[Comprehensive] The road to becoming a king

"Oh, I went a little too far."

"Yeah... aha~"

"Qi, it really is a piece of cake."

"Hmph, I'm just doing my best."

167:8

When Akashi pushed open the door of the passage, what he saw when he looked up was such a score, Akashi smiled, and lowered his eyes to meet the complicated expressions of everyone in Miracle.

Miraculously, everyone panted slightly, sweat dripping down, but when they saw Akashi appearing, they all adjusted their breathing, declaring something to Akashi with the attitude of a winner.

Akashi's complexion was still pale, but the fierce aura around him was even worse. The moment he pushed the door to enter the stadium, the audience was silent for an instant, as if they were waiting for the emperor's tour, and their eyes focused on him.

Bathed in such hot eyes, Akashi didn't feel the slightest abnormality, and the curvature of the corner of his mouth remained unchanged. He raised his hand gently, and the clapping applause echoed rhythmically in the quiet gymnasium.

"Seeing such beautiful results, I'm literally..."

"Very gratifying..."

Hearing Akashi's unintelligible words, Miraculously, everyone turned their attention away from the half-smile on Akashi's face.

Akashi's episode this time was like a passing moment, and no one mentioned it. In the next two games, Teiko won such an overwhelming victory. However, it is worth mentioning that in those two games, Akashi, the captain, did not play, and even Kuroko, who is called the "Phantom Sixth Man", did not play.

No one understood what he meant, but no one dared to question his decision either.

However, it wasn't until the next day, in the lounge, that Midorima realized something was wrong when he suddenly saw Akashi going to get the water in front of him. The water bottle was wiped.

"Akashi!" Midorima exclaimed, and his exclamation immediately attracted several other people in the lounge who were looking after themselves.

"Shintaro." Akashi took a sip of water with a calm expression, and then glanced at Midorima who was quite excited.

After seeing those obviously strange eyes, Midorima became even more excited, "Your..."

"Shintaro!" Akashi's tone rose slightly, which was a warning.

"What... what happened to Captain Akashi..." Kise stepped forward, but was blocked by Midorima's body.

"Little Green Room..."

"..." Midorima took two deep breaths before speaking slowly, "Akashi, I think...we need to talk."

Akashi frowned, but he didn't refuse. He glanced at the others, got up and walked out of the lounge.

Looking at Akashi's back standing in front of the railing, Midorima's expression became more and more complicated, and he hesitated for a while and walked forward.

"Akashi... you..."

"It's no big deal," Akashi turned his head, the pair of scarlet gold eyes that were originally terrifying, but at this moment, the golden eyes were dim, unable to reflect a trace of color.

"It's just some sequelae."

"It's good that you know about it, don't draw other people's attention."

"Akashi..." Midorima wanted to say a lot, but when he saw that dim eye, he couldn't say anything.

The game on the second day was still the same, but the figure who played with all his strength like the first day was no longer visible. He was attacking and defending alone, playing a game of seeing who scored the most points. The Generation of Miracles had completely ignored the opponent .

"Hmm... the opponent in the final is Ming Qing..."

"Huh? Is there a difference..."

"Tch, it's still not the same."

But Kuroko behind everyone silently clenched his fists, and he walked up to Akashi.

"Akashi-kun..."

"Hey, little blackie, you want to be the starter?!"

"I understand, then next time, Qingfeng will come down."

Qingfeng frowned, but said nothing.

court--

"Oh, it's the twins who were defeated by Chi Zai last year..."

"Hehe, this year we will definitely take on last year's feud, and we will soon." Arrogantly raised his finger to Akashi and Aomine who were on the bench. "Akashi Seijuro and Aomine Daiki pulled out from the bench."

Akashi smiled lightly, but didn't say anything.

There were no doubts about the game on the court. Facing a team that played evenly without Akashi last year, this time the Miracle Generation didn't even play the ace, and the score was still far ahead.

In the third quarter, Kise Murasakihara and Midorima retreated to the sidelines in order to preserve their energy.

The twins who were treated like this by Generation of Miracles on the field suddenly erupted, but Heizi couldn't dodge in time and was hit by an elbow by one of them, and fell to the ground.

Outside the infirmary door, Momoi waited anxiously, but at this moment, a boy in sportswear appeared, asked Momoi a few words, but walked straight to Akashi.

"Teiko's captain - Akashi Seijuro."

Akashi folded his chest against the wall beside him and closed his eyes, even when he heard the voice, he didn't lift his eyes.

"I'm Ogiwara Chenghao from Meikou Middle School." Seeing that Akashi still didn't hear anything and didn't give any response, Ogiwara frowned and continued, "I'm also Kuroko's friend."

Hearing these words, Akashi finally raised his eyes, but still just glanced at him plainly, then he straightened up and prepared to leave, "It seems that Tetsuya is looking forward to competing with you, but it's a pity that Tetsuya won't be able to play like this. "

"Well, then I will trouble you to try your best to compete in the competition, although the result will not change in any way."

Passed by, without giving an extra look.

"Wait a moment!"

Akashi didn't stop.

"Do you like basketball?"

Akashi paused his footsteps and frowned, but he recovered only for a moment.

"I'm not reconciled to not being able to fight against Heizi. I also realized that you didn't take us seriously."

"But what on earth do you take basketball for?"

"Is it just a tool to achieve victory?"

"Your game..."

"There should be something more important than victory, isn't there!"

What a familiar word!hehe

Akashi sneered, stopped in his tracks, and turned around, "Don't you want to say... enjoy the game..."

"Heh heh heh, it's really boring."

"That's just an excuse for the weak to find after failure, it doesn't make any sense!"

"But it's because you lost that you will work harder, and if you win next time, you will be very happy, right?"

"Isn't that the fun of playing basketball?"

"And you, what's the point of playing basketball just to win!"

Akashi frowned, and laughed even more ironically when he heard Ogiwara's words, "Oh, that's why you are a loser."

"Say something beautiful after a failure, and then pin your expectations on the next time, and the cycle continues."

"Tsk, what a waste of time."

Without staying too long, there is only deep anger left in Akashi's heart.

Basketball, heh, why does he play basketball?Because of the mission!Even he has to win the mission!Tasks, tasks, everything is just a task, how can he enjoy basketball and love basketball!

His every move is like a puppet being manipulated and played by others, and then he is looked down from a very high height. What is this, and what is this so-called king game?Even if he really became the king in their eyes, so what if he was still firmly suppressed by this unknown force above him, so what if he stood at the highest point in the world !

Ha, but, since the purpose of this game is to become a king, then he will become a king for them to see, but...hehe, then it is definitely not...the so-called mortal king.

Pushing the door of the lounge open, Akashi smiled when he saw the miraculous crowd with different expressions inside.

"Guys, let's play..another game..."

In the final, Diguang Middle School played against Mingguang Middle School. To everyone's surprise, all five members of Generation of Miracles stood on the field in this match.

It is still an overwhelming victory, the game is not over yet, and the final result is unquestionable, Diguang will win the third consecutive championship in the Chinese League.

However, when Heizi was struggling to bring it to the court with a bandage on his head, he was full of surprises: it was not right at all, this kind of score is too strange...

111:9

On the court, even in the face of such a big difference in scores and the despair of the players, Ogiwara Chenghao still insisted, "Don't give up! We still have time!"

"There are still 15 seconds left, we will take the above two as our final goals!"

"Even if you lose, don't leave us with too many regrets!"

His teammates rekindled their ambitions because of his words, and when Ogiwara Chenghao threw the last ball, his eyes were still full of anticipation.

Then, the facts were not as they expected, the ball hit the backboard, and the last glimmer of hope seemed to be wiped out at this moment. But at this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from beside them.

"Don!"

The tall purple-haired boy let out a lazy sound, then jumped up, and poured the ball directly into the basket with an alley-oop.

"!" In the end, he dunked the rebound like this.

The game was over, but the result was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.

They made me dunk on purpose, and so did Murasakihara.. but why did they do it... Ogiwara was confused.

"Tsk, it's a waste of me to let them play cool at the end." Qingfeng smacked his lips impatiently.

"But you see, we finally figured it out, Chi Zai said the game."

together?Suddenly, Ogiwara Chenghao understood, and he turned his head to the score screen in a daze: 111:11

......

Heh.. just adding up the scores of the two teams to... 1..?

So.. those lost points too.. they lost on purpose? !

Hehehe....From the very beginning, they just treated it as a game, playing a number game...toy?

Heizi outside the court also immediately understood the strangeness of this game, he whispered sourly: "Ogiwara...kun..." But Heizi only saw the desperate and painful expression of Ogiwara Chenghao.

"Akashi...kun..." Kuroko murmured helplessly, "Why...why..."

The promise with the childhood friend was shattered, and all the surrounding noises also faded away at this moment. What is this...?Is this really a victory?

Not like that.. Basketball is not like that.. Victory is not like that!What I'm after...what I'm after...isn't this!

Akashi who lined up to salute suddenly frowned, as if something was wrong.

The third grade of middle school has come to the end, and everyone in the Generation of Miracles has received different invitation letters from various schools at the same time, but they all coincidentally did not reply immediately.

"I think you have all received the invitation letter, so don't hesitate any longer." Akashi looked at the members of the Generation of Miracles in the First Gymnasium, and said flatly.

"If we are still in the same team, I am afraid it will be difficult to make any progress."

"Oh, and..." Akashi paused, raised his eyes and smiled ironically, "Although I don't know why we are called [Generation of Miracles]."

"But, I think each of you hates this title..."

"We're going to be rivals one day, that sort of thing... I've seen it coming."

"A strong light will one day be swallowed by a light stronger than itself..."

"Well, then before being devoured, let's destroy the light other than yourself..."

"Then we'll face each other.. and fight not to be swallowed by each other!"

Miraculously, everyone was silent for a while, but it was Qingfeng who spoke first, "You are right, we will meet again, and then I will defeat you." After speaking, he turned and left.

"Well, that's it, but Xiao Heizi...I'm afraid you won't understand..."

"Oh, as for Tetsuya...even if the purpose is different...he will also participate in this war." Akashi smiled, then turned to look at Murasakihara who was silent at the side, "Atsushi, I remember that you seem to have received a letter from Yangquan Middle School. invitation letter, then don’t hesitate and go.”

Ziyuan paused while biting the delicious stick, and then slowly said, "So... where is Chi Zai..."

"Me? I will go to Luoshan."

"..Really..." Ziyuan murmured, and then left the gymnasium.

In the end, only Akashi was left in the gymnasium, but at this moment, Kuroko suddenly appeared.

"Tetsuya... Long time no see..."

"Akashi-kun..." Heizi clenched the black wristband in his hand, and he gained a lot of courage because of it, "I want to ask for an answer."

"Why...why the last game..."

"Tetsuya, I thought you would want us to take this game a little more seriously."

"Yes..." Heizi lost control, "I hope you don't let the water go, but that's not how you treat it!"

"Don't you think this method is easier to focus everyone's attention than simply scoring points in the game? If so, why are you angry?"

"But you really make me feel weird, Heizi..."

"It's just a different way. Are you saying these beautiful things here just because the other party is your friend?"

"And turn a blind eye to other people... Heizi, you are like this..."

"I.. I don't know.. but that day of victory was the most painful and frustrating day for me... I also thought... I never want to see that day again... too painful...."

Hearing this, Akashi's heart moved, but he noticed that Kuroko said 'zeng',

"But... I won't give up... Akashi-kun..." Kuroko wiped away the tears from his cheeks, but his eyes were full of determination instead of confusion, "I will definitely prove...you are wrong. ..I will definitely make you..like basketball!"

Firmly clenched the black wristband in his hand, Heizi bowed deeply after finishing speaking, "Akashi-kun... thank you for taking care of me all the time, but we will be opponents next time we meet."

The gymnasium fell silent again, and Akashi stood where he was, with a terribly gloomy expression.

So..everything he did before was.. hard work?

Is this the fix of the law?

A nearly distorted smile slowly appeared on Akashi's face, but at this moment, the abyss godhead inherited in the depths of his soul suddenly trembled.

"After five seconds, you will leave the source world."

"!" Akashi's glasses widened in surprise, and after a deeper feeling, he discovered...this is from Uranus...help!

Akashi's body shook for a while, before entering the darkness, Midorima's panicked face was frozen into the final scene.
