Juri Ueno from Kuroko's Basketball

Kuroko's Basketball: Ueno Juri (Author: Nao Nao the Great Demon King)

Summary:

He woke up to find himself inexplicably a middle school student in Japan. And tomorrow he has to play a match against Teiko Middle School? Ueno was completely bewildered. Teiko Middle School? Wasn't that the group with the cheat codes from the Generation of Miracles? How was he supposed to compete?...

Chapter 1 Traveling through time?

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings and the strong smell of alcohol in the air, Li Ye wondered if he was still half asleep.

Rubbing his aching head, Li Ye sat up in bed. Had he worked so hard last night that he passed out?

And then that kind person took you to the hospital?

After subconsciously looking around, Li Ye realized that he was actually in the infirmary.

It's not a hospital.

Because he saw a sign on one of the walls that read "Oki Middle School Infirmary".

Damu Middle School?

Does City A have this school?

Just as Li Ye was still confused, a hurried footstep suddenly came from outside the door, and then a young lady in a white coat walked towards Li Ye with concern.

"Ueno-kun, you're awake? Are you feeling any better?"

Looking at the young female medical worker in front of him, Li Ye subconsciously glanced around.

Ueno-san?

It seems like I'm the only one in the room! Could this Ueno-kun be talking about me?

Pointing to himself, Li Ye asked with some confusion, "Is Ueno-kun talking about me?"

The medical staff looked at Li Ye, who was full of doubts, and was slightly surprised. Could it be that the training had made him stupid?

He couldn't help but step forward and touch the other person's forehead with some concern, complaining, "I really don't understand why the new coach is training you guys so hard? Doesn't he know that Teiko Middle School has the Era of Miracles? We can't possibly beat them!"

"Look at him, he's fine, but he's made you all collapse from exhaustion."

As she spoke, the medical staff examined Li Ye again.

At this moment, Li Ye's eyes widened as he stared intently at the medical staff member who was still complaining.

The other person seemed to be speaking Japanese, and I think I even understood what they were saying?

Most importantly, it seems that I also know Japanese.

Teiko Middle School?

The Age of Miracles?

Isn't this Kuroko's Basketball World?

Li Ye looked at the medical staff member, gathered his thoughts, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then wanted to confirm: "Is the Teiko Middle School you're talking about the Teiko Middle School with the Era of Miracles?"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Ye received a light tap on the forehead from the medical staff. She said with some displeasure, "When asking a senior a question, you need to use honorifics, you know?"

"Yeah, you guys are playing against Teiko Middle School tomorrow. I really don't know if you're just unlucky. Alright, you should get some rest."

After saying that, he checked Li Ye's pupils again and found that there was nothing wrong, so he got up and left.

After rubbing the spot where he had been hit, Li Ye was now 100% certain.

I've traveled through time.

I've been transported to the world of Kuroko's Basketball.

That world where basketball players like to use superpowers at the drop of a hat.

And it seems I'll be playing against the team with the strongest high school team, the Generation of Miracles, tomorrow.

Isn't this a joke?

In the anime, the Generation of Miracles effortlessly achieved a three-peat in the high school championships.

I'm still in a middle school where I haven't even had a chance to show up yet; this is simply not on the same level.

Somewhat exhausted, Li Ye lay flat on the hospital bed. Just as he was about to recall the plot of Kuroko's Basketball, he suddenly felt a flood of unfamiliar yet familiar memories pop into his mind.

Juri Ueno, the name of this body.

A middle school student at Oki Middle School.

And he was also the captain of the basketball team at that middle school.

Whether it was good luck or bad luck, their coach was in the preliminary round draw two days ago.

One shot into the soul.

I was directly assigned to Teiko Middle School.

Logically, a national champion like Teiko High School should directly advance to the semi-finals, but because it is a high school, it has to start from the preliminary rounds.

Once you get into a university, you'll receive some special treatment.

When they learned that the first game was against Teiko Middle School, their enthusiasm immediately waned, and apart from the original owner of the body, all the other basketball team members gave up.

Some people even quit the team altogether.

It's not that they don't want to work hard, it's just that the gap in ability is too big.

Moreover, the Age of Miracles would humiliate their opponents every time they advanced to the later stages of the game.

This made them, who were just middle school students, completely unwilling to face that humiliation.

Rubbing her slightly swollen forehead, Ueno Juri felt like her head was about to explode.

Although the Age of Miracles at this time was not at its peak, it was definitely a period he did not want to encounter.

Because during the Age of Miracles, there was virtually no respect, except for the protagonist, Kuroko.

Most people just play basketball for fun.

In the last few minutes, he simply left, leaving his opponent humiliated.

"The Age of Miracles? It has geniuses that only appear once every ten years? And there are six of them."

Staring blankly at the ceiling, Ueno felt that he was destined to be brutally defeated by the main characters right from the start!

Why not just take a sick leave and stay in bed? There's no need for me to go looking for trouble with the main characters!

Although he also wanted to beat up Teiko Middle School and kick the Generation of Miracles.

But he doesn't have that ability!

Playing basketball with a bunch of overpowered main characters? Isn't that ridiculous? You're just asking for trouble.

...............

The next day.

A white bus slowly drove out of Damu Middle School.

Looking at the somber atmosphere of the team members on the bus, Coach Shangxin felt a mix of emotions: helplessness, self-blame, and a sense of inadequacy.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

The Age of Miracles.

The miraculous era that suffocated middle school students across the country—their strength is beyond doubt.

Sitting at the back of the bus, Ueno gazed quietly at the scenery outside the window, lost in thought.

In the end, he decided to compete.

Although he lost in the end, he wanted to see it.

Just how strong is the protagonist group that can dominate an era?

Although he had watched anime in his previous life, he also wanted to interact with real people.

While Ueno was still in a daze, one of his teammates gently tugged at his sleeve and asked with some concern, "Captain, are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Ueno turned to look at the team member, gently shook his head, and smiled, "Don't worry, everything is fine now."

Seeing that Ueno was alright, the team member breathed a sigh of relief. After all, their team's strongest player right now was their captain, Ueno Riki.

He then lowered his head and said in a low voice, with some complicated feelings, "If I were the captain, I wouldn't have come. Playing against them is really..."

He then fell silent.

Ueno was unsure how to comfort the other party.

to be frank.

It's absolutely tragic to be born in the same era as the Generation of Miracles, because everyone will only remember them. No matter how hard you try, you'll ultimately just be a stumbling block for the Generation of Miracles.

But at the same time, it was also a stroke of luck.

because.

You have witnessed an era of miracles.
