Super Spark of Duper Pride [OB] - Act I: Motivation

1-M: Kouta Hayashi's Plan (Runner 2)

Runner 2:

This is...interesting.

And I don't mean being reborn.

I mean, for whatever reason, everything is in slow motion.

Weirder still, I am seeing the present and the past at the same time with them overlapping in my vision.

Or is it actually the present and the future?

The sounds seem to match with the delayed vision, so it's probably present and future.

This is all so confusing.

In my past life, I didn't really stand out at all.

I was usually just a quiet boy that only spoke when spoken to.

I just didn't have a personality, nor did I pretend to have one.

Well, unless you count liking table tennis as a personality trait.

...

Yeah no, that doesn't count.

I guess I wanted to stand out anyway, which is why I focused on sports so much.

To give myself something to stand out with, so I didn't become another forgettable face in the crowd and it kind of worked.

But now? I seem to have been reborn as a farm boy in the countryside.

Like, the opposite of standing out.

Sigh...

Well, one advantage I do have is that I have memories of my past life.

And since I get to start over as a baby, I get to train myself from get go at day one.

I have already managed to crawl around, which really seems to surprise my parents.

Actually, they look worried.

But whatever, I don't really care.

I am gonna make it big in this second life.

Watch out world! I am gonna be famous!
