Rei smiled seeing the hardcore workout the system gave him.
He would clench his hand in excitement, but his hand is injured so he raised it high to celebrate his new goal.
He started doing the workout as soon as he got it because he has nothing else to do, so why not?
After 2 hours of workout, Rei was soaked in sweat and gasping for his breath. Even though he was struggling with his body he was still feeling happy while doing it.
After exercising, he received a notification from the system.

For the exercise, he didn't use a medicine ball because he didn't have instead, he used a yoga ball. It would suffice for now anyways since his hands are injured.
Looking at his actions you know how big of a baseball maniac he is.

Seeing the increase in his stats motivated him.
Rei sat down on his bed thinking if he should walk out of his room or not. He was afraid of running into his predecessor's family. He knew it was going to be awkward between them.
Sooner or later, he had to face them so while sighing he exited his room.
Feeling nervous Rei walked down the stairs and entered the living room. He saw 1 old person and 1 middle-aged man sitting on a couch talking.
As soon as Rei saw them in the living room, tons of memories started flowing in his brain. He grabbed his head wincing in pain. It literally felt like someone was stuffing information in his brain, the pain was so extreme that he fainted.

Rei got his predecessor's memories when he saw his father and grandfather in the living room.
Opening his eyes, he heard a lot of crying.
"Oh, My grandson you're awake. Don't let this old man experience this again…", Said grandfather with tears flowing through his eyes.
"This happened because you weren't taking care of him, were you?", questioned mom to his dad.
"I-I was…", whispered dad meekly.
"I am all right you don't need to worry", said Rei smiling. He didn't feel awkward or weird talking to them now because he had gotten the memories of his predecessor.
When he saw his grandfather, he seemed like tsundere. His mother seemed dominant compared to his father. But still, he liked this family and he felt like he belonged here.
After the chaos stopped, the family sat together to eat dinner.
"I heard you have been accepted into Seido because of your test scores", said mom.
"Yeah, I can't believe our son Is going there with a scholarship", said grandfather.
"Thankfully, I don't have to pay his tuition", whispered dad but Rei's mom still heard it. She pinched her husband's hands telling him to shut his mouth up.
"I know I'm excited to go there too but dad lately I have been thinking since it's summer vacation how about you take me working out with you every morning", said Rei while smiling.
There was utter silence at the table when his family heard what he said.
"W-what…", said Rei.
"Nothing…", said mom looking at me weirdly.
"I have been waiting for this day my entire life", said dad enthusiastically.
"Hahaha, let me join you too", said the grandpa.
"NO!!!", said Rei and his father simultaneously.
Rei had asked his dad because his dad was a soccer coach even though it wasn't baseball it was still a sport. His predecessor was a smart person who only focused on his studies, but he wasn't like that. Thankfully, his predecessor, got into Seido because he could start baseball there and maybe work his way up to the first string.
Laughter filled the entire dining room.
After finishing dinner Rei went back to his room.
He entered his room, lay on his bed, and prepared to sleep. But before that, he rummaged through his predecessor's memories so that he can remember every detail.
His predecessor didn't have friends which was sad but thankfully because of that, he didn't have to worry about people causing him unnecessary trouble.
Rei couldn't wait for the next day to start because he is going to start practicing his baseball skills and tomorrow, he had to discuss something important with his family.
