When Reo woke up the next morning, he was full of energy.

He was gonna challenge Nishimura today and win!

Mainly, it wasn't a personal vendetta or anything but Reo realized that if he could win rewards in tournaments, then he could surely win another skill just by winning against Nishimura.

The very thought of gaining new skills while treating Nishimura like a juicer was disturbing and also exciting to Reo at the same time.

However, the system just had to spoil his fun.

[Don't even think about it, you brat! You think it's that easy to gain Rare Grade Skill?!]

[You merely got lucky thanks to the bonus from yesterday so don't get too complacent!]

Reo felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. The system was always bringing bad news when he least wanted it.

"Then how do I get those Rare Grade Skills? If I can get them by today, I might even be able to win against Kotaro or even Mité since I have over 2 Rare Grade Skills", Reo said excitedly.

The system was just speechless at Reo's words.

This brat had become too cocky!

[Hmph! Even if their talent is still developing, they are too far above you to even reach!]

[Even though their talent right now might be around 'C' or even 'C+', it is way too high for you to even reach!]

[Remember that you are only a 'D+'! And what does 'D' stand for?! It stands for DONKEY you brat! Now shut up and go to school!]

With that, the system deactivated itself as it left Reo spewing curse words into the air.

However, left with nothing to do, Reo could only reluctantly change into his school attire and walk towards school like every other student.

When he arrived at the school gate, he didn't know whether it was fate or fortune but coincidentally, he saw bot Nishimura and Mikasa walking towards the school gate at the same time.

'This is the perfect chance!', Reo thought as he quickened his steps.

In the meantime, Nishimura was talking to one of his friends.

"I seriously hate waking up in the morning. Can't they have school at night? Everyone stays up at night", Nishimura grumbled to his friend.

"Nishimura-kun, school has to be in the morning. Otherwise, people would be too sleepy to come to school", his friend explained with an exasperated look.

He had to deal with this almost every single day but he always kept his cool and never shouted in frustration. Mainly because he didn't want to get beat up by Nishimura.

Instead, he found the chance to divert the topic.

"Ah, Nishimura-kun. How is that challenge from Reo going on? Are you prepared?"

Nishimura immediately had a frown on his face as his initial sleepiness had worn off.

"Prepare?! What is there to prepare for?! That idiot was simply talking big when he wanted to challenge me! I bet that he wouldn't even turn up on the court much less challenge me again!", Nishimura said grumpily.

Just where did Reo get his guts from to even dare challenge him in the first place. He didn't like basketball so there was no way that he could have ever played it, right?

However, right at that moment, a loud shout came from behind the duo.

"Nishimura, I want to challenge you today!"

Crack!

Nishimura felt his veins bulge in annoyance.

He recognized that annoying voice anywhere. It was that bastard, Reo!

He actually wanted to challenge him today?! Good!

Then, he would give him a good beating way earlier! This can also be considered his good luck charm before the exams!

Then, just as he turned around to yell at Reo, he froze in his tracks.

Standing behind him with a gleam of excitement in his eyes and his hands on his hips, Reo would have certainly looked dashing if it was any other time.

However, there was something wrong with his face!

Reo had peeled off the bandage from yesterday which made that dark purple bruise visible to all and coupled with Reo's peachy skin, it looked quite comedic.

Reo didn't know but his cool pose had just been severely downgraded all due to his face. His wonderfully handsome face had been disfigured all because of that elbow from Mibuchi.

If Reo knew how he looked right now, he would have definitely hunted down Mibuchi for compensation!

It was not only Nishimura. All the students at the gate had been attracted by Reo's shout earlier and were now staring at that gigantic blotch on Reo's cheek.

At the same time, they couldn't help but wonder.

'Did someone finally beat this idiot up for being too annoying?'

When Mikasa saw Reo trying to act cool but failed miserably, she hurriedly hid her face like she was afraid of being associated with Reo.

However, it was unfortunate that Reo saw Mikasa and upon sight, he began waving at her.

"Oi, Mikasa. Yesterday was quite fun, right?"

When Mikasa heard Reo calling for her, she immediately stiffened up.

'You dummy! Why are you calling me?!',she exclaimed in her mind.

When everyone heard Reo's words, their gaze immediately sharpened like a hawk's as they stared at Mikasa.

These two actually spent time together outside of school?! Why did they not know about this?!

Just what exactly were they up to by being alone together?!

Their eyes reddened as numerous thoughts poured into their heads but none of them were good.

At the same time, Reo let out a loud sigh as he pointed to his bruise.

"Man, it sure was rough yesterday. Who would have known that I would end up like this just because we did that yesterday"

When the crowd heard that, they felt like they had been possessed by the Oni as they wanted to send Reo to the shredder immediately.

'Rough?! Because of what you did yesterday?! Bastard, it better not be what I think it means!', the hearts of all the male students pounded furiously as they glared murderously at Reo.

Meanwhile Mikasa face's was beet red. From the number of times that she had blushed this week alone, she was sure to have high blood pressure at this late.

Without wasting any time, Mikasa called out her signature curse.

"Reo, you big pervert!", Mikasa yelled as she ran away like a grieving young lady.

Reo was stunned when he heard that.

He was talking about his condition so how did he become a pervert again? Was this the new trend among youngsters?

As for the rest of the students, their hearts of justice flared when they heard Mikasa's confirmation.

Since she called Reo a pervert, it must mean what they thought it meant!

Nishimura who was the quickest to recover, immediately threw his bag down in rage.

"Bastard, you wanted a challenge right?! Come! If I win, you must never talk to Mikasa-chan ever again!", Nishimura yelled.

Reo froze when he heard that.

Where did the extra stipulation come from?

Of course, Reo was sure that he was going to win but at the same time, would Mikasa hate him for accepting such a condition?

As Reo thought about this, he couldn't help but feel proud of himself. He was genuinely a man with high EQ.

However, if only he knew....

So, scratching the back of his head, Reo said in an awkward manner

"I'm fine with it but you have to ask Mikasa's permission first. If she agrees then I'm good as well"

Hearing Reo say this, Nishimura showed a cruel smile.

There was no way Mikasa would reject it. He could tell by the way she was running away from Reo.

"If that's the case, let's go to the gym right now! We will use the court there and I will kick your ass before class starts!", Nishimura pointed at Reo and immediately walked past the gates.

When the other students heard this, they were delighted. They were finally going to separate this parasite from their school flower once and for all.

So, with thundering steps, they all rushed towards the school gym to get a proper front row seat for the beatdown that was about to come.

Reo was speechless about this whole thing. Too many people wished him misfortune in this school.

At this moment, he kind of wished that elementary school would finish soon so that he didn't have to see these fake 'justice enforcers' anymore.

Still, Reo didn't say anything as he trailed behind their backs towards the school gym.

At the entrace, Nishimura's friend was sighing at Nishimura's foolishness.

'Even if you're angry, why must you throw your bag? Now, I have to get it for you', he couldn't help but grumble internally as he walked towards where Nishimura had thrown his bag.

However, when he bent down to pick up that bag, he heard hurried footsteps coming from in front of him.

Looking up, he saw that it was Nishimura's other buddy, Nakamura as he ran towards school with a panicked expression on his face.

When Nakamura saw Nishimura's other buddy, he couldn't help but calm down a bit. Still, he looked jumpy as hell.

"Sawamura, you will not believe what I just found on JSport last night!", Nakamura yelled out as he took out his phone from his pocket.

JSport was Japan's top video sharing app in this world which was similar to Weibo from Reo's old world. Except this app only covered Japan and like the name suggested, it was only for sports or mainly basketball.

It was mainly used for basketball highlights seen by passerby's incase they found someone doing something amazing. It was even used to broadcast certain matches like Ebisu's Street Ball Rumble or even the Nationals.

Putting it in simple terms, it was Japan's biggest hotspot for anything related to basketball.

When Sawamura saw Nakamura take out his phone, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

'Rich fool',Sawamura was jealous.

Most parents would only buy phones for their children once they entered middle school so for a student to be having a phone in elementary school meant that either the parents were very rich or they simply spoiled their children.

Sawamura knew that it was the previous reason for Nakamura.

"Here, take a look at this!", Nakamura said as he quickly opened the JSport app and went to a video that he previously saved on his playlist.

When Sawamura saw the contents, he was a bit surprised as he asked Nakamura.

"Isn't this the weekly Street Ball Rumble in Ebisu? Why are you showing me this?"

Nakamura didn't care about Sawamura as he gestured to the screen.

"Look at the title"

When Sawamura saw the title, it took a while before his eyes widened in shock. It was because the title brought about an important message.

'Elementary school newbie wrecks the Loose Cannon!'

Sawamura knew who the Loose Cannon was as he had been a rising star in the past year and soon got the title bestowed upon him for his formless play.

However, at this very moment, the video said that the Loose Cannon got wrecked instead!

How could he believe this?

But when he saw the video's description, he got an even bigger shock.

A score of 5-1 in favor of the new dark horse! This was simply phenomenal!

This meant that if the dark horse had been a bit more careful, he could have ended the game with a 5-nil score instead!

As Sawamura rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not hallucinating, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is this dark horse?".

Seeing Sawamura come to the very thing that he wanted to say, Nakamura quickly started the video up.

"You better prepare yourself. Even I didn't believe it when I first saw it", Nakamura said in a low tone.

Sawamura looked at Nakamura weirdly.

'Wouldn't believe what I see? Does that mean that this dark horse has some really good skill?', Sawamura couldn't help but become interested as he watched the video.

However, once the video progressed, he was stunned because right there on the screen....was Reo!

'This must be one of the earlier matches. He must be trying to participate in it to practice for his challenge against Nishimura-kun', Sawamura panicked but he quickly consoled himself with logic.

However, as the video went on, Sawamura felt his heart beating rapidly.

'Behind the back crossover, a clean fake and an aggressive dribble! What the f*ck was all this?!', Sawamura couldn't help but curse internally.

Since when was Reo so good in basketball?! Could this video be edited?!

No, that couldn't be. Because when Sawamura saw the comments section, there were countless people who were bragging about being there in person to witness the rise of a new star.

'A star! Reo is actually a star!', Sawamura thought with dread.

He had gone to participate in the Street Ball Rumble only once before but had gotten terribly wrecked in the first round itself. After all, the Street Ball Rumble was an opportunity for the greatest young talents in Shibuya City to showcase their talents.

Not mentioning the regular players, a star was even more unbeatable to Sawamura. He would probably even lose before he could finish blinking!

When Nakamura saw that Sawamura was speechless, he immediately conveyed his thoughts.

"Now do you know why I was in such a hurry? Reo has been fooling us all this time!"

"That idiot is not only smart but has insane basketball skills as well! He has been pretending to be dumb and hate basketball but the truth was that he was secretly hiding his potential from us!", Nakamura got a bit agitated when he thought about this.

He was in Reo's class after all and remembered the scene from when Reo said that there was no reason to showcase his skills because they were all too weak.

'Could the same thing also apply for his basketball skills as well? If that's the case, then this bastard is simply looking down on us!', Nakamura thought angrily.

This was not the first time this happened so his tolerance level was already reaching it's limit. After all, he was a hotheaded person like Nishimura.

"This is why we have to warn Nishimura-san. Once he knows how good Reo is, we can surely back out of the challenge with many types of excuses"

"Thankfully, Reo only challenged Nishimura-san at the end of the month. If it was today, things would surely get disastrous", Nakamura felt relieved when he said this.

When Sawamura heard this, he felt his face go pale instantly because that was indeed what had happened.

"Actually....Reo just challenged Nishimura-kun a few moments ago. They are in the school gym as we speak", Sawamura muttered weakly.

Nakamura immediately stumbled as his phone nearly crashed onto the floor.

"He really challenged Nishimura-san today?! Fuck! Why didn't you tell me this sooner?!"

"Come on, we still have a chance to stop this challenge!", Nishimura roared.

With that, both elementary school students rushed into the school compound to stop the challenge before Reo could thoroughly humiliate Nishimura.

Reo on the other hand, didn't know that at this moment, he had currently gone viral in the area of Shibuya City.
