Juri Ueno from Kuroko's Basketball

Just finished training.

He haphazardly wiped his face with a towel, then slumped weakly into a chair, almost sinking into it. His voice was breathless as he asked, "You...you guys say the youth training will...it will end tomorrow. How strong will Ueno be then?"

Upon hearing this, Miya Ryoichi, who was spinning the basketball on one fingertip, raised an eyebrow slightly and pondered, "He should be very strong." As he spoke, his tone changed again, becoming somewhat serious, "But don't forget, there are other schools' ace players going to the youth training program, it's not just Ueno alone."

"Oh, that's true."

Kurumi Sora tilted his head back and asked, "Captain, shall we continue the match?"

"Hmm." Nodding, Miyagi Ryoichi's eyes became somewhat expectant.

Upon hearing this, the others also became nervous and expectant, eager to show off their skills. After all, the week-long intensive training had greatly boosted their confidence.

Because of Haizaki's presence, they have consistently been a team that wins more often than they lose.

Meanwhile, Haizaki, practicing his shooting alone, continued practicing relentlessly.

He seemed to turn a deaf ear to what the people from the capital were saying.

Their training camp ended some time ago, during which they trained at the school's basketball training ground under the guidance of their own coach.

Coach Shinkawa was standing to the side, flipping through his notebook, while basketball manager Saori, with a serious expression, was whispering something to Coach Shinkawa while holding a folder.

A moment later, Coach Xinhe slammed his notebook shut with a "bang," his brows furrowed and his expression grave as he walked toward the resting group.

Seeing Coach Xinhe approaching them with a noticeably serious expression, everyone tactfully stood up. Even Shang Jingyi, who was somewhat impulsive, stood aside cautiously, afraid of accidentally getting into trouble.

With his hands behind his back, Coach Xinhe looked at the players standing in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow, we will have a tough battle."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, exchanged glances, and were full of doubt. Finally, the team captain, A Liang, spoke up and asked, "Coach, are we going to practice against other teams tomorrow?"

Nodding, Coach Shinwa said, "Yes, Luoshan just sent an invitation for a friendly match, and I accepted."

Upon hearing this, before anyone else could say anything, Kamijou Ichiji breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought it was something serious that made the atmosphere so tense, and he couldn't help but become carefree again. "Don't worry, old man, it's not like we haven't fought them before. You can rest assured. Even if Ueno isn't here, we still have me as the substitute ace."

As soon as Shang Jing finished speaking, everyone looked at him with suspicion and confusion; "Hmm?"

What does it mean that even if Ueno isn't here, you're still here?

What is a substitute ace?

His face darkened as he looked at the other person. Coach Xinhe suppressed the urge to beat up Shangjing and took a deep breath before continuing, "Hmph, do you think that the training camp reflects the true strength of Luoshan High School?"

"What do you mean?" This time it was Haizaki who spoke, somewhat puzzled.

Others also turned their attention back to Coach Xinhe.

Looking at everyone, Coach Xinhe took the documents from Saori and said with a serious expression, "I can tell you clearly that none of the top players from Rakuzan were present during the training camp."

At this point, Coach Xinhe's face darkened further. He couldn't help but recall those days of training camp, when he felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Moreover, the training period was short and there were many things to do, so he forgot about it for a while.

Looking back now, he knows.

That means the opposing team's players have a problem.

Apart from the guy who went to the training camp, the other guys on the other side are not here either. What a cunning guy, Rakuzan High School.

Coach Xinhe's face grew darker the more he thought about it.

"Old man, can you finish what you said in one go?" Shang Jing asked anxiously, scratching his head, looking at Coach Xinhe who had suddenly stopped and was no longer speaking. "Can you stop saying half of what you mean? It's driving me crazy."

Looking at the anxious Kyoichi, and then at the other equally curious group, Coach Xinhe slowly spoke up: "Do you know that there are five more people below the Generation of Miracles?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Liang tentatively asked, "Coach, you, you mean... the five champions without a title?"

Nodding, Coach Shinkawa glanced at Haizaki, who was deep in thought, and continued.

"Loksan has more than just one Age of Miracles; it also has two uncrowned Grandmasters!"

"What do you mean?"

"What, what's going on? I, I don't understand." Shang Jing's eyes were filled with confusion.

What about the five uncrowned generals, and all that?

"They are five incredibly talented players! If it weren't for the emergence of the Generation of Miracles, they would have been the protagonists of this era! That's why they are also known as the Uncrowned Five, meaning they didn't win a championship, but they had the potential to win one."

Looking at Shangjingyi, Captain A Liang felt somewhat helpless, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he began to explain.

After all, they didn't care much about these things back then.

It's worth noting that if Ueno and his team hadn't joined, they wouldn't have even been able to gather enough players for the match, which speaks volumes.

"This... this is terrifying?" Shangjing felt a chill run down his spine.

The others also looked solemn.

"So, that means Los Angeles has three players with championship potential?"

"That's the theory."

"Which two guys are they?"

Coach Shinkawa said, "One is 'Yaksha' Reo Shibuchi, one of the Five Generals, who plays shooting guard, and the other is 'Gouriki' Eikichi Nebuya, one of the Five Generals, who plays center."

After introducing the two players who had not won any titles, Coach Xinhe said in a deep voice, "Therefore, tomorrow's friendly match will be a fierce battle."

Upon hearing Coach Shinkawa's words, Miyako and Kimura's expressions immediately turned somewhat grim.

Because their positions are shooting guard and center.

For some reason, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat oppressive.

Just then, Kamijou suddenly spoke up: "Old man, Haizaki-chan is so strong, why isn't she one of the Five Uncrowned Generals?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and they all looked at Haizaki, who had a look of astonishment on his face.

Kurumaya Sora: "Yes, Haizaki-kun's strength is indeed very strong!"

Yagami, who stood to the side like a small mountain, nodded in agreement. "Mm."

Chapter 120 The Reason for the Sudden Organization of Youth Training

Looking at the crowd staring at him, Haizaki sneered, his tone full of disdain: "What Five Uncrowned Generals! They're nothing but a joke. In my eyes, apart from the Generation of Miracles, they're all trash!"

After saying that, Haizaki raised his head disdainfully, showing no regard for the Five Uncrowned Generals.

Whether or not he truly disregarded them, only Haizaki himself knows.

Seeing this, no one said anything more, after all, the other party was indeed very strong.

Coach Shinkawa gave Haizaki a deep look, but said nothing.

Coach Shinkawa knew everything about Haizaki's past.

As a regular member of Teiko Junior High School, he almost became a member of the Generation of Miracles, but was kicked out of the team due to personality issues.

Compared to Haizaki, who used to verbally abuse his teammates and physically assault them, Haizaki is much better now.

As for Haizaki's strength, Coach Shinka believes he is not as good as the Generation of Miracles, but not much different from the Five Untitled Players.

………………

Youth training camp.

Next to a beverage vending machine.

"Ueno-kun."

Looking at Gin with a beaming smile, carrying drinks for Kagami and the others, Ueno, who had just turned to leave, was a little confused.

"Is something wrong?"

He came to buy a drink and unexpectedly ran into Yin.

Ueno didn't dislike Gin at all; the opponent was quite strong.

However, they weren't very familiar with each other, so a nod was enough to acknowledge each other, and he didn't say anything.

But to his surprise, the other party struck up a conversation with him first.

Yin nodded, took a sip of his drink, and looked at Ueno's somewhat puzzled expression before asking, "Ueno-kun, do you know why we suddenly had to start training this time?"

Upon hearing this, Ueno began to ponder in his mind, for he truly did not know why.

Even in his previous life, when he watched Kuroko's Basketball, there was no storyline about youth training, and Haizaki wasn't in that time period either.

Anyway, everything was different from the Kuroko's Basketball storyline he knew.

But he didn't think about it too much.

After all, this world is no longer just an anime, but a real place.

Anything is possible.

After thinking it over, Ueno looked at Gin and honestly shook his head, saying, "I don't know."

A burning glint flashed deep in Yin's eyes, and then he looked at Ueno and said seriously, "For the competition three years from now."

"Three years later?"

Ueno looked puzzled. What kind of competition requires three years of preparation?

Yin tilted his head back and took a sip of his drink, his eyes almost squinting into slits. His tone was strange, serious, curious, and seemingly also a little fanatical, as he spoke slowly and deliberately.
