Afternoon.
Momoi Satsuki walked briskly into this arena rich with the marks of the era.
At this time.
She should have been following Teiko on the court in Tokyo.
However, understanding the competitors in the Tokyo area this year, Momoi Satsuki judged that she was no longer needed there.
No one can stop Teiko's advancing pace.
Rather, in her heart, it would be better if a team threatening Teiko could appear.
Thinking of those boys in the basketball club, her mood couldn't help but become heavy.
However.
When watching the live broadcast yesterday, she accidentally discovered a very interesting player.
Yuuto!
Compared to a year ago, it was like he became a different person.
The ordinary playing style suddenly became incomparably sharp, crushing opponents with the simplest and most effective offense and defense.
And that mid-range shot that even Ki-chan felt a bit strenuous to imitate... on the surface, Yuuto isn't simple.
It would be great if he could make her childhood friend regain his original intention of playing basketball.
Since that day.
That childhood friend who never left the ball almost never touches a basketball except for games.
"What an idiot!"
With a trace of curiosity, Momoi Satsuki came to Tochigi Prefecture.
She actually didn't hold too much expectation.
After all, the level Yuuto showed on TV was still far from Teiko's starters.
But the moment she stepped into the arena and arrived at the match court.
"Roar!"
Without any warning, she seemed to hear the roar of a giant beast.
Looking closely, Yuuto was pinning the handsome blond guy's layup on the backboard with an extremely brutal block.
A bursting loud noise erupted at the scene, followed closely by the fanatical cheers of the fans on the scene.
"Wildness! The feeling is even stronger than what Ah-Dai gives!"
"How can this be?!"
Momoi Satsuki's pink pupils widened bit by bit to the maximum.
Continuing to watch.
Yuuto plucked the basketball from the air, landed, turned around, and accelerated suddenly.
The opponent returned to defense quickly and organized the defense.
Still three people, surrounding Yuuto in a triangle.
And Yuuto.
His eyes emitting scarlet light, he killed directly over with the ball.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The basketball hit the ground and bounced several times; every time it hit the ground, Yuuto would make a body movement.
It was the playing style seen on TV yesterday.
Not flashy, having a heaviness of returning to original simplicity, but the aggression was more than doubled.
In just one encounter, he tore open the opponent's three-man defense line, killed into the paint, and smashed the rim with one hand.
Bang!
Like the sound of breaking glass, or the wailing of the rim.
"Wow!"
The scene boiled over, shouting and cheering loudly for his wonderful performance.
"So strong!"
"Can't stop him at all; this is a 3-man defense!"
"14th point personally scored in the single quarter!"
"Yuuto! Is there anyone who can stop him? That Englishman was blown out by him!"
"Is Tochigi Prefecture's qualification going to be taken by Homi Academy again this year?"
"..."
Unreasonable attack power; one person is enough to tear apart the opponent's defense line, brutal to the extreme.
Momoi Satsuki saw this, and her heart trembled violently.
"Exactly the same..."
Such a scene seemed like a reappearance of yesterday.
From simply thinking he could settle the battle and giving up passing choices at the beginning, to completely abandoning the option of passing later.
Placing the individual above the entire team.
Momoi Satsuki watched quietly.
For a full quarter, Yuuto's passes were very limited.
She flipped through the memories in her mind. Yesterday's Yuuto.
Let alone a siege of 3 people, even a blockade of 2 people, he would pass the ball to a teammate in a better position without hesitation.
Not today!
He blasted an amazing 20 points in a single quarter. This is a game with only 10 minutes per quarter, not the NBA's 12-minute quarter game.
"Clearly only one day apart, why..."
"And, Yuuto-classmate runs faster than yesterday."
Momoi Satsuki forgot to record.
She stared blankly at the game progress.
One quarter, two quarters, three quarters, and then the game ended.
Yuuto won!
Won without any suspense.
"Is this my limit?"
Yuuto looked at his technical statistics, blasting 66 points in the whole game.
He felt he had really done the best he could currently do.
Unfortunately, except for simulation, the system didn't give him the limit he could reach.
Lacking a reference, he didn't know if he had already achieved the ultimate he could reach.
The game ended.
Yuuto led Homi Academy to a big victory over the opponent, a crazy massacre of 56 points.
Then.
"What kind of game is this? Can't win at all!"
"By the way, why does such a guy appear in this kind of place?"
"You don't need to look at me like that. Do you know what kind of monster you are?"
Yuuto was still thinking about his limit, and the opponents over there were already looking over with resentful eyes.
"Exactly the same..." Momoi Satsuki felt as if her heart was grabbed.
Even though she and Yuuto are complete strangers.
But in this situation, she worried for Yuuto.
"Hey, what are you guys saying!"
Ota was also shocked by Yuuto's changes.
Even as a teammate, he felt unfamiliar.
His performance in this game was simply thunder-striking level.
He alone scored more points than the opponent's entire team combined.
However.
No matter what he becomes, Yuuto is still his teammate, his junior.
Ota stood directly in front of Yuuto.
"Just stating facts. Clearly so strong, what are you doing running to this kind of countryside place?"
"Leave us some chance, damn monster!"
A first-year player from the opponent shouted at Yuuto at the top of his lungs.
Ota wanted to speak but was patted on the shoulder by Yuuto.
"Chance? What right do guys standing in place waiting for a chance to fall have to talk to me about chances?"
Yuuto temporarily put aside the simulation matter.
"If you want something, fight for it yourself. Dreams won't come true just because you shout a few slogans like 'I want to conquer the whole country'."
"You spend time paying court to girls you like, spend time singing karaoke with friends, participating in group dates organized by others."
"After every indulgence, you imagine you can win till the end? Don't make me laugh. Guys like you will be losers no matter what you do. Disappear from my sight quickly!"
Yuuto's sharp words directly broke the opponent's defense.
He even wanted to make a move for a moment but was forced back by a look from Yuuto.
"See? This is your limit. You don't even have the courage to take a step forward!"
Yuuto put away his cold eyes, turned around, and left with the team members.
Momoi Satsuki watched from a distance and murmured, "Courage..."
