"Why did it turn out this way? I got a system, and I transmigrated to a world I love. Two happy things achieved at once; I should have been entering the happiest time of my life, so why... why did it turn out this way?" Hiro looked at the cherry blossom tree outside the window, feeling that his life was bleak.
Waking up, he found himself transmigrated to Sobu High School as an exchange student, with a treasure box system that sounded very powerful.
However, the treasure boxes appeared in the hearts of girls!
Excuse me, how does he get treasure boxes from a girl's heart? The answer is simple: make the girls open their hearts.
What does this mean? It means he needs to accumulate a certain level of favorability to obtain a treasure box.
"Someone as upright as me would never, for the sake of a treasure box..."
[A Bronze treasure chest can yield beginner skills or items, a silver treasure chest can yield intermediate skills or items, and a gold treasure chest can yield advanced skills or items.]
The system's notification sound rang out.
Hiro paused for a few seconds, wondering who to start with.
His class was Hachiman Hikigaya's class, Class 2-F.
At a glance, there were three bronze treasure chests, one silver treasure chest, and one gold treasure chest.
"Hmm?" Hiro looked at the owner of the gold treasure chest, carefully observing his face.
Silver-white short hair, an innocent smile, and very cute, but... this is a guy, isn't it? Why does he have a gold treasure chest?
"However, if the target is Totsuka Saika, it might be a bit easier." Hiro stared intently at Totsuka Saika.
Totsuka Saika, who was talking to someone else, noticed a gaze and instinctively looked over, meeting Hiro's eyes.
Totsuka Saika smiled slightly.
Hiro quickly averted his gaze, afraid of falling for him; that would be terrible.
Totsuka Saika was stunned, thought for a moment, and then walked up to Hiro.
"Hiro-kun, you've been a transfer student for a while now, and you haven't joined any club yet, have you? If you don't mind, would you like to come to the Tennis Club?" Totsuka Saika said softly.
"I have no experience playing tennis," Hiro politely declined.
"It's okay; everyone starts with no experience. Would you like to try it with me this afternoon? Just as an experience of club activities?" Totsuka Saika said with a sweet smile.
"Alright then, I'll leave it to you, Totsuka-san." Hiro turned to look at Totsuka Saika, seeing concern in his eyes.
"You're welcome; then it'll be 4 o'clock," Totsuka Saika said, then turned and left.
------
In the afternoon, after school.
Hiro checked the time; it was not yet four o'clock.
"Hiro-kun, sorry to keep you waiting. Let's go straight to the tennis court. Today, all the Tennis Club members have something to do, so it's just me," Totsuka Saika said as he walked out of the classroom and apologized.
"All the Tennis Club members have something to do?" Hiro was a little surprised.
"I'm currently the captain of the Tennis Club. The third-year seniors are preparing for exams. Some of the Tennis Club members are new, and some are like me. Compared to the Soccer Club, we're far behind, and then that incident happened..." Totsuka Saika forced a smile.
"What incident?" Hiro's intuition told him that the gold treasure chest Totsuka Saika possessed might not be difficult to obtain.
"Last month, as soon as the Tennis Club's budget came down, it was lost," Totsuka Saika said, lowering his head.
"Someone stole the Tennis Club's funds?" Hiro frowned.
"No, it's not that; I accidentally lost the money. Although I made up for the money later, I just feel like everyone started to suspect each other, and the Tennis Club activities aren't important anymore," Totsuka Saika waved his hand.
"I see," Hiro suddenly understood.
The truth was that someone must have taken the money, and Totsuka Saika's evasiveness made the Tennis Club members suspect each other. Perhaps there had even been conflicts, and in this situation, it would also affect the mood of other members.
Hiro thought about Totsuka Saika as he arrived at the tennis court with him.
"Hiro-kun, I'll teach you some basic things first, and then we'll start playing," Totsuka Saika handed Hiro a tennis racket.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble," Hiro nodded.
Totsuka Saika's teaching was simple and easy to understand. Hiro quickly learned tennis, but in actual play, he was far inferior to Totsuka Saika.
Totsuka Saika was very serious with beginner-level Hiro, which made Hiro feel a bit of a setback.
It wasn't until sunset, after Hiro was repeatedly defeated by Totsuka Saika, that Saika announced the end with a bitter smile.
"I'm sorry, Hiro-kun, for giving you an unpleasant memory," Totsuka Saika apologized belatedly.
"It's okay. Are you always this serious when you train normally?" Hiro didn't care about winning or losing; it would be a joke if Totsuka Saika, the captain of the Tennis Club, lost to him.
"Yes, I'm very serious with everyone, so they can unleash their true potential," Totsuka Saika replied.
"Totsuka-san, perhaps the reason they don't come isn't because of the money, but because your skills are too good, making them afraid to play against you—or rather, you made them lose their passion for tennis," Hiro said.
"How is that possible? I'm always thinking of everyone," Totsuka Saika said in disbelief.
"No, you're only thinking about the Tennis Club. Have you considered how they view tennis? They might have joined the Tennis Club just for fun, but you want to improve their tennis skills. If they can't keep up with your progress, even if you don't say anything, they'll start to think about giving up," Hiro said, word by word.
"This..." Totsuka Saika was stunned, carefully recalling the past of those team members. It seemed they all started playing tennis casually.
Ever since he became captain, wanting to compete with other schools, he began to systematically improve their tennis skills without considering their feelings at all.
"It looks like you understand now, Totsuka-san. It's not too late," Hiro smiled.
"Thank you, Hiro-kun," Totsuka Saika bowed.
Hiro's eyes widened, looking at the gold treasure chest on the ground. Was that all it took?
Totsuka Saika hurried away, and Hiro approached the gold treasure chest, placing a hand on it.
[Do you want to open the gold treasure chest?]
The system's notification sound rang out.
"Open," Hiro said without hesitation.
[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!]
"Three-Tomoe Sharingan?!" Hiro gasped.
In this world, is it really okay to acquire such a superpower?
The One-Tomoe Observation Eye, the Two-Tomoe Copy Eye, and the Three-Tomoe Genjutsu Eye—possessing all three makes one practically invincible!
If it were the Mangekyo Sharingan, Hiro would worry about consuming pupil power and going blind.
However, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan only consumes spiritual power; a good night's sleep should fix it.
