Arriving at Incheon National Airport, reporters crowded the airport for the arrival of the Nishimura family. They rose to fame because of the family's son, the Prince of the Badminton World. Nishimura Riki. Born in 2005, he is the youngest international Badminton Champion in the Youth Category. Having many achievements attached to Riki's name, the one thing he didn't like was the fame that came along with it. A humble boy since birth, he couldn't bear having so much praises. Rushing out of the airport, they managed to get to their new home safely.
Thankfully, after much planning, the family had their son Riki to learn Korean in 6 months while training, as well as getting a new home in Korea. In the car, Riki's father get a phone call, from the Coach of Korea's Badminton Team. "Yes, we will visit your training centre on Saturday, thank you." Riki's father hangs up.
"What is it, dad?" Riki asks. "We are visiting Korea's Badminton Training Centre tomorrow, rest well tonight, ok?" Riki nods, the family reaches home and they prepare for the next day.
The next day, Riki's father and Riki makes their way to the training base, as Riki looks at it in awe. "Hi, you must be Mr Nishimura, I'm Coach Lee-In, nice to meet you," The coach calls out. "Yes, hi, this is Nishimura Riki, my son. Riki, this is Coach Lee-In." Riki bows in respect, still looking at the place in awe. Following the coach, they had a tour around the place, before proceeding to the office for administration.
"So, I assume that Riki here is planning to play badminton professionally. right?" Riki nods in return, before the coach asks for Riki's father to let them talk for a moment. "Riki ah, what is your main goal in playing badminton?" Coach Lee-In asks. "I want to be the best badminton player in the world. To show that badminton is not a weak sport, and that badminton is fun." Riki says, with a smile. Afterwards, the coach gives him a contract to sign, officially being a player for Korea's National Team.
Bringing Riki around the base, he was in awe at the facilities of the base, as well as the courts that had air conditioner, with other facilities that would suit every athlete's needs. Finally completing the tour only for Riki, a team of 6 boys come to greet him. They look young, but they definitely looked older than Riki. "Hi, you must be Riki, right?" A boy with green eyes spoke. Riki nods, before shaking hands with all of them. "I'm Junghoon, this is Ji Hyun, Sunwoo, Dong Hyun, Sung Ho and lastly, Jeongwook." They said hi to Riki one by one, patting his head as they were all in their 20s. The team goes to start their training, and Riki just bids them goodbye before going back to his father.
Before leaving, the coach introduces Riki to the team's manager, and how he is now a new member. Giving Riki his new schedule for training, he was also given his team jacket for training and competitions. Before leaving the base, Riki realises his name didn't sound korean, "Actually coach-nim, call me Niki. Niki sounds better."
