[Kuroko's Basketball] Our age

The young boy was smashed into a mess.

"Ah! Kise-kun!"

"Kose-kun, are you alright?!"

"Hey, Kise-kun, don't worry!"

"Ah—it hurts—"

Rubbing the place where he was hit, Kise Ryo stood up with great difficulty, looked at the white-haired girl who had just thrown the book out, and immediately showed a characteristic smile.

"Ah, I'm fine, I'm fine, I know you didn't mean it... huh?"

The girl stared at him expressionlessly, completely devoid of the tearful and desperate apology that normal girls should have.

"No, I did it on purpose."

"Eh?"

"Because one of the orangutans I admire the most said that anyone with straight blonde hair is not a good product."

The girl turned her head and signaled to the purple-haired boy who was following her: "Mr. Ziyuan, give these books to this classmate, and then we can go buy delicious sticks. Remember to throw them on the top of your head."

"Yeah, got it." Murasakibara raised her arms high with a gesture like she usually practiced, showing a puppy-like expression that didn't match her height.

boom--

Many years later, in the study room of the University of Tokyo, Shiraishi stopped typing, raised his chin and sighed softly: "Ah, I wonder if Kise-kun's IQ has been affected?"

36 too confident

"Do you like basketball?"

"what?"

The boy I asked paused for a moment with his chopsticks hand.

"Haisaki-kun, do you still like basketball?"

"What do you like... that kind of thing is fine? In the end, basketball is just a game where you win and you're done."

Haizaki snorted, cleaned up the last bit of food on his plate, reached out to my plate, and a fried chicken nugget fell into his mouth.

"Sure enough, other people's food is the most delicious."

"Haisaki-kun, that's what I saved today to feed stray cats."

"what?"

"I understand your desire to equate yourself with cute things, but you really aren't cute at all."

"You you you... what did you say?"

"I'm just kidding."

I put down the chopsticks in my hand and picked up the miso soup on the side: "Haisaki-kun still can't let go of that match?"

The hand that was about to take the fried chicken nuggets from my dinner plate froze for a moment, and the boy's expression was suddenly frighteningly cold.

"Baishi, don't think that you can talk casually just because you are in front of me."

The suddenly froze air returned to normal after a few seconds, Haizaki threw the fried chicken nuggets into his mouth, with his usual casual expression as if he didn't say that sentence at all.

"Speaking of which, do you know that Kise who just joined the first army?"

"Well, it's from the same class. Haizaki-kun is interested in him?"

"Ah..." Haizaki shrugged meaninglessly, "Don't you think I'm very similar to him?"

"Like...like?"

The image of the two of them playing ball came to mind, and the data that Momoi showed me before was also recalled at the same time.

Imitation and plunder, although they are two different words, but if you just look at a game roughly, anyone will feel that they are the same.

"This afternoon's first army practice match, that guy seems to be my opponent, and the position is the same. Don't you think it will be a game worth looking forward to?"

"It is indeed a game that can provide a lot of reference."

"Haha, right?"

Haisaki stood up, and when he left, he bent down slightly, and the words that came into my ear made my spine go stiff.

"It's interesting to destroy such a guy."

My scalp was numb, and a strange feeling came up, and then I turned my head to look at the boy's back, and it was too late to say anything to him.

The former Haizaki Shougo, the Haizaki Shogo who still smiled when he was playing basketball will not come back.

He has always thought highly of himself, the feeling of falling from a high place just once would make him intolerable.Unwilling to face it, unable to face it squarely, the result is that he is now unable to face the basketball he once loved.

Because of this, you want to spread the same pain, the same frustration to others.

Facing such a guy, how long can Kise Ryota, who is still a novice, last?

The number of people joining the Ministry has been increasing day by day, and I have to spend a lot of time reorganizing the files of members of the three armies after class in the afternoon.Thinking of what Haizaki said at lunch, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

From a personal point of view, I don't like Kise Ryota's basketball, but from the point of view of the team manager, I have no reason to watch him being played by Haizaki for such a talented player.

Kise Ryota, how far can he go on this team?What does Akashi think about this person?

Can't understand, but can't sit idly by.

It was late when the materials were sorted out, and many people had already gathered in the No. [-] Gymnasium.It is not difficult to imagine that the fame of these two people has spread in the department, and there are not a few people who come to watch the game.

After struggling to squeeze in from a group of big boys, the scoreboard came into view.The fourth quarter has already started for some time, 78-72, Kise's side is behind, but the point difference is not big.

"Are you here, Xiaobai?" Seeing me, the pink-haired girl holding a DV player waved to me.

"Well, what's going on now, Momoi-san?"

"Yeah~~ This can't be explained in a few sentences. It just so happens that Sanjiang brought a DV player and lent it to me today. I'll let you watch the video later."

Momoi looked at the court again as he spoke, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "But, you should be able to see it just in this quarter."

In the center of the field, the ball belongs to the yellow jersey side. The blond boy holding the ball moves cleanly and beautifully, and quickly throws off the chasing side... No, no.

Haizaki, who stood in front of Kise, was impenetrable.

Huang Lai's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, his feet began to wander, his eyes began to drift... The next second, the young man who thought he was about to break through suddenly took a step back, jumped and shot.

"this is……"

boom--

The onlookers all stared wide-eyed, and the voices of those who wanted to applaud were stuck back in their throats.

"Although I don't know where you learned this technique, it's too early to deceive me."

Haizaki smiled lightly, grabbed the ball and quickly broke through Kise who hadn't reacted yet, unstoppable, took off and went into the basket.

"Fake moves haven't fooled the opponent... No, Haizaki-kun's reaction is too fast!"

"But as a beginner, Xiao Huang's ability to persist for so long is already very impressive."

Momoi straightened her somewhat messy hair: "Speaking of which, Xiaobai, did you see anything?"

"Hmm..." I couldn't help frowning, "The two of them are too similar, not only in the use of skills, but also in the style of play."

When did this start?On the court, Ryota Kise became more and more like a predator, with arbitrarily attacking and arbitrarily stealing, it was as if he wanted to make this stadium his own.

This temperament is more and more like Haizaki.

"I think so."

The voice that suddenly appeared did not belong to Momoi who was talking to me just now, and when I turned around I was startled, but Momoi's eyes were filled with excitement immediately.

"When did Zhezhe Zhejun come here?"

"Just now, after Shiraishi." Heizi didn't look at either of us, but put all his attention on the field.

"It feels like... Kise-kun's situation is not very good."

"No way, after all, the opponent is Haizaki-kun. Speaking of which, Kuroko-kun is Kise-kun's guide?"

"Yes, this is Akashi-kun's arrangement."

"Did Kuroko-kun try to say something to Kise-kun?"

"This... I can't do it for the time being." Heizi showed a embarrassed look, "My ability is quite special, and I can't get Kise-kun's approval for a while, even if I want to say something, he won't listen."

……

I couldn't help biting my finger, remembering what Kise had said to me when he first joined the First Army.

Even if it looks easy-going and easy to get along with, if this person's self-esteem is touched, he will never obey the other party easily.

There was a burst of applause next to the ear, near the three-point line, Kise and Haizaki had been oneonone for several times, although Kise did not fail to break through Haizaki, overall, he was still weaker than Haizaki.

However, this gap is narrowing a little bit.

Kise Ryota is imitating Haizaki Shougo, imitating the current Haizaki Shogo.

It doesn't mean imitating a certain skill, but closely following the opponent's style of play, accustomed to singles, accustomed to using almost violent methods, only has eyes on the opponent, and will never take into account the situation of others.

Ah, yes, if anyone wants to get closer to the Qingfeng he longed for, anyone will easily embark on this road.

The numbers on the timer decreased bit by bit, and when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score was stopped at 95-88.

The exhausted teenagers dispersed, and the first graders immediately came to clean up the place.For the rest, the manager needs to sort out the data of this game.

"Tch, it's finally time to practice, it's been so long."

The basketball spun around on Aomine's fingers, and the dark-skinned boy was just standing under the basket when he was immediately stopped by Kise.

"Xiao Qingfeng, come and oneonone with me!"

Even though he was covered in sweat just after the game, the blond boy still smiled easily.

"Hey, what are you kidding? You just finished a game, right? You're half-baked and still challenging me in this state?"

"Hey~~ Xiao Qingfeng said too much."

"Tsk, you're so annoying. Hey, Wu Yue, Akashi should have plans for this guy's next training, right? Hurry up and help me pull him away!"

"Uh uh, Xiao Huang can rest after doing a set of basic training."

"But I have a training mission! Will you be responsible if Akashi and I have trouble?!"

"Kise-kun, don't bother Aomine-kun for now."

In desperation, the only one who came down to the rescue
