Li Qiubai was bound to a “Tennis Champion Training System” that ordered him to “claim the national championship without holding back.”
Li Qiubai rubbed his ear.
He figured he must be hallucinating after staying up all night drawing comics. Otherwise, how could a shut-in with social anxiety who had never even touched a tennis racket possibly play tennis, let alone win a championship?
The System insisted, “That’s right, it’s you: a peerless athletic genius with perfect scores in all five attributes!”
Li Qiubai ignored it and went back to drawing his comics.
The System threatened, “If you don’t play tennis, I’ll publish all your comics and make you die of embarrassment!”
Li Qiubai: !!!
Li Qiubai immediately changed his tune. “I love playing volleyball!”
The System roared, “Tennis!!!”
【Mission 1: Get into Rikkai University】
【Mission 2: Join the tennis club】…
【Main Mission: Win sixteen consecutive Kanto tournament matches with Rikkai University! Claim the national championship three times in a row!!!】
Li Qiubai immediately spotted a loophole. So it was Rikkai University? That made things easy. Rikkai was so strong that he could join the tennis club, coast along as an ordinary member, and wait for them to win this year’s championship. Wouldn’t that complete his mission?
As far as he knew, Rikkai had a godlike captain, a vice captain who hit the ball like he was chopping vegetables, a strategist who was basically a human computer, and a whole team of other players with national-level skill. How could they possibly lose?
…Right?
One day, Li Qiubai ran into the captain at the hospital. The captain’s face was pale as he walked out of the sports medicine clinic.
Li Qiubai’s heart sank.
The System said: 【Rikkai’s strategist will meet his childhood friend at the Kanto tournament and lose out of sentiment】
【Rikkai’s vice captain will go easy on his opponent in the deciding game, allowing the protagonist to turn the match around】
【Rikkai’s Kanto tournament winning streak will come to an end】
【Rikkai’s captain will have only just recovered from a serious illness when he loses the deciding match at the national tournament】
【Rikkai will finish second at the national tournament】
Li Qiubai’s heart sank again and again.
Did that mean this shut-in comic artist really had to play tennis?
PS: The love interest is a darkened Yukimura who can dream about the original plot. The protagonist is a peerless genius who will gradually come to love tennis.
Theme: Strive and fight hard
