Chapter 5 - Sign up

"My bad, apologies." Hezekiah lowered his eyes, with all the noise happening in the background, and lay his head on top of the table. It's naptime. Hezekiah has a habit of sleeping in class, and that's how it has always been, but since he was smart, the teacher didn't complain.

"Stand up!" The class president shouted

The students stood up and greeted "Good morning, madam. Good morning, madam.

This shout causes Hezekiah to be clear-headed, the little sleep he was trying to get disappeared in an instant, and he looks at them with amusement. During this twenty-first century, who will stand and bow when greeting a teacher? This world is something else. Just thinking about him doing the same thing every morning, hurt his head.

"Good morning, class." The teacher responded "It's okay Zhou Jiang. You just returned, and you don't know our school yet. Li Mei, could you please show him around after school?" The teacher asked Li Mei

"Okay." She answered shyly

[Teacher] "Let's begin the class.

Hezekiah turned to look at the girl called Li Mei, and as soon as he did, their eyes met, it seemed like she was staring at him the whole time. He smiles, Li Mei blush and avoid Hezekiah's eyes embarrassedly

When he was wondering what happened to the girl that made her face red, The system voice suddenly rang out in his mind …

[Ding, The female lead Li Mei affability level increase by 10, current affability level is 15. ]

Zhou Jiang: "?"

[I only stared at her. Even that can increase the affability level?"]

[Host, you've got it wrong. It's because you helped her yesterday. And she's really grateful.]

[You mean the young miss yesterday was the female lead?"

[That explains it]

… 

[Bell tolling]

"Zhou Jiang." A boy tapped on Hezekiah's shoulder "You are Zhou Jiang, right?" He asked

"What's up?" Hezekiah opened his eyes and asked the person standing in front of him.

"Go sign up for the Tennis Team." 

"You are…"

Oh, that's right he hasn't introduced himself. 

The boy scratched his head embarrassedly. "You can call me Xiao. I'm Han Xiao. You like playing tennis, right? This tennis team is awesome. Don't look down on me. I've been playing tennis for three years. And I was professionally trained. So I'm very hopeful."

Hezekiah sighed, this guy talked a lot. All he asked for was his name and he's explaining his experience.

"Follow me this way." Han Xiao

Finally!

💮💮💮

[New information unlocked!

You will receive 10, 000 points for every mission you complete. When you accumulate one million points, you will be able to revive yourself.]

[Revive me? Didn't I die already?] This system information isn't reliable. 

[Actually, the Master System saved you, but now you are only a vegetable in the hospital.]

[I see.]

[You will also receive cypress coins when the system store is open, you will use the coins to buy things you need.]

Hezekiah was about to respond when he saw the female lead coming towards him.

"Excuse me, the teacher told me to show you around the school, but I can see that you're busy. If you have any issues, just call me. This is my phone number." She spoke softly and gently as she passed the card to Hezekiah 

`What a smart move.' Hezekiah silently thought and smiled, "Thanks, I got it!" 

The female lead of this world was truly worthy of being the female lead, with many tricks up her sleeve.

[That girl Li Mei is pretty. If I was asked to give her points for her beauty, I will give her 9/10.]

[Host, you must remember your mission! The one we want to take the strategy is the male lead! Male lead! The male lead is even more beautiful than her!] The system reminded Hezekiah 

Hezekiah glanced at the thing and spilled out two words, [Shut up!]

However, this Male lead  …" Hezekiah frowned as he recalled the information in his memory. He had never been in a relationship before and was still young. This Zhou Jiang is only fourteen years old, the age of Hezekiah.

… 

"Is this the tennis club?" When they arrive, Hezekiah walk to the desk and asked

"Yeah. How may I help you?" 

"I would like to join."

"Welcome, welcome! Fill in this form, first."

"Here" Hezekiah sign up the form and hand it to the Man

"Zhou Jiang, what's your reason for joining?"

"I like playing tennis and also love to win'!" Hezekiah smile at the man

"According to the captain, the players will be divided into four groups. The result of the school contest will determine the main player for the regional qualifier. Rookies will play for the last spare space. You can try out as well." The man suggested. He is the manager of the tennis club

"Thanks for the updates, sir."

"The tryout will be tomorrow."

"Okay, That last space will be mine. Believe it!"

"Hey, don't go ahead of yourself. Where did you leave me? I will be the one taking that space."

"Oh, you're still here," Hezekiah said As if just recognizing Han Xiao existing

The manager laugh
