Chapter 105

"..."

I knew it.

This thing simply cannot be explained.

But...

Yukimiya Kazuma suddenly grabbed his jersey tightly at the spot where his heart beat.

'Monster Immersion: Asuka' brought not just a shooting motion, but a complete set of Shooting Skills.

After the badge triggered, it felt as if every motion before the shot had undergone detail improvements for the sake of shooting—a swift, elegant, silky sensation of readiness to shoot at any moment!

Only after using it did he realize how rough and vague the details of his own shooting finish had been before.

Thinking of Long Tian Zhang's stunned gaze just now, that a shot unreachable by such an opponent was actually taken by him, he felt...

So satisfying!

"Wow! Oh! Oh! Oh!! Senior Yukimiya!"

"You're amazing! Did you change your shooting motion?! That shot! So cool!!"

"I was completely stunned!"

"You jumped so high yet looked so light, such a cool shot!"

"It's just like a bird!"

Liang Huayin looked at Yukimiya Kazuma with burning eyes; now that he thought back, it wasn't just the shot, no, to put it plainly, compared to the motions before the shot, the shot itself was secondary.

He knew clearly that the previous Yukimiya was strong in ball control, yes, but mostly strong for the sake of 'passing', whereas now Yukimiya's motions before the shot had clearly changed to better suit shooting, and moreover...

It was a series of them.

The motions connected too smoothly.

Leaving aside whatever happened to that suddenly changed personality, just seeing how casually he altered his shooting choice while speaking, and that as soon as the thought arose he shot instantly, one could tell how freely his shooting flowed from his will.

Being able to do this meant that Yukimiya possessed the possibility to open fire anytime, anywhere.

"It's fine, don't mind it!"

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

"Go for it, Higashi-Tsukudo!"

Higashi-Tsukudo fans comforted themselves in their hearts, perhaps Yukimiya Kazuma's three-pointer was just an accident, but they did not know their nightmare had only just begun.

In the next possession, Yukimiya Kazuma once again quickly launched a three-pointer from the top of the key.

The basketball swished through the net!

"You're kidding, right? This can't be real?"

"It went in?"

"The motion is so fast, the jump so high, under such continuous movement, how is it possible to control the shooting force?!"

Long Tian Zhang: "..."

How is that possible!

Fine, maybe his passing and ball control are strong, but how can his offense be this strong too!?

Yukimiya Kazuma made two consecutive shots, while Long Tian Zhang couldn't even touch a hair on him twice in a row; first shaken by a set of super-strong dribble fakes, then faced immediately with a shot as swift as a flying bird!

Too fast!

Not only was the shooting motion fast, the connection before the shot was fast too, the technique so good there was absolutely no warning!

One second he might be changing direction to get past someone, the next second, in the middle of his ball-handling motion, he suddenly shot!

"Hey..."

Long Tian Zhang: "?"

"Watch closely... the strongest one is me!"

Meeting Yukimiya Kazuma's eyes, which looked down arrogantly with his chin slightly raised, Long Tian Zhang's eyelid twitched, yet he could not utter any words of rebuttal; however, the next second, Yukimiya Kazuma's expression suddenly softened, and he muttered strangely to himself.

Just as Long Tian Zhang was puzzled by the change in Yukimiya's expression, in Bai Shui Hall's next offensive possession, Yukimiya Kazuma came on with a gloomy face, even using a tone that sounded anything but polite to order the stiffened Bai Shui Hall players to pass him the ball.

When meeting Yukimiya Kazuma's gaze, Long Tian Zhang went numb, assuming the other must have some serious illness; otherwise, why would he seem like a completely different person the moment he took the ball to attack?

But he had to admit.

So strong, strong like a monster!

In the following offense of Bai Shui Hall, Yukimiya Kazuma continued shooting from beyond the three-point line; with the technical support of 'Monster Immersion: Asuka', his 81.8 three-point attribute finally displayed the accuracy it deserved.

The release had absolutely no pattern to follow; ball handling, triple threats, even catch-and-shoot, these connection techniques before the shot seemed assimilated by the shooting posture suddenly changed by Yukimiya Kazuma, swift and fluid.

Three-pointers poured down like rain, striking everyone from Higashi-Tsukudo until their eyes went hollow.

Continue!

Shoot again, can keep shooting, continue!

Make the motion even faster...

Faster!

"Stop him! Stop him...!!"

Fake pass, drive, hesitation step!

Shooting fake!

Burst out of the encirclement!

"Damn it! Stop him, foul if you have to!!"

So satisfying, this feeling, the ball in his palm seeming ready to turn into a shot at any moment, the feeling of doing exactly as he pleased!

Whether passing or dribbling, it turns out there's something even more thrilling on the court!

This kind of exhilaration!

Shooting over opponents' heads, making everyone look up at you like a god!

This is what basketball is really about!

It's an exhilaration only I can feel!!

Yukimiya Kazuma: "!"

Pfft!

Between-the-legs reversal, spin around, jump!

This is it, this is exactly it; only in that instant when jumping and raising the ball above your head, only you yourself who shoots the ball into the hoop, are the most trustworthy!

I just want my blood to boil, wanting to win with single-minded focus!

Watch closely.

Watch closely, all of you...!!

"The strongest is me; this is Yukimiya Kazuma!"

Swish~!

Following Yukimiya Kazuma's words, another three-pointer went straight through the net!

"Kazuma?"

The sudden voice made the emotions that had gradually deepened, and even after finishing the shot, Yukimiya Kazuma, who couldn't break free from their control, shudder violently all over.

Turning his head to look, he met Takehito Takehito's somewhat worried gaze.
