Zephyr, a transfer student from France, had hoped to enjoy a quiet life in Japan. But after casually using a levitation charm to grab a drink at Shitenhoji, he was caught by Kintaro Toyama from the tennis club, who mistook him for an "unmatched tennis ace."

And so, the ridiculous rumor of a "mysterious tennis prodigy from France" swept through all of Shitenhoji in an instant.

From then on, to keep his identity secret, Zephyr had no choice but to grit his teeth and step onto the court, disguising his wand as a racket and hiding his spells in his breathing.

Looking at the boy before him, whose face was full of admiration, Zephyr covered his face in despair.

Kintaro Toyama stared at the fingers Zephyr had just waved, his eyes sparkling. "Zephyr! Was that move you just used to make the drink fly over the legendary 'no-racket shot' windup? That was amazing! Teach me!"

"...I just wanted a Coke," Zephyr lied with a blank expression.

"I get it! It's all about your state of mind! Only when you reach the realm of 'no racket in your hand, but a racket in your heart' can you control a Coke with your mind!" Kintaro clenched his fist, enlightened.

Shiraishi Kuranosuke, passing by, looked at Zephyr with a profound gaze. "I see. A shot that defies the laws of physics? How interesting. Come play a match with me."

Zephyr: ...Let it all burn. Right now.

Because of his parents' jobs, Lin Yu'an transferred to Japan and enrolled at Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High. On the first day of school, during the introduction session, he noticed someone with hair like a clump of kelp.

The one thing Lin Yu'an felt lucky about, amid all the Japanese food he couldn't get used to, was that because his parents were busy, he had grown up with his grandparents.

His grandparents had both been chefs. Their talent for cooking skipped right over his mother and passed straight to him. He had learned most of their skills under their tutelage as a child, so after coming to Japan, he could still feed himself by cooking.

As he kept feeding himself, Lin Yu'an suddenly realized there was a little kelp-head near him who always looked pitiful and needed someone to feed him.

He dreamed of becoming a sports nutritionist. But on the day he joined the tennis club for a trial and made his first nutritious meal, he was unexpectedly bound to a System that claimed to come from the future and promised to teach him how to become a qualified sports nutritionist.

Note: There is more focus on daily life than on matches. I like all the original characters, so please don't put them down in favor of one another. Thanks to everyone who has offered suggestions. This is my first time writing, and I'll keep working to improve my writing!
