Rebirth of Akutsu, dominating the Black Basketball Team

Chapter 22 The Last Light

"A competition with Qingfeng in it is not a competition."

"What's the point of playing with that monster Qingfeng?"

"Playing with Teiko today? That's really boring."

"..."

Qingfeng, who was in the darkness, couldn't help but recall the gossip he had heard before.

"Is that so? I just got a little serious and you guys just gave up?"

Qingfeng looked at his hands in pain. He simply couldn't find an opponent against whom he could give his full strength.

He just wants to play basketball well and enjoy playing. Is it that difficult?
After a long time, Qingfeng walked back to his own half in frustration, and once again thought pessimistically:

"The only one who can defeat me is myself~"

At this time, Akutsu, who had been paying attention to Aomine, ran over immediately.

"And I!"

Unlike his previous teasing tone, Akutsu spoke seriously while extending his hand towards Aomine.

"Don't forget Dahui. I was leading by one to zero in that duel."

Akutsu recounted the story of the first day they met, when they went to play one-on-one on the baseball field outside the school.

At that time, Akutsu scored the first goal, and then the second goal was blocked by Aomine.

Later, due to time constraints, the two did not continue the duel and went home.

It was this one-on-one duel that was seen by Huang Lai, which led to him getting in touch with basketball a year earlier.

Akutsu's voice was like a ray of light, breaking through the darkness around Aomine.

Qingfeng looked up, and it was still dark all around, but Akutsu's figure appeared not far ahead.

He was finally no longer alone.

"Oh, you really dare to say that, Ren~"

Although he was somewhat grateful to Akutsu, Qingfeng did not give in easily.

"No matter who you are, the opponent I desire does not exist at all."

"Whether it exists or not, after the game is over, let's find a baseball field to try it out, Dahui. It just so happens that the previous duel hasn't been finished yet."

Akutsu held out his hand towards Aomine.

"Oh, sure."

Hearing this, Qingfeng did not refuse and patted the hand that Akutsu extended.

Deep down, he also hoped that Akutsu could compete with him, or even defeat him.

For Aomine who is now in darkness, Akutsu is his last ray of light.

"If even Jin can't stop me..."

Thinking of this, Qingfeng shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Without much effort, Teiko easily defeated Nagasaki Junior High School and advanced to the finals.

After the game, Qingfeng left alone.

Akutsu said something to Hanyu Nagatsuki who came to watch the game, and then left with a basketball.

As he watched Akutsu play more and more often, Hanyu Nagatsuki became familiar with the Miracles and Momoi Kuroko and could communicate with them normally.

"Okay, then I'll go back with Sister May."

As the only two girls in the team, Hanyu Nagatsuki naturally teamed up with Momoi Satsuki.

Hearing this, Akutsu nodded. With Momoi watching over her, he didn't have to worry about Nagatsuki getting lost.

After Akutsu left, Hanyu Nagatsuki suddenly looked around slyly, and after making sure that no one else was around, she whispered into Momoi's ear, "Sister May, should we sneak over and see what secrets these two guys are hiding from us?"

After hearing what Nagatsuki said, Momoi was also very moved, especially since Aomine's mental state had been becoming increasingly abnormal in recent times, and Momoi was very worried about him.

"But we don't know where they went?"

"Hey, this is easy."

Seeing that Momoi agreed, Nagatsuki took out her cell phone and made a call.

"Help me find Aomine Daiki and Akatsu Jin, centered around the school, as quickly as possible."

After finishing the call, Nagatsuki winked at Momoi and said, "Wait a moment. Don't worry, it will be quick."

On the other side, Akutsu walked with a basketball to the baseball field where he and Aomine played basketball for the first time.

Here, Akutsu saw Aomine Daiki sitting on a chair nearby.

Because it was already late after the game, and the journey back to school was long, the sky had already darkened.

There was no one else on the entire court except Aomine Daiki.

The street lamps around the stadium cast their lights. Aomine Daiki sat on a bench beside the stadium, half of his body hidden in the darkness.

"Finally I'm here, Ren, please don't let me down!"

Aomine Daiki's eyes were filled with pain and confusion, but also with a hint of expectation.

"Ah, I understand. I'm sure you'll be satisfied this time."

Akutsu answered as he put down his bag.

Then, Akutsu threw the basketball to Aomine, "You defended me last time, so according to the rules, it's your turn to attack next."

As he spoke, Akutsu had already taken a defensive position.

Aomine also stood up from his seat and slowly dribbled the ball towards Akutsu.

"If it was Aren, you would have the same feeling, right?" Qingfeng did not rush to attack.

"It's like no matter how the opponent defends, I feel like I can always put the basketball into the basket easily."

Akutsu understood what Aomine meant. This was because his strength increased too quickly and his vision did not keep up.

It may not be quite appropriate to describe it as a frog in a well or a blind man touching an elephant, but this is roughly the meaning.

The overall strength of Asian basketball cannot compare with that of Europe and the United States, let alone the Land of Sakura.

In addition, Qingfeng often skips classes, and the only books he likes to read are photos of beautiful girls. His opponents are usually ordinary junior high school students, so it is easy for him to have such an illusion.

In fact, it's not just Qingfeng, the other people in Miracle also have this problem to a greater or lesser extent.

But Akutsu is different. In his previous life, he had seen what real professional basketball was like.

Combined with the ability values ​​displayed on the panel, Akutsu can have a clear understanding of his own strength. He has not even reached the national level yet.

"That feeling is just your illusion, Dahui, believe me, I will make you understand this next."

"You guy!"

Hearing this, Qingfeng's expression turned cold. Although he had a good relationship with Akutsu, the words just now still made Qingfeng very unhappy.

The next moment, Qingfeng, who was originally maintaining a slow dribbling rhythm, paused, and then the basketball suddenly jumped around Qingfeng at a dazzling speed.

Qingfeng can easily perform various difficult moves in street basketball.

Seeing this, Akutsu also looked serious and stared at Qingfeng intently.

"I'm coming~"

Following Qingfeng's whisper, he accelerated suddenly and broke through to Akutsu's left side.
