Genta Takeuchi didn't put Seirin in his eyes at all.
A second-year girl as a coach, a basketball club established only two years ago.
If not for an old friend's request, he wouldn't agree to play against such a team.
What kind of players could a second-year brat teach?
This was simply a waste of ti.
But Seirin made him furrow his brows with just one offensive possession.
Especially after switching to a full-court ga. On Kaijo's first offense, Yukio Kasamatsu was stolen by Kuroko. Takeuchi's expression suddenly beca colorful.
"This sense of incongruity... exactly the sa as that ga a year ago."
He thought of the duel between Homi Academy and Teiko; a similar feeling appeared then.
"Wait... Seirin's Number 11."
Takeuchi looked closely and actually saw a vaguely familiar figure in Seirin's lineup.
"Homi Academy's Tetsuya Kuroko?!"
"Eh? Did the coach only notice Little Kuroko now?"
"You knew early on? Since you knew, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I said it! I told Coach to treat this practice match seriously."
Kise felt wronged. He had changed into his jersey early before the ga started.
But the coach said things like "If you play, how can they play?" and pinned him to the bench.
"Tch. In that case, get on the court, Kise!"
Besides those six geniuses, Homi Academy's players nad Haizaki and Kuroko were also targets other teams wanted to fight for.
But after winning the National Tournant championship with Yuuto, those two players disappeared.
Didn't expect one of them actually ran to this scrub team Seirin.
"Coach!"
"Everyone wake up! Since he's from Homi Academy, he deserves our attention."
Including Seirin's Number 10 too. That athletic ability was no joke.
"Oh, subbing Little Kise in so soon? Very cautious."
"Can't be helped. After we lost the ga, Tokyo newspapers have been trying to prove that Teiko didn't lose because of a gap in strength."
Midorima said lightly.
Proud Tokyo people were always unwilling to accept the fact that Yuuto defeated the Generation of Miracles alone.
For this reason, they specifically analyzed Homi Academy's lineup, then praised the starting five individually.
Finally reaching a conclusion.
Even if Haizaki and Kuroko's abilities didn't reach the Generation of Miracles level, their functionality perfectly adapted to Yuuto.
Under such propaganda, Haizaki and Kuroko beca household nas.
After speaking, Midorima wanted to see Yuuto's reaction, but the Seiho Ace just watched the court quietly.
"That guy improved quite a bit too." Yuuto's gaze was burning.
The data coming from Kise showed substantial improvent compared to a year ago.
Five-dinsional stats improved by a large chunk across the board, completely leaving Tomoki Tsugawa in the dust.
eting again, Tsugawa would probably be blown out by Kise one-on-one.
The match restarted.
First attack upon Kise's entry, he copied Kagami's dunk.
A powerful dunk, attempting to tear the rim down as well.
Then he was kicked rcilessly by Yukio Kasamatsu.
"Little Kise hasn't changed, so funny." Momoi covered her mouth, snickering.
For girls, Kise was really a perfect boy—handso and with a good personality.
"Too bad, not my type." Momoi stuck out her tongue secretly, glancing at Yuuto.
The pace of the ga was fast.
Perhaps both sides hadn't adapted to battles of the Generation of Miracles level yet.
Whether it was Kise, or the Kuroko-Kagami combo, neither had good counterasures for the other's offense.
The score kept rising alternately.
But under this rhythm, Riko Aida called the first tiout of the ga.
At this ti, the numbers on the scoreboard were 22:25, yet the ga had only been going for five minutes. (Author note: Not made up, really that absurd, 47 points in 5 minutes).
One can imagine how fast the pace of this ga was.
Riko Aida watched the players hurriedly rehydrating. They only played five minutes, yet their state looked like they played a half.
She had preliminarily realized these basketball powerhouses weren't just empty nas.
"Even setting aside Kise, Kaijo's other players are genius players recruited from middle schools all over the country; their body stats are all very high."
"If not for Kuroko and Kagami..."
Thinking about this, she found Kuroko looking distracted toward the second floor.
"Kuroko?"
"Sorry, Coach, what did you say just now?"
"I haven't said anything yet. Rather, you... what were you looking at just now..."
Riko Aida looked in that direction, then froze as if immobilized.
Others noticed this anomaly and looked over one after another.
On the second-floor stands, a group of two guys and a girl were chatting and laughing while looking at the court.
Nothing special.
"What's wrong? Kuroko, Coach?"
"Those three... Lion King Yuuto and the Generation of Miracles!"
Hearing this, Kagami's eyes changed instantly.
Still that exclusive aura of the strong, only compared to Kuroko and Kise, the aura on those two was much more intense.
Especially the one without glasses.
"Is he Yuuto?"
"Yes."
"Is that so? Although I asked once before, Kuroko... do the current really have no chance of winning against him?"
Honestly, after contact with Kise, he preliminarily understood the terror of those six geniuses.
Even with Kuroko by his side helping, Seirin trailed Kaijo.
This was the gap.
"Yes, not a single chance of winning."
"Even with you added?"
"Even with added, no."
The two spoke back and forth.
Their expressions were relatively calm, but the people beside them were surging with waves inside.
They were at least temporarily fighting Kaijo to a draw; how co they had no chance of winning facing Yuuto?
"Is he really that strong?" Junpei Hyuga asked unwillingly.
"Yeah. In less than a year, Kise-kun's progress has exceeded my expectations, but even the current him is not enough to be ntioned in the sa breath as the third-year middle school Yuuto."
This was really great news.
Current Kise was already strong enough to make them feel non-human, yet he couldn't even compare to last year's Yuuto?
They turned to look at the player on the second floor radiating hormones, and their gazes changed.
"Forget about Yuuto for now, focus on the match in front of us!"
