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.
You look like a middle schooler. 
I can take you.
No me cabe duda de que podría 
derrotar a un mocoso como tú.
Posso vencer uma criancinha como você.
