"Where am I? Is this hell? But this hell seems way too nice!
There's such a big room, such a big bed, and such fancy decorations!
Ugh, what the hell! Why does my head hurt so much?"
A very young but exceptionally handsome boy propped himself up with one hand and slowly sat up in a large bed!
As he sat up, he muttered under his breath about his aching head.
At last, he managed to sit upright, then carefully looked around!
The room was spacious and seemed to have a very Country R style! He took a closer look at the books on the shelf beside the bed!
Tennis Footwork Basics, Tennis Fundamentals, Profiles of Professional Tennis Players
They were all books about tennis!
Most notably, a poster was stuck to the wall beside the bed. It showed the father of the Prince of Tennis, Echizen Ryoma—Echizen Nanjirou!
Had he transmigrated? Had he come to the world of The Prince of Tennis?
Looking at the poster on the wall,
he shook his head. It felt as if his brain were about to explode, and a flood of memories poured into Yun Chuan's mind.
It took about a minute for him to recover!
It turned out the original owner of this body was named Chiba Yun Chuan (from here on, he would be referred to as Chiba Yun Chuan), and he was the only son of Chiba Xiong, head of the Chiba Zaibatsu in Country R!
The Chiba Zaibatsu controlled twenty percent of Country R's economy. It was powerful enough that a single stomp could make the entire country's economy tremble!
And he was the head of the zaibatsu's only son. Good grief, he'd really hit the jackpot!
Yun Chuan hadn't expected to be born into such an incredible family after transmigrating! The only heir to a zaibatsu in Country R!
What's more, he was only twelve years old, and had just graduated from elementary school and was about to enter middle school! In other words, Chiba Yun Chuan was about to start junior high!
From the memories he'd just received, he could tell that this was the world of The Prince of Tennis!
It was the world Yun Chuan had always dreamed of visiting!
As for how Chiba Yun Chuan had injured his head, he'd been playing tennis when a ball came flying at him and hit him, knocking him unconscious. That had injured the original Chiba Yun Chuan's soul, leaving it weak enough for Yun Chuan to take over!
And now he was Chiba Yun Chuan!
In his original world, Yun Chuan had been a university student studying at Yanjing University of Physical Education!
He'd first watched the anime The Prince of Tennis in middle school, and after that, he couldn't get enough of it. He'd fallen head over heels for Atobe Keigo!
He especially loved the way Atobe Keigo spoke. It was just so cool! His line, "You agree, don't you, Kabaji?" had struck Chiba Yun Chuan as especially showy!
Most importantly, The Prince of Tennis had plenty of powerful and talented tennis players,
such as the genius Fuji, Seigaku's Captain Tezuka, Prince of Tennis Echizen Ryoma, and so on.
Yun Chuan had always dreamed of one day transmigrating into The Prince of Tennis, facing them on the court and defeating them one by one, then telling them, "None of you can put up a fight!"
Just as cocky and asking for a beating as Echizen Ryoma's "You still have a long way to go."
Best of all was Hyotei Academy's philosophy: the strong deserved to rule. It was a great principle. Actually, it was the contrast with Seigaku that made the importance of the strong ruling all the more obvious!
While watching The Prince of Tennis, Yun Chuan had hated Seigaku's system the most. Seeing Tezuka constantly stuck in a weakened state had really annoyed him!
Now he had the chance to teach those guys a lesson. Just thinking about it made him excited!
But the school he most wanted to attend was Hyotei. It had truly captured Yun Chuan's heart. What was that saying again?
Join Hyotei, and you'll never go hungry!
Because he loved tennis, Yun Chuan had chosen a sports university! He'd specialized in tennis, hoping to pull off the techniques from The Prince of Tennis in real life.
But he'd never succeeded, not even once. Sometimes his classmates even made fun of him.
They said he'd become obsessed, or something like that.
But Yun Chuan hadn't cared about their ridicule or mockery. He'd kept at it and never given up!
Not until the day he transmigrated.
That day, Yun Chuan had gone out to buy a few things. He was using his phone while crossing the road when a large truck hit him and sent him flying. After a burst of agonizing pain, Chiba Yun Chuan lost consciousness.
But just as he was about to black out, he heard a sound.
"Ding!"
When he woke up again, he was in this bed!
"Ding! The host has regained consciousness. The Strongest Show-off System is now activating!"
When Chiba Yun Chuan heard the voice, he immediately perked up. He'd already forgotten that his head had been hurting!
"A system? I'm not dreaming, am I? Did I really transmigrate? Am I one of those protagonists chosen by a system?
Hahahaha! I knew it! After all my hard work, Chiba Yun Chuan is finally going to rise to the top! I'm the chosen one!"
Before Yun Chuan had even finished speaking, the system had completed its startup.
"Ding! System startup complete. System binding complete!
Since the host showed off before the system had activated, the system must punish him!
However, the host has shown an innate talent for showing off by deciding he is the chosen one. This was far too showy, so the punishment is canceled!"
Hearing the system say that, Chiba Yun Chuan couldn't help sneering at it! But the system was the boss now! He could sneer all he liked, but he still had to rely on it!
The system was his livelihood now. Without it, he'd have to depend on this little body of his, with no talent and no physique.
Trying to survive in this already fantastical world of The Prince of Tennis without it would be incredibly difficult! Of course, if he didn't play tennis, Chiba Yun Chuan would surely live a very comfortable life!
But asking him not to play tennis? He'd rather let that truck hit him one more time!
Maybe he'd transmigrate again and get a better life next time!
"So it's a show-off system? Is it just for showing off? What can you do? What's your purpose?
And where is this?"
"Ding! Host, watch your language!
You must call me the Strongest Show-off System! Otherwise, the system will punish you!
This is the world of The Prince of Tennis, the place the host has longed most to visit.
Since the host was in a car accident, the system decided to stop hiding and bring the host's soul directly to this world!
Also, the host doesn't have to speak aloud to communicate with the system. Just think your words.
The host can think 'Strongest Show-off System' to open the system panel.
Since tennis is the main sport in this world, showing off is limited to tennis.
Special reminder: As long as you're showy enough and can show off, anything is possible!
Go on, young man! Let's go!"
Hearing the system say that, Chiba Yun Chuan was certain this was the world of The Prince of Tennis! This was great!
That system was pretty good at showing off, too. But then again, it was called the Strongest Show-off System!
Still, why did those last few lines sound so weird? He couldn't shake the feeling that the system wasn't very intelligent.
