Chapter 107

"Hmm?"

"If I score and can't get out for a long time during the upcoming offense, please call out to me like you just did, during the defensive possession..."

"Alright, but is it really okay? I mean this state, will it have a bad effect on you?"

"It's fine..."

"It's just that this scoring ability requires deep immersion with highly concentrated spirit; once used, I just need to detach from it."

Higashi-Tsukudo could no longer bear the pressure of Yukimiya Kazuma's three-pointers; they even arranged double-team defense on the three-point line, yet Yukimiya Kazuma simply pointed wildly at the top of the defender's head in front of him:

"I'm going to shoot over the heads of you two..."

"Right here!"

"Look up!"

Long Tian Zhang struggled desperately against Yukimiya Kazuma's fakes.

However...

Yukimiya Kazuma shot a three-pointer right at the spot his finger had indicated just now.

Over the heads of Long Tian Zhang and his teammate, even though Long Tian Zhang's defense was already in place, the basketball still cleared his fingertips.

The instant Yukimiya Kazuma turned, the sound of camera shutters rang out from the sidelines.

In the lens, as the basketball swished through the net, Yukimiya Kazuma slowly raised a single finger pointing toward the spectator stands.

"Whoa!"

"I can't believe it..."

Yukimiya Kazuma's performance shocked countless spectators; if one basket was coincidence and two were good luck, how could you explain six consecutive three-pointers?

Two uncles in the stands were extremely excited, speaking incoherently from agitation; Yukimiya's sudden outburst even made them feel he was no less than Midorima Shintaro!

"Amazing, I knew it; a player of Yukimiya Kazuma's caliber, how could his offense only be at that level? So this is his true strength!"

"During the match against Teiko..."

"Was he still holding back?"

The third quarter ended.

Yukimiya Kazuma made seven of nine three-pointers in a single quarter, racking up 21 points; his frantic performance in the final four minutes completely crushed the last shred of morale Higashi-Tsukudo had left.

Exhausted, sitting on the court, Long Tian Zhang with his head bowed, his hands trembled slightly.

Step~

Step~

Step~

Just then.

Slow and clear footsteps gradually approached from in front of him.

"Eh?"

"Senior Yukimiya? Where are you going?"

Long Tian Zhang looked up and met the calm, unrippled eyes of Yukimiya Kazuma; from those eyes, he clearly read excitement and jubilation.

Even though Yukimiya still wore that same cold expression.

"Damn it..."

Long Tian Zhang averted the other's 'winner's' gaze, while Yukimiya Kazuma simply looked down at him, and at the Higashi-Tsukudo players around them, all in various postures but uniformly disordered and dejected.

Yukimiya Kazuma: "..."

Ha...

It was me.

Who shattered!

My baskets, in just a few short minutes, shattered the beliefs of five people on the court!

This is, so-called 'victory'?

Ah...

What's happening...?

Turning to look at the other Higashi-Tsukudo players, those who dodged, those who were cowardly, all could be classified as collapsed; those gazes facing me...

I feel, so good!

Clap~

The irritable emotion was abruptly cut off.

Takehata Masaki's hand on Yukimiya Kazuma's shoulder tightened firmly as it came down, his tone unusually stern, "Yukimiya, back to the bench."

In the system, the golden brilliance of 'Monster Immersion: Asuka' suddenly dimmed.

"Ah..."

"Sorry."

Facing everyone on the Bai Shui Hall bench, Yukimiya Kazuma offered a slight smile, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Haru Yuji whispered to the person beside him, Terashima Daisuke, "So scary; Senior Yukimiya's personality today is super vicious, but his offense is also super fierce..."

"Strange..."

"It seems the more terrifying the attitude, the stronger the offense..."

Terashima Daisuke hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I heard it's some kind of immersion state, probably similar in principle to the senior's meditation. Do you think it's possible this is the senior's true nature? Once immersed, he can't spare attention to manage it, so he can't control his true nature and expresses it all at once?"

"Eh?"

"If you say that, it's even scarier..."

……

Beep~~~~

The referee's short final whistle echoed through the gymnasium, and the movements of everyone on the court instantly relaxed.

"The match is over!"

"The winner, Bai Shui Hall Middle School..."
