"Have you made up your mind? Are you sure you want to go to middle school first? In my opinion, middle school tennis is just a bunch of kids playing around. If you trained a little more, your skills would already be good enough to go pro!

"I don't think you should waste your time like this. You should get ready to enter the world of tennis instead. I know it's unbelievable for a first-year middle school student to go pro, but how would you know unless you tried?

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of storm you'll stir up when you go pro!"

Hearing her say that, Chiba Yun Chuan felt that she did have a point. To professional-level players, middle school tennis matches really were just kids playing house.

Of course, there were a few exceptional players among the middle schoolers.

Unfortunately, Chiba Yun Chuan couldn't go pro just yet.

Little did Hana know, Chiba Yun Chuan just wanted to show off in the middle school tennis world! As a Prince of Tennis fan, how could he come to this world without playing against those students?

As far as Chiba Yun Chuan was concerned, the result didn't matter. He was bound to win, but the process would be a blast!

His system was called the Strongest Show-off System. To show off, he had to be stronger than his opponent. Otherwise, what was there to show off? Pretending to be some big shot?

Besides, he still had system missions to complete! He had everything going for him, and now the people he needed were no problem either. Chiba Yun Chuan had already given the order: he was going to Hyotei Academy, and they were to handle his enrollment.

He was already an incoming first-year at Hyotei. Since school hadn't started yet, he wasn't officially a student there!

"Hana, come with me to middle school, and then we'll go to Hyotei together. I've taken care of your credentials because I need your help with something.

"I know you're going back to the professional circuit, but take a little break first. You need time to recover anyway, and teaching those middle schoolers how to play will be fun!

"They're nowhere near my level, of course, but helping them get stronger will be even more fun, won't it?

"I'm definitely going to middle school. I have my reasons. You can try to guess what they are.

"But I can tell you this: you'll never guess what this genius is thinking!"

"Ding! Show-off Value +30!"

After saying that, Chiba Yun Chuan didn't bother waiting for her answer. Even if she said no, she'd have to come!

"I'll go register tomorrow. The day after, you'll come with me. You're the coach of the Hyotei tennis club, Hana!"

After that, Chiba Yun Chuan put down his racket and slowly headed for the washroom. His training was over for the day!

Now he just needed to shower and head back.

Watching Chiba Yun Chuan's retreating figure, Hana's eyes took on a curious glint.

"Brat, who do you think you are? Trying to act cool, too. I can't stand it."

After saying that, she picked up her things and slowly walked out.

Time flew by. Today was the day Chiba Yun Chuan went to register at Hyotei, and he got into the car and headed straight there!

There was hardly anyone at Hyotei Academy now. It was getting late, and Chiba Yun Chuan was already running behind.

Hyotei Academy was an aristocratic school, so almost every student had a car from home to take them to school. It was rare to see anyone walking!

It was a school for the rich. Who'd want to walk and look like a nobody?

A middle-aged man wearing glasses stood at the school gates, apparently waiting for someone.

Before long, a Rolls-Royce slowly pulled up in front of the gates.

After the driver got out and opened the door, a boy in a Hyotei uniform stepped out!

This was our protagonist, Chiba Yun Chuan!

The middle-aged man was Miyamoto Nitou, Hyotei Academy's dean of discipline.

As soon as he saw Chiba Yun Chuan get out of the car, Miyamoto Nitou hurried over and said,

"Hello, are you Young Master Yun Chuan? I'm Miyamoto Nitou, the dean of discipline here. The principal asked me to take you to the teachers' office to register!

"Please come with me."

He spoke with a smile, his cheeks bunching up together!

Hearing him, Chiba Yun Chuan nearly laughed out loud! Gongbei? Nitou?

Wasn't that the guy who could take someone down with one strike?

Ahem, that's off topic. I've wandered into the wrong universe.

Chiba Yun Chuan gave Miyamoto Nitou a glance. His build and physique didn't match the image at all!

Still, Chiba Yun Chuan replied with a simple "Mm" before heading into the school. Seeing this, Miyamoto Nitou hurried to lead the way.

"Young Master Chiba, I'll show you the way. This way, please!"

The reason he was acting like this was that the school belonged to the Chiba family. One word from Chiba Yun Chuan could decide whether he kept his job. How could he not be so deferential?

Today, Chiba Yun Chuan had a tennis bag on his back and wore sneakers. He was fully kitted out!

After entering the school, he looked at the big words "Hyotei Academy" in front of him and shouted in his heart, Hyotei, your god has arrived!

He was incredibly excited.

With his tennis bag on his back, he followed Miyamoto into the academy.

Hyotei really did live up to its reputation as an aristocratic school. Its facilities were all top-notch. They spent ten minutes walking around and looking at everything before reaching the classroom. Class had already started; it was an English lesson.

Chiba Yun Chuan looked up: Class 1, Room 3!

Miyamoto Nitou, walking in front, gave the door a perfunctory knock, then said,

"Sorry to interrupt, Ms. Suzuki. This is Chiba Yun Chuan. Could you find him a seat?"

The teacher was a middle-aged woman. After hearing Miyamoto Nitou, she replied,

"Understood, Dean. Come in."

"Then I'll be going. I hope you enjoy your studies." After saying that, Miyamoto Nitou left.

"You must be Chiba Yun Chuan. Come up and introduce yourself to everyone!

"Come on, everyone, give him a welcome."

A burst of applause immediately rang out from the classroom.

"Wow, who's that? He's so handsome! I think he's way more handsome than Lord Atobe!"

"He's my idol from now on. He's really handsome! And does he play tennis?"

"This guy is so cool! He's ridiculously handsome, and he's so tall, too."

With his handsome looks, Chiba Yun Chuan had already attracted plenty of attention.

Indeed, Chiba Yun Chuan had inherited his parents' excellent genes.

Hearing the teacher say that, he naturally walked up to the podium. A class at a middle school in Country R had only a little over ten students, so the classroom felt rather spacious!

The students below were all wearing brown uniforms. Chiba Yun Chuan thought the color looked a little tacky!

"Hello, everyone. My name is Chiba Yun Chuan. I love playing tennis, and I'm really good at it. I heard this school's tennis club is very strong, so my first goal here is to become the captain of the tennis club!"

As soon as he spoke, the classroom erupted into another round of discussion.
