Level 2 Impact Factor

Nishimura was not in a good mood.

He had proclaimed to the entire school that he would utterly crush Reo in their challenge but so far, he was the one getting crushed instead!

The score was now 4-0 and he had still yet to score.

'How could this fool be so good?! He must have been hiding his skills all along!', Nishimura came to a conclusion.

Just like his amazing intellect, he had purposely hidden his basketball skills just so that he could crush him at the very last moment.

However, Nishimura was confused. Why did this bastard hide all this time?

Was he some kind of pervert who gained satisfaction from beating his opponents in this kind of way?

Still, whatever Reo did was of his own concern. For now, he had to focus on beating this pervert.

Unknowingly to Reo, he had become a pervert once again. If he knew about this, he would have surely retired his life to live as a monk deep in the mountains.

Lets see if anyone dares to call him a pervert then!

But for now, Reo steadily jumped up as he got into a shooting position to make a jump shot.

There was no fake at all as Reo went straight for the kill.

With his Rare Grade Skill, Reo was capable of jumping more than 10 inches of the norm for normal 10 year old students. As such, even if his opponents could react to it, they didn't stand a chance because they couldn't even reach the ball in the first place.

They were only 10 year old students so accurately timing Reo's jump was out of the question. After all, not everyone was like Akashi Seijūrō.

Still, Nishimura couldn't accept it. He couldn't accept being played like this at all!

He lost without getting a single point in! This was more than enough to humiliate him for the rest of his life.

Glaring murderously at Reo, he was unable to find proper words to express his dissatisfaction.

Reo however, didn't care about Nishimura's glare as he waved him off.

"What are you glaring at? You lost so get off the court!"

"There are other people waiting in line"

Nishimura nearly lost it when he heard Reo's words.

"You!!!"

As much as Nishimura wanted to give Reo a severe beatdown, he couldn't do so at all.

His personal honor had been challenged and he had lost the match fair and square. If he were to make a move now, it wasn't even a question if he could get accepted by those basketball clubs once he entered middle school after they looked through his history.

So, as Nishimura gritted his teeth in frustration, Reo had already turned to the crowd of students and pointed at them.

"Who's next?! Come on out!"

However, unlike their initial enthusiasm, all the students began hesitating.

They all saw how easy it was for Reo to beat Nishimura and it was safe to say that while Nishimura was not the best of his year, he was not mediocre either.

To see him get beat in such a dominating manner made them think twice before stepping on the court.

At the livestream, the viewers were going crazy as well.

[Damn! What did I just see?!]

[Ladies and gentlemen, we just saw a man fly! Or rather....a boy]

[Did he really jump that high?! Or was his opponent just bad at jumping?]

[He actually jumped high! If you saw his feet, you will notice that his heels were quite high when compared to the basketball hoop!]

[What the hell?! We must not let such a genius get buried! He might even set a record with his jumping height! Quick! Is there an expert who can verify his jumping height?!]

While all of them were clamoring about Reo's performance, they cared more about his jumping height.

Just by looking at the video, they noticed that Reo had more than a double jump height compared to Nishimura.

As such, they wanted to know just how high he could jump. Maybe he could even set a record?

However, after getting mere estimations from casual viewers who knew nothing about athletic ability or coaching, they began to kick up a fuss.

Reo was from Shibuya City which had been known throughout Tokyo for it's poor performance in basketball. If Reo could set some kind of record, it would be a major bragging right for them whenever they faced people from other municipals.

[Damn it! Can no one tell what his jumping height is?!]

[Screw this! I'm sharing this link to my friends! If it becomes popular, then maybe we can invite an expert!]

[Yes! Great idea! I'll share it too!]

[Me too! Let's get this viral, baby!]

And just like that, Reo's challenge had soon spread all over the internet.

It didn't take long before more and more people came over as they were interested in Reo.

They didn't see his jumping ability before so they could only focus on the present. The title of him challenging the entire school was more than enough to captivate them.

Soon, Nakamura's livestream had soon jumped from 15 viewers to a whooping 1572 in just a few seconds and it was still growing!

1572 viewers!

This was more than enough to give Nakamura a shock when he checked the viewership!

One should know that he only had around 50 viewers every time he started the livestream and not counting the loss in viewership throughout the stream, it was considered miniscule compared to what was happening now.

Just a little bit more and he might actually be able to achieve a Level 2 impact factor!

Their school was situated in the Jingūmae district in Shibuya City and the JSport App had a built in GPS locator to pinpoint one's exact location or rather the district that they were in.

JSport had multiple sections for each region, prefecture, municipal and district. For every video depending on their impact factor, they would be categorized in each of these different sections.

As such, their current Level 1 stream would only be available in the Jingūmae district section of the JSport App and unless they were able to get more than 30% of their district's population to watch the live stream, they would not be able to upgrade to a Level 2 impact factor.

However, if their current viewers shared the stream to their friends outside of the Jingūmae district or if the other districts somehow stumbled onto the livestream by just randomly navigating around, they could easily fill in that gap to reach a Level 2 impact factor.

And by looking at the growing number of viewers, it seemed like it wasn't far away either.

Soon, the new viewers began blowing up the comments section once again.

[My God! It's actually real! It's the real star from yesterday!]

[Kyah! So cute! I love such cute boys who are good in ball handling!]

[Person above, why do I feel like your intentions are not pure at all? Remember that he is only 10!]

[Hmph! Why do you care?! I bet you're even more uglier than a donkey!]

[What?! Do you want to fight you bitch?! Come! Text me your address!]

With the increasing number of viewers, the comments also began deferring from it's original topic before someone finally reminded them.

[Is there any expert that can determine this guy's jumping height?]

That immediately shut all those stray comments up but it was only for a second.

[What jumping height? He hasn't jumped at all!]

[That's right! After I joined, I only saw him finding a new opponent!]

[You didn't see it but he has a crazy jump height! Just wait and see! He might even set a new record in our Shibuya City!]

[Set a new record?! Don't bullshit! Do you know how hard it is to set a new record in our Shibuya City?! Although those old records are very bad compared to other municipals, they haven't been broken in over 20 years!]

[That's right! I won't believe it until I see it!]

As such, the viewers began to stir up a debate over Reo's jumping height.

However, as only the first 15 viewers had seen it, there was nothing much that they could say except to continue watching.

They believed that if these new viewers continued watching, they would surely be mesmerized by Reo's jump.

But as for Reo, he began stirring up a storm back in the gym as he put on his so called lazy and arrogant expression.

"Well? Is there anyone coming? Cause let me tell you that I will not stop until I take down at least a 100 of you useless fools!"

Reo's announcement caused a turmoil within the crowd as both the students and viewers began voicing their opinions.

"Take a 100 of us down?! Stop daydreaming asshole! There is no way that you could do that!"

"That's right! And who are you calling useless fools?! You're the useless fool, you retard!"

"Know your place asshole! Do you think that you're a God to take down a 100 of us?! Remember that there is a word called stamina!"

As the students began kicking up a fuss, the online viewers were doing the same.

[So arrogant! How can a young kid be so arrogant?! There's no way he's Japanese! No Japanese can be this arrogant!]

[I mean....He does have the qualifications to be arrogant but still, he should know his limit. Taking down a 100 challengers is too much for a kid to do]

[Seeing him behave so manly at such a young age makes me look forward to how domineering he will be in the future....Oh my!]

[Hmph! Slut!]

People on and off screen began clamoring. In their eyes, Reo was just too arrogant.

However, things finally changed when one of the students suddenly stepped forward.

"Since he wants to take down at least a 100 of us, then lets do it. I don't believe that his stamina is infinite!"

"As long as some people tire him out, the rest of us can surely take him down!"

When the other students heard this, they immediately turned their attention to that particular student.

In a few moments, they immediately recognized him.

It was Enkai-senpai!

He was a current senior in their school who will be graduating later this month!

However, the students didn't just recognize him because of his seniority but also because of his other aspects.

Not only was he amazing in basketball, he also had a dashing look that made nearly every girl swoon over and let's not forget that he is still in middle school!

One could imagine how handsome he would be once he grew up.

As such, this made him popular among both the boys and girls from his year as well as those juniors of his.

Seeing so many people focusing their attention on this Enkai, Reo couldn't help but use his Talent Scan on him.

Soon, the results came out.

[Talent Scan Initiating....]

[Target Acquired!]

Name: Enkai Daichi

Height: 158 cm

Talent: C (Developing)

Specialty:-

Court Awareness

Remark: Nothing special besides being a little tall. Bring a stool and you become better than him in every way.

Reo was a bit surprised.

This guy actually had a higher talent rank than Mibuchi!

Although it was only a sub-rank above Mibuchi, one should know that Mibuchi was classified as a star of the Street Ball Rumble.

Meaning that if this Enkai joined the Rumble, he could easily dethrone Mibuchi or in the worst case, be in a constant tie with him just like how Mité and Kotaro were.

Truly, many powerhouses hid in the dark and away from attention.

As such, Reo began to pay more attention to this Enkai dude.

Enkai on the other hand, ignored Reo and turned his attention back to the crowd of students with his arms spread.

"My dear kōhais! We as your seniors will be retiring soon and as such, we would like to extend our hand to help you'll deal with this menace once and for all!"

"However, for us to do that, we need your help. In the case of this guy having a lot of stamina, I beseech my dear kōhais to help wear him down so that we seniors can enact our iron judgement on him!"

When Reo heard this, he nearly fell on his butt.

What nonsense was this?! Wasn't this just pure bullshit?!

As if anyone in their right minds would actually agree to this!

However, Reo was soon proven wrong by the deafening cheers of the students.

"That's our senpais! They sure are a role model for us!"

"To help us deal with our year's menace, they were actually willing to lend a hand! Oh my, I'm tearing up!"

"That's right! Let's help them! That idiot wanted a fight?! Come! I'll be your next challenge!"

When Reo heard these cries of 'justice', he was dumbfounded.

'They actually agreed to it?! Did I make them lose their minds with my fake arrogance?!',Reo couldn't help wondering.

Maybe he really did overdo it. As expected, being arrogant and cocky just didn't suit him at all.

After all, he wasn't Kanye West.

Still, Reo couldn't help but focus on Enkai.

If it was a normal one on one, Reo was confident in beating the crap out of Enkai but now....he wasn't so sure anymore.

If Enkai were to get the other students to wear him down, then there was a high chance for him getting defeated by Enkai once his stamina was depleted.

As such, Reo couldn't help but feel quite worried.

When the system perceived Reo's feelings, it couldn't help but stir things up once again.

[These kids sure are naïve! Believing some bullshit just like that! However, this doesn't bode well for you, does it?!

[Hahaha! Feeling nervous? It's not too late to back out of our deal, you know?]

[Seeing your predicament, I can't help but feel merciful and as such, I am willing to lower your punishment by just a bit. You don't have to defeat 200 players without rest but instead....]

[You have to write on the wall 100 times 'The System is the greatest and I will be forever insignificant for going against it's almighty wishes'! Muahahahaha!]

Reo's face scrunched up like he had eaten something really sour.

Seeing this stupid system pulling out a supervillain persona all of a sudden made Reo want to enact justice and give it a good beating once again.

Write such a humiliating thing on the wall?! Never!

Although, he had been reincarnated as a boy, he still had his pride as a man!

As such, Reo couldn't help but harshly rebuke the system.

'Why would I ever be as shameless as you?! Just you wait! You better not cry like an ugly baby once I win our bet!'

Using his surging anger from the embarrassment he felt from the system's words, Reo ignored the system's cursing and directly shouted to the crowd.

"Hurry up! Is anyone coming?! Otherwise, I will count this as a technical victory by forfeit!"

The originally fired up students transformed into Super-Saiyan mode once they heard that.

"You bastard! Wait for me, I'll come there right now!"

"No, I'm going!"

"Don't push, you assholes! I'm going first!"

Countless students pushed against one another before finally, a single student stumbled onto the court from the pile of students crowded at the sidelines.

Seeing the students close to fighting one another, Mikasa couldn't help but interfere.

"Those who want to challenge Reo-kun must line up! Otherwise, the challenge will not be accepted!", Mikasa announced.

The students wanted to refute but seeing that Mikasa was the speaker, they couldn't help but shut up and line up obediently like good little boys.

If they dared to scold Mikasa in public, even their own parents might not recognize them once they go home.

Seeing the students calming down as they began to line up, Mikasa sighed in relief but at the same time, she felt like throwing a dictionary at Reo's head.

Why did this dummy create such a big mess for her to clean up?! If she was any less popular, the students might not have even cared about her words and directly start an all-out brawl.

She didn't care if Reo wanted to challenge the school but why did he enrage them this much?!

As such, Mikasa couldn't help but glare at Reo as she was just moments away from throwing the basketball at Reo's head just to fix his brain.

Sensing Mikasa's glare at him, Reo became confused.

Just what was this girl thinking until he felt such a lethal threat from her? As far as he knew, he didn't do anything to directly affect her, right?

However, Reo didn't ponder about it for too long as he faced his next opponent who stood directly opposite of him.

It was a skinny kid with messy hair and wrinkles dotting his cheeks.

Reo didn't recognize him nor would he care about his identity anyways. He couldn't afford to remember everyone that he beats.

Seeing that the boy not saying anything as well, Reo signaled Mikasa with his eyes once again to start the match.

Soon, Mikasa started the match with a tip off.

Time passed by and the match progressed as usual but soon, the result was clear for all to see.

Mikasa was also trying to be formal as she announced the results like how a professional announcer would.

"Second round winner, Reo Fuji!"

The match ended fast with Reo not missing a single shot and soon, the next opponent came onto the court.

Match after match progressed but there was no change in the results whatsoever.

"Fifth round winner, Reo Fuji!"

"Seventeenth round winner, Reo Fuji!"

"Thirtieth round winner, Reo Fuji!"

"Forty-sixth round winner, Reo Fuji!"

As more and more matches progressed, the crowd became even more nervous.

This bastard was close to winning over 50 matches!

Such a thing was considered impossible but now, they were witnessing this with their own eyes.

In the livestream, the number of viewers had soon reached an unprecedented amount of over 20000 viewers which continued to grow at a rapid pace.

The stream had successfully broken through the Level 1 threshold and reached a Level 2 impact factor with such frightening speed.

If this continued, the stream might even break through to a Level 3 impact factor!

Just thinking about this made Nakamura's skin tingle. This could very well be his first major project and a pavement to becoming a big name in the future!

In the comments section, it couldn't be any livelier than any live stream in Shibuya City today.

[Wtf?! He's already completed 46 matches without losing?! How does he have so much stamina?!]

[Forget that! Did you notice that he hasn't missed a single shot at all?! My God, this is just crazy!]

[Also, that jump height! Can anyone verify it?!]

[I'm a coach for a middle school in Shibuya City and by looking at this video, I can estimate that he can jump roughly 15 or so inches vertically?! This is just a little short from our Shibuya City's record of 18.6 inches for the under 12 category!]

[Wait! That means if he practices, he might have a chance to break the record in another 2 years time! I mean, he's only 10 years old now!]

[We have a new genius in Shibuya City! I'm going to the temple today to sing praises to the Buddha!]

As the livestream started chatting, Reo didn't know that his jumping ability had become a hot topic amongst the citizens of Shibuya City.

However, if he knew what they were talking about, he would have surely laughed out loud.

While those people were speculating that he could break the Shibuya City record for vertical jumps under 12,no one but himself knew that he had already broken the record.

He could already jump 20 inches thanks to his Rare Grade Skill so that record was nothing to him.

As for officially breaking the record, he might consider it later. For now, his aim was to hone his skills and get that Epic Grade Skill from the system.

It was already his 56th match and honestly, Reo was starting to feel tired. If it was any other person his age, they might have called it quits by now but not him.

He had 9 points in his Stamina stats with the addition of the Rare Grade Skill(Juggernaut) so he could hold on for a while.

Calculating from his current condition, Reo assumed that he could last for around 130 opponents before he gave out.

However, Reo wasn't planning to go past a 100 challenges today. He wanted to complete the 100 challenges perfectly without missing a shot so that he could call it quits proudly.

Having a record of 100 straight challenges without a single point missed and an Epic Grade Skill? It was more than enough for Reo to have bragging rights for the rest of his life.

If anyone asked, he would say that he was only 10 years old when he set this record.

As Reo thought about this, he faced the boy opposite of him with slightly tired eyes as he went in for another jump shot.

While jumping too frequently would take it's toll on him, he wanted to try maxing out his potential so that he wouldn't have to dribble unnecessarily and waste his stamina.

Still, he would immediately stop once he felt even the slightest pain in his ankles. Even if he were to max out his potential, he only wanted to end up with muscle soreness and not torn ligaments at this age.

Thankfully, his Physique stats were one of the highest at a solid 11 points so he was confident in his body holding up for a while.

As Reo looked at the ball that he just released, he suddenly felt a foreboding feeling coming upon him and a few seconds later, he realized why.

He shot the ball slightly off course!

While it was just a slight misjudgment, it could very well cause him to miss the shot as well as an Epic Grade Skill.

Looking at the ball, Reo finally saw the outcome of his shot.

Bang!

The ball bounced off the rim!

As Reo saw this, he only had one thought in his mind.

'Shit!'
