Shun was distracted, looking out the window. He had no friends in this class besides Kenta, so without him here, there was no one to talk to. While Shun was distracted by the window, he heard the sound of the chair next to him being pulled out. He quickly looked to the side and spoke excitedly.
"Kenta, you finally arrived!" - That was Kenta Kobayashi, 1.60 meters tall, black hair and eyes, a symmetrical face, and a serious expression. But before he could hear his friend's response, the system's voice sounded in his head.

"SHUN!" - Kenta shouted, making everyone in the classroom look in their direction. For some reason, after Shun called his name, he just stared at him with a confused look. After being ignored a few times, Kenta lost his patience and shouted, waking his friend.
"Huh? Why are you shouting, Kenta?" - Shun was startled by the sudden shout.
"Why? You idiot, you're messing with me! First, you call my name, then you start ignoring me. You're lucky I didn't punch you," - Kenta said angrily. He really thought his friend was messing with him.
"Hmph. That's good. I was seriously thinking about beating you until you returned to normal, haha." - Kenta was happy to see his friend back on track and let out a joyful laugh.
"Huh? Beating me? You're joking, right? Hehe." - Shun was scared to hear that, but after seeing Kenta laughing, he believed it was just a joke and laughed with his friend.
However, Kenta stopped laughing and looked at him with a serious face before saying - "I'm not joking. I was really planning to beat you."
Shun stopped laughing and looked bewildered before letting out a "huh?" Kenta couldn't hold it anymore and started laughing again. Shun watched his friend laugh. He really couldn't tell if he was serious or not.
The two friends attended classes and, after eating their lunches, headed towards the baseball field. While walking together, Shun started thinking again about Kenta's stats he had seen earlier in the morning. He looked at Kenta and asked the system to show his stats.

"He's way better than me, huh? He's better in all the stats, even in Overall Potential. Well, that's good. Kenta is a shortstop. He can really make a difference in our defense if he's playing well. He's also a great batter.
Hehe, I can't fall behind." - Shun's thoughts were interrupted by a familiar sight. They had arrived, the school's baseball field.
