Juri Ueno from Kuroko's Basketball

The others in the locker room sat silently on the benches, heads bowed.

A corner.

"Oh!"

Hinata slammed his fist against the wall, tears finally streaming down his face. His eyes were filled with self-reproach as he choked out a low sob.

"The Summer Split is over! That's awful!"

"Yes, the Summer Split is over."

Standing not far away, Jun did not step forward, but slowly looked up at the azure sky, a faint smile on his face.

With his back to Shun, Hinata trembled slightly.

"I'm sorry, you promised to bring..."

"Hinata!"

Interrupting the other person, he turned to look at Hinata and, seeing her back, laughed out loud: "Hinata, if you act like this, everyone will be sad."

Turning his head to glance at the distance, Jun's gaze returned to Hyuga, and he continued with a laugh, "Everyone is waiting for you to come back!"

Not far away, Hei Zi and the others were quietly waiting for them.

Upon hearing this, Hinata's body trembled slightly, and she took off her glasses and wiped away her tears.

"Okay, you know."

Turning to look at Jun, Hyuga was taken aback when she saw his slightly red eyes, then smiled and walked towards him.

"Let's go!"

"Ok!"

Seeing Hinata's expression, Jun didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded, then followed her.

Hinata slowly walked towards Kuroko and the others. When he passed Junshi, Hinata paused slightly, pushed up his glasses, and said softly.

"Thank you, Jun."

Looking at Hyuga in front of him, Shun was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

...............

On the bus.

The group, who had been so excited just moments before, were now huddled in their seats, snoring all over the bus.

Listening to the snoring, Haizaki's expression remained calm.

Normally, he would be very irritable, but for some reason, looking at the clear sky outside the window, he felt incredibly calm today.

I sat in the passenger seat.

As a coach, although he wasn't as tired as Ueno and his teammates at the moment, he was still on edge while Ueno was playing.

Coach Shinkawa glanced in the rearview mirror and looked at Haizaki sitting quietly in the corner, then slowly let out a big yawn.

He closed his eyes; he was also a little tired.

………………

The next day.

Monday.

The entrance to the University of Tokyo.

Dragging his somewhat tired body, Ueno glanced at the equally exhausted Kurumaya Sora and scratched his head speechlessly.

"I'm so sleepy!"

Beside him, Kurumi Sora, sporting panda eyes, yawned.

"You were also harassed by phone calls from a senior from Beijing?"

Nodding somewhat helplessly, Ueno's gaze involuntarily drifted to last night.

Everything was fine when I got back yesterday.

But around 11 or 12 o'clock at night, his phone rang.

He was a senior from Beijing, and he insisted on chatting with him for an hour.

In the end, he didn't even know how he fell asleep.

He was a little confused. The other person was so energetic yesterday, how could they still have energy at night?

Upon arriving at the classroom, Ueno sat down in her seat, slumped over, and began to doze off.

At that moment, he didn't notice that everyone in the class was looking at him with great interest.

On the classroom's newspaper rack, there was a report about campus sports, with a picture of his match against Seirin the day before on the cover.

Chapter 56 Mock Test Assessment

Tokyo University High School.

After a full day of classes, Ueno spent at least two-thirds of his time sleeping.

With his backpack slung over his shoulder, Ueno swayed and walked out of the classroom.

But when he glanced at it casually, he froze.

He was sitting in the front row.

A familiar figure appeared from behind; a gray-haired guy was fast asleep, slumped over the table.

"Haizaki?"

Ueno stepped forward, wanting to get a better look.

When I saw the other person's profile, it was indeed Haizaki Shogo.

After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and pushed the other person.

Shaked by Ueno, Haizaki opened his eyes impatiently.

"what?"

"Shall we go to the basketball court?"

Upon hearing this, Haizaki, though impatient, stood up, picked up his unopened schoolbag, yawned widely, and followed Ueno.

Just as Ueno and Haizaki arrived outside the classroom, they saw Sora and Osaka talking to each other. Sora's expression wasn't particularly good, while Osaka remained calm.

When they saw Ueno come out, Kurumaya Sora and the others quickly came over.

"Ueno."

"What's wrong, A-Kong?"

With an extremely serious expression, Kurumaya Sora looked at Ueno and said solemnly, "Doesn't Ueno know?"

Seeing Kurumaya Sora's serious expression, Ueno couldn't help but calm himself down. Could it be something serious?

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Looking at Ueno, Kurumaya Sora said solemnly, "Tomorrow, tomorrow is the mock test assessment!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ueno looked at Kurumani Sora with a shocked expression.

"Is it a mock test assessment?"

After calculating the time, it seems that it has indeed been about a month.

Japanese universities conduct mock tests every month.

If you don't do well on the exam, it will be a real problem.

For Ueno, however, the problem is not too big.

I wouldn't say I'd get a high score, but I should at least get a passing grade.

However, Kurumani Sora is a bit different.

Just as Kurumaya Sora was about to say something to Ueno, his gaze suddenly stopped on Haizaki behind Ueno.

"Haizaki-san?"

Haizaki glanced at Kurumani Sora, then ignored him and walked between Ueno and Kurumani Sora towards the basketball court.

Looking at Haizaki's retreating figure, Kurumaya Sora felt a little curious.

"Are you in the same class as Haizaki-san, Ueno?"

Nodding, Ueno smiled helplessly. He was also surprised to see this guy as soon as he woke up.

"Okay, let's go too!"

The basketball court at Dongda University.

As soon as he stepped onto the basketball court, Ueno sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

Immediately, the three of them became somewhat serious, while Haizaki yawned as he walked inside.
