5:0
There was no suspense at all.
Haizaki, who was at the "half-step Miracle" level, was completely no match for Yuuto, who had already reached the "minor completion of Miracle" level.
Yuuto scored five straight goals, beating Haizaki into a sorry state, stripping him of his armor and helmet.
All the skill packages Haizaki had pillaged had almost no use when facing Yuuto.
And when he attempted to pillage Yuuto's skill packages.
Haizaki found he couldn't do it.
Take the Lightning Dribble for example; no matter how he pillaged it, it remained in the shape of Hayama Kotarō.
He couldn't replicate Yuuto's charm of simplifying complexity.
This is the charm of The Big Fundamental.
With such a strong personal playing style, probably only Kise's Perfect Copy could replicate it.
The practice match ended.
The one-on-one was also finished.
Yuuto gathered everyone together again.
"I already said what I'm about to say once last year."
"Many newcomers arrived this year, so I'll say it again." Yuuto pointed to an exceptionally conspicuous place in the basketball club and said, "If your goal isn't to kill those guys, you can leave this place right now."
In that position, the newspaper of the Generation of Miracles winning the championship last year was posted.
Talking about conquering the whole country is nonsense.
If they can pass the hurdle of Teiko, they can win however they want.
"Since no one chose to leave, let's start! Everyone onto the court for shuttle runs. The last ranked person stays to clean up."
Homi Academy Basketball Club officially started running.
As the Captain, Yuuto set an example by running at the very front of the team.
Wait until club activities ended.
The last few players in training stayed behind to clean the gym.
They lamented being so tired on the first day; worthy of a team that can create history time and again.
But when they came out with brooms and other tools, they saw Yuuto still practicing extra.
"Captain, aren't you going back?"
"Don't worry about me. I will clean this half of the court personally later. You guys clean the other areas and you can go back."
Yuuto silently practiced shooting.
"Hah!"
"Heh!"
Swish!
The basketball entered the net time after time, from mid-range to the three-point line, then shifting to different positions.
"The Captain has always been like this. He is strict with the members. To himself, he is only stricter."
The old members of the basketball club were used to it, telling the newcomers not to be too surprised.
The newcomers were obedient and weren't surprised, but the admiration for Yuuto in their hearts became stronger, like a surging river flowing endlessly.
Including Haizaki.
He watched Yuuto repeating a movement tirelessly.
Suddenly felt that maybe this lunatic really could overturn Teiko.
But wanting him to practice extra? No way!
...
Night.
Haizaki changed into sportswear and looked for a court with a basketball.
He didn't know what was wrong either.
Maybe because there are too few entertainment venues in this rural place of Okukozome, or he doesn't like them.
Or maybe, though he would absolutely never admit it, he was stimulated by Yuuto.
In short, he inexplicably chose to practice extra alone.
But when he finally found a court, he found someone was already inside.
This person was none other than that lunatic Yuuto.
On the sidelines, he also saw his sister who was as cute as a princess (Sora).
"You came, Haizaki."
Yuuto also discovered him and greeted him actively.
"You knew I would come here?"
"I didn't know, but Okukozome is different from Tokyo. There are very few courts here; there are only two courts nearby."
Yuuto told him the reason.
"And I always felt that if a player has enough ambition, after losing a game, he should try every means to make himself stronger. In this regard, you didn't disappoint me, Haizaki."
Tch~
Haizaki really wanted to turn and leave, but doing so would make it seem like he was afraid of Yuuto.
He simply stepped onto the court to do his own practice.
"Let's play together; playing alone is too boring."
"Bring it on, scared of you?"
Haizaki was extremely unwilling in his heart; he knew he couldn't beat Yuuto.
But still the same saying.
If I don't agree, others might think I'm afraid of Yuuto.
Then.
Don't know how long passed, Haizaki opened his eyes looking at the night sky, his body lying on the ground in a 'big' (Dai) shape.
He was abused by Yuuto again.
The Pillage that used to make opponents cry holding their heads was nothing in front of Yuuto.
"Yuuto, let's go back. There are so many mosquitoes here." Sora spoke quickly seeing them finish.
Yuuto looked at the time; it was about time. He said to Haizaki, "Let's play again later, Haizaki. I come here every day."
After speaking, he disappeared into the night with Sora.
"Lunatic."
Haizaki cursed again in his heart.
Extra practice after club activities end, extra practice again after returning home at night.
Haizaki has never seen such a lunatic.
Taking a deep breath, Haizaki got up, picked up the ball, and walked towards home.
...
On the other side.
After Yuuto showered and returned to his room, Satsuki's phone call came right on time.
"Hello hello, good evening Ah-Yu. Finished training? Taken a shower? Should be in bed by now, right?"
"Don't say such terrifying things so casually. People who don't know might think you are a peeping tom."
Yuuto is no longer surprised by Satsuki's intelligence gathering ability.
Basically.
As long as she wants to know, she can definitely investigate it clearly.
"Hehe, I'm just concerned about you." Satsuki scratched her head on the other end of the phone, then asked, "How is Haizaki? Did he cause you trouble?"
"Asking like this, you look even more like the mother of those guys from Teiko."
"I didn't want to either, who made everyone suddenly become like that."
Yuuto could imagine Satsuki's distressed pouting expression right now.
"Everything is fine, even better than I thought." Yuuto told her about meeting Haizaki at the court tonight.
Satsuki felt like she was listening to a fantasy story.
Haizaki practicing extra?
Are you sure he didn't go out at night to date girls?
Could it be that what's in the sky tonight isn't the moon but the sun?
Yuuto also felt it was magical, but this might be the effect produced by the Iron Heart talent.
Just like the others in the basketball club.
Before he needed to pressure them, now everyone is very self-conscious.
"Enthusiasm is praiseworthy, but there are limits to ability."
"That can't be helped. For most players, Haizaki-kun's ability is already a nightmare."
Satsuki knew it well.
Haizaki's ability gives him absolute suppression effects when facing players with a level lower than his own.
He can destroy the opponent's rhythm unconsciously, drastically reducing their combat power.
But if facing higher-level, or even same-level players.
His Pillage ability is hard to activate.
Yuuto has tested many times tonight.
Some normal shooting motions, even high-difficulty shots, layups, crossovers, etc., Haizaki can pillage.
But once Yuuto integrates movements into The Big Fundamental, Haizaki is at a loss.
Because Yuuto's personal style is too strong and has reached the extreme.
No matter how Haizaki pillages, in the end, it can only be the shape of Hayama Kotarō or Mibuchi Reo.
He might even be interfered with by Yuuto's style in turn.
"However, although there are limits to ability, his physical talent is also top-tier."
In short, his plasticity is very strong.
