Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 40 Intelligence Gathering (I)

"?.? Kaneki, what did you say?" Aomine Daiki, who was eating in the cafeteria, spat out a mouthful of food, "You and Momoi are dating?"

"You're so disgusting, Qingzi." With rice grains on his head, Murasakibara Atsushi shook his head. For the first time, he lost his appetite when looking at the food in front of him.

"Aomine, you are so rude." Midorima Shintaro shook his head helplessly, "It turns out that I still can't get along with you."

"Really, you're so long-winded." Aomine Daiki rolled his eyes at Midorima Shintaro and continued to look at Kaneki Ken and Momoi Satsuki who were sitting together, "No, buddy... you really were trying to scam me, right?"

"..." Kaneki Kenichi slapped his forehead and said helplessly, "I really don't have that. Forget it, just pretend I never said it. Let's eat. You can take a leave with me in the afternoon to watch the training of Shibuya No. 1 Middle School."

"Training?" Aomine Daiki pouted and said, "What's so interesting about training? Playing games is interesting. Besides, it's hard for me to ask for leave, so I won't go."

"So, you've been playing basketball without using your brain all your life." Kaneki Ken said, "Forget it if you don't want to go. Momoi and I will go together."

"Teacher allows you to take leave so easily? What about your courses then?" Murasakibara Atsushi asked curiously.

"I'm sorry, Momoi and I both got straight A's on our exams." Kaneki Ken said slowly and calmly.

"Damn it! Why can't I ask for leave?" Aomine Daiki was gritting his teeth in anger.

"It's really hard for you, Aomine. You obviously work hard in class every day, but your grades are almost the same as those who skip classes. What's the point of asking for leave? The teacher is unhappy just seeing you, so how can he approve your leave?" Midorima Shintaro added expressionlessly.

"Damn it, is it really that great to have good grades?" Aomine Daiki howled like a loser.

"I'm sorry, it's really a big deal to have good grades." Kaneki Ken said proudly.

"Hmph!" Qingfeng Daihui angrily took the plate to the table next to him and started eating alone with a depressed look on his face.

"I'm done eating, everyone, enjoy your meal." Kaneki Ken simply cleaned up the tableware in front of him, stood up and left.

"Wait for me, Ken." Seeing this, Momoi Satsuki quickly cleaned up the table and followed Kaneki Ken.

"You noble man, die!" Seeing the two walking away hand in hand, everyone present cursed in unison for the first time - except Aomine Daiki.

"Hey, Qingzi, your childhood sweetheart is dating Yanzi, don't you mind at all?" Murasakibara Atsushi asked curiously.

"Haha...hahahaha!" Aomine Daiki lowered his head and laughed like a villain in a movie. "Five years, five years. Do you know how I have been living these five years? Do you know how much shit I had to eat in these five years, risking my life?"

"Ah?" Murasakibara Atsushi looked at the crazy Aomine Daiki and said I don't understand, but I was greatly shocked.

"Finally, we have gotten rid of Taozi, the nagging old woman who likes to cook dark dishes." Aomine Daiki continued to talk about his past tragic experiences with a smile in his tears, and a holy light was almost emitting from his face - that was the joy of escaping death.

……

"Hey, Ken-kun, wait for me at the school gate. I'll go ask the teacher for leave." Taoi Satsuki let go of Kaneki Ken's big hand and turned to run towards the teaching building, "You have to wait for me."

"Don't worry, just run slowly." Kaneki Ken smiled and looked at Momoi Satsuki's back and said with concern. Not long after, Momoi Satsuki came to the school gate panting, looked at Kaneki Ken expectantly and asked: "Kaneki-kun, where are we going this afternoon?"

"? Didn't I tell you? Go to Shibuya First Junior High School to observe their training." Kaneki Ken said as a matter of course.

"Ah? Are you really going to watch the training?" Momoi Satsuki looked at Kaneki Ken with a look of disappointment.

"May, don't you want to go?" Kaneki Ken touched Taojing May's little head with understanding, "It's okay, don't force yourself, I can go alone."

"Ah, no, no, I want to go. I love watching basketball the most." Taoi Satsuki quickly denied.

……

"Well, although it's an old school, it's unexpectedly warm." Momoi Satsuki and Kaneki Ken said with some surprise as they strolled in Shibuya First Junior High School.

"Oh, yes." Kaneki Ken took out a notebook and pen from his pocket and said, "I heard that Keisuke Kobayashi and Kotaro Hayama came to this school because it has a long history and is close to home."

"Hey? You know all this? You're amazing, Ken-kun!" Momoi Satsuki looked at Kaneki Ken with admiration, "Ken-kun seems to be about the same age as us, but I always feel like he knows everything."

"Haha, it's not that great, May." Kaneki Ken felt a little uncomfortable under the burning gaze of Momoi May, "Actually, I just developed the habit of collecting information about my opponent before the game."

"Intelligence?" Tao Jing Satsuki's eyes were full of curiosity. "Although I don't quite understand, I always feel that it seems very powerful... Is it difficult to collect intelligence? Can I help Yanjun?"

"Huh? It seems like there is a way!" Kaneki Ken was suddenly inspired when he heard what Momoi Satsuki said. You know, although Momoi Satsuki was only the team manager later, under the influence of the Miracle Generation, his predictions on the players' on-court habits, strengths and weaknesses, development directions, etc. all reached an astonishing level. It can be said that except for miracle-level players, no one can escape Momoi Satsuki's intelligence collection and development predictions.

If Kaneki Ken chose to do the intelligence gathering mainly because of his divine vision and Shura domain, then Momoi Satsuki's abnormally accurate female intuition was her important weapon in intelligence gathering and player prediction.

"Hahaha, May, you're really amazing!" Kaneki Ken laughed and picked up Momoi May and spun her around several times, "If you really want to, then you've helped me a lot."

"Well, I'm glad I can help Yan-kun..." Taoi Satsuki said with a blushing face.

But before he could finish his words, Kaneki Ken took Momoi Satsuki's hand and headed straight for the basketball hall of Shibuya First Junior High School, saying as he walked, "Come on, come on, without further ado, I'll teach you how to collect intelligence."

Soon, several people arrived at the basketball hall of Shibuya First Junior High School. Coincidentally, Shibuya First Junior High School was conducting team training at that time.

"Hey, Ken-kun, look, that guy has yellow hair like you. Is that the ace of Shibuya No. 1 Junior High School that Captain Nijimura and Coach Shirogane mentioned, Kotaro Hayama?" Momoi Satsuki asked curiously, pointing at an active figure on the field.

"Well, it's him. How did you know?" Kaneki Ken asked curiously.

"Because you and Ken-kun and Kozuki have colored hair, so I feel that the guy with colored hair must be the ace of Shibuya First Junior High School!" Momoi Satsuki responded as if it was a matter of course.

"Ah? Is that so... There is some truth to what you said..." Kaneki Ken smiled bitterly and took out a video recorder from the backpack behind him. He was ready to give Coach Platinum a little basketball data shock.

Hey, did you think there would be only two updates today? Actually, there will be three.
