Akashi thought this was Yuuto's provocation.
He thought too much.
Yuuto just wants to win, no other thoughts.
Even if there were, he couldn't extravagantly think about how to realize them.
Yuuto simply had no better way. He had already found the best players he could find, bent on winning.
Akashi, born in "Rome."
He cannot understand.
Things that are within reach for him are lifelong pursuits in the eyes of most people.
"Ball in!"
"Yuuto!"
"Passed 3 people in a row and passed to the open Sakurai Ryō at the three-point line!"
"A successful tactic; Yuuto attracted a lot of defense with his individual ability!"
"..."
The commentator on TV was passionate.
Some say he plays like Lebron James.
Yuuto didn't think this was a derogatory term, because Lebron hasn't made "The Decision" yet.
He is still spending his seven-year itch in Cleveland.
Halftime ended.
Homi Academy walked into the tunnel leading the opponent by 54 points.
This is the National Tournament.
The strength of participating teams is uneven.
In Slam Dunk, Shoyo claiming to win against opponents by 100 points wasn't a joke.
Meeting some weak underdogs, they can handle them however they want.
Locker room.
Sora took out a bento box again.
Everyone retreated three feet upon seeing this.
However.
When Sora opened the bento box, inside were crystal clear lemon slices cut one by one.
"Wow!"
The team members stretched their necks, lamenting Sora's culinary skills progressing by leaps and bounds.
But Yuuto can guarantee.
This is definitely not made by Sora personally.
A hell demon who couldn't even distinguish salt and sugar a few days ago, how could she suddenly make such exquisite food?
"Did Haruka make it?"
Yuuto asked her in a low voice, to save the girl from losing face too much.
Sora bit the bullet and said, "I made it... I watched him make it!"
You little thing really never disappoint me.
Seeing him not eating, Sora couldn't help asking, "Isn't Yuuto eating?"
"Actually, I don't like eating lemons." Yuuto put on his jacket to keep warm. "But since you made it, I'll eat."
"But you clearly ate what Ryō-classmate made before."
"Just wanted to stimulate you simply; don't always be so lazy."
Sora stopped talking upon hearing this, feeling warm in her heart.
Yuuto is doing it for my own good...
"Then what does Yuuto like to eat? I'll learn another day."
No need!!!
...
Second half began.
Yuuto, Haizaki, and Kuroko, the Big Three, all sat on the bench.
When not simulating, Yuuto is happy to rest more.
Basketball is a dangerous sport; injuries can happen at any time.
Even landing after a jump can cause permanent damage.
Whether Kuroko's Basketball or Slam Dunk, there have been similar descriptions and injury problems.
No need to waste time on a game where the winner is already decided.
Tokyo's Akashi.
Seeing Yuuto leave the court, he didn't stay in the multimedia room either.
"I'm going back first. Enjoyed playing chess with you, Shintarō."
"Mhm."
Midorima Shintarō nodded simply.
After that incident last year, Akashi underwent earth-shaking changes.
The person is still that person, but what kind of soul is hidden inside, Midorima doesn't know.
In the island nation.
People generally address those with close relationships by their given names.
Like Sora always calls him "Yuu" and doesn't allow other women to call him that.
But Akashi.
Before, he didn't address them like this; he wouldn't deliberately call teammates by their given names.
Now he always calls them by their given names.
"Forget it, what can change by thinking so much?"
Midorima put away the chessboard and walked out of the multimedia room too.
...
Three quarters finished.
Homi Academy still maintained a lead of more than 50 points.
A huge enough lead made the members braver to try, shooting more confidently and calmly.
To put it bluntly, anyone can play a tailwind game.
The coach also plans to start letting the young players in the team start from the next game to temper them.
After all.
After this year's National Tournament, Yuuto and the others will leave Homi Academy.
They need to consider next year.
He discussed this matter with Yuuto, and Yuuto agreed.
He doesn't mind letting young juniors feel the atmosphere of the National Tournament in some games.
Homi Academy maintained the lead until the end.
50 points was like a hurdle, insurmountable.
"Thank you for the advice!"
"Thank you for the advice!"
Both sides paid respects after the game.
Yuuto touched the opponent's hand and pulled away immediately.
He is slowly getting used to it; winning games brings no joy.
On the way back.
Yuuto started the simulation again.
He hopes to find a talent that can break the Emperor Eye's prediction.
Even if he can't find it.
He also wants to push Teiko tighter, forcing out more of their trump cards.
[Simulation Starting.]
[Random Talent Draw]
[Drawing Talent: Red Eye Mode]
[Congratulations on obtaining Purple Talent: Red Eye Mode]
[Red Eye Mode: Kirihara Akaya's unique talent. When a strong desire to win occupies the brain, this talent can be activated. In this state, the player's speed, strength, and concentration are greatly improved, attack power goes up a level. PS: Prone to becoming violent.]
"Shipped again."
Yuuto's eyes lit up.
This is a state-type talent of the same type as Wildness.
Yuuto has had the system for a year.
He knows talents are also divided into several categories.
The most common are physical talents, such as Rapid Fire Jump Shot, Iron Heart, including Bronze Skin Iron Bones which is also a physical talent.
Next are vision-type talents, such as Eagle Eye, Emperor Eye, Demon Eye, and Kuroko's Quasi-Emperor Eye.
This type of talent improves players more than physical talents, but it is not the rarest.
The rarest talents are state-type.
This kind of talent is the rarest, but the improvement is also the most intuitive.
Like his Tyrannosaurus Wildness, which can intuitively increase his attack power by 50%.
And Red Eye Mode.
Kirihara Akaya's innate talent; the improvement it can bring to players is athletic ability even more intuitive than Wildness.
And.
After Red Eye Mode, there are Devil Mode and Angel Mode.
Especially the last one.
Kirihara Akaya in Angel Mode once suppressed Elma Siegfried who opened the Pinnacle of Perfection (Self-Actualization/Muga no Kyōchi variants).
"Did I hit the jackpot this time?"
Yuuto's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little.
As for the side effects of Red Eye Mode.
His Tyrannosaurus Wildness is already violent; so what if he gets a bit more irritable?
[You couldn't wait to simulate after winning the game.]
[You surprisingly drew Kirihara Akaya's Red Eye Mode.]
[This rare talent makes you more confident.]
[That night.]
[You activated this talent for the first time in the duel with Haizaki.]
[On the surface, Haizaki couldn't see any changes in you, only feeling that the red in your eyes seemed more vigorous.]
[You activated Tyrannosaurus Wildness and Red Eye Mode simultaneously. You became unprecedentedly irritable.]
[You beat Haizaki down.]
[After the one-on-one with you, Haizaki felt pain all over his body.]
