How could Yuuto handle it?
He won't handle anything; if she loves to sulk, let her sulk.
Night.
After finishing training and returning home, Yuuto took a shower and lay back in his room.
Simulation, start.
[Simulator Starting]
[Random Talent Draw in Progress]
[Drawing Talent: Iron Heart]
[Congratulations on obtaining Blue Talent: Iron Heart]
[Iron Heart: You possess a steel-like fighting spirit from the day you were born. No matter the environment, no matter the moment, nothing can make you back down. Your fighting spirit will involuntarily infect those around you. Spirit attribute +10.]
"First Hyuga Junpei, and now Kiyoshi Teppei?"
Yuuto looked at the talent speechlessly.
This thing.
Can't say it's useless, but its usefulness doesn't seem that great either.
A 10-point increase in the Spirit attribute looks great.
The problem is that until now, he hasn't fully figured out the usage of the Spirit attribute.
"Could it be that next you'll give me a Mental Assassination talent or something?"
Simulation began.
[After successfully breaking out of the group stage, you returned home and opened the simulator again.]
[You obtained the blue talent Iron Heart, greatly strengthening your mental power.]
[This reminded you of Ochi Tsukimitsu from the tennis set next door. You wondered if Mental Assassination has potential?]
[The next day.]
[You stared at Haruka with big eyes early in the morning. You started trying Mental Assassination on him; you couldn't bear to do it to Sora!]
[Haruka was stared at by you until he felt uncomfortable all over, thinking he had done something to wrong you.]
[The attempt failed. You feel that unless you draw the Mental Assassination talent, you cannot master the usage of Mental Assassination.]
[Today is the day of the Round Robin. You led the team to the arena.]
[You passed the opponent's locker room. It was very quiet inside. Except for the head coach's occasional voice, no communication from the opponents could be heard.]
[They have defaulted that they cannot defeat Homi Academy, cannot defeat you.]
[Your power makes them despair.]
[The game started.]
[You started testing the freshly baked blue talent Iron Heart.]
[Your opponents had low fighting spirit and gave up the game early.]
[Especially when you staged a 1-past-2 dunk over the opponent's center at the start, obliterating the little hope remaining in their hearts.]
[Your opponent today is the overlord of Tochigi Prefecture, possessing the best center in the prefecture.]
[Besides an excellent body model, he also has exquisite skills under the basket and a decent mid-range shot as a deterrent.]
[But he suffered a bloody block from you in the subsequent offense, extremely miserable.]
[The more the opponent played, the lower their morale. In contrast, you guys played more and more bravely.]
[Under the influence of Iron Heart, you were like a torrent of steel, ruthlessly destroying the opponent.]
[Momoi Satsuki did not go to the scene today; she watched the game via live broadcast.]
[Seeing your changes, she sincerely regretted, regretting that if Aomine were playing beside you, maybe things would be different.]
[She believes you possess a charm invisible to outsiders, always able to influence everyone around you imperceptibly.]
[In just one day, your teammates played a wonderful game under your influence, with a refreshing mental outlook.]
"At least I don't have to worry about low team morale anymore."
Yuuto in the outside world was fairly satisfied with the Iron Heart talent.
After all, it's a blue talent, and a spirit-related talent; he can't ask for too much.
[You won wildly by 18 points in a single quarter.]
[Second quarter, you still played with all the main force.]
[Unlike professional leagues, most participating teams in the National Tournament only have one chance. Under normal circumstances, the rotation players will not exceed 8.]
[In individual extreme cases, it is very common for five main players to play through the entire National Tournament.]
[You thought of Seirin in the main series. They played an 8-man rotation, and that was because of Kuroko Tetsuya's special nature allowing him to only output for 20 minutes. Otherwise, they would probably only have a 7-man rotation.]
[You started practicing tactics. You won wildly by 20 points in the single quarter again. You established a 38-point advantage at halftime.]
[You won, winning without any suspense.]
[You successfully won the first game of the Round Robin.]
[The next day, you still didn't disappoint, ending the suspense of this year's qualifying spot in just half a game.]
[In the two Round Robin games, you scored 50+ and 50+ respectively. You were elected the Prefectural Tournament MVP!]
[You obtained the National Tournament qualification for Tochigi Prefecture.]
[You obtained a precious half-month recovery time.]
[You increased technical practice. You started learning and controlling Hayama Kotarō's Lightning Dribble.]
[The Big Fundamental allowed you to master fingertip dribbling very early, but to reach Hayama Kotarō's level, it takes quite some time.]
[Day 1: You were practicing.]
[Day 2: You were still practicing.]
[Day 3... On this day, you accidentally discovered another usage of the Spirit attribute.]
[You suddenly thought of Kagami's second challenge to Aomine in the main series. He once simulated the result of the battle between the two in his mind.]
[You made a phone call to Momoi Satsuki. You got all the intelligence on Hayama Kotarō from her.]
[Then, as you obtained Hayama Kotarō's precise data and Momoi Satsuki's prediction blessing, a three-dimensional model of Hayama Kotarō was constructed in your brain.]
[You started battling Hayama Kotarō in your brain.]
[Your learning speed for the Lightning Dribble accelerated!]
"Unexpected joy."
Yuuto in the outside world lit up seeing his simulated self's operation.
This way, he can gain more time to improve.
Even while resting, he can continue to conduct simulated battles in his brain.
[This discovery surprised you.]
[Immediately after, you asked Momoi Satsuki to also give you all of Mibuchi Reo's intelligence, including game tapes.]
[You started simulating the battle with Mibuchi Reo and learning. Your Heaven, Earth, and Void shots were refined.]
[Your training intensity increased again. You were so tired every day that you wanted to sleep immediately upon returning home.]
[Sora made trouble unreasonably several times, finding that you fell asleep as soon as you got home.]
[She thought you cared about her. She launched a night raid at night, but found that no matter how she tossed, you slept like a dead pig.]
["Idiot Yuuto!" Sora was so angry she stepped on your face, but you remained indifferent. Finally, she could only return to her room in annoyance.]
"Really getting more and more lawless!"
Yuuto in the outside world looked righteous, but for some reason, there was always a little expectation in his heart?
[The next day, you ate breakfast refreshingly and left home to continue training.]
[In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.]
[The National Tournament opened. You took the subway to Tokyo.]
