Juri Ueno from Kuroko's Basketball

Seeing that Ueno had also spoken up, Sora's expression immediately became complicated, and she secretly glanced at Haizaki in Class A.

Could it be that he's really going to get that guy to tutor him?

Chapter 58 I refuse

Tokyo University High School.

It's lunchtime now.

On the roof of the teaching building.

Enjoying the gentle breeze and feeling its coolness, Ueno slowly opened her arms, closed her eyes in contentment, and quietly savored the breeze.

aside.

While Ueno was enjoying the gentle breeze, Kurumaya Sora was secretly observing Haizaki with a complicated expression.

He picked up a rice ball and stuffed it into his mouth. As he chewed, his face showed signs of struggle.

Meanwhile, Osaka was eating an extra-large lunch while her gaze kept lingering on Sora and Haizaki.

He now really hopes that Haizaki can tutor Sora.

That way, he won't have to go through the pain of last night.

After enjoying the breeze for a while, Ueno plopped down next to Sora and Osaka and took out his lunchbox.

Meanwhile, Haizaki was sitting on the wall, eating lunch and looking around the entire Tokyo University campus.

Leaning against the wall, Ueno opened the lunch her mother had prepared, glanced at Haizaki beside her, then looked at Sora and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Didn't you go ask?"

Upon hearing this, Kong shook his head with a bitter expression.

"No."

Looking at him curiously, Ueno asked, "Are you afraid? Or are you just embarrassed?"

His expression changed, and Kurumi Sora's face flushed red as he shouted at Ueno, "Who, who dares not?"

After saying that, he glanced cautiously at Haizaki beside him.

Seeing Sora's careful movements, Ueno couldn't help but chuckle.

Then he turned to Kong and said, "Do you want me to ask around for you?"

Just as Sora was about to refuse, Ueno casually ate his lunch, pretending to be nonchalant, and said to Osaka, "Osaka, I think I heard the coach say that failing the mock test might affect our basketball competition, right? After all, we'll have to retake the test and have tutoring tonight."

Upon hearing this, Osaka was taken aback. "Really?"

But when he saw Kurumaya Sora's shocked expression and Ueno's blinking eyes, he suddenly understood.

And then, he suddenly realized that this was a possibility.

He nodded involuntarily, swallowed the food in his mouth, and nodded again.

"It seems that there is such a thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kurumaya Sora stood up abruptly, looking at Ueno and Osaka in disbelief.

"Will it affect basketball games?"

"It seems so?"

Ueno and Osaka exchanged a glance, and Ueno nodded in unison.

Sora lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then, under the watchful eyes of Ueno and Osaka, slowly lifted his foot and walked towards Haizaki.

Having mustered his courage, Kurumaya Sora stepped up to Haizaki's side, and his gaze hardened as he looked at Haizaki.

With his gaze drawn back from the distance, Haizaki looked at the empty space in front of him and frowned. Why did he suddenly have a bad feeling?

"what?"

"Please, please tutor me! Haizaki-san, please."

Thinking about what Ueno had just said, Kurumaya Sora's expression changed. He gritted his teeth, bowed deeply to Haizaki, and shouted loudly.

"I reject!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Haizaki refused outright.

Haizaki glanced at the two Uenos watching the show from the sidelines. He would never believe that Kurumaya Sora's actions had nothing to do with Ueno and the others.

With a slight tremor, Kurumaya Sora, somewhat unwilling, called out again, "Please, Haizaki-san."

"I said, I refuse."

Looking at the empty space, Haizaki refused without hesitation. He jumped down from the wall, put one hand in his pocket and held the lunchbox in the other, then turned and left the rooftop.

Watching Haizaki leave, Ueno's expression remained calm, but there was still a hint of disappointment in his eyes for Sora.

Sora, however, remained in a bowing posture.

After exchanging a glance with Osaka, Ueno walked towards Sora, a hint of worry in his eyes, and laughed out loud.

"Ah Sora, if it really doesn't work out, Osaka and I can tutor you, okay? Although your grades aren't as good as Haizaki's, you should be able to pass, right?"

Listening to Ueno's words and thinking about his performance last night, Osaka really wanted to tell Ueno that he needed to seriously consider the issue of passing the test.

He shook slightly and turned to look at Ueno.

"I'm determined to make that guy accept me."

Looking at the empty space, Ueno didn't know what to say for a moment.

Osaka, standing to the side, was even more stunned. It was just tutoring a subject, wasn't it?

How did it turn into agreement?

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

The basketball court at Dongda University.

At this moment, several figures are running back and forth on the basketball court of Dongda University, constantly touching the sidelines with their hands.

Although they won the match against Cheng Lin, Coach Xinhe still used their poor physical condition as an excuse to add several physical training sessions to their training every day.

Because their bodies hadn't fully developed during junior high school, they weren't well-suited for high-intensity physical training, and none of them had experienced formal physical training.

Therefore, in terms of physical strength, they are indeed somewhat weak.

But it's different in junior high school; their bodies are basically ready to gradually accept high-intensity physical training.

Therefore, they have an additional 30-minute mandatory training exercise every day: shuttle runs.

However, two figures were missing from the basketball court today.

Kurumiya Sora and Kamiya Kyoichi.

Because they failed their courses, the two are currently being "detained" in the classroom for make-up classes.

Normal school ends at 5:30.

As for Kurumi Sora and Kamiya Ichiro, given their special circumstances, they would have to arrive at 7:30, or even later.

After the shuttle run, Ueno and his teammates were then instructed by the coach to do frog jumps around the basketball court.

"What's wrong? Are you tired, Miyako? Do you want Kimura to carry you while you jump?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Kimura's eyes immediately turned somewhat frightened, and she looked at Miyako with concern.

I prayed silently, "No!"

Meanwhile, Miyako's gaze fell directly on Kimura. He thought this was a good option, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Sweat dripped from his forehead as Ueno followed behind Osaka, his mind racing with thoughts as he hopped around like a frog.

And this moment.

First grade, Class B.

Looking at the densely packed review questions in the book, Kurumi Sora gritted his teeth, took out his draft notebook, and began to draft and record the key points that the teacher had highlighted that day.

If he's not smart, then he'll just memorize by rote.

He still doesn't believe it.

He can't get top marks, does that mean he can't even pass?

Meanwhile, in Class C of the second grade...

With a look of utter despair, Shang Jingyi stared at the class notes left by the instructor on the blackboard, then looked down at the questions in the book.

He felt that this was the darkest moment of his life.

Thinking about the eight subjects he still had to retake, Shang Jingyi let out a wail and collapsed onto the table.

His gaze was vacant, and a tear slowly slid down his cheek.
