Chapter 1: Transmigrating into the Tennis World, Awakening the Idle System

(Brain storage area!)

Japan, Kanagawa.

Rikkai Dai Fuzoku Chugaku.

"Takahashi, which club are you planning to sign up for?"

As the new school year began, the freshmen who had just entered Rikkai were all very conflicted about which club to choose.

Located in the Kanto Region, Rikkai Dai Fuzoku Chugaku is a private school with a long history, possessing many clubs, each with its own unique characteristics.

Among them, the most eye-catching is the Tennis Club. Having just won the national championship in the past two years, it is also a perennial victor in the Kanto Region, having already achieved 15 consecutive victories in the Kanto Tournament.

Facing the question from his desk mate Yamamoto Taro, Takahashi Yanichi replied indifferently: "The Tennis Club."

"As expected, Takahashi also wants to go to the Tennis Club; I have the same thought. But I heard that the Rikkai Tennis Club has a high threshold for recruitment and strict training. I've only played tennis for a month, so I'm afraid my strength isn't enough."

Yamamoto Taro's tone revealed a hint of worry and longing.

Takahashi Yanichi, however, had a firm conviction; his goal was the Tennis Club.

Takahashi Yanichi is a transmigrator.

In his past life, he was an ordinary corporate slave in the Dragon Kingdom working from nine to nine, who usually liked to watch various anime.

Last night, before going to sleep, he reviewed the anime Prince of Tennis again; he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his eyes, he would transmigrate into the world of Prince of Tennis.

After accepting the fact that he had transmigrated, he deeply understood that in the world of Prince of Tennis, only playing tennis is the right path; choosing other clubs would turn one into an ordinary passerby.

Therefore, no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, his decision could not be changed.

Hearing the conversation between the two behind him, Kimura Kojiro in front turned his head and joined their conversation with great interest.

"My goal is also the Tennis Club, but I have three years of tennis experience."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Yamamoto Taro praised.

Kimura Kojiro felt very proud listening to his praise. However, not hearing Takahashi Yanichi's words, he curiously leaned his body over.

He saw Takahashi Yanichi writing away with a pen.

"Application for club entry... Tennis experience: 0"

Scanning the lines, he saw the content that interested him and couldn't help but get excited.

"So you haven't learned to play tennis, but that doesn't matter. With the help of me, Kimura Kojiro, who has three years of tennis experience, you will definitely be able to enter the Tennis Club smoothly."

Kimura Kojiro patted his chest and boasted.

"If we don't go submit the application for club entry now, it'll be too late."

Dropping this sentence, Takahashi Yanichi stood up, held his head high, and strode past them.

"Why is he like that? He has no respect at all for a senior with three years of tennis experience."

Kimura Kojiro muttered with dissatisfaction.

Tennis Club activity room.

As expected of the famous Tennis Club, a long line had formed in front.

"I heard that reforms are being implemented this year; as long as you submit the application for club entry, you can join. An assessment will be held in a month to eliminate those who don't meet the standards."

"Really? I was still worried about being cut today."

"Don't be too optimistic; the Tennis Club's training is very harsh. I heard many students can't stand it and voluntarily propose to quit the club."

"However, our school's Tennis Club is truly awesome. Even if you can't stay, as long as you've spent some time there, you'll have the capital to brag."

Various voices in the queue reached Takahashi Yanichi's ears.

Join first, then eliminate?

That's not bad; otherwise, with his application for club entry showing 0 experience, he might really have been eliminated.

The line quickly reached him, and a kind-looking senior took Takahashi Yanichi's application for club entry with both hands.

"Ding!"

"Host detected, the system is binding."

A cold, mechanical voice rang out in Takahashi Yanichi's mind.

It's the system!

Great!

A must-have for every transmigrator!

Web novels do not deceive me!

"God-level Tennis Idle System has been successfully bound."

"Classmate, is there anything else?"

Takahashi Yanichi's behavior of standing still drew a question from the senior.

He hurriedly walked to the side and left the queue.

"System, tell me your use."

Takahashi Yanichi could not suppress the excitement in his heart.

After some explanation from the system.

Takahashi Yanichi understood that this system was very similar to the idle mini-games he had played in his past life.

In the idle mini-games of his past life, as long as you clicked the mouse and let the character in the game practice automatically, you could harvest the character's practice results after a few hours.

As long as the computer was on and the game was running, you could play.

It is the fighter jet among games, very mature!

Fully automatic leveling!

Freeing the player's hands!

The only drawback is that it consumes a bit of battery and memory.

It can be called a game where you can play and level up just by lying down.

Furthermore, it doesn't matter what time it is or what the occasion is.

You can use the Idle System while at work, during meetings, while eating, or even while sleeping.

As long as you want to, you can use the Idle System anytime, anywhere.

This is truly like being handed a pillow just as you get sleepy; he was just worrying about having zero tennis experience. Although he barely managed to sneak into the Tennis Club today, the assessment in a month is a big problem.

With the Idle System, he can let the Idle Character practice every day to automatically level up his tennis skills; he doesn't need to practice in person at all!

Then, two lines of text appeared in Takahashi Yanichi's mind.

【Serve】

【Return】

Only two options? He was a bit puzzled.

"Do you want to idle-practice Serve?"

Confirm.

Takahashi Yanichi recited silently in his heart.

"Detected that the host is just a beginner at tennis; automatically downloading the corresponding Basic Tennis Knowledge."

"Loading..."

"Loading complete!"

Immediately after, the image in his mind changed completely.

In the center of the screen appeared a Court and a stick-figure Idle Character.

He saw the Idle Character holding a tennis racket in one hand and tossing the tennis ball upward with the other, preparing to swing the racket as the ball fell.

However, the tennis ball had already fallen, missing the racket perfectly.

Uh, Takahashi Yanichi was a bit speechless.

This is truly a pure newbie!

Forget it, forget it, keep a level head.

If one serve doesn't work, and two serves don't work, what about ten serves? What about a hundred?

As long as it doesn't kill you, practice until you drop!

Anyway, he doesn't have to do it himself, so he'll just trouble the Idle Character.

Thinking of this, a slight arc curled at the corner of Takahashi Yanichi's mouth.

"Takahashi-san, wait for me."

The voice of his desk mate, Yamamoto Taro, came from behind.

"Since we both joined the Tennis Club, let's practice together!"

"Strive to win in next month's assessment and not get eliminated."

Yamamoto Taro said with great enthusiasm.

"Yeah, you guys better practice hard. I heard from the seniors that there are too many freshmen signed up this year, far exceeding the regulated number; at least more than half will be eliminated."

"Both of you have little experience, so you need to hurry up and practice."

"We are all classmates, and we all want to join the Tennis Club, so let me, who has three years of tennis experience, guide you; it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort."

Kimura Kojiro talked eloquently.

"That's great, Kimura-san." Yamamoto Taro's face was full of joy.

"Yeah, Kimura-san, you're actually a pretty good guy." Takahashi Yanichi also chimed in.

But Kimura Kojiro always felt that this sounded strange, yet when he thought about it carefully, he didn't know what was strange about it.

"Then let's find a Street Tennis Court to practice!"

Yamamoto Taro couldn't suppress his joyful mood and suggested.

"Let's do it tomorrow! Let's do some preparation today and start practicing tomorrow," Takahashi Yanichi said.

Watching Takahashi Yanichi's figure gradually walking away, Kimura Kojiro said, "What a strange guy."

Yamamoto Taro said, "Not at all, Takahashi-san gives people a feeling of being very impressive."
