye Changfeng blocked their path with a cold gaze.
“What about my 10,000 yen?”
Under the disapproving stares from everyone around, the pockmarked senior reluctantly pulled out 10,000 yen and handed it over with a pained expression.
“Get lost,” Ye Changfeng said, stepping aside.
The two seniors left with their heads down, eyes full of resentment.
After they were gone, Momoshiro walked up to Ye Changfeng, compared their heights, and grinned.
“So you’re Ryoma Echizen?
You’re a lot taller than I expected!”
“Not me,” Ye Changfeng replied helplessly.
‘As if that shorty could be as handsome as me.’
“Then who are you?” Momoshiro asked.
“First-year.
Ye Changfeng.”
“Ye Changfeng?
That’s not a Japanese name.
Pretty unique.” Momoshiro smiled.
“Hey, want to play a match against me?”
Momoshiro had become very interested after seeing Ye Changfeng’s powerful Scud Serve earlier.
At that moment, Ye Changfeng caught a glimpse of a short boy in a red and white jacket walking over.
He wore a tennis cap pulled low, hiding most of his face.
‘Judging by that vibe… this guy must be…’
“System, give me that kid’s info!”
Ding!
[Name: Ryoma Echizen]
[Combat Power: 9,000 (Tennis Spirit)]
[Nicknames: Young Master Ryoma, Shorty, Kid, Prince of Tennis, Cat Prince, 151]
[Age: 12]
[Height: 151 cm]
[Dominant Hand: Left]
[Skills: Twist Serve, One-Legged Split Steps, Ambidextrous Play, Imitation]
[System Evaluation: Extremely competitive.
This is a necessary quality to become the Tennis God.
His potential is terrifying — he may become the user’s strongest rival in the future.
However, he is a complete romantic idiot with zero interest in girls.]
‘It really is Ryoma Echizen!’
Seeing that Ye Changfeng wasn’t responding, Momoshiro asked, “What’s wrong, kid?
You scared?”
Ye Changfeng chuckled.
“I don’t bully injured people.
The opponent you want is right over there.” He pointed at Ryoma and casually stepped aside.
“Tch, this guy…” Momoshiro muttered.
He then turned and grabbed Ryoma.
“So you’re Ryoma Echizen?
You’re even shorter than I imagined!”
“Who are you?” Ryoma stopped and asked.
“I’m Takeshi Momoshiro, second year.
I’ve heard about you from the coach.
They say you’re a genius who can do the Twist Serve, right?”
“So what if I can?” Ryoma replied with his usual cocky expression.
He was starting to get interested in Momoshiro as well.
“Then before you grow up… I’m going to crush you!” Momoshiro declared confidently.
“Is that so?
I don’t mind.
Let’s do it,” Ryoma replied, his competitive spirit fully ignited.
A match between the two was now inevitable…
