[Comprehensive] The road to becoming a king

【"You seem to have never been defeated before"

"Well, hehe, I never know what defeat is."

"Then, then let me let you taste the taste of defeat."]

For some reason, Midorima felt that he might never see Akashi's expression at that time again, such a real and warm smile.

【"Although this is impossible, I will look forward to it."】

Looking forward to it, but you have already forgotten, are you no longer looking forward to it...

Midorima spread out her hands, looked at the shogi pieces in her hands, then clenched them tightly, her eyes full of determination——

Even if you have forgotten, I will fulfill my promise and defeat you!

"Xiao Zhen~ Today's lucky object is so small."

Midorima glanced at Takao lightly, and went about her own business.

Takao shrugged and didn't care about Midorima's indifference, he leaned in front of Midorima, and asked curiously, "NENE, Makoto, today's opponent is Luoshan, which is the school where your 'Generation of Miracles' captain Akashi Seijuro is. , the person who came to the venue with you yesterday was Akashi, right?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm really curious about your relationship with the 'Generation of Miracles'. Not only is Murasakihara in front of him, but you also behaved strangely. What kind of person is that Akashi, but I saw him yesterday, uh... Is his body really gone?"

Hearing so many nagging questions from Takao, Midorima frowned, with a complicated look on his face, but he said to Takao very seriously, "No matter what Akashi's body is, don't underestimate it."

"Hey, of course I know that, after all, he is the captain of 'Generation of Miracles'!" Takao was a little helpless, it didn't matter what he said, he sighed, stood up and walked towards the door, "Forget it, let's go , I’m about to play, and I’ll know everything once I’m on the court.”

The atmosphere in the Luoshan lounge on the other side was a bit depressing. Everyone spoke cautiously, not because of the nervousness before the game, but because of the red-haired boy sitting on the main seat. The coercion that came out, the red-haired boy just leaned there and closed his eyes to rest his mind, made people fearful.

Mibuchi looked at Akashi's pale face and was very worried. Akashi didn't tell them what his health was like, but what he accidentally heard when he went to visit the doctor that day made him turn pale with shock.Are you not allowed to continue playing basketball at all?So, Xiao Zheng, what are you insisting on?

"Xiaozheng?" Mibuchi called softly, "It's time to enter."

Chi Jin's eyes opened slowly without any confusion, and his sharp eyes slid over everyone in the lounge one by one, like a king patrolling the territory, making everyone who looked at him lower their eyes involuntarily.

"Go." He said lightly, without any emotion, and the white coat was draped over his shoulders, drawing a graceful arc.Such a slender and thin figure will always leave everyone with a haughty back, but it has left an indelible mark in everyone's hearts.

Xiude High School, the king of battles.

Luoshan High School, the pioneering emperor.

The duel between the two kings attracted countless spectators, not to mention that this match was the first match of Seijuro Akashi, the captain of the "Generation of Miracles".

However, in fact, most people still have a hesitant attitude in their hearts. After all, after the match between Yangquan and Seirin yesterday, most people saw the appearance of Akashi Seijuro, and what surprised them was that Akashi Seijuro, this "generation of miracles" The former captain, the current captain of Luoshan High School, who has always been paid attention to and admired by others, is actually so slender and thin, and his state clearly shows that he has been seriously ill for a long time, and it is precisely because of Akashi's weak appearance, People subconsciously ignored the heavy oppressive feeling that affected the entire venue when he appeared.

So when they saw the red-haired boy in a jacket walking in front of Luoshan High School, there was a warm cheer from the audience.

"Hey hey hey, it's just for an appearance, is there any need to get excited!!" Takao looked around in disbelief.

"After all, the opponent not only has the captain of 'Generation of Miracles', but also the three of 'Untitled Five Generals'." Taisuke Otsubo, who was tying his shoelaces, looked solemn.

"Hey, even if that's the case, our Xiude is not bad." Takao immediately retorted.

"No, it's not just like that. You see, number four Akashi Seijuro is only a first-year student, but he is already the chief general, and no one has shown any dissatisfaction or unwillingness. Do you think such a person can make everyone feel so simple? A person who obeys his orders is a simple person." Miyaji Kiyoshi also looked uncomfortable, "You, I hope he won't be the starter, otherwise you will face him..."

"No!" Takao said seriously, looking at Midorima who was warming up beside him, "He must be the starter."

"It's... really annoying... If Shizai wants to watch it, just watch it by yourself—"

"Don't say that, Don," Himurotatsu was also a little helpless, he didn't know what the relationship between the 'Generation of Miracles' was, but he knew that Ziyuan, who seemed to be indifferent, couldn't let go of him at all.

"Hi! Xiao Ziyuan! Here, here!" In the auditorium, Kise raised his hands excitedly, "I knew Xiao Ziyuan would definitely come back. Fortunately, I reserved a few more seats."

"Yo." Aomine beside Kise greeted in every possible way bored.

After greeting each other, Kise suddenly spoke with concern, "Is Xiao Akashi really going to play? Did the doctor allow him to leave the hospital?"

"Tsk, do you think a mere doctor dares to stop him?" Qingfeng said mockingly.

"Forehead..."

Faced with the sudden silence at this moment, Himuro smiled and changed the subject, "Would you like to guess the final result?" But his words did not immediately get a response from others.

After another period of silence, Huang Lai opened his mouth, unable to hear any emotion, "The result is certain."

"Ok?"

"Luoshan will win."

Himuro didn't ask why, because he knew that even if he asked, he wouldn't get an accurate answer. This was the information he got from the faces of Aomine, Kise and even Murasakihara.

King against king, the battle between the two sides begins.

"I'll beat you, Akashi."

"Have you forgotten what I said, Shintaro?"

"No, but I'll let you know you're wrong!"

"I am the one who conquers all and is always right!"

At the beginning of the game, Xiude got the ball at the beginning, and Takao quickly attacked with the ball.

"Hehe, you said you're always right?" Looking at Akashi standing in front of him, Takao smiled, and quickly passed the ball to Midorima who rushed behind him at some point, "Don't make me laugh! Akashi!"

In just a few seconds, Xiu De took the lead and won the first point of the game.

Akashi on the side slowly curled his lips, and laughed lightly, full of interest and deep sarcasm, but closely followed by a rush of coughing.Gao Wei on the side twitched the corners of his mouth, "Hey, hey, let me tell you, your body is fine!"

This was the first game of the semi-finals, but the super-high-speed basketball skills made the audience dizzy.

The zero-touch three-pointer is like an exquisite shooting machine. This is the ultra-high technology of the "Miracle Generation" shooter Shintaro Midorima.Xiude's good start also made many audiences in the venue give Xiude great expectations, but in the corner of the auditorium, Qingfeng and others still did not change their views.

The game was fierce, but Akashi on the field felt like a bystander, just quietly watching everything that happened on the field, until Midorima scored another goal under the cover of Takao, Akashi was calm He gave Shibuchi who was holding the ball a look, and Shibuchi passed the ball to him knowingly.

After receiving the ball, Akashi didn't make an immediate fast break, but slapped the basketball steadily, staring at Takao standing in front of him with a blank expression.

"Yo, I thought you weren't going to make a move." Takao pulled the corner of his mouth stiffly, and spoke in a relaxed tone, but his beating heart and already chilled back showed that he was not as good as he appeared. easy.

Hearing Takao's provocative words, Akashi didn't say anything, as if there was no such person in front of him at all, the time passed by seconds, just when the referee had already picked up the whistle and was about to blow the 24-second violation, Akashi suddenly moved I saw that he took a step back a little later, and quickly changed the ball from his left hand to his right hand. When Takao moved to copy the ball to the right, Akashi smiled contemptuously, as if mocking his stupid overreach.

That is, at the moment when Takao was copying the ball, a suffocating strong sense of oppression pressed directly towards him. The center of gravity of the forward body was unstable, coupled with weak and trembling legs, Takao fell to his knees on the ground, The white figure disappeared in front of him like a phantom.

Silence, no one reacted, only the sound of the basketball brushing into the basket and finally hitting the ground.

"Hey, hey, have you seen Akashi's speed clearly!"

After a long silence, intense cheers came from the auditorium, and Qingfeng and the others couldn't hide their shock.

"In 3 seconds, get rid of Takao's defense, break through the block under the basket, and score a layup." Himuro Chen also said flatly.

"Hey hey, you... I'm sorry you just said your name is...?" Kise was surprised, he didn't expect that someone could see Akashi's movements clearly, but he was a little embarrassed, he didn't remember it first his name.

"Himuro Tatsuya." Himuro Tatsuya also smiled, and didn't feel any discomfort, because he knew that for people like Kise, there would always be a sense of arrogance, and only the strong would be truly looked at by them , and among them, Himuro Tatsumi squinted his eyes and looked at Akashi on the field. In the eyes of "Generation of Miracles" captain Akashi Seijuro, there was probably nothing.Akashi's actions just now clearly showed that he didn't care about Takao at all.

"But I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, I didn't see his movements clearly." Himuro Tatsuya also explained flatly, "I just think that it's impossible for a person like Akashi to waste time for no reason, so I paid special attention to it. Just a moment."

"No, no, you can see that Xiaobingshi is already very powerful if you haven't been in contact with Xiao Akashi." Kise didn't show any disappointment, but was very excited, "It really is a team with Xiao Ziyuan Yes."

"Tsk, idiot, don't make noise!" Aomine, who was impatient with Kise's chatter, slapped Kise on the head with a palm, Kise whimpered but didn't speak any more.

On the court, just after Akashi scored the goal in surprise to everyone, the first quarter was also over, and Midorima frowned and walked up to Takao and pulled him up, "I think I should have said, don't Go challenge him."

The fear in his heart still didn't dissipate. With Midorima's support, Takao didn't fall to the ground again, and finally returned to the bench, gasping for breath as if he had been reborn.

"Hey, Takao, are you okay? This is the first quarter and you're sweating too much." Taisuke Otsubo handed the towel to Takao, "Is Akashi so hard to guard against?"

"!" Takao was a little surprised, after all, it was impossible for him to be the only one who felt the suffocating pressure.

Seeing Takao's surprise, Midorima hesitated, and finally said, "That's 'shi', the power of the emperor of heaven, it can't be said to be Akashi's unique move, but under the 'shi', even Aomine can't hold on for 3 minutes."

"!" Xiu Dezhong was very surprised, just the powerful aura emanating from one person can't resist even such a super ace?

"No, Makoto, I think there's something wrong." After a while of silence, Takao's mood finally calmed down, and he said seriously, "Akashi's skills and speed are nothing to say, as a leader of a point guard Needless to say ability, but, even if I had no ability to resist in front of him just now, is he really so strong that he can't do anything? Could this be the strength of the captain of 'Generation of Miracles' Seijuro Akashi?"

As soon as Takao finished speaking, he quickly covered it with one hand, "Idiot, don't be so loud."

"It's so far away! It's impossible to hear it!" Takao quickly opened Midorima's hand, feeling a little helpless.

On the other side, Akashi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and at this time, Coach Platinum also turned to him, "What do you think, Akashi."

"Vulnerable." The arc of the corner of the mouth gradually widened, but made the others hang their heads in silence.

"Xiaozheng, is your health okay?" Mibuchi handed Akashi a bottle of water. Although Akashi didn't sweat a single drop at this time, his physical condition was really worrying.

"I don't want to repeat unnecessary words." Akashi didn't take the water, but just glanced at Mibuchi lightly.

After the break, the second quarter began.

"Akashi, don't look down on people too much!" Walking in front of Akashi, Midorima said quietly, "You have spent a whole quarter watching the game, so you are not going to use 'eyes' and 'eyes' in this game. Potential' right."

"Should you guard me, Shintaro?" Without responding to Midorima's words, Akashi smiled lightly, that was the answer that was faintly revealing in the red gold eyes that he didn't care - he didn't let go of this game at all. in the eyes.

Inspired by the contempt in Akashi's eyes, Midorima firmly suppressed his anger, and said in a low voice, "Then why do you still play regardless of your body?!"

"The one who let me down is you, Shintaro..." Akashi said lightly, without any emotion.

"What?!" Surprise flashed in his eyes, but the person on the opposite side didn't give him any more explanation, and Akashi had already passed him with the ball for a layup.

And it was only the beginning of the second quarter. After Akashi crossed Midorima and scored a layup, he never took the initiative to attack again. The "five generals without a championship" took all the offense. The powerful offensive surprised everyone.

"I don't need to do it directly at all, that's all." The score gradually expanded, and Hidetoku was even eight points behind, and Akashi's cold words reached Midorima's ears, making him stunned.

"Hehe, let's put it simply, in this game, everyone except you is holding back."

Such a sarcastic remark brought Midorima back to his senses immediately, he frowned and said angrily, "What did you say?"

"You are very strong, can you say that everyone in the 'Generation of Miracles' is very strong, but in a 1v1, the outcome may be difficult to determine, but in this team battle, the strength of the other four of you is far from ours, what do you think? How long can you hold on?"

Midorima frowned and clenched his fists tightly. After receiving the ball, he jumped high under the cover of the high tail, and shot a super high parabolic shot!

"I don't know, on the court, who is holding back!" The ball brushed into the basket, and Midorima said with a blank expression, then turned and left.

Mibuchi on the side frowned with interest when he heard this.

With Midorima as the center of Hidetoku's offense, the second quarter ended with both sides scoring equally.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Midorima Shintaro is really difficult to deal with." Nebuya Nagayoshi moved his muscles, but did not show any sense of tension, "Akashi, do you want to add another person to watch him?"

"It's not necessary." There was no emotion in Chi Jin's eyes, raising his eyes lightly, "Now you 'uncrowned five generals' can't resist him."

"Shintaro, let me deal with it!"

Midorima, who heard Akashi's words on the field, was taken aback for a moment, but immediately ignited an extremely fighting spirit.

At the end of the first half, Naksan and Xiudeok rested for 10 minutes, and these 10 minutes were given to Kaichang and Seirin to do warm-up exercises.

"I thought you'd be on the top until the end." Rubbing shoulders with Kise, Midorima said expressionlessly.

"Ah, so Xiaolujian saw it!" Kise opened his mouth and stopped, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement, but there was a deep worry hidden under it, "Seeing how well you guys fought!" No matter how exciting it is, I can't help but want to play immediately, but is Akashi's body really okay?"

"Hmph, who knew?" Midorima paused for a while while pushing the glasses, and Midorima remained expressionless.

"Although I don't know why Akashi must play, but Akashi hasn't used his 'eyes' yet."

"The second half of the game officially started." Yu Guang glanced at Kise, and Midorima didn't stop to leave.

On the other side, those who came face to face with Luo Shan were Cheng Lin and the others.

"I haven't seen him since the opening ceremony, Tetsuya." Akashi raised his lips, showing a gentle smile.

"Yes, Akashi-kun." Looking at Akashi's pale face, Kuroko frowned slightly but didn't think much about it.

"Hey." A tall figure stood in front of Akashi, and in contrast, Akashi looked even smaller, "Don't tell me you watched me, you did that to me on the day of the opening ceremony It's too much." Because of his height advantage, Kagami Taiga spoke to Akashi as if he was looking down from above.

"Heh..." Akashi didn't raise his head, just let out a chuckle without the slightest warmth, and amidst the exclamation of Heizi and everyone in Luoshan, Akashi slowly raised his hand and placed it on Vulcan's shoulder.

"Let me give you a piece of advice, no matter who is talking to me, don't lower your eyes." Akashi raised his eyes, and didn't even give alms to Kagami Taiga who had collapsed on the ground, "You, too arrogant It's gone." The same eyes that didn't give a little bit left a haughty back to the surprised and terrified people around.

"!" He, what did he do... He obviously didn't use force at all, but... he couldn't raise any resistance at all!Vulcan collapsed on the ground for a long time unable to recover.

Such a small episode was easily uncovered, and the second half began.

Under everyone's expectations, Akashi finally met Midorima. The ace of the two teams is 1V1, and the final victory of the game will also be inclined to the side that has the upper hand.

Midorima snatched the ball from Takao's hand again, and jumped up high to shoot the basket without any feint, but the ball was easily cut off by Akashi in front of him before he jumped up.

"That's why I said, it's you who let me down, Shintaro..."
