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.
If he's not here, Ota-san will start griping again.
Pues si no viene, Ota-san se pondrá pesado.
Se ele não aparecer, o sr. 
Ota vai ficar uma fera!
