Song of Light and Shadow

[Yes, I will never lose, I will never fail, as long as it is my decision, it is impossible to be wrong. 】

Akashi watched as Kuroko fled in front of him but didn't chase him out.

Kuroko is now only confused because of Aomine, and when he wakes up, he will understand that he, Akashi, is the only one who really thinks about him in this world.

Kuroko is the only one, but to Akashi, he is not an existence that transcends everything.

Akashi knew very well that if he couldn't stand on top of everyone, he didn't have the right to tie Kuroko firmly by his side.

So even for these people on the same team now, he needs to defeat them at a specific time. He must let Kuroko see clearly that only he, Akashi Seijuro, is his destination.

A few days later, to Akashi's surprise, the supervisor called him over.Although it was later than he expected.This can only prove that the current supervision is too low in terms of intelligence and strength.

"I heard that after the practice a few days ago, you told Murasakihara and the others that it's okay to practice, is that true?"

"Yes."

"Why do it?"

"Why?" Akashi felt a little ridiculous, "Didn't the supervisor say the same thing to Aomine that day? So I interpreted the supervisor's meaning as that anyone with the same strength as Aomine can enjoy this kind of treatment. .”

"I didn't mention that! Even if you are the captain, you can't arbitrarily..."

"I don't think what you did was wrong." Akashi interrupted the supervisor's words, looked at the supervisor calmly but with some indifference, and said calmly, "Teiguang's philosophy is only victory, and it is also the same to do whatever it takes to win. You have taught us all the time. For the current team, it is not a reasonable arrangement to use the shackles of the team to force a few of us to train together every day. On the contrary, free development can improve the value of everyone. Therefore, it is not necessary to focus on training this The choice that is not the best should be discarded. Supervisor, you did the right thing, didn’t you?” Seeing the supervisor’s pale face, Akashi snorted and watched him raise his voice contemptuously, “Or, do you think Is Aomine the only player worthy of special treatment?"

Looking at the supervisor who stopped talking, Akashi knew that this team had now become his property in a real sense.

The training is still going on, the competition is still going on, and life still has to go on day by day.

"I didn't say anything. It doesn't mean I acquiesce. I just don't care about you. As long as the game can win, it doesn't matter. Dahui, you can come if you want, or you don't want to, but the game must be played, and you won't get the points you deserve. Just leave the army."

"Shintaro, you only need to practice your three-pointer well, and don't worry about the rest."

"Dun, stand under the basket, your task is just to be a wall, don't miss a single ball."

"Ryota, I'll just say it once, play your ball steadily."

The feeling of being in control is back.

Akashi felt that the current situation was much better.Compared with carefully maintaining the relationship between teammates before, it is better to be straightforward and just to win.And the clearer the purpose, the easier it is to manage.As long as everyone gets what they need to do, that's enough.Because even if they are left alone, they can keep moving forward.

"Young master, the dinner party tonight is cancelled, do you think you should go home directly or go to the master's place?"

After a day of training, Akashi received a call from Tanaka.

"Just go home, I still have something to do, just wait at the door."

Akashi hung up the phone, glanced at the only wardrobe that was not opened, and frowned.

Heizi has been training a little too much recently, which can be said to have exceeded his prescribed amount, which is not good for Heizi's health.

After tidying up his clothes, Akashi walked back to the arena, and sure enough, Kuroko was still practicing there.

I saw Heizi dribbling the ball with his right hand, pretending to be his opponent, throwing the opponent away beautifully, and then making a jump shot.

The ball hit the edge of the rim and bounced out.

Akashi narrowed his eyes.Heizi's shooting practice is not in the practice menu he made.

"It's so late, are you still training?"

After interrupting Kuroko's pitching, Akashi walked into the hall and handed the towel he was holding to Kuroko, "Wipe off your sweat, don't catch a cold."

"Akashi-kun..." Heizi took the towel and wiped his face carelessly.

"It's rare that you're practicing shooting. I should have said, you don't need to do this, do you?"

"……makes sense."

Heizi's expression froze visibly.

"Hurry up and go home."

Seeing that Kuroko had dropped again, Akashi felt a little distressed, so he urged Kuroko to rest quickly.

"Akashi-kun, do you like basketball?" Suddenly, Kuroko looked up at Akashi.

"What's the point of asking such a question?" Akashi was puzzled, "Like or dislike, there is no necessary connection to victory, right?"

"I, I don't understand at all..." Heizi lowered his head and clenched his fists, as if in pain, "The current basketball club is different from before, it should be said that it is like another basketball club. Same, since the day Akashi-kun became like a different person..."

Akashi raised his eyebrows.Heizi can't blame him for thinking this way, after all, he hasn't told Heizi about himself before, no, it should be said, until that day, even he himself didn't know.

"A different person? No, that's not the case, Tetsuya. From the beginning, I have been two people, even though they both have the name Akashi Seijuro. It's just that you saw another me before."

"……what?"

Seeing Kuroko's unbelievable expression, Akashi chuckled, walked in front of Kuroko, stretched out his hand to caress Kuroko's face, and rubbed Kuroko's skin that had become a little cool after inactivity with his thumb.

"I'm not hiding what you mean. As for whether to believe it or not, it's up to you, but if you attribute this to the so-called change in your impression, I can only say that it's necessary. It's not my change. It led to the change of the team, but the change of the team made me have to stand up. The other me is too gentle, no, it is probably the so-called gentleness in your eyes. But it is unnecessary for the current Emperor Guang Yes. Everyone's outstanding talents are awakening, and we have no opponents. If there is an opponent, it will be between us and no one else can intervene. And, we will eventually become opponents. By the way, Tetsuya, you Do you know? In the world of lions, there can only be one lion in a group. If there are two male lions of similar strength, they will fight to the death, until one of them loses and is kicked out of the group. There are not only two lions, but five. Even as the captain, there is no way for me to drive the other four away at this time, because I still need them to win a complete victory for me .So, in order to prevent possible internal collapse due to repulsion, I chose to let it go. Because we shouldn't be working together anymore."

Heizi stood there in a daze, and finally managed to make a sound after a long while, "How come... what are you talking about... Akashi-kun... this is wrong, isn't it..."

"But isn't the relationship between you and Dahui the best proof?" Akashi sighed, "The relationship between you and Dahui can be said to be the best light and shadow, but the light of Dahui is already too strong, too strong to be There is no need for shadows anymore. And now you and Dahui can’t cooperate well. But if you work independently and let everyone play freely, it will be more practical, isn’t it? Only in this way can we ensure complete victory.”

"How come...is there nothing more important than victory?!"

Akashi didn't understand why Kuroko couldn't accept this fact. What's the point if he didn't win the game?Forcibly pressing everyone together to play will cause greater conflicts, will you be happy then?Wouldn't that situation not only make it impossible to get along happily, but might even tear the basketball team apart, making it impossible to even win in the end?

"No, because Teiko's philosophy is victory. Although the operating mode has been changed, the philosophy has not changed. It's just that the previous way of getting along may make you feel happier." Akashi's fingers slid from Kuroko's face Next, switch to the posture of pinching Heizi's chin, forcing Heizi to raise his head and look into his eyes, "It's not unwelcome to come to me when you're in a bad mood, but it's still a headache. I thought Will you be more enlightened? Tetsuya, or in your heart, is your happiness more important than making Teiko stand at the top of the country? You must know that vague ideas are vulnerable Ah. I think, Tetsuya, you must not be such a selfish person, are you? If you want everyone to celebrate together as before every time you win, that's totally fine. I can still do it for you Arrived, but what is the significance of this matter? Because it is impossible for us to lose."

Feeling Kuroko's trembling body, watching him close his eyes and desperately trying to convince his heart, Akashi felt a kind of pleasure that he had never felt before flowing through his body.

Heizi can only listen to him alone, and he only needs to listen to him alone.In this way, Heizi will only belong to him alone.Then implement that plan, let Heizi fully understand that only he is the right one in this world, and everything will be complete.

"...Maybe, what you said...is true...everyone grows and changes...but I really want to go back to the time when everyone was laughing and playing together before the middle school game That's all..."

Looking at the tears in the corners of Kuroko's eyes, Akashi lowered his eyes, leaned over and gently kissed away the slightly bitter liquid, and said in a slightly disappointed tone next to Kuroko's ear: "If you want to retire because of this matter , I won’t stop you. After all, this is your choice. If you want to play basketball, Hall [-] will always be open for you. So, it’s up to you to decide. But if you want to stay in this team, you must Accept the fact, if you still want to stay here as the sixth person of Teikoku... But, you won’t leave until you and your childhood sweetheart have fulfilled your promise, right?”

He will not allow Kuroko to leave his side, Akashi knows very well that now is the best time to take his place in Kuroko's body and mind, he needs Kuroko to put his existence first all the time.

No matter what means are used.
