Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 135 Use the remaining
"I really don't know who writes the manuscripts for the leaders. They're the same every year..." Kaneki Ken stood at the podium, looking at the familiar leader who was speaking. He yawned and complained in a low voice to Momoi Satsuki beside him.

"It's the opening ceremony now, Yan-kun, don't say such things, or you will be caught by the camera..." Taoi Satsuki looked around nervously and reminded in a low voice.

"Haha~ I think Gilgamesh is right..." Sakuragi Hanamichi yawned lazily and said, "It's just a competition... Why are you talking so much? I feel like I'm about to fall asleep..."

"Be patient, Sakuragi." Mu Mu Gongchi beside him persuaded with a smile, holding his glasses, "What if you become a famous Japanese star in the future, and someone finds out about this little black material, that would be embarrassing~"

"...I declare that the Kanagawa Prefecture qualifiers of the Neon Country IH High School Basketball League will begin now!" Just as the players off the court were whispering to each other impatiently, the leader on the court seemed to have noticed the restlessness off the court and hurriedly ended his speech.

"Uh~ ah~~~~" Kaneki Ken finally couldn't hold back and stretched himself, "It's finally over, let's go."

"Hey? Let's go? Where are you going, Ken Kaneki?" Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was participating in the county competition for the first time, followed Kaneki Ken and asked curiously.

"Where else can we go? Let's go to the audience seats." Kaneki Ken pointed to a group of chairs in the audience seats with Shonan logos on them. "The first game today is not ours. It's Ryohoku vs. Miuradai. We have to give them space to play~"

"Hey, isn't this Kaneki?" After everyone from Shonan sat down, Sendoh Akira smiled and stretched out his hand to greet Kaneki Ken, "Long time no see~"

"Yes." Kaneki Ken held Sendoh Akira's hand and said, "After so many years, your hairstyle is still so hard to describe~"

"It's hard to explain, is it?" Sendoh Akira touched his hair and turned to look at Maki Shinichi next to him, "Amu, didn't you say before that my hairstyle is very handsome?"

"It's up to you to decide your hairstyle. Don't care about other people's opinions." Maki Shinichi said, covering his face with some embarrassment.

"Hey~ Do you also know Gilgamesh, Broomhead?" Sakuragi Hanamichi excitedly poked his head out from the side and interrupted.

"You are so rude, Sakuragi! This is senior Sendoh Akira from Poseidon Junior High School! Stop calling him 'Flathead'!" Momoi Satsuki blamed Sakuragi Hanamichi with some embarrassment.

"Haha, it's okay." Sendoh Akira smiled and waved his hands, indicating that he didn't care at all about the nickname that Sakuragi Hanamichi gave him. "From Hokkaido to Honshu Island, Kaneki Ken's reputation in the basketball world is well-known to everyone!"

"Then you have to remember my name too. I'm Hanamichi Sakuragi, the basketball genius from Shonan!" Sakuragi Hanamichi proudly pointed at himself with his thumb and said loudly, "In the future, I will defeat all the Shonan aces of the Generation of Miracles together with Gilgamesh!"

"This idiot..." Rukawa Kaede on the side felt everyone's attention attracted by Sakuragi Hanamichi's voice, and rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Haha, Sakuragi Hanamichi?" Sendoh Akira patted Sakuragi Hanamichi's shoulder and encouraged him, "Then you have to work harder!"

"The first game of the Neon National IH High School Basketball League Kanagawa Prefecture Qualifying Tournament, the match between Ryohoku and Miuradai is about to begin. Players from both teams are invited to enter the venue."

"Okay, stop talking, the game is about to start." The broadcast above the venue sounded, and Kaneki Ken interrupted the conversation between the two, "Don't you see that everyone is looking at you?"

"Oh..." Sakuragi Hanamichi scratched his head awkwardly after being interrupted, then sat back in his seat and watched the game.

The team lineups in this world are different from before. Due to the emergence of the Generation of Miracles, all the wealthy universities have stepped up their efforts to recruit talented newcomers. It would be best if they could recruit the Generation of Miracles, but if they couldn't, they would try to recruit players at the level of Generals and above.

This has led to a very serious polarization in the team lineups. The strong teams are ridiculously strong, and there may be one or two geniuses or even general-level players sitting on the bench. The weak teams are also frighteningly weak, and may not even be able to get two strong-level players in the starting lineup.

The two teams in front of him, Ryohoku and Miuradai, were such weak teams, so in Kaneki Ken's eyes, the match between the two teams could only be described in one word, that is, a fight between weaklings. "Beep beep~ Ryohoku High School vs. Miuradai High School, 87:76, Ryohoku High School wins!"

"Uh~ ah~~ It's finally over..." As the whistle of the game sounded, Kaneki Ken stood up, stretched, moved his hands and feet, and kicked Sakuragi Hanamichi beside him, "Do you want to go to the bathroom together? There will be another highlight soon~"

"Let's go!" Sakuragi Hanamichi had no patience to begin with, and the game was so boring that he was almost bored after sitting there for an hour. Not to mention that Kaneki Ken asked him to go to the bathroom at this time, even if he was asked to touch the leaves, he would probably go.

……

"Shh..."

In front of the sink, Kaneki Ken, who had just finished using the bathroom, simply washed his face when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Hey, Kaneki, you came to watch my game too?"

"Oh, it's Kise~" Kaneki Ken looked at Kise Ryota in the mirror, turned off the faucet leisurely, shook the water off his hands casually, walked to the side, took out a tissue, wiped his hands and said with a smile, "Why don't you warm up? Are you too nervous?"

"I'm not nervous about those guys from Kitagawa Middle School." Huang Lai Ryota leaned against the wall, smiled and shook his head, "I really just happened to come to the bathroom and ran into you, so I just came to say hello."

"Hey! You are... you are the... Little Golden Sparkle!" With the sound of flushing, the door of the bathroom stall was slowly opened. As soon as Sakuragi Hanamichi came out, he happened to run into Kise Ryouta, pointing at him and shouting excitedly, like a monkey.

"Haha, hello Sakuragi, um... Actually, I came here to ask Kise Ryota..." Kise Ryota waved at Sakuragi Hanamichi with an awkward smile, then looked at Kaneki Ken and said, "Well, I've already said the necessary greetings, so please watch my performance carefully from the sidelines later, Kaneki."

"So, didn't you say you wanted to go to the bathroom?" Kaneki Ken looked at Kise Ryouta's back as he left the mirror and said, "It will be embarrassing if you can't hold it in after you go on stage."

"Before that, I will get rid of those guys in Kitagawa." Huang Lai Ryota stopped and turned his head slightly, with a confident smile on his lips, "Don't be shocked by my performance~"

"I said before, I'm the ace of the Generation of Miracles. On the court, no matter how bizarre something is, I won't be surprised." Kaneki Ken said, crumpling the paper in his hand into a ball and throwing it into the trash can in the distance. "But you, don't just fool me with some half-finished products~"

"Haha, let's wait and see, Kaneki." Kise Ryota turned and left the bathroom, leaving only the voice echoing.

"What were you talking about just now, Gilgamesh? Some semi-finished product or something..." It was not until Kise Ryouta's figure gradually disappeared from sight that Sakuragi Hanamichi came forward with some curiosity and asked.

"It's alright, Sakuragi. You have to watch the game carefully." Kaneki Ken put his hands in his pockets and took Sakuragi Hanamichi out of the bathroom, constantly admonishing him, "Don't think of yourself as a spectator, imagine yourself as the opponent facing Kise. Although it's just a half-finished super imitation show, not even qualified to please me, it's still a good opportunity for you to become stronger."

"Oh oh..." Sakuragi Hanamichi nodded somewhat confused and followed Kaneki Ken out of the bathroom.

"Skill: Those who resemble me will die, Skill type: Skill, Skill term: Skill compatibility, Skill level: SS- (can grow to SSS level), Skill effect: After obtaining this skill, all skill-type skills below SS- can be instantly copied and forcibly upgraded by one small level. Skills at SS level and above can be forcibly copied, but the effect will be weakened by 40% compared to the original version, and players at the level of General and above will gradually become immune to the skill effect as the game progresses."

"In the final analysis, it's just an imitation that looks similar in form but not in spirit..." At this moment, Kaneki Ken looked at the system interface and saw that Kise Ryota had upgraded his "Those who look like me will die" skill at some point, his eyes gradually becoming playful, "These are all the things I have left over."
