Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Players initiate friendly competition!
When everyone recovered from the shock of "I am an orphan", their expressions were complicated.
Looking at this first-grader now, all his strange behaviors before seemed to have reasons.
Because I'm an orphan, without my family around, I'm really too immersed in my own world and do some incomprehensible things...
They are seniors after all, so they should be more tolerant and friendly towards this first-year junior...
Everyone thinking this carefully organized their words and looked at it——
No, what about first graders?
The first grader who was sitting here so obediently just now is so big! ?
Yagyu Hiroshi, the only one who hadn't spoken since entering, raised his hand: "If you're looking for that guy, he'd have already left from that side."
Yagyu pointed to the door which had been arched open a crack at some point.
Everyone: “…”
I suddenly got a headache when I thought about what unpredictable things that guy would do after he got out.
Marui, who was probably more familiar with Yagi Kei's language after having dealt with him a few times, said, "Did he say anything else before he left?"
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were fixed on the last person who made contact.
Yagyu pushed his glasses up. "Well... he ran up to me and said 'hello,' then he saw someone outside the door and muttered something like 'There's someone there too,' and ran out."
Everyone: “…”
"--not good!"
“—Oh no!!”
[Yagyu Hiroshi Favorability +5]
(23/52)
After players have finished brushing off the NPCs in the indoor scene, they will soon find unfamiliar NPCs refreshed outdoors.
Mission! Players are coming!!
"Hello."
"--ha?"
"Hello."
“…Tsk.”
"Hello."
"No—what the hell is wrong with this guy?!"
By the time Sanada Yanagi, Marui and others arrived at the tennis court, the entire place was in chaos.
In the huge tennis court, a tiny black shadow was seen running around behind a group of team members, just like a running sheepdog.
Everyone was a little PTSD-ed by his previous weird behavior so no one dared to provoke him directly and had to run after him non-stop.
Running is fine! Why does this guy even have a double jump followed by a roll and landing detection?
As soon as he finished complaining, the boy stopped and stared blankly.
Just when everyone thought something had happened to him again and approached him cautiously, he suddenly raised his eyes, stared in a certain direction, and started chasing people away again.
The crowd, their heart rates racing to almost 180, were terrified: "This is a sting operation! They're going to report this sting operation!"
After completing 3/4 of the greeting mission, players will gain access to a filtering function that will allow them to directly mark out NPCs that have not been greeted.
The convenience is greatly improved!
[Favorability +5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5…]
(51/52)
The player who successfully completed all the tasks until only the last one was left breathed a sigh of relief.
The players are so hardworking and have worked so hard for themselves!
The last one, the last one, the last one...
The player was looking for the last NPC everywhere, climbing up and down trees, climbing up and down roofs, and finally even looking directly into the ant hole.
The player knelt on the ground with his butt sticking up, and suddenly the vision in front of him changed.
Sanada picked up the dirty first-year with a dark face. Surrounding him were the members of the tennis club who were panting as they chased after the players.
A third-year NPC who had completed the greeting quest: "Huff... Huff... Sanada, you see... this guy runs too fast, we really can't keep up with him... Huff."
The others nodded: "Yeah, yeah, I can't keep up at all."
Sanada's face darkened even more. Logically, he should have scolded this new student who brought chaos and trouble to the tennis club.
As soon as he met those lifeless eyes, the 'Orphan' charged forward and delivered a critical hit.
Veins popped out of Sanada's forehead. "This is disgraceful! I can't even keep up with a first-year student! Double my training load from today!"
Suddenly there were wailing everywhere.
And the players? Players are still figuring out why their vision is changing strangely.
The player kept spinning and jumping, and successfully landed beautifully with a bunny kick!
Full marks for operation!!
Everyone in the tennis club was horrified and took a step back, increasing their assessment of the danger level of this first-year student who was able to break free from the restraints of the dark-faced Sanada.
Liu found the bright spot: "Yagi, what are you looking for?"
Yanagi noticed that after Yagi Kei greeted everyone in the tennis club, his behavior of jumping around was close to a search... probably a search.
The player opens his mouth——
“Dangdang!”
The taskbar flashes and a new task pops up:
【Task 2: Guide to Making Friends
Tennis is the best way to enhance friendship. Let’s have fun looking for opponents together!
Please have a friendly competition with the residents of Web Valley (Rikkai University) (0/1)
Reward: Potato Seeds x5, EXP +100, 250 yen]
There is a lot of stuff in the front, a lot of stuff in the middle, and only the back is the focus!
The player's eyes lit up. Seed! The player's seed!
With seeds, players can embark on the glorious and great road of farming and become the world's number one farmer!
Players can’t wait any longer!!
Yagi Kei: "I'm looking for an opponent."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed.
——This guy, after all this, is he just looking for an opponent? He's really unfathomable... What the hell!?
Anyone who sees him saying this with a blank expression or even a bit distracted will definitely think he is just being perfunctory!
The player approaches,
The player puts his head on the nearest NPC, trying to express his urgency at the moment by squeezing the NPC into the wall.
Yagi Kei: "I'm looking for an opponent."
Top top top.
After a while, Yagi Kei said: "I want to spar."
Crowd, crowd, crowd.
After a while, Yagi Kei said: "Seed, seed, seed, seed..."
Everyone: “…”
Yabai could understand it at the beginning but became less and less able to understand as he spoke later on. What on earth is this guy doing?
besides--
Everyone looked at Genichirō Sanada in fear, his face as dark as water, as he was pushed backwards for a distance by a very powerful first-year student.
Although Sanada didn't say anything, it was obvious to the naked eye that his anger had accumulated to the point of exploding!
#danger#danger#! !
Sanada's face was extremely dark. No one dared to breathe or look at him, and everyone avoided his gaze.
Amidst the crowd of people dodging, only the player's mudslide was adding fuel to the fire.
Yagi Kei: "%#￥…kind of#%#&*opponent…#"
Uhhhhhh!!! What should I do?! This guy is starting to talk nonsense!
Sanada roared, "Kirhara!!"
Kirihara Akaya dived and was thrown out with a "whoosh" like Moses parting the sea.
Kelp Head, still confused and not understanding the current situation, said: "Eh... Me? Me?"
"But..." Kirihara hesitated to speak, looked at the expressionless first-year student, and then looked at Sanada Genichirō, who was full of anger and about to explode.
Kirihara Akaya: “!!”
He almost cried out: "I will fight him, I will fight him, isn't that okay?"
Kirihara turned around to seek love from his teammates, but when he turned around, all he could hear were "please leave quickly", "please fight with him", and "please save everyone".
Kirihara Akaya: QAQ
He didn't want to bully the younger generation! It wasn't his own will! He was pushed into it by the seniors!
Mission 2: [Please have a friendly sparring match with Kirihara Akaya (0/1)].
Players are ready! Players are ready!!
Kirihara Akaya wiped his face and walked up resignedly.
Kirihara: "Then... let's decide the outcome in one round?"
Kirihara: "I don't know what your level is, so you serve first?"
Kirihara: "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent, right?"
Skip, Skip - Skip all!
Outside the court, everyone was looking at the two people inside. Only Kirihara was talking incoherently. The first-year student opposite him looked at him with lifeless eyes as if silently urging him.
Some people's voices can no longer be suppressed.
"What? That kid... he's too arrogant..."
"Kirihara didn't even respond when I spoke to him. This guy..."
Players just think that NPCs talk too much, hurry up! Players want seeds now!
Kirihara Akaya, who received no response, finally lowered his voice under the dead fish eyes staring at him... Finally, he wiped his face again.
"Shall we begin now?"
Yagi Kei: "..."
Cold violence!!
Kirihara Akaya, with tears welling up in his heart, complained that he was treated coldly and violently by a first-year student!!
Kirihara took out a ball from his pocket and handed it to the other party to signal him to serve, but after a long time, there was no response.
He lowered his head.
Kirihara Akaya: “?”
Kirihara Akaya: “???”
"—No, where's this guy's tennis racket!?!"
It was only then that someone noticed that the first-grader's hands were empty!
The player finally realized something was wrong. Looking at the NPC holding a tennis racket as a weapon, an idea suddenly came to him.
The player opens his backpack and equips the hoe.
Mushroom-headed first-grade student slowly carried out a sharp hoe from behind his back.
[Standard Hoe: One of Grandpa's old tools, it can be used for land reclamation and is a good helper for small farmers!]
Kirihara Akaya took a step back and swallowed his saliva. "You, you're not going to say you want to fight me with that thing, are you..."
——What kind of horror story is this: if you can’t beat him, you have to dig him into the ground!
The player frowned and changed to a shiny sickle.
[Standard sickle: One of Grandpa's old tools, can be used for harvesting, a good helper for small farmers!]
Kirihara Akaya: “!!!”
Kirihara Akaya: "Ah! Deputy Minister! Senior Yanagi!! Help! This is seriously going to kill me!!"
Still wrong?
The player had no choice but to switch to the last empty kettle.
[Standard kettle: One of Grandpa's old tools, it can be used for watering, a good helper for small farmers!]
Everyone stared in amazement at the first-year student on the other side of the tennis net, who was standing expressionless with his hands holding a rusty kettle above his head.
"Is, am I dazzled..."
"Do I see a hoe... or a sickle?"
"But it's clearly a kettle now, where on earth did that guy get it from?!!"
"That's not the point - the point is that he wants to fight Kirihara with the kettle!!"
Eventually, Yanagi provided off-field assistance, handing Yagi Kei one of the club's extra rackets.
[Get Tennis Racket × 1]
New equipment +1!
Liu Chenggong and Kirihara witnessed closely the freshman who received the tennis racket raised the racket high above his head with both hands, and his lifeless dead fish eyes suddenly burst into brilliant light.
willow:"……"
Kirihara: "..."
Is this some special celebration ceremony?
The player grabbed the tennis racket and checked its properties.
[Worn tennis racket: Rikkai University special edition, only appears in substitute situations, for temporary use by Rikkai University members.
Durability: 64
No matter what, once it’s given to the players, it belongs to the players!
The player equipped the tennis racket with one click, and this time it was correct.
The player successfully enters battle mode.
Players begin to explore the battle operations.
Yeah, the health bar and stamina bar appeared.
The player jumps left, right, up, down, rolls on the spot, double jumps, and jogs.
The player holds a tennis racket and swings it repeatedly, leaving afterimages.
Players move back and forth, left and right, all around the field.
The player breathed a sigh of relief. Hi! It was really hard for the player to figure out all the operations!
At this moment, the people outside the venue who witnessed everything: "..."
Kirihara Akaya waited for someone to serve, but all he saw was a dazzling display of moves: "?"
"No, no, what is he doing now?"
"Uh, uh, maybe some kind of... special ritual... maybe?"
The player turned a deaf ear and acted as if he was starting to get serious.
He has received too much stimulation from the opponent today. Although he really wants to respond, Kirihara, whose brain has almost become that of a player, feels that he has been drained and can hardly complain about anything.
He had no choice but to hold the racket tightly and control himself from looking at the first-year student opposite him who was trying to hold the racket face and use the tennis shaft to serve the ball.
...Come, come!
Let's see if this first-year student can really match the skills of the 'world's number one tennis player'!
“——15:0!”
“——30:0!”
“——40:0!”
"New student...oh no, Yagi Keikatsu!"
There was complete silence.
Although I have some guesses about the new students' abilities, after all, being able to say such things should mean that they are at least a little bit better than Kirihara last year.
But now it seems that this new student is a bit scary.
The ball was not fast and had no special features, but it still scored.
Liu narrowed his eyes and opened his notebook to make notes.
Everyone was in a mixed mood, and some who didn't understand the current situation suspected that Kirihara was deliberately releasing the sea.
Kirihara lowered his head and looked at the marks left by the tennis ball on the bottom of his feet.
Gradually, his pupils became bloodshot and turned scarlet.
"I don't believe it. Come again! Another round—this time, I will definitely crush you—!"
"Hey! Akaya! Calm down!!"
"That first-year over there! Don't agree to him!!"
[Please have a friendly sparring match with Kirihara Akaya (1/1)]
Players are checking tasks.
The player heard a buzzing sound and looked down.
[Emergency Mission: Have a friendly sparring match with Kirihara Akaya (1/2)]
Players are delighted!
New quests have appeared! How can players stand still?
Double mission rewards! Players are coming!!
Staring at the tense, serious, worried, and sweaty gazes of the crowd, the dazed black-haired first-year student on the other side of the net moved his eyes.
Yagi Kei: “Oh.”
Everyone's heart tightened, and words of dissuasion stopped on their lips. Some even couldn't bear to watch any longer.
Yagi Kei: "Wait,"
The player glanced at the red face's stamina bar, which was on the verge of the red line and kept shaking because of the player's continuous fancy operations and the five serves in the previous game.
Everyone's heart was in their throat——
"What is he going to do?"
"I don't know? I have no idea what this first-year is up to..."
Kirihara in Red Eyes state: "Huh——?"
The player looked straight ahead and quickly ordered the only food in his backpack. He raised the green apple bubble gum above his head and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.
[Physical Strength: 13/100]
Players are ready! Players can try again!
Everyone in the tennis club: "..."
Kirihara in the red-eyed state: "..."
Although, but,
"No—you can't eat that with the wrapper!"
"And more!! Spit it out! You can't swallow the bubble gum ahh ...
