The All-Rounder Who Can't Do Anything

Note: This story includes elements from manga series such as The Prince of Tennis, but features mostly Western properties. Rhys Terence is an unremarkable high school student at a Gotham City middle school. Especially when his desk mate, Gotham's most talked-about figure, Tim Drake, shows up, his ordinariness reaches its peak. But he has a secret of his own. In the Batcave's supercomputer, Rhys Terence's profile is filed under the group deemed least threatening. Bruce put together this background check to assess Tim's school life. Tim Drake, who naps with his head on his desk during the day and aspires to become the world's greatest detective, gives this assessment: Rhys Terence is an ordinary person. He's no different from any passerby you might brush shoulders with on the streets of Gotham during the day. Rhys thinks that if dreaming every night counts as a secret... Half-asleep, he follows the students fleeing from rioters under Red Robin's lead, falling a step behind. A huge boulder has fallen across their escape route, leaving them nowhere to go. “Don't worry. I'll get you out of here.” Covered in dust from the explosion and scraped up, his uniform in tatters, Red Robin still tries to calm him with a smile. In truth, Tim is almost out of explosives. “Oh.” The other boy answers calmly, casually pulling a tennis ball from his pocket. He picks up a reasonably straight piece of wood, grips it, and takes a tennis stance. Then, under Red Robin's stunned gaze, he crouches, tosses the ball, leaps, and swings. The yellow ball arcs through the air and smashes into the boulder blocking their way with force that defies physics, blasting a passage through it. It was more like the power of a rocket launcher. “Shall we go?” As calm as if he'd just hit an ordinary tennis ball, he brushes the dust from his hands and turns to ask Red Robin, who is still staring in shock. - A protagonist who likes everything and can do anything.
