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

"Military regulations: the last person in line will receive additional training~"

huh~

Shigure Akito finished speaking.

Just get ahead!

Everyone: “?!”

However, what Shigure didn't expect was that Nijimura Shuzo, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually did it!

And he definitely saw...

This guy clearly couldn't hold back when he said 'idiot'!

The character is broken!

asshole!

Chapter 028: It means that everyone thinks I’m stronger than Nijimura, right?

When Shigure and others started their last training of the day, the first team coach Naoto Sanada appeared on the second-floor stands of the Third Army Gymnasium at some point.

His eyes were always fixed on Shi Yu Qiu Ren, and he was completely lost in thought.

Now that it's confirmed...

Then everything that follows will have to be re-planned.

perhaps……

Maybe we can regain the championship after two years this year.

……

One of the courts at the Tri-Service Stadium.

During the physical training, Kuroname Shinji, who had been preoccupied, probably figured something out and suddenly chased after Shigure enthusiastically, insisting on fighting him.

The results speak for themselves.

It was a simple 11-point duel, and Shinji Kuroname was dunked. At the end of the game, the sound of the slam dunk seemed to still echo in my ears!

And Shigure Akito was getting more motivated to fight.

Although it was recently confirmed that there would be no mission reward for playing 1v1 with Nijimura again, Shigure Akito still turned to look at Nijimura and raised an eyebrow at him.

Nijimura Shuzo inexplicably understood what he meant.

Ok……

Turned around and ignored him.

Shigure Akito: "..."

the other side.

Among the three armies, the first-year students who were in the same class as Shigure, Nijimura, and the others would look over there from time to time.

They watched...

Shigure Akito's monstrous physical talent allowed him to train with a smile on his face while terrifyingly teasing 'Nijimura Shuzo'.

Kuroname Shinji of the Second Army, after challenging Shigure Akito of the First Army, became dazed and silent again.

Rare.

He has an impetuous personality.

Together with Reiji Fukaya next to him, they formed a gloomy team.

However, the gloom did not last long. Fukaya Reiji suddenly abandoned him and came to Nijimura Shuzo's side, saying something unknown.

Nijimura Shuzo, who is usually cold, actually responded to Fukaya Reiji patiently.

After a while.

The harmonious atmosphere of communication over there was broken again by Shi Yu.

Not knowing what Shigure Akito did, Nijimura Shuzo threw the ball over with a fierce look on his face. He looked quite irritable and angry, as if the ball would be burned to ashes in the next second.

however……

Shi Yu Qiuren slapped the ball away, rejected the opponent's request for a one-on-one challenge, and continued to do the next physical training.

Nijimura Shuzo was left alone, looking obviously stunned.

And outside of a few people.

The other first and second year soldiers were all clearly undergoing the same training, but it felt like their style was out of tune with those four.

In terms of atmosphere.

It feels like being completely isolated and having difficulty fitting in.

Including at this moment, the first-year students in the military who were looking over there from time to time with envy on their faces were the same. Everyone clearly felt that sense of distance.

……

Training is over.

Shigure Akito returned to the First Army Arena.

He was still inexperienced. When he went to the Tri-Service Arena, he didn't bring all his equipment with him.

At this time, in the First Army Stadium, most people had left except for a few First Army members who were responsible for finishing the game.

The sun sets and the sky becomes dark.

After packing up the equipment and leaving the Yijun Gymnasium.

When passing the Second Army.

Shigure Akito suddenly saw Fukaya Reiji. He still remembered that at the end of the training, the opponent's legs had become obviously heavy after the day's torture.

But at this time, the other party was still holding a mop and other cleaning supplies.

Apparently...

The one in charge of finishing the work at the Second Army Stadium today is Reiji Fukaya.

Unlucky kid.

After seeing Shigure, Fukaya Reiji was stunned for a moment, but soon he took the initiative to greet him and said, "Shigure-kun, haven't you gone home yet?"

"I saw Nijimura-san leave early earlier."

When Shi Yu Qiuren heard this, his face darkened.

"On his old bicycle, huh?"

Tsk~!

I mentioned the motorcycle to him before, and this guy came riding a broken bicycle the next day.

You've turned over a new leaf, right?

That’s really fast!

However, the change in Shigure Akito's expression at this moment, in addition to complaining about Nijimura, was more because of Fukaya Reiji's address. He shook his head and said helplessly: "Reiji, you call Nijimura 'Nijimura-san', and call me 'Shigure-kun'..."

"Why are you so unfamiliar?"

When Shigure Akito thought about the physical training, the other party took the initiative to find Nijimura to communicate something, and he suddenly felt a little bit like he had lost to Nijimura.

Ok……

That’s why I only look for him and not myself!

Am I weaker than him?!

Then, Shigure said half-jokingly: "Tell me! What benefits did that Nijimura guy give you?!"

Fukaya Reiji wasn't used to this kind of conversation, but he also laughed. "To be honest, Shigure-san's performance on the court today could easily... cause everyone in the same class to feel distant..."

"Although there aren't many opportunities for communication, I know that among the first-years, everyone will definitely respect Shigure-san more than Nijimura-san..."

"That's how everyone calls me in private, and I'm used to it."

Shigure Akito was silent for a moment after hearing this.

That's it...

"so……"

"It means that everyone thinks I'm stronger than Nijimura..."

"Right?"

Fukaya Reiji: “…”

perhaps……

right.

Chapter 029: You are truly fair and just! Fukaya-san!

After listening to Fukaya Reiji's explanation, Shigure Akito couldn't help but smile, and then asked further: "What do you think?"

"Compared to me and Nijimura?"

Fukaya Reiji pondered for a moment and said hesitantly:

"Shigure-san is very talented, and it's not just his physical ability. He's also very talented in three-pointers, driving, steals, blocks... In terms of the skills that need to be honed, he's on another level among our peers."

"And Nijimura-san's words..."

"What is certain is that as a player, in terms of physical talent, his current abilities are not as good as Shigure-san's."

"But technically, Nijimura-san is still the better one. And when he's on the court, Shigure-san should feel it the most. Whether it's attacking or defending, everything becomes easier..."

"Nijimura-san is truly amazing. His style is completely different from his usual style, that style of passionately pursuing victory on the court..."

"Once he's determined a more effective path to victory, he'll even do what he did today. When chasing points, even though he could have attacked like you guys did later when you were sprinting, he'll use himself as bait, creating offensive opportunities for Shigure-san, who he believes has a higher chance of success."

Shigure Akito: "..."

ha?

Using yourself as bait?!

Are you kidding...

"I was completely deceived, you..."

Upon hearing this, Fukaya Reiji was slightly stunned, not understanding the meaning of Shigure Akito's words at all. "Shigure-san, are you referring to...?"

"Ha~"

Shigure Akito couldn't help but laugh.

"So high and mighty, like sitting on a high pedestal, dictating everyone else's passes. How can it be like being used as bait?"

"That bastard..."

"He's drawing his bow and using me as the arrow!"

At first, he had tried using Shinji, but he had no patience at all. After just one mistake, he completely abandoned him...

even……

After wasting the assist by passing the ball to Shinji due to Shinji's mistake, he not only abandoned Shinji, but also directly and domineeringly threw all the other members of the second army into the sewer.

of course.

Shigure Akito didn't say the rest of the story.

After all, if you say it out loud, you might be accused of gossiping behind someone's back.

however……

Shi Yu Qiu Ren didn't finish speaking.

However, Fukaya Reiji could see what Shigure Akito wanted to say from his indignation for Kuromana Shinji, but he just smiled without taking it too seriously, "I understand what Shigure-san meant, and Kuromana too."
