Kuroko: I had already won the championship before the miracle happened.

Come on.

……

the next day.

Kuroko Tetsuya began to concentrate on studying "Introduction to Magic".

Simulate it in your mind.

While thinking.

The notes hidden behind the textbook in class were filled with ideas about how to achieve 'misdirection' and the framework of the passing method that Captain Nijimura had mentioned, which he had carefully recorded for fear of forgetting.

After the cultural classes of the day were over.

Kuroko Tetsuya started trying during training.

but……

Sure enough, the effect was not good.

His teammates and coach kept looking at him. His 'misdirection' failed, and his consecutive outrageous passing errors only attracted more attention.

So after the training session.

Kuroko Tetsuya took the initiative to find the three-army coach Nagamura Hiroshi.

"Want to stay and train tonight?"

"Yes, yes..."

"but……"

"You're late. The permission to use the arena at night was borrowed a month ago. You'll probably have to coordinate the time of use with him yourself..."

Heizi Zhe was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought of such a situation.

"Who is that?"

"what……"

"It's the first team's regular starter, Reiji Fukaya."

……

A week later.

Tri-Service Arena.

Kuroko Tetsuya and the starting senior whose bangs covered his eyes had been training peacefully every night for a week.

period……

The two of them only talk when they meet and separate every night.

Intersection in training.

Only when Kuroko was practicing that strange 'eye-guiding' technique would Fukaya Reiji occasionally cast him an unexpected look.

of course.

With that pair of bangs, the haters can't be seen at all.

shuh~

shuh~

shuh~

"Amazing."

Kuroko Tetsuya breathed slightly.

Looking at the starting seniors in the opposite half, throwing and catching the ball by themselves, shooting from all angles of the court, I couldn't help but show envy in my eyes.

“What a quick move!”

This senior from Fukaya, after throwing the ball, would dribble once the moment he caught the ball, and then he would shoot very quickly.

The hit rate is quite high.

At least among the limited number of people I've met, Midorima-san is probably the only one who can have that kind of hit rate.

but……

Senior Fukaya also has that instantaneous ability to catch the ball and break free from control.

The height and angle of each throw are different, but the connection and control movements at each moment of catching the ball are incredibly smooth, almost like dancing.

at this time.

Under Kuroko Tetsuya's gaze, Fukaya Reiji suddenly stopped.

And took a deep breath.

Tsk~!

Kuroko Tetsuya: “!?”

Under Kuroko's surprised gaze, Fukaya Reiji used a rubber band to gather all the hair on his forehead to the back of his head, and then tied it tightly.

Turn around.

He met Fukaya Reiji's sharp eyes.

"senior……"

"Why today..."

He stopped himself from saying something that might have been a little rude and asked, "Did training end early today?"

Fukaya Reiji nodded, and for the first time in this week, he spoke at length.

"Ah."

"ended."

"Maybe a little arrogant..."

"but……"

"This should be the moment."

Although he knew very well that he had no chance of defeating that monster, the gap was obvious in terms of physical strength, skills, and even practical experience.

but……

Can't wait.

Fukaya Reiji could feel the speed at which his own strength was increasing and the speed at which his opponent's strength was increasing. Perhaps... this was the last chance.

All the courage he could muster...

"Challenge the strongest moment!"

Chapter 107: The moment when a mortal's talent blossoms!

Kuroko Tetsuya and Fukaya Reiji. When Yu Qiuren walked into the gym at the agreed time, he saw this strange but inexplicably suitable combination.

Simultaneously.

He also noticed that Fukaya Reiji's bangs were lifted up, and his sharp eyes were revealed as if they had been unsealed.

"Zero..."

slap~

Shigure Akito had just started calling out a name when Fukaya Reiji suddenly threw the basketball in his hand over to him, and then Shigure Akito caught it in his hand.

"Shigure."

"Ever since I joined the First Army."

"And your 1v1..."

"You haven't scored a single goal, have you?"

Shigure Akito: "..."

indeed.

Can score under his defense.

Especially 1v1.

There was probably only one person, Nijimura Shuzo.

So after entering the second grade, he was no longer very keen on 1v1, from the beginning of school to now, no, it should be from the vacation after the end of the first grade to now.

He and Fukaya Reiji have never fought each other.

but.

Shigure Akito was quite surprised.

After all, even if he didn't take the initiative to fight, like Reiji Fukaya who was promoted to the first team in 06 last year, he was extremely tenacious and became more and more courageous with each battle. However, it has been more than two months this year, and Reiji has actually gone against his usual behavior and held back.

now.

After hearing what Fukaya Reiji said, Shigure Akito couldn't help but think of what Nijimura said that day, "A challenger who has experienced setbacks, I think he seems to be ready."

so……

It's you, Reiji.

Shi Yu Qiuren suddenly became interested, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips: "I mean, I'm ready. In other words, are you confident that you can beat me now?"

Fukaya Reiji slowly lowered his waist.

The hem of his shorts was pulled up.

"The current Fukaya Reiji."

"After receiving the ball, there is no hesitation."

I have neither extraordinary physique nor talent, I am so ordinary, but now I am standing in front of you, Fukaya Reiji, I am definitely not a weakling, even if it is just a ball...

"Please come with all your strength..."

"Shigure."

For the first time, Fukaya Reiji showed his expression to him without reservation, so Shigure Akito could feel his determination even without paying too much attention to the flaming determination in his eyes.

especially……

kick off.

Directly give yourself the right to attack.

"I understand, Reiji."

"Old rules."

"5 goals."

Shigure Akito grabs the ball with one hand in a triple threat stance.

"bring it on."

"Shigure."

With a serious expression, Fukaya Reiji lowered his body and walked towards Shigure Akito. He was 180 cm tall, and the difference of 4 cm between him and Shigure Akito was not enough to cause a significant static height difference.

Fukaya Reiji: “…”

At the beginning, it is basically normal.

step back.

Lateral protrusion.

Bad luck.

Lean over to a very low center of gravity and break through.
