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

And Kotaro Hayama felt even more deeply about this.

because……

That breath...

He is exactly the same as Captain Ogioka who has always led them to victory!

"Hey hey hey~"

"How scary, Captain Akashi~"

"You're not going to let that guy out, are you~?"

As Kotaro Hayama spoke, the miracles all turned their heads and immediately locked onto that rosy red!

First of all.

As expected of Akashi.

With three of the five players without a championship in the team, it was obvious that he conquered them all as soon as he entered the team and won the captaincy.

Secondly...

This guy, Kotaro Hayama, actually knew about Akashi's dual personality. You know, it took them a long time to confirm this when they were in Teiko.

But soon...

They realized that it was not that Kotaro Hayama was more perceptive than them, but that Akashi, after entering high school, had undergone some changes that were more easily exposed.

Step~!

Step~!

Koganei and Kagami's thoughts came to an abrupt halt as Akashi approached, and from Koganei's point of view, the opponent's target was obviously Kagami.

but……

Koganei Shinji: "...!"

Akashi...what's with that expression?

And the one I met during the training camp...

totally different!

What a scary expression!

"Long time no see, Koganei-san, wait a minute..."

"That's a little rude."

As soon as Akashi opened his mouth, Koganei was still a little surprised. She was surprised at the 173-centimeter-tall Akashi in front of her, and his gentle tone, which was completely different from his previous boldness.

The Fire God, who was standing by, had just been forced to turn his gaze away due to the pressure of the attack from a distance, but now his gaze returned to Akashi.

"..."

The tone was gentle.

I no longer feel the pressure and momentum from before.

but……

There is also a faint unusual aura.

Is it because of being the captain of the first grade?

It doesn't feel right either.

Kagami stared at Akashi Seijuro, observing the captain of the Generation of Miracles very carefully. At the same time, Akashi greeted Koganei and turned to look at Kagami.

suddenly.

An indifferent, arrogant look fell into the eyes of the God of Fire.

and……

Kagami clearly saw that the color of the other person's pupils changed.

From bright red to orange!

Inexplicable.

The God of Fire was looking down at Akashi from a close distance, and was angered by Akashi's expression, and the clear sense of superiority in it!

However, due to the second personality's recent complete control over new abilities and the expansion of its strength, he has been escaping for short periods of time.

Just like now...

Perhaps it was because of the Kagami's condescending gaze, or perhaps it was because Akashi felt that the other party was peeping at him without any respect, but in any case, there was a sudden coldness in Akashi's orange eyes.

"Vulcan..."

"Your strength is indeed worthy of praise, but..."

"Let me give you some advice."

Boom~!

Surrounding Akashi's lean body, black air gradually swirled around him. The thick black color, like ink, floated out and spread forward, gathering the God of Fire in it!

Danger!

The momentum is alluring!

It’s so strong that it makes you feel short of breath!

Under the astonished gazes of the Miracles, the God of Fire took a step back, instantly stirring up the surrounding black mist. Wherever he touched, the inky blackness drifted...

Simultaneously.

Akashi, like the Dark Lord, stood there and only took a step forward.

Available in the next second.

“The only ones who can speak to me without lowering their eyes are those who obey me.”

As Akashi spoke, in the whistling of the fog, the center of gravity of the God of Fire was suddenly destroyed, and his body suddenly fell uncontrollably. With a confused look on his face, his vision was getting lower and lower!

finally……

There was a bang.

The God of Fire sat on the ground at a loss, his vision dropped to the bottom!

Akashi, on the other hand, looked down at Kagami with an expressionless face:

"You're too arrogant."

Fire God Daigo: "..."

This guy!

Didn't touch me at all...

He just took a step forward, what on earth did he do!?

"Vulcan!"

"Akagi, what are you doing!?"

Koganei stood in front of Akashi with a nervous look on his face. The sudden change in the other party made Koganei realize that the person in front of him was completely different from the Akashi with a super good personality whom he had met during the training camp!

Pa~!

at the same time.

With his savagery erupting, Hui Qi also opened the Eye of the Emperor with the monster immersion and pressed Akashi's shoulders, "Fake, just go back!"

"besides……"

"Akagi, come out here!"

Buzz~!

Crunch~!

Crunch~!

In the eyes of Kotaro Hayama, which was even more terrified than when he saw Nanzhi Ruyin just now, a strange shadow suddenly appeared behind Akashi!

Haizaki Shogo: "...?!"

That is……

what?

puppet?

The puppet strings behind Akashi were connected to Akashi's body one by one, pulling hard, stopping Akashi's movements, and then...

The light in his eyes turned red again, and the illusion caused by the invasion of his spirit dissipated.

"Excuse me, Koganei-senpai, Kagami-san."

……

In the Seirin dressing room, Koganei, with a complicated expression, and Kagami, with a fierce look, all turned their eyes away from Akashi in the magazine and came back to their senses from their memories.

Fire God Daigo: "..."

Akashi Seijuro...

Dual personality...

In normal state, Akashi's first personality has an inexplicable calming quality, and even if he does that kind of thing, people still can't get angry.

hateful!

That's what makes it even more depressing.

Tsk!

Just treat them as two people. Next time you meet him, you will make that damn second personality pay!

Koganei Shinji: "...343"

Akashi...

is that OK?

Although Haizaki said that there is no problem at all, the symptoms seem to be very serious.

Really...

Isn't this a mental illness?

……

soon.

Amid the anticipation of everyone at Seirin, a reporter from Weekly Basketball appeared in Seirin's gym.

Haizaki, Kuroko, and Kiyoshi accepted the interview in an orderly manner amidst everyone's envious expressions, while Hinata Junpei, with a tense face, also went smoothly.

until……

"what?!"

"Can you say that again!?"

"what?!"

Be it anger, irritability, or disbelief, the voices of Haizaki, Kagami, and Hinata suddenly rose in volume almost at the same time, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"That's right, Seirin. After we collect the footage from each region and compare it, you'll receive an S- rating."

"Compared to Seirin last year, this is already a very high score."

The reporter who had revealed a little bit of the content of the next sample issue originally wanted to share some good news with the Seirin team members, but he didn't expect to stir up a hornet's nest.

not far away.

Reiko Aida and others gathered around.

“S—.”

"Not bad, huh?"
