Kuroko: I had already won the championship before the miracle happened.

"To be honest, I've always felt that the basketball club isn't the right place for you."

"..."

"Eh?"

Looking at Kuroko Tetsuya, whose pupils suddenly shrank, and who had obviously misunderstood something, Nagamura Hiroshi shook his head and said, "Don't be nervous. With your current special ability, it's more than enough to be promoted to the Second Army."

There was silence for a moment.

"You know, compared to other clubs in Teiko, the number of players in the Teiko basketball club is overwhelmingly larger."

"And there are only a handful of people who are truly qualified to participate in the competition, even if it's just to represent the three armed forces."

"so……"

"We will propose that the five people ranked at the bottom withdraw from the basketball team."

"And before that..."

"That's exactly where you are in the (cgba) ranking."

"Even though I know you've been working very hard and practicing at the gym every night, your ranking still dropped. Actually..."

"It would be fine if you didn't have your current abilities, but now that you do, I'm worried. Whether it's the more intense team competition or the more brutal training, if you continue to climb higher, you'll likely fall back down just as quickly."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"Kuroko-san."

Done.

It was beyond Nagamura Hiro's expectation.

At the critical juncture of being promoted to the Second Army, hearing such ruthless words coming out of his mouth, Kuroko Tetsuya in front of him actually breathed a sigh of relief.

even……

A smile appeared on the face that was always calm.

"coach……"

"Senior Shigure said..."

“‘Relentless running’ is also a talent.”

"Using this 'talent' that everyone is born with, I can catch up with them and defeat them. Although it will be a very difficult road..."

"But I will definitely do it."

This moment.

Kurokozhe couldn't help but think of Vice Captain Shigure who gave him great support and encouragement.

"Come on, Kuroko Tetsuya, I'll be waiting for you in the First Army. I hope that day won't make me wait too long."

Looking at the calm smile of Kuroko Tetsuya in front of him, there were turbulent waves in his eyes, emotions gradually rising, and his fists quietly clenched.

Nagamura Hiroshi was silent for a moment.

Because he sees clearly.

The light emitted by firm belief has been deeply engraved in Kuroko Tetsuya's heart, illuminating the road ahead in the darkness and clearly guiding him in the right direction.

"..."

No.

even.

It's not dark anymore...

Shi Yu Qiu Ren.

It’s really awesome.

"Kuroko Tetsuya..."

"I wish you success."

Kuroko Tetsuya looked at the coach firmly with his shining light blue eyes, and then nodded.

……

In his first year of junior high school, Kuroko Tetsuya joined the Teiko basketball club that he had always envisioned.

Several months passed, and in the hot summer that just ended, when Yu Diguang once again won the national championship, the three troops of the Yu basketball team were ignored.

Kuroko Tetsuya made great progress in basketball for the first time.

With Misdirection.

Successfully promoted to the Second Army.

With a pass...

Defeated the opponent and won the recognition of the three-service coaches.

His efforts paid off.

Although the process of hard work was painful, I thought of the encouragement from my predecessors, the promises made by my good friends, and the joy of gradually creating something from nothing.

effort……

It seems that no matter how many times I repeat it, I never get tired of it.

This also made Kuroko Tetsuya at this moment.

I can see my future more clearly than ever before.

Chapter 180: The Strongest! Shigure Akito! The First Under the King! Nijimura Shuzo! The Generation of Miracles!

"Kuroko Tetsuya..."

'I wish you success.'

Coach Nagamura Hiroshi's final words were few and far between, but for the first time, his voice, like a deep lake, quietly soaked into Kuroko Tetsuya's heart.

That was the first time the coach gave him affirmation.

Kuroko Tetsuya's heart was filled with joy, and he sincerely felt that what Senior Shigure had given him was the most precious treasure in the world that was irreplaceable, eternally shining, and everlasting.

Not 'misdire-ction'.

But...

The kind that no longer takes their "greatness" for granted, no longer easily gives up all competition just because they're "born this good"...

A determined heart.

What I want to become...

They are people who firmly believe that "my strength is more than just this" and who wholeheartedly follow the path they have chosen.

It was in this rare moment of excitement that Kuroko Tetsuya felt.

Suddenly, a large number of classmates gathered in front of the public display board in the classroom corridor not far away, and the sound of whispers could be heard.

The 'invisible man' Kuroko Tetsuya easily passed through the crowd.

then……

He saw the clippings from "Basketball Monthly" posted on the public display board.

That belongs to Teiko, the championship special.

in……

Each photo exquisitely depicts the sense of presence in the picture.

After winning the championship, first-year student Aomine Daiki excitedly threw the ball into the air and then jumped and danced on the court.

And why was the prefix "first grade" specifically added? Because the photos in the monthly magazine were highlighted in this way, and it wasn't just Qingfeng who was in the photo.

'Teiko's first year, the ace of miracles, Aomine Daiki.'

Scan another photo on the side.

on the screen.

Midorima held "Godzilla" in one hand and was seriously discussing something with senior Fukaya Reiji beside him. Not far away, Haizaki Shogo could be seen, secretly looking at them with curiosity.

"Teiko's first year, the miraculous three-point shooter, Midorima Shintaro."

"Teiko's second year, the number one under the hidden twins?"

"Fukaya Reiji!"

Kuroko Tetsuya, who had read this issue of the monthly magazine countless times, couldn't help but marvel when he saw the description of "the hidden number one under the Gemini" again.

But when he thought of Senior Fukaya's duel with Vice Captain Shigure, and his record of defeating the five generals 'Yaksha' head-on, his usually subtle aura suddenly transformed into a difficult-to-describe, low-key mysterious temperament.

Follow the display board and look down.

It was Murasakibara Atsushi who made many people laugh.

The tall Murasakibara, as usual in the photo, is holding snacks, standing with the almost equally tall Kurona Shinji, picking his ears while listening to his senior's speech.

but.

From the serious look in his eyes as he looked towards the audience stands, it could be seen that Murasakibara Atsushi might not be as calm as he appeared.

"Teiko's first year, a miraculous, exceptional center forward, Murasakibara Atsushi."

"Teiko's second-year, national-level center, Kurona Shinji."

Looking to the side, Haizaki Shogo, who had just appeared in Midorima's photo, appeared in a close-up in the photo with Akashi as the main subject.

"Teiko's first-year, the miracle first-year starting point guard, Akashi Seijuro."

"Teiko's first year, a miraculous all-around scorer, Haizaki Shogo."

in the photo.

Haizaki Shogo looked at Akashi with a strange look.

In Kuroko Tetsuya's impression, Haizaki had complained to him more than once, saying that he couldn't get along with serious guys like Akashi and Midorima.

but……

It doesn't look like that in the photo.

Haizaki looked down at Akashi, still saying something with a fierce expression, but Akashi didn't say anything, just responded with his signature humble smile.

then……

The very center of the display board.

It is also the heaviest.

The core of the display board is guarded by other cut photos, and even the perspectives of the players in the picture are strange, as if they are looking at that place.

"The strongest! Shigure Akito!"

"Your Majesty, number one! Nijimura Shuzo!"

Two figures, shrouded in pitch-black writing, stood in front of the spectator stands. They were No. 4 and No. 5. Only their backs could be seen, but from their waving arms as they headed towards the spectator stands, one could almost hear their cheers of victory.

Sight...

Passing through the backs of the two people...

Right in front of me, looking through the photo and directly at the students in front of the display board, is the banner that reads "Victory in All Battles" on the stands where the audience in the photo is cheering for Teiko!

Courage...

Those four words, through Shigure Akito and Nijimura Shuzo in the middle, complemented each other and were clearly conveyed to everyone's eyes and minds.

And engrave this picture deeply.

"Haha~"

"Ah, the Generation of Miracles~"

"That's a great name, don't you think? Sanada?"

Hear the sound.
