Rebirth of Akutsu, dominating the Black Basketball Team

Chapter 27 Blooming
Soon, it was the summer vacation of the second year.

During this period, Akutsu almost figured out his awakened consciousness.

Compared to the Prince of Tennis where he opened five clones as soon as he woke up to suppress Amatis, Akutsu could barely open one at this time.

Ultimately, consciousness is Akutsu's deeper grasp of himself, and the abilities he demonstrates are based on his basic qualities.

Akutsu has tried to use the Mukushiroku privately, and the feeling is very strange. Time seems to have stopped in front of him, a bit like "bullet time".

This also explains why there are so many "clones" in the original work, because he made multiple responses in an instant.

However, Akutsu's physical condition at the moment was not enough to support him. He just entered and experienced it for a while, and he was exhausted before he could even release a clone.

Fortunately, Akutsu believed in his body's instincts at the time and did not use them during the duel with Aomine.

The duel with Aomine brought Akutsu a lot of benefits. Not only did he awaken the zone, but he also awakened the infinite consciousness.

It’s a pity that Akutsu’s current physical condition cannot support him to use both at the same time.

However, this also gave Akutsu the motivation and direction to train hard.

Throughout the summer vacation, apart from occasionally accompanying Hanyu to go shopping and play, Akutsu was either training his tennis skills or soaking himself in the gym.

Thanks to Hanyu's help and support, Akutsu no longer has to worry about money and has hired a professional physical trainer to guide him.

Of course, Akutsu did not forget to continue to enrich his offensive methods.

This summer, Akutsu strengthened his finishing ability at the basket, including rebounding, lobs, hooks, layups, and layups.

Summer is gone and autumn is here, and it is time to go back to school in September.

However, not long after the school started, Akutsu and other members of the basketball team received bad news - Coach Shirogane was seriously ill and could no longer serve as the head coach of Teikoh.

This was a huge blow to Akutsu and Miracle and the others, and everyone had great respect for Coach Platinum.

Finally, after discussion at the school, the former assistant coach temporarily took over the position of head coach.

However, the assistant coach simply does not have enough control over the entire basketball department, especially the school team members.

If it weren't for the Teiko basketball team's two consecutive championships and the leadership of captain Akashi, the basketball team would probably have entered a period of turmoil.

Even so, the training atmosphere within the basketball team cannot be compared with that in previous semesters.

"Oh, this kind of training is so boring, can I not train~"

Murasakibara Atsushi easily dunked over three defenders under the basket, then yawned and spoke with a bored look on his face.

"Atsushi, training is necessary to win!"

At this time, Akashi, who was standing on the sidelines supervising everyone's training, spoke with a somewhat dissatisfied tone.

Looking at Murasakibara's lazy appearance, Akashi felt very dissatisfied. In addition, he had just been scolded by his father a few days ago, so his tone was not very good either.

Time goes back to Akashi's house a few days ago, Akashi and his father had a rare meal together.

During this time, the father also asked about the situation of Akashi's basketball team.

Because this world places great emphasis on basketball, Akashi's father has also slightly changed his ideas and is not so opposed to Akashi playing basketball.

However, his standards for Akashi were still just as high.

"As a member of the Akashi family, you must do your best in everything!"

Apparently, Akashi's father also knew about the name "Generation of Miracles" which is now widely spread.

However, he was dissatisfied that Akashi was not the protagonist. Akashi felt a lot of pressure, but he did not dare to disobey his father.

Thinking back now, and looking at Murasakibara who was the laziest in training, Akashi was really angry.

He was angry at his own incompetence and also angry at Murasakibara for wasting his talent.

Although the other players are also very talented, at least they train seriously. Only Murasakibara relies entirely on his talent. He doesn't train seriously at all and doesn't even have any passion for basketball.

Akashi was unwilling to accept the fact that despite his continuous hard training, he was still considered the weakest among the "Generation of Miracles" by the outside world.

"It's always been like this since I was little. Whether it's my father or anyone else, I deserve to be first. If I don't get first place, it's a disgrace to the Akashi family."

Akashi recalled his experiences from childhood to adulthood, and a strong sense of unwillingness welled up in his heart.

"Chizi, you are so annoying, be careful or I will crush you~"

Murasakibara looked down at Akashi and said with an unhappy look on his face.

Such tone and condescending attitude irritated Akashi even more.

"Come and fight me one-on-one. If you win, you don't have to come to practice."

In the end, Akashi still had a one-on-one fight with Murasakibara, just like in the original story.

The result of the duel did not change. When Murasakibara was leading by a large margin and was about to win, Akashi's second personality appeared.

Akashi's eyes, which originally had a pair of red eyes, turned into different-colored pupils, one gold and one red. The Eye of the Emperor suppressed everything, and Murasakibara was defeated by Akashi by scoring points continuously.

"I will train hard."

After being defeated, Murasakibara was unhappy but was still prepared to follow the previous agreement.

"No, that's not necessary. You don't have to come if you don't want to train anymore."

Akashi's eyes flashed with a cold light, no longer as gentle as before.

"It's not just Murasakibara, Kise, Aomine and the rest of you too. If you don't want to train, you don't have to come. As long as we can win the game, nothing else matters."

Seeing the huge change in Akashi, everyone around couldn't believe it, especially Midorima who believed in "doing the best one can", and couldn't accept Akashi's decision.

However, under Akashi's cold gaze, Midorima still didn't say anything.

Akutsu watched with interest, he didn't expect that because of his influence, Aomine, who was the first to give up, was pulled back by him, and as a result, it became Murasakibara who gave up, and finally it became like the original.

After that, the atmosphere of the entire basketball team changed drastically.

The original laughter and joy were gone, leaving only a suffocating feeling of dullness.

Kuroko didn't understand, and he wanted to question Akashi, but the answer he got was disappointing.

This reminded Kuroko of what Huizaki said when he quit the club:

"You guys who stayed behind might be more pitiful."

After that, Murasakibara was rarely seen in the gym, and only Midorima still insisted on doing shooting training every day.

Time passed in this strange atmosphere and the winter season came.

The miracles that blossomed one after another were unstoppable, and they won by large margins one after another.

There is more and more praise for "Generation of Miracles" from the outside world, but the haters are becoming more and more disappointed.
