Su Pang walked into the cafeteria scanning the crowds for his friend Xu Delun. The friendship between the two was peculiar to any looking in front of the outside. Su Pang is loud and bubbly whereas Xu Delun is relatively quiet.
"Guess who?" A voice thrilled as a pair of hands cover Xu Delun blue eyes
"Su Pang." Xu Delun said unimpressed. He saw Su Pang sneaking up behind him but it would not be too kind to dodge.
"You're no fun." Su Pang pouted as he released his hands, bouncing into Xu Delun's line of sight.
"I just thought you would be the only one who dared to do that all the time. What's up?" Xu Delun was not in the mood to fool around with Su Pang and got straight to the point.
Su Pang frowned: "Whatever! Let's go practice, I hear there's a new freshman who won the tryouts and will be joining us today."
"Sure."
The two walked side by side

[Hum Humm Humm ahhh] The system hum happily.
[Why is Bobo still happy about the Male lead affability?] Hezekiah asked, seeing system as been singing since yesterday.
[Host even called my name, today is a good day.]
[Bobo, you had a host before right? How was the mission with him/she?]
Hezekiah's Sudden question drabs the system mood.
[Come on, tell me.] Hezekiah became interested in the system depression.
[I had a host, but our first mission failed…] The system was hesitating. It didn't want to continue which makes Hezekiah more curious.
[Tell me about, Bobo. In case we make the same mistake. ] Hezekiah tries to persuade the system.
The system took a deep breath and continued. [You are my second host. My first host is a guy about 22 years old. During that time, I was just made. He was gentle and caring. He always listens to me. Our first mission was in ancient times. … The host target was the demon king. To make the demon king love him and chase away the female lead.
That world was where demons, beasts, and cultivators lived. And the original owner, the host took over, was a low-level cultivator. We managed to get the female lead 100% of hatred in a short period. But the Male lead was scary.
He was a person who killed thousands of people in one night. As a system with human emotions, I was frightened and instructed my host to get the Male lead support. I told him to seduce the male lead.
With my guardian, the host got into the demon king room successfully. After a few hours, the male lead didn't come and the host fell asleep. When the demon king came back and saw someone on his bed, he smiled coldly and waved his hand.
This system barely has time to react before the host dies. The mission failed and the host was struck by lightning twice as punishment. From then on, the host said he didn't want Bobo anymore, so the master gave him System Momo and asked Bobo to get you.]
After hearing what the system said, Hezekiah didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
What kind of dumb strategy was that?
Going into a demon room without his concern?
It's like a blind man walking right into the lion dean.
Seeing the system's sorrowful expression, Hezekiah didn't say anything and let it be, as walk to the field.

"Zhou Jaing." Han Xiao called, waving his hand.
"Han Xiao. What's up?" Hezekiah asked when he reached Han Xiao?
"You are in time. Let me tell you, the captain doesn't like lateness. See, all the seniors are here including the coach." Han Xiao points at the people around
Hezekiah: "Do you have a spare racket?"
Han Xiao: "Yes, I have. Do you need a racket?"
"Hmmm." Hezekiah nodded.
"There's a store downtown that sells sports equipment. I can take you there if you want to." Han Xiao suggested
"Okay, let's do it weekend."
Everyone was practicing on their own.
The training goes on for an hour.
"Line up" The coach shouted
All the players line up.
The coach has a notepad in his hand and calls out the main players' names.
"Bao Lei"
"Here"
"Wen Ning"
"Here."
"Mu Elan"
"Here."
"Xu Delun"
"Here"
"Su Pang"
"Here."
"Zhong Chao"
"Here."
"Bai Lan"
"Here."
Anyone name the coach calls, answer 'here!'
"Zhou Jaing."
"Here," Hezekiah answers and walks to the main player's line.
"Welcome!" The coach said and everyone applaud
"Get back to practice and make use of the next few hours." The coach instructed and left the field.
💮💮💮
"Where's the captain?" Hezekiah asked why practicing with Han Xiao
"The high school tennis tournament is coming up soon. I'm sure the captain is busy with that." Han Xiao said as he passed the ball over the net.
Before Hezekiah could say something, someone else interrupted. "That's right, the captain is serious with the tournament this year. We were so close to winning two years ago, but … we lost." Su Pang shook his head dejectedly
"Seniors." Han Xiao stop playing and said respectfully
Hezekiah Who wanted to ask, 'who are you.' just stood there watching this shameless senior who just joined in their conversation without permission.
Su Pang looked at Hezekiah and his eyes lit up. "Is this our new junior brother? What's your name?"
This senior was there when the coach called his name, so why is he still asking such a dump question?
Forget it, thinking about it wouldn't be of anything used!
"Zhou Jiang." Hezekiah answer respectfully
Su Pang was satisfied with Hezekiah's answer and his smile widened. "I am Su Pang. You can call me senior Pang and this is Xu Delun. Do you know Xu Delun was the one who dragged me here to see our new junior brother?"
"I didn't!" Xu Delun said coldly.
Even without Xu Delun's answer, Hezekiah can tell what Su Pang said is the opposite. Xu Delun was the one being dragged.
"Don't take what he said to heart. Brother Delun is just shy." Su Pang said as if it was obvious
"I'm not." Xu Delun frown
Shy? Don't blame Hezekiah because he can't see it. A person whose face is cold as an ice-cube can be shy?
"Puff, hahahaha." Han Xiao laughed. He never knew these seniors can be so fun and he was always afraid of them.
"How can you not be shy? … however y…." Su Pang continue but was interrupted
Xu Delun frowned deeply, "Quite the nonsense already." He turned to Han Xiao and said. "You must be Han Xiao." Xu Delun said. It was supposed to be a question that came as a statement.
"Yes." Han Xiao answered.
