Kuroko's Basketball template: the king of slacking off, Shohoku's strongest sixth man.

The black card spun around on my fingertip.

The movements were fluid and graceful, exuding a "damnly fragrant scent of money":

"I also booked a top-notch hot spring hotel in Shizuoka."

"It's not far from Changcheng High School."

"I've heard that the hot springs there are incredibly beneficial for the elderly, and... their cuisine is Michelin-starred."

As Lin Bei spoke, he observed Coach Anzai's expression.

Sure enough, I heard the keywords "hot spring" and "Michelin".

Coach west's previously unwavering expression showed a suspicious shift.

"and……"

Lin Bei leaned closer to Coach Anzai, lowered his voice, and gently coaxed him in a volume only the two of them could hear:

"Sakuragi is the type who grows faster the more he's stimulated; he's like a spring."

"It would be safer to keep him in school to practice shooting."

"But what if he were to face a top-tier national team and get thoroughly thrashed..."

"There might be an unexpected chemical reaction."

"In addition, I also want to give him some special treatment over there."

After Lin Bei finished speaking, he took a step back and smiled like a little fox:

"Of course, if you really don't want to go to the hot springs and just want to eat lunch at school, then we won't force you."

Coach Anzai remained silent.

Even through his sunglasses, everyone could almost see the intense internal struggle in his eyes:

20,000-ball tedious training VS top-notch hot spring cuisine + real-world stimulation therapy.

Three seconds later.

Coach Anzai adjusted his glasses, a kind and pleased smile curving his lips:

"Hehehe..."

"Since Lin Bei is so thoughtful..."

"For everyone's health, going to a hot spring is a necessary tactical arrangement."

"Sakuragi-kun."

Sakuragi suddenly looked up, snot bubbles still hanging on his face, looking completely bewildered.

"You should come too. We'll change the location for the special training."

"Really?!"

Overjoyed, Sakuragi hugged Lin Bei tightly, so excited he was incoherent:

"Hahaha! Master is truly loyal!"

"So you wanted to take me to a hot spring! That's so kind of you! I love you!"

Lin Bei shoved Sakuragi's big face away in disgust: "Get away from me! You got your snot on my Armani! You're going to have to pay for it!"

Rukawa Kaede added coldly from the side, "You big idiot."

"What did you say?! You damn fox! Want to fight?!"

"alright!"

Akagi waved his hand, dominating the entire scene: "Since it's decided, let's set off!"

"Target—Shizuoka!"

……

Shinkansen platform.

The Shohoku players were dressed in neat uniforms and carrying huge sports bags.

This group of burly men, averaging over 1.8 meters tall, would turn heads wherever they stood.

"Is this the Shohoku team that defeated Hainan?"

"It looks so tall...it's so intimidating."

"Who's that red-haired guy? He looks fierce, is he a gangster?"

Hearing the comments from passersby, Sakuragi immediately puffed out his chest, striking a pose as if he were a "superstar," and even took out a pen to sign autographs for the elementary school students passing by.

"Don't embarrass yourself!"

Akagi slapped him on the back of the head and stuffed him into the carriage like luggage.

The train slowly started moving, and the scenery outside the window began to rush past.

Inside the train carriage, seat allocation became a major problem.

Akagi and Kogure sat together, studying information about Tosei High School. The atmosphere was as serious as if they were holding a strategic meeting.

Mitsui and Miyagi sat together.

The two were discussing a swimsuit photobook, occasionally letting out lewd "hehehe" laughs, revealing their true straight male nature.

And Lin Bei...

I was extremely unlucky and drew a "death ticket".

He was caught between Rukawa Kaede and Sakuragi Hanamichi.

This is a seat that's practically a battleground.

On the left is a moving iceberg emitting low-pressure air.

Rukawa Kaede was wearing headphones and had his eyes closed, seemingly catching up on sleep.

But the aura emanating from him that seemed to say "Keep away, strangers" made the surrounding air feel several degrees colder.

To the right is an active volcano that could erupt at any moment.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was as excited as an elementary school student on his first school field trip.

His entire face was pressed against the glass, his features were distorted, and he was shouting at every tree and every telephone pole outside.

"Wow! Is that Mount Fuji?!"

"Idiot, that's a chimney," Lin Bei bluntly exposed.

"Master! Look, there are cows over there!"

"That's GG brand, and that's a cow."

"Master! I want a bento box!"

"I want to eat the most expensive one! I'm going to eat you out of house and home, hahaha!"

Lin Bei sighed, feeling a throbbing headache; this was practically like teaching a kindergarten class.

He turned to look out the window.

As the train accelerated, the hustle and bustle of the city was left behind.

Instead, there are rolling green hills and vast fields.

Shizuoka, Chosei High School.

If I remember correctly, that Mikoshiba was a rather arrogant guy, known as the "Star of Shizuoka".

Moreover, this training camp is not just about playing matches.

The system interface flickered slightly on the retina and emitted a crisp notification sound.

[Ding! Side quest triggered: Chang Cheng's Provocation]

[Mission Description: In the practice match, completely crush Changcheng High School, make their ace player Mikoshiba question his life, and reshape his view of basketball]

[Mission Rewards: Skill Draw Card x1, Free Attribute Points +5]

Lin Bei's lips curled up slightly.

Are you questioning the meaning of life?

I'm an expert at this; I love seeing the expressions on the faces of geniuses who fall from grace.

"Hey, Rukawa."

Lin Bei suddenly spoke, nudging the iceberg next to him with his elbow.

Rukawa Kaede opened one eye, his gaze glazed, and he asked in a grumpy tone, "What?"

"That Mikoshiba, I heard he's even more powerful than Sendoh."

Lin Bei casually dropped a bombshell.

Rukawa Kaede's previously dazed gaze instantly focused.

The sharp light that burst forth in that instant was enough to pierce through the front seats.

"Even more powerful than the Immortal Path?"

Rukawa Kaede took off his headphones and coldly uttered two words, exuding murderous intent: "Kill him."

On the other side, Sakuragi, upon hearing this, also leaned his large head closer, his ears perked up like antennas:

"What? Who's more powerful than Sendoh?"

"What's so great about that spiky-haired guy!"

"This genius will beat them all to a pulp! They'll know why flowers are so red!"

"Whether it's Chosei or some other Mikoshiba, they'll all tremble under the iron buttocks of this genius!"

"Tremble, mortals!"

Seeing the "left and right protectors" on both sides instantly igniting a fierce fighting spirit, Lin Bei nodded in satisfaction.

Great, the hatred level is maxed out.

This is what Shohoku should be like: madness is the essence of life.

This trip to Shizuoka looks like it won't be boring.

"Attention passengers, we are approaching Shizuoka..."

The broadcast started.

Lin Bei stretched and looked out the window at the gradually clearing platform, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Let's start the preliminary battles for the national competition here.

Lin Bei stood up, picked up his backpack, and walked towards the car door first, his back view exuding an air of domineering confidence.

"Let's go, problem children."

"Go teach them how to be human."
