[Black Basket] On the Victory of the Emperor

07: Vulcan

"Wow~ What are you guys doing in a daze? Aren't you training?"

Alex, who had just picked up the ice room, returned to the club, and all he saw was a group of people standing there without knowing what to say.

"Ah, Alex, you're back."

A player who was standing closer to Alex scratched his head and replied. He looked at the ice room next to Alex and asked with some doubts, "Did Vulcan come?"

"Tiger is going to change clothes and get ready."

When Alex arrived, he saw that Vulcan was there when he went to pick up the ice room, so he came together.

"Oh~ that's really great!"

The player seemed to have thought of some good idea, he was a little excited, "You are really lucky, first Ice Room and Vulcan, and now there is another little guy, I really look forward to what will happen when he plays with Vulcan Kind of!"

"brat?"

The ice room, which had been quiet all this time, looked up at Alex suspiciously.

"Akashi-chan, right? Before I went to pick you up, Akashi-chan came to the club."

Alex explained to his disciple.

"Alex, Tatsuya—"

Vulcan's voice came from behind, and Alex and Himuro turned around.

"It's really fast."

The ice room said something.

"Of course it is!"

Vulcan looked very excited, as if he had encountered something interesting, "I heard in the locker room, Alex, you brought a rookie who is very good at basketball, he is the same age as me, and he is also from Japan. of!"

Because Kagami had passed out when Akashi appeared before, even though Himuro briefly mentioned it later, Kagami still didn't remember.

"Akashi-chan, today should be the first day of basketball..."

So it was said that he was very powerful on the first day... Alex thought about it, could it be that he is as talented as Tatsuya Tiger and the others?

"Come on, I can't wait!"

Vulcan's eyes lit up, he couldn't wait to play with the ball in his hand, urging Alex and Ice Room to go in quickly.

"Tiger, slow down! Tatsuya's leg is still hurt!"

But obviously Alex's shout was useless, because Vulcan had already gone one step ahead.

Alex and Himuro looked at each other helplessly, and then chased after him.

***

"Hey, I'm Vulcan Taime! Are you the awesome rookie they say?"

Akashi's figure and appearance and that dazzling hair color made Vulcan quickly find him.

——Shorter than I thought... Could it be a mistake?

"Akashi Seijuro."

Akashi looked at Vulcan, is this person Vulcan...

It was also because of the fact that Vulcan fainted that day, so Akashi only knew the appearance of Vulcan, and he had no idea what kind of person he was.Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t know at all. Akashi has guessed part of Vulcan’s character from the words of Himuro and Alex before, and there is that memory as a foreshadowing. It is not accurate to say that he does not know at all, but what he saw with his own eyes after seeing

——Newborn tiger calf

This is Akashi's first impression of Vulcan.

"Let's play!"

Vulcan is not a devious person, he stated his purpose straightforwardly.

"Tiger."

In the time of two conversations, Alex and Ice Room, who were a bit late, caught up.

"What are you doing?"

Alex guessed [-]% that Vulcan was definitely inviting Akashi to compete, but she didn't hear it after all, so she asked again.

"I want to compete with...A, Akashi!"

Because he was preoccupied with the competition just now, Kagami almost didn't remember Akashi's name.

"Fool!"

Alex sighed as expected, "Akashi just touched basketball today."

"Eh--!!!"

Kagami was very surprised, he looked at Akashi in disbelief.

"But... Alex, Akashita's hit rate is obviously 100%!"

Vulcan pointed to the shooting machine not far behind Akashi, which was the one Akashi played just now.

"kindness?!"

Alex didn't notice it before, but when Vulcan mentioned it, she looked in the direction Vulcan pointed, and it was indeed 100% correct, coupled with the attitudes of the people around her and what she had heard before, Ah Lex didn't think that the machine was broken.

Alex started scrutinizing Akashi, and that feeling...or rather, the vision and instinct of a former WNBA woman told her.

--genius!

Genius without a doubt!

No less than Vulcan and Ice Room, a talent that is rarely seen even in the NBA.

——I found a treasure!

The reason why Alex didn't have Akashi's talent that he discovered at the first sight of Akashi was very simple.

If a person has a great talent in a certain area, but if he does not do that thing, it will never be discovered, but once he does, his talent will be revealed.That's exactly what happened to Akashi.

"Akashi, when did you start shooting?"

Alex's face became more serious, and she needed to know more about Akashi's talent.

"Come to the club today to shoot for the first time."

Akashi said something surprising in a flat tone.

"!!!"

To be able to do that in just a few hours on the first shot...that's something Vulcan, not even Alex, can do.

"How much do you know about basketball?"

Alex continued.

"Theoretical knowledge was checked after I went back yesterday, and I have already understood it all. It is the first time to practice today."

There are not many rules of basketball, but there are also many terms that can only be understood with practice, but Akashi, who is only ten years old, can claim to "understand everything" after one night, so , It's not arrogant, it's really extraordinary.

Obviously, Akashi belongs to the latter.

"Want to learn basketball with me?"

Alex asked solemnly. He asked a similar question yesterday, but the difference was that yesterday he was more inclined to invite Akashi to play, but this time it meant accepting students.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, but I'm going back to Japan tomorrow, so I'm afraid I can't."

Akashi politely rejected Alex.

"It's ok."

Although it is a bit regretful that Akashi cannot be accepted as an apprentice, Alex is already very satisfied with Himuro and Kagami.

"Alex—"

Someone called Alex not far away.

"Someone calls me, then you guys play first, Chenya, you watch them."

Although Akashi looked very steady, after all, no Himuro was familiar with this place, so Alex asked Himuro to watch, and Alex left after giving orders.

"Akashi, let's play basketball!"

The previous invitation to the battle was interrupted by Alex, so Vulcan said it again.

"No,"

Akashi shook his head slightly, although he also wanted to compete with Vulcan to see what level he was, but his body did not allow him to do so, "I just finished shooting training, my body needs to rest."

Although he had replenished water and wiped off his sweat, his panting and heartbeat still hadn't calmed down, and his clothes were mostly soaked and stuck to his body, making him feel very uncomfortable.

The amount of sweat was greater than any exercise Akashi had ever done before, and logically he should feel disgusted, after all, he is the noble and elegant heir of the Akashi family, but unexpectedly, he didn't hate it at all.

"That's what a pity."

Huoshen regretfully picked up the ball and went to the basket by himself. Before leaving, he even shouted, "Next time we must compete!".

Akashi readily agreed.

"Himuro-kun, where is the locker room?"

Akashi, who played basketball for the first time, was still unable to get used to wearing sweat-soaked clothes for a long time. Even if he had that memory, it was just a memory after all, just like he watched a movie about the future, just knowing or There is a sense of substitution, but it cannot create any physical memory.

"I'll take you there."

Although Bingshi's leg was injured, after two days of recuperation and treatment, he won't have much problem walking.

"Thank you."

Akashi nodded.

***

Because it is a club, there are actually several locker rooms. Himuro brought Akashi to the one they often use, which can be said to be a relatively good one.

The butler was left in place by Akashi, and he only took clothes from the butler. Bringing the butler with him in this kind of place is very eye-catching, and it is definitely not Akashi's style to let the butler serve everything.

There is no one else in the locker room except for Akashi and Himuro. Also, most of the people should be in other locker rooms or have already changed their clothes and gone out.

Akashi is wearing a white T-shirt today, which is more suitable for basketball training.

After the baptism of sweat, many parts of the white clothes have become translucent. It's a pity that Akashi is only a ten-year-old child now. If five or ten years later, it must be a good scene. Both the current appearance of Akashi and the appearance of Akashi Fukuro have shown this future.

Although he hadn't changed his clothes in front of outsiders, since both of them were boys, Akashi took off his shirt without hesitation.

The white and tender skin is no worse than any Caucasian I have seen in the ice room. Because not long after exercising, Akashi's body is still sweating, and a drop of crystal sweat flows down his neck, flowing across his chest and ribs, In the end, Akashi wiped off the area around his waist with a light red towel, wiped his body hastily, and Akashi put on a new t-shirt.

"Akashi-kun,"

Seeing that Akashi finished changing his clothes, the ice room said, "There is a very good drink shop nearby, which is very helpful for cooling down, and Alex also said that it has nutritional value. I invite you to go, yesterday you rescued I haven't thanked you enough yet."

"yesterday……"

Akashi wanted to say no, but Himuro's invitation seemed to have nothing to refuse, so he agreed.

"kindness."

In this way, Himuro took Akashi and left the club.

Huh?What do you seem to have forgotten?

Is there?
