and Makoto Tsukimoto, who grew up together, belong to the Katase High School ピンポン team. Hoshino is strong and has considerable confidence in winning. He also holds the dream of going to the European professional arena and aiming to be the world's No. 1 player. However, he has an unrestrained personality and loves freedom, but he often skips the team's practice. Although it is not good, it attracts the anger of the seniors in the team. Tsukimoto is silent and introverted by nature. He was bullied by nearby children when he was a child. Hoshino helped him. The two agreed that if Yue was in a difficult situation, Hoshino would turn into a hero to save him as long as he called "Heroes" three times in his heart. From then on, Tsukimoto regarded Hoshino as a hero in his heart, and learned ピンポン ball with him.
Tsukimoto has a very high talent, the school team coach Koizumi, the national high school league's winning general, Kazema Ryuichifrom Haiwang High School , and an international student from China, a student from Tsujido High School. Kong Wenge, are very concerned about his performance. However, Tsukimoto did not take playing ピンポン ball as a life goal, which was a very wrong choice. He had no intention of pursuing victory, and was very troubled by the coach who repeatedly asked him to receive special training.
Soon the qualifiers for the National High School League will begin. Although full of confidence but absent-minded, Hoshino lost to another childhood playmate, Sakuma Gakuof Haiwang High School . Yueben once suppressed Kong Wenge in the competition, but he did not do his best because of the situation of his opponent, and was also eliminated. After the game, Hoshino was depressed and avoided playing balls and went to the game hall; Tsukimoto fulfilled his agreement with the coach and had to start special training. At this time, Sakuma, who hoped to be recognized by the respected senior Kazama, came to Katase High School and challenged Tsukimoto, but was completely defeated due to the gap in strength. Sakuma, who dropped out of the school team, met Hoshino, persuaded him to continue playing, and told him the need to give his best. After Hoshino woke up, he followed his mother-in-law in Tamura's ballroom where he used to go as a child to start exercising again. Due to talent and hard work, he gradually regained his best state and mastered new skills. A trusting relationship was established, and he began to actively cooperate with the training.
Time flies, the sun and the moon are flying, and the second year's National High School League preliminaries are about to begin. It is also an opportunity for Yueben to make up for last year's mistakes. Tsukimoto successfully entered the finals, and Hoshino also defeated Kong Wenge, who had given him zero points at the first meeting. All the way to the semi-finals, he met the strongest opponent Fengja, but his knees started to hurt due to excessive exercise. Tamura's mother-in-law persuaded him to abstain, but Hoshino understood that he had escaped for too long, and he had waited too long for Tsukimoto, who had always believed in him, so he participated in the competition regardless of the pain. In the face of a strong enemy, Hoshino's knee injury became a serious obstacle, and the game came to a critical juncture. Hoshino sent a distress signal to Tsukimoto, calling for "hero participation" in his heart, and under the encouragement of friendship, he surpassed himself, regained his state, and won the game as a returning hero. Finally, Hoshino and Tsukimoto made the cut and stepped into the finals with a tacit understanding
