"Then best two out of three, I can't play with you forever, what do you think?"
After speaking, Ryu stood at the three-point line and turned to look at Haizaki Shogo.
Haizaki Shogo clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and stared intently at Ryu with eyes full of anger.
Ryu ignored his gaze.
"Since you're not saying anything, I'll take that as a yes."
Haizaki Shogo glared at Ryu, his voice extremely low.
"You bastard."
'Damn it, how is this guy so strong? Why is this happening?'
Haizaki Shogo screamed internally.
Off the court.
Everyone who witnessed this scene shook their heads.
"He's no match at all!"
"He's completely getting thrashed."
"Who told him to be so arrogant and provoke Ryu? He got what he deserved."
Aomine Daiki, seeing this, immediately lost interest in Haizaki Shogo.
At first, he had a little anticipation, wanting to play a match against Haizaki Shogo.
But seeing that Ryu hadn't even used his true strength to suppress Haizaki Shogo, he immediately lost interest.
"That's how it ends, isn't it!"
Midorima Shintaro said.
Murasakibara Atsushi turned his attention away from the court and waved to everyone.
"I'm going to get some snacks."
Thump... thump... thump...
On the court.
Ryu dribbled the basketball, looking at Haizaki Shogo in front of him.
"The 'little brothers' you mentioned earlier must be those five arrogant guys!"
Haizaki Shogo didn't speak; his entire focus was now on defending against Ryu's offense.
"It's true, I really dislike people like you, but since you were brought here by Nijimura-senpai, I'll give him face. But that doesn't give you the right to provoke me."
As he finished speaking, wisps of red flame began to surround Ryu.
A powerful, ferocious aura emanated through the air.
Haizaki Shogo's pupils contracted; he felt as if he had plunged into icy river water, his hair standing on end, a layer of cold sweat soaking his back.
Ryu, like a silver lightning bolt, appeared beneath the basket in the blink of an eye.
All that remained before Haizaki Shogo's eyes was a fading afterimage.
Haizaki Shogo suddenly heard the sound of a basketball hitting the backboard behind him.
Although the sound was soft, it clearly reached his ears.
He forced himself to stop trembling, his eyes wide, and turned around in disbelief.
Then he saw a scene he would never forget.
Ryu no longer held the basketball.
When he looked up, he was horrified to see the basketball rolling off the edge of the backboard.
The basketball finally landed in the center of the backboard.
Swish…
The basketball landed precisely in the hoop.
3-0.
'Damn it, how could this happen? It shouldn't be like this! Why is he so strong?'
Haizaki Shogo felt like a clown, putting on a ridiculous show in front of everyone.
He was filled with shame and indignation.
At this moment, he didn't want to stay here and embarrass himself for even a second longer.
Ryu ignored Haizaki Shogo and turned to walk to the sidelines.
He looked at Nijimura Shuzo and said…
"Nijimura-senpai, we've finished the competition."
Nijimura Shuzo nodded helplessly.
"Thanks for your hard work."
He paused, then added.
"You're really ruthless."
"Huh?" Ryu chuckled upon hearing this.
"Who told him to be so arrogant? I think Nijimura-senpai just wanted him to tone it down!"
Nijimura Shuzo didn't refute, tacitly agreeing.
Aomine Daiki walked over at this moment, putting his arm around Ryu's neck and laughing.
"Well done, Ryu."
"It's alright! If it were you, I'd probably get the same result."
Hearing Ryu's words, Aomine Daiki pursed his lips and said.
"Let's forget it. I've lost interest in him."
Saying this, he looked intently at Ryu.
"Ryu…"
Ryu immediately interrupted him.
"If you're looking for a duel, then forget it."
Aomine Daiki persisted, relentlessly pestering Ryu.
"Oh dear, why are you like this! Just once!"
No matter what Aomine Daiki said, Ryu simply shook his head in refusal.
Finally, having no other choice,
Aomine Daiki could only return to his training, a look of utter disappointment on his face.
