Juri Ueno from Kuroko's Basketball

"Thank you for the compliment."

Ueno responded with a light laugh.

"Okay, let's continue the exam." The person in charge looked at Ueno with great satisfaction, nodded, and continued to patrol around with his hands behind his back.

Noon, lunch time.

On the rooftop.

This time, not only Sora, Haizaki, and Yagami are there, but also the rest of the basketball team.

This place seems to have become Ueno's basketball team's exclusive lunch spot.

However, there were also small groups of people having lunch in other parts of the rooftop.

Ueno found a good spot, opened his lunchbox, and started eating the rice ball.

His lunch today consisted of six rice balls and some other side dishes.

In the corner of the balcony, Kong ate his meal, seemingly lost in thought.

"Oh no, I'm definitely going to fail this exam again."

Seeing Kong like this, everyone had gotten used to it.

But what was unexpected was the way Kyoichi was acting at this moment. Normally, he should have been shouting and yelling at the same time.

Why is this guy so quiet right now?

Seeing everyone looking at him, Shang Jingyi shrugged, looking confident of victory.

"These are the exam questions? You think they can stump me?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

"Uh-huh."

"..." Shangjing was speechless.

After lunch, seeing that there was still some time, everyone started chatting.

Yi leaned against the wall, looking down at the students below who looked like ants, and Xin sighed, "I thought these three years would just pass by uneventfully, but I never expected this final year to be like this..."

Upon hearing this, Murasame-mae and Kimura-ri, both in the third grade, couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, I never thought that in my last year, I would have the opportunity to compete with so many experts."

Compared to Ueno and the other freshmen who had just entered the school, Shin and his friends were about to leave.

Naturally, their thoughts would be different.

"Don't worry, seniors, we will definitely lift the trophy when you graduate."

"Hahaha, of course."

“That’s right, with my uncle from the capital here, there’s definitely no problem.”

"........."

………………

The next day.

weekend.

The summer season matches continue.

This time, Ueno and his team's opponent is Jorin High School.

stadium.

The locker room at Dongda University.

Compared to Ueno and the others who had changed into their jerseys, Haizaki was dressed casually, with his arms crossed, leaning against the side watching everyone.

Coach Xinhe looked serious. "Our opponent this time is very strong; they are a dark horse team. So everyone must give it their all. Now I'll outline a strategy..."

This summer tournament has two dark horses: one is Seirin, and the other is their own Tokyo University.

What's most shocking is that one team had never participated in a competition before, and the other was a team that had only been established for two years.

"Finally, you need to pay attention to their ace, Kagami Taiga." Coach Xinhe flipped through the documents in his hand.

"Alright, that's basically it. Everyone take a break, the competition is about to begin."

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Ueno looked at Coach Shinkawa, who had mentioned leaving out one person, and quickly said, "Coach, there's still one person."

"Hmm?" Coach Xinhe looked at Ueno with a puzzled expression, and everyone else looked over as well.

"Kukichi Teppei!" Ueno said in a condensed voice.

Although Teppei Kiyoshi only emerged during the Winter Tournament, everything is now changing because of his arrival, and the world is no longer proceeding as he remembers.

Therefore, some reminders are necessary.

"Teppei Kijima?" Coach Xinhe pondered, the name sounding familiar.

"Tetsushin, one of the Five Uncrowned Generals, is also the founder of the Seirin Basketball Team."

Thinking about his memories of his past life, Ueno said softly.

"What?! Another one of the Five Uncrowned Generals?"

"The founder of the Seirin High School basketball team?"

Seeing the puzzled looks on Kamijou Ichika and Sora's faces, Coach Shinkawa suddenly remembered something and said with a serious expression, "That's right, Ueno reminded me this time. There's another troublesome guy, Kiyoshi Teppei. This guy's rebounding is very strong. If he's on the court, Yagami, you'd better be careful."

As he spoke, Coach Xinhe looked toward Yagami.

If Yagami could grow into someone like Teppei Kiyoshi, then their team would basically be complete.

"Yes, coach."

Yagami nodded seriously.

Chapter 133 The match begins, Tokyo University vs. Shiro Rin

On Shiro Rin's side.

As both coach and manager, Reiko was also busy devising tactics.

It's safe to say that this opponent is the strongest they've ever faced in the competition.

Because they had already been defeated by Tokyo University once.

Fortunately, they defeated Kaijo High School.

That's how we got another chance.

However, if they fail this time, they will be completely eliminated.

"Vulcan, Tokyo University's ace, I can only entrust Ueno Juri to you."

Reiko couldn't think of any good way to restrain Ueno Juri, the ace of the University of Tokyo.

In the end, we had no choice but to resort to the stupid method, which was also the most effective one.

Ace vs. Ace.

"Yes, Coach." Nodding, Kagami had begun to acknowledge Reiko as his coach. Recalling Ueno's terror, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but he was mostly excited.

Finally, I get to face you again, Ueno.

After settling things with Vulcan, Reiko turned to the others and said with utmost seriousness, "Everyone must win today's match."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded emphatically.

"Players from Todai High School and Seirin High School, please prepare to enter the field."

"Players from Todai High School and Seirin High School, please prepare to enter the field."

"Players from Todai High School and Seirin High School, please prepare to enter the field."

Just as everyone was resting, a broadcast suddenly came on, causing everyone to tense up.

"Let's go." As the team leader, Hinata raised his hand to push up his glasses, exchanged a glance with Reiko, nodded, and took the lead in pushing open the door and walking out.

"Okay." Everyone nodded and followed.

Walking at the back of the group, Kagami felt someone tug at his sleeve. He turned around and saw it was Reiko.

Reiko's resolute expression had vanished, replaced by worry on her face.

"Vulcan, you must win!"

"Don't worry, we'll definitely win." Vulcan nodded.

Looking at Vulcan, a pleading look suddenly appeared in Reiko's eyes.

"Kagami-kun, you must win, because, because, this is their last year!" As she spoke, Reiko's eyes glistened with tears.

"Master, everyone has trained their hardest for this day, so please, Vulcan, you must win!"

Upon hearing this, Vulcan's eyes flickered, his hands clenched into fists, and he nodded firmly at Reiko; "Yes."

Turning around to catch up with the main group, Vulcan's gaze became incredibly firm, and his steps were heavier than before.
