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

They became the other two first-year regulars in the first team.

Later, in the 'Ten Schools Exchange Tournament' held in the Tokyo district, due to specific restrictions on Teikou, the national champion, only Teikou's first-year students were allowed to participate.

In this tournament, Shigure and Nijimura, along with Kuroname Shinji, Fukaya Reiji, and another first-year student who was urgently promoted, formed a team...

Ok……

chiffon.

that's it.

As the rain fell, Qiu Ren grew taller.

It is early April, the time of year when cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

It is also...

The entrance ceremony of Teiko Junior High School.

……

At the gate of Teiko Junior High School, under the cherry tree where Shigure and Nijimura had agreed to go to the baseball field every year six months, cherry blossoms were scattered all over the ground.

On the brick wall full of red historical feeling, next to the name of Teiko Junior High School, there is a banner welcoming new students, the same one that was used when Shigure enrolled last year. It may even be a reused one from last year.

Amidst the rustling noise of the crowd, suddenly, a luxury car that looked like an imported product stopped at the gate of Teiko Junior High School.

The driver quickly walked to the back seat and opened the door. Then, under the curious eyes of the surrounding students, a bright rose red appeared in front of everyone.

The driver closed the car door, turned around, and asked respectfully, "Master Akashi, are you really going to drop me off here?"

Akashi Seijuro nodded, turned around and smiled, "That's right, and starting tomorrow, I won't need you to send me off."

The driver was visibly stunned when he heard this.

"This one……"

"I need to inform Mr...."

Before the driver could finish his words, a rapid rustling sound suddenly came from the distance, followed by the noise of students coming from far away.

Influenced by the strict family tradition of the Akashi family, the driver frowned slightly.

follow closely……

He saw the two figures who had caused the commotion.

Coincidentally, he knew them all.

Last year, as a reward for his academic performance, Master Akashi went to watch a middle school basketball game, and he was dragged along by Master Akashi to watch it too.

Although he didn't know much about basketball, the two people at that time, especially the classmate sitting in the back seat of the car, made people feel the charm of basketball very intuitively.

Just as he was thinking this, the two men were getting closer and closer.

On a speeding bicycle.

Although Shigure Akito failed to ride the motorcycle of Nijimura, who had turned over a new leaf.

But it's also the beggar's version...

bike.

At this time, Nijimura Shuzo, carrying Shigure Akito, pedaled hard with an impatient look on his face!

"Wuhu~"

"Hey~"

"You also lost in the assist competition, Nijimura~"

"Shut up."

"That's just because your side is stronger!"

"Haha, I rarely hear that, Nijimura. You're the one who's going to come up with that kind of excuse. No wonder you've only grown 4 centimeters in all this time? You're only 1 centimeter away from 180cm. Keep it up~"

Hongcun Xiuzao: "!!"

Crunch~!

Nijimura, who couldn't stand Shigure Akito talking about his height recently, braked suddenly in front of the school gate and then reached behind him with one hand, showing his terrifying arm strength...

In front of Akashi Seijuro's wide-open eyes, he threw Shigure Akito off the back seat of the bicycle!

however……

What surprised Akashi even more was...

Shi Yu Qiuren reacted extremely quickly and stepped off the bicycle frame!

Front flip...

Arms parallel...

Land smoothly on one knee.

Akashi Seijuro: "...!"

Such flexible physical abilities...

The dancing is also...

So high!

After Shigure Akito landed like Little Goku, he looked up and saw Akashi Seijuro in front of him.

He was a little surprised, but at the same time he was glad that he did not miss the appearance of the miracles. Even though it was the first time they met, Shigure Akito greeted him very familiarly.

"Yo~"

"First year, Akashi-san~"

Akashi Seijuro was stunned, but out of good etiquette, he subconsciously replied, "Hello, Shigure-senpai."

At the same time, he noticed that the people around him were not too surprised by the scene before them. Some of them just looked at him as if they had seen an idol, and a group of senior students were whispering to each other.

Shigure Akito stood up.

A strange look flashed in Akashi's eyes again.

Because Shi Yu Qiuren has grown a lot taller than he was six months ago.

184 cm.

If it were last year's full-time center, in many teams, this might even be the height of a center. Even for Teiko and Okayama, judging by their height alone, they are tall enough to play power forward.

Just as Akashi was surprised by the change in Shigure Akita's figure, the Akashi family's driver brought up the previous topic again, "Master Akashi, regarding the issue with the pick-up just now..."

Akashi's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. He just smiled gently, "It's okay. He'll agree to this kind of thing. After all...if people were to watch us like this every day, the Akashi family would be laughed at."

"and……"

"In middle school..."

"He should be able to give me more freedom, right?"

When Shigure Akito heard this, he also heard some clues from the conversation between the two. Combined with the extremely strict parenting style of Akashi's father in the comics...

It was obvious that the young master of a wealthy family was trying to gain more freedom for himself, and the driver in front of him was most likely their master's spy...

Shigure Akito: "..."

What Young Master...

master……

Blame it on feudalism!

Then, he turned to look at the driver of the Akashi family, "I'll take care of this classmate. You can go without worry. What's the point of a pick-up? This is Teiko, what could possibly go wrong..."

"You know, this place is..."

"cough……!"

"He's got it covered!"

Shigure Akito turned and pointed at the speechless Nijimura Shuzo, then said, "Don't be fooled by his short stature, he's the captain of the Teiko basketball club!"

"I just taught a gray-haired punk a lesson on the baseball field!"

Under the strange looks of Akashi and the driver, Shigure Akito put his arm around Akashi Seijuro's shoulders and said, "Classmate, do you want to play basketball? I can tell you're very talented!"

Nijimura Shuzo stopped Shigure's inexplicable excitement today and pulled him away from the first-year, but because of Shigure Akito's words, he looked the first-year up and down.

"..."

He is less than 1.7 meters tall.

at the same time……

Still very slender.

Although Shigure had concluded that the guy he met today, Haizaki Shogo, was quite capable at playing basketball, and he was right, but this red-haired guy in front of him...

He really didn't understand how Shi Yu could tell that he was very talented.

and also……

Why did I run into two people dyeing their hair in a row today?!

But looking at the appearance of this first-year student who looks like a good and rich boy, he shouldn't be a gangster like Haizaki Shogo. He at least seems easier to manage.

After this period of training as captain, Nijimura Shuzo also subconsciously looked at problems from the captain's perspective.

At this moment.

Shigure Akito leaned down and whispered something in Nijimura's ear.

Then, the driver who originally wanted to catch up saw the shorter of the Teiko Twins with a look of disdain, and then glanced at him with sharp eyes.
