Hayama Kotarō experienced the feeling of Yuuto playing against Teiko in the simulation.
He exchanged high shot attempts for a team-high 30 points.
However.
Tōhō lost wildly to Homi Academy by 38 points in the whole game.
His current feeling was simply terrible.
Clearly last year he was still the future star, the best small forward in the country, the Lightning Beast, a genius in people's eyes.
Result: in just one year, everything changed.
He changed from Little Sweetie to Madam Niu (Monkey King reference - became unloved/old news), beaten by Yuuto until he was ecstatic (in pain/misery).
The referee's whistle tore through the air.
The game ended. Homi Academy 108:80 Tōhō, advancing to the next round.
In this game.
Yuuto hacked a game-high 43 points. Stats in rebounds, steals, and assists decreased.
Instead, his teammates, under the various flings of his fingers, improved their defensive stats.
Through today's battle, his "Hand of God" can be considered famous.
"Congratulations, you won."
"We won, not me."
Yuuto originally wanted to throw two sentences of trash talk, but seeing his teammates' eyes over here, he changed his words immediately.
Hearing this, Sakurai Ryō and others instantly felt they followed the right person, becoming satisfied.
Yuuto saw this and was very satisfied with his masterpiece, thinking this bullshit Iron Heart talent is quite useful.
Amidst applause.
Yuuto shook hands with Hayama amicably, then led his steel legion off the court.
Then, he walked out of the arena.
"Yuuto-kun!"
"..."
Yuuto met Kuroko Tetsuya as expected, or rather Kuroko waited here specifically.
This time.
He wasn't scared by Kuroko, after all, this bastard squats at this spot every time, never changing places.
"Kuroko Tetsuya... right?"
"Hai!"
Kuroko Tetsuya was surprised that Yuuto actually knew him.
His special nature led to him rarely being noticed.
Even if he exerted great effort in the game, the light always belonged to Aomine and the others.
"What do you want with me?" Yuuto asked knowingly.
Kuroko probably wasn't used to Yuuto's capable style of going straight to the point.
After stunning for a moment, he said to Yuuto with a serious face, "Yuuto-kun, please defeat Teiko!"
Kuroko spoke with an expression of "this is my lifelong request."
Yuuto's response was a simple, "Kotowaru" (I refuse).
"..." Hearing this, Kuroko's eyelids drooped, disappointment unable to be hidden in his eyes.
Then he heard Yuuto say.
"Satsuki has already told me about your matters. That guy also said similar things to you."
Yuuto deliberately looked into the distance when speaking, very deep.
Hearing this, Kuroko's expression gained some hope.
"My answer remains unchanged. I refuse."
"Regarding defeating Teiko, even if you guys don't say it, I will go all out to do it, but this has nothing to do with your request."
"Since it is something I determined to do, I will go all out to do it. What does asking others count for?"
"You guys stop self-touching (being self-righteous/emotional) here. If you want something, fight for it yourself. I am not your Aladdin's lamp."
After finishing speaking, Yuuto tightened his backpack and moved his legs to leave, leaving Kuroko standing alone in place.
He repeated the words Yuuto said in his brain constantly. The thought that he once had, but found unable to achieve, and finally buried in his heart, was thoroughly lit up at this moment.
"Little Kuroko, why are you still here? Going back now."
At this time, Kise walked over to call Kuroko back to school.
Teiko.
Has an exclusive bus!
"What are you looking at?" Seeing him still dazing, Kise looked in the direction of his gaze but found nothing.
"Nothing." Kuroko turned his head and smiled. "Let's go back."
"Oh... mhm."
Kise felt Kuroko suddenly became strange.
The haze accumulated these days seemed to have been dispelled by the sun.
....
On the other side.
After Yuuto and Sora returned home, they began to think about dinner.
Haruka went out on a date. Yuuto guessed nine out of ten times they went out to play poker (have sex) and definitely wouldn't be back for a while.
Damn it, clearly only second year of middle school, the girl only third year; why so impatient?
Aren't they afraid of becoming weak starting at twenty!
But without Haruka, the two geniuses, Sora and Yuuto, finally knew Haruka's importance.
After staring at each other for a while, Sora volunteered, "Leave tonight's dinner to me!"
She planned to show off her wife power properly, lest Yuuto always underestimate her.
Yuuto didn't give any face. "Forget it. Just eating a meal, no need to go to the Yellow Springs (die) together."
"Bastard Yuuto, what do you mean!"
"Literal meaning, genius! Aren't you first in the grade in liberal arts? Can't even understand this." Yuuto took out his phone. "Order takeout. What do you want to eat?"
Sora didn't speak, clutching that black bunny plushie, staring at Yuuto like an angry little lion.
"How about seafood fried rice?"
"If you don't speak, I'll take it as you agreed."
Yuuto quickly settled dinner. Sora was still sulking; when eating, she gnawed while staring at him dead on.
Psycho!
...
Night.
In front of Old Ma's black and white photo, Yuuto lit three cigarettes for him.
"Last gamble."
"Simulation, start!"
Yuuto roared loudly in his heart with full energy.
The next second, the simulation interface emerged before his eyes.
[Simulator Starting]
[Random Talent Draw]
[Drawing Talent: Tezuka Zone]
"?????"
Yuuto froze immediately upon seeing these four words (characters).
"No, don't bully me for reading few books. Isn't this clearly a skill?"
The name of Killer Tennis resonates like thunder in his ears.
Among them, Tezuka Kunimitsu, who was pit miserably by the old hag Ryuzaki and bound for life by a senior's sentence "You must become Seigaku's pillar," is his favorite character.
And the Tezuka Zone is one of Tezuka Kunimitsu's trademarks.
Speaking of which, Tezuka Zone was not first developed by Tezuka Kunimitsu.
The big BOSS Echizen Nanjiro could control the opponent's return position at will relying on powerful personal ability during his professional stage.
And Tezuka Kunimitsu, he already did it in junior high...
No wonder fans say his talent is higher than the protagonist.
In addition, this thing is also known as a god-level skill of the professional level. Although by the later stages of the manga, professional bros didn't have much persuasive power.
Yuuto continued to read down.
[Congratulations on obtaining Purple Talent: Tezuka Zone]
[Tezuka Zone: Drive the basketball's movement trajectory with extreme ball control. The skill range is affected by the Technique attribute.]
Very simple introduction.
But once related to the word "extreme," things become not simple.
[After defeating Tōhō, you returned home and argued with Sora over the dinner issue.]
[Finally, you overpowered Sora and chose to order takeout. You also cleverly ignored Sora's materialized resentment, finished dinner, and returned to your room to start a pleasant simulation.]
[You drew the talent Tezuka Zone. You fell into deep thought.]
[You got out of bed, walked out of the house under Sora's fierce yet milky gaze to try the Tezuka Zone.]
[The next day.]
[Round of 16 match (16 to 8), you encountered the strong enemy Teiko.]
[You were kicked to death.]
"Congratulations, went out and got hit by a Big G (G-Wagon)."
Yuuto gritted his teeth.
Obviously, the Tezuka Zone talent couldn't help him kill Teiko.
[Soon after, news of Teiko defending their title appeared in national newspapers.]
[They became famous nationwide with incredibly strong strength, hailed by fans as the Generation of Miracles.]
[You, who caused the most trouble for Teiko, were also eye-catching.]
[Reports captured your expression after losing the ball. They said your eyes looking at Teiko at that time were like a hungry lion looking at its prey.]
[People call you the Lion of Okukozome.]
[Homi Academy basketball club held a retirement ceremony. You became the next basketball club captain.]
[Summer vacation arrived.]
[The Kasugano siblings proposed a family trip.]
[You agreed. You were dragged by Sora to buy swimsuits.]
[You knew the way, walking into the changing room intuitively. Sora walked in blushing. You did some strange things inside.]
[You knew this was a simulation, so you were very presumptuous.]
