Juri Ueno from Kuroko's Basketball

"Huh? Want a drink? Ueno, we're not even adults yet."

"What are you thinking about? I was talking about milk tea!"

"Oh? Sorry, sorry!"

Chapter 16 Yagami Osaka

Tokyo University High School.

Grade 1, Class A.

I sat quietly in the back row by the window.

Ueno glanced at the teacher who was concentrating on lecturing, then his gaze unconsciously drifted to the cherry blossoms outside the window, and his thoughts began to wander.

Tomorrow is the friendly match against Touou High School.

Ueno didn't actually think they could beat Touou High School.

However, this is also a good opportunity for their own team to hone their skills.

It's important to understand that Toou High School is not like the University of Tokyo. Even without the addition of their ace, Aomine Daiki, they are still a strong team.

With the addition of Aomine Daiki, their strength is even greater.

As for their Tokyo University, apart from him, the rest of the players are not very strong, except for Kurumani Sora's passing and dribbling skills.

The strength of those from Kyoto is even inferior to his strength during middle school.

Therefore, their Dongda basketball team still has a long way to go.

However, winning is not impossible.

That's when he goes all out. With the support of ZONE and his beastly intuition, along with his unconventional shooting, he can definitely become a scoring machine.

However, he fears he might not be able to handle the physical strain.

He also secretly tried activating ZONE and Beast Instinct to see how long he could maintain it.

In the end, I only lasted five minutes.

Although this is not his true limit, just like the last time he fought against the Generation of Miracles.

But he estimated that it would only take six minutes at most.

If you turn on ZONE alone, it can last for nearly eight minutes.

However, relying solely on ZONE is no match for Touou.

Moreover, he wasn't the only one who had a ZONE; Aomine Daiki was also there.

With a slight sigh, Ueno looked out the window at the falling cherry blossoms.

Tomorrow will definitely be a tough battle.

As cherry blossoms fluttered outside the window.

Ueno's thoughts continued to race. If he remembered correctly, Seirin and Kaijo had also played a friendly match before the summer tournament.

And it was the rising star, Shiro Rin, who won.

If it weren't for the tight schedule lately, Ueno would have planned to go and watch the match between Shiro Rin and Kaijo.

After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle!

Thinking about his own basketball team, Ueno couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Actually, strength isn't the biggest problem; the biggest problem is the number of people.

Their basketball team only has seven players, which is far too few.

Even Shiorin High School, which has only been established for two years, has more than a dozen students.

"Ring ring ring!"

Just as Ueno was still pondering, a pleasant bell rang.

"Alright, that's all for today's lesson."

"Class dismissed, students."

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher!"

As soon as the teacher dismissed the class, only a few people remained in the classroom.

Meanwhile, in Class B of the first grade...

Just as Kurumi Sora was about to leave the classroom, an incredibly tall figure blocked his way.

Looking at the tall figure in front of him, Kurumi realized that he only reached the other's waist and couldn't help but look up at him.

"Osaka-kun, is there something you need?"

"Kong, you're on the school basketball team, right?"

Upon hearing this, Kurumi Sora looked up at the other person and nodded; "Yes."

"Can I join?"

…………

Just as Ueno was leisurely packing up his books, preparing to go for lunch, a familiar voice suddenly rang out at the classroom door.

"Ueno!"

Ueno looked over at the sound and saw Kurumaya Sora standing excitedly at the classroom door, waving at him.

Seeing the excited Kurumiya Sora, Ueno put down his book and walked over to Sora.

"Kong, what's wrong?"

Kurumaya Sora excitedly stepped aside and pointed behind him, saying, "Ueno, look."

As he spoke, Kurumiya Sora pointed behind him.

Ueno also subconsciously looked in the direction the empty finger was pointing.

A tall man, several centimeters taller than Ueno, stood quietly behind Kurumaya Sora, his somewhat messy hair obscuring most of his face.

Actually, Kurumatani Sora didn't need to give up his position; Ueno could see the opponent from there.

The main problem is that the other party is just too tall.

Looking at Ueno, Kurumaya Sora said excitedly.

"Yagami Osaka! My classmate, who didn't come to school before for other reasons, just arrived today."

"His name is Ueno Juri, our basketball team's ace!"

After introducing the two, Sora looked at Ueno and continued excitedly, "Osaka also wants to join the basketball team."

Upon hearing this, Ueno subconsciously glanced at the other person's physique and was secretly shocked. Not only was the other person tall, but their hands were also excessively long, reaching almost to his knees when held vertically.

With that height, he's definitely a rebounding powerhouse!

Yagami Osaka?

Good name.

Ueno was delighted to extend his right hand to the other person; the basketball team had finally gained another capable teammate.

"Hello, my name is Ueno Juri, nice to meet you!"

"Hello, my name is Yagami Osaka, nice to meet you!"

Because it was noon.

So Ueno and his friends didn't go to the basketball club. Instead, they found a balcony and decided to have lunch there.

Looking at Osaka sitting quietly to the side eating, Kurumaya Sora took a big bite of his bread and asked curiously, "Osaka, did you play basketball when you were in junior high school?"

Osaka nodded: "Mm."

After answering Ueno's question, he stopped talking and continued to eat his lunch in silence.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Unlike Ueno, who bought lunch at school, Kurumaya Sora and Osaka brought their own lunches to school.

Furthermore, there seems to be an astonishing number of bento boxes in Osaka.

Compared to the other person's bento, Kurumani Sora's bento box is practically a children's meal.

Looking at the silent Osaka, Kurumaya Sora was quite excited, swallowed the rice in his mouth, and said happily.

"Great, Ueno, our basketball team has gained another player."

Upon hearing this, Ueno was also very happy and nodded in agreement.

Moreover, he is very likely a formidable general.

After a moment's thought, Ueno looked at Osaka and asked, "Osaka, what position do you play?"

With his eyes hidden by his hair, Osaka turned to look at Ueno and said, "Center."

Upon hearing Osaka's words, Ueno thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
