Spring. The Hatase High school gymnasium. Table tennis club adviser Koizumi Jo notices a cut-man with glasses on the team.
He is one of the up-and-comers who joined the team this year, Tsukimoto Makoto (Smile).
Meanwhile, the other up-and-comer Hoshino Yutaka (Peco) is swindling a man at Obaba's Tamura Table Tennis Hall.
I didn't want you to go to that school.
Yo no quería que entraras en esa escuela.
Mas bem que eu não queria 
você naquela escola.
