The Old Baseball Player System

Chapter 39: Star Store

Unable to enter the arena, Shun went to the second new feature of the system, the Star Store.

[Star Store:

The user can earn stars according to their performance in matches. The user's stars can be exchanged for rewards.

Stars: 0

Bronze Reward = 10 Stars

Silver Reward = 100 Stars

Gold Reward = 1000 Stars

Legendary Reward = 10000 Stars

The user can exchange as many rewards as they want as long as they have the necessary stars.]

"This looks good, although I don't know how hard it will be to earn these stars." - Shun wasn't too excited about the new feature, even though it seemed good, he knew there was no way the system would give him good rewards for free, so he decided to wait until the afternoon game to understand better how this Star Store worked.

"Hmm, I should check my missions." - The boy remembered that he had completed part 1 of the main mission the previous night, and he was curious to see what the next part would be. Well, he was also a little afraid of receiving another ridiculous and impossible mission.

"Damn!" - Shun almost jumped out of bed, he couldn't believe the rewards he was seeing.

"Potential upgrade, by the name, that's exactly what I need! Not only that, a random legendary skill and a random SS-grade elixir! Don't tell me the system finally decided to be nice to me?" - The boy was clearly excited, each of these rewards was great, and on top of that, there were so many of them. He really thought the system had changed and become nicer.

"I'm already used to doing 100 pitches and 500 swings every day, and even without the mission, I already planned to increase my overall rating. The only problem is these last two requirements, I'll have to enter the arena tonight to check this out more." - He was a little worried about these two items, but thinking that the system had changed for the better, he quickly dispelled those thoughts.

"Hahaha! This should be easy, I don't need to worry about it! Thank you, System, I promise to make good use of these rewards in a year, hahahahaha!" - Shun got up excitedly while laughing, the boy left his room and went for his morning run.

* 2 hours later *

Shun was returning home humming. The boy had just run 15 km, but he didn't seem tired at all. After doing the same training for 2 months, Shun got used to the routine, and even though it wasn't easy training, he could complete everything without looking like a zombie afterward. Of course, a big part of that is due to his improved physical conditioning and his quirk, Divine Recovery.

The boy was in a good mood, today was the day of the first game of the Tokyo tournament, and his mother and little sister were going to watch him. Shun was confident that he would put on a good show for them. In fact, after the great results in the practice games, the boy believed it wouldn't be too difficult to win the entire tournament.

Shun entered the house and quickly went upstairs to wash up. When he came down, he was already dressed in his school uniform.

"Good morning!" - He said with a smile as he sat down at the table.

"Bro! Good morning!" - Little Yumi looked in his direction and gave a big smile while speaking excitedly.

"Hey Shun, the Tokyo tournament starts today, right?" - Shun's beautiful twin sister, Mika, said with a smile.

"Hm, our first game is this afternoon after school." - Shun nodded while eating.

"Good luck!" - Shun was surprised to hear his sister wishing him good luck so honestly, normally, she would tease him a bit. But as Shun was thinking about this, he heard his sister's voice again.

"You know, I think I'm free today. Mom said she's going with Yumi to watch your game, maybe I should go too. I was thinking of inviting Hana, what do you think?" - Mika said with a smile as she looked at Shun as if waiting for an answer.

"Eh? Invite… Hana… To my game…" - The poor boy didn't expect to hear his crush's name out of nowhere, unfortunately for him, his whole face turned red as he stammered, not knowing what to say.

"Hahahahaha!!" - Mika couldn't hold back after seeing her brother's reaction, the girl laughed loudly while holding her stomach.

"Mika, stop teasing your brother." - Shun's mother, Aiko, came out of the kitchen, but she couldn't hide her smile after seeing her son so embarrassed. She was doing her best not to burst out laughing like her daughter.

Shun noticed all of this and just lowered his head, embarrassed, eating silently.

He quickly remembered that today also had senior league games, and his sister would be with the Tokyo Nakano senior. Realizing that she had tricked him, he felt like hitting himself, he couldn't believe his own stupidity.

At that moment, a figure with green eyes and blonde hair appeared in his mind.

"It would be nice if Hana came to my game to cheer for me." - Shun thought silently, starting to imagine Hana cheering for him like Mio cheered for Kenta, and he couldn't help but give a silly smile.
