Chapter 16

Yukimiya was confident that even without the badge, he would have a high probability of blocking a dunk of this level. Now, with a 50% increase in block success rate out of thin air,

he felt that the block success rate at this moment might have already exceeded 100%.

Boom~!

A muffled sound like a watermelon being slapped.

Yukimiya Kazuma accurately blocked the basketball. The opponent only felt his hands go empty, and the basketball was swatted away.

Whoosh~!

The ball flew out rapidly, flying far toward the spectator seats, and then hit the railing of the spectator stand.

And on the other side of the railing, Aomine Daiki was passing by.

For a moment.

Aomine Daiki turned his head to look at the court below, his eyes carrying a hint of surprise.

But that was all.

Soon, he and Kuroko Tetsuya left the spectator seats.

And Yukimiya Kazuma on the court didn't care; he just looked at Aomine Daiki with curiosity, and then, as the referee blew the final whistle, he began to line up with his teammates.

For Yukimiya Kazuma, the reason he trained so hard was simply because he liked the feeling of fighting (showing off) on the court.

Of course...

The implicit reason in the parentheses actually accounted for a larger part.

Including but not limited to enjoying the cheers of the audience, as well as the attention of everyone, both opponents and teammates.

As for the protagonists like the Generation of Miracles, he would be curious; after all, these people were the representatives of sci-fi basketball. Besides that, their existence was just interesting opponents who could cheat to him.

As for that last play, it did look a bit like a provocation, but it was actually just an accident.

Hmm...

Definitely an accident.

Yukimiya Kazuma was never the type of person who liked to provoke opponents.

If he provoked an opponent...

It was mostly because the team's tactics required it.

The game ended.

Baishuikan Middle School broke through the first round with a score of 101:41.

After the game, Taketou Masaki and the others were very excited because this was the first time in nearly three years that Baishuikan Middle School had broken through the first round in a tournament of this level.

The last time they broke through the first round was the last time, and at that time, even Taketou Masaki hadn't joined Baishuikan Middle School yet.

Coach Shinmatsu Osamu's face also rarely wore a smile; after all, Baishuikan Middle School had never been a basketball powerhouse, lacked that foundation, and their basketball never pursued the talents of the players.

Education without discrimination—that was roughly Coach Shinmatsu Osamu's philosophy in middle school basketball.

But as a coach, it was impossible not to hope for results. If they could go further, for example, taking a school like Baishuikan Middle School, which was unknown, into the national tournament...

Thinking of this...

The sixty-three-year-old Shinmatsu Osamu felt his heart suddenly heat up.

"It's not entirely impossible!"

He looked at Yukimiya Kazuma, who was bowing to his opponents in front.

The ambition hidden somewhere in his heart was gradually breaking through the soil, and with Yukimiya Kazuma as the source, it was being violently watered.

[Attribute Task: Defeat Enseiji Middle School, win the game, and provide 10 or more assists]

[Completion Reward: Self-allocated attributes × 4]

[Self-allocated attributes loaded successfully...]

[Obtained attribute points × 4]

After the game, when the Baishuikan players left the court, the audience in the stands began to shout Yukimiya Kazuma's name.

They gave warm applause to this tall point guard whose playing style was primarily passing and control, but who also lacked no violent performances. Surrounded by his teammates, Yukimiya Kazuma also waved to the audience, enjoying the enthusiasm they directed at him.

Shinmatsu Osamu looked at this harmonious scene and showed a satisfied smile.

He knew that Yukimiya Kazuma was the correct answer for Baishuikan; their opportunity had come!

The regional qualifiers for the All-Middle School tournament, logically speaking, usually wouldn't have reporters following the games, but the Tokyo district was different because the Generation of Miracles was here.

When Yukimiya Kazuma left the court, he was immediately surrounded by several reporters. He briefly accepted interviews from several basketball magazines, and then, while passing through the player tunnel, many spectators from the nearby stands came to shake his hand.

Yukimiya Kazuma clearly felt that his performance had gained quite a bit of popularity.

Returning to the locker room, Yukimiya Kazuma tidied up and checked his system while washing up.

The system page unfolded in his mind, and Yukimiya Kazuma checked his attributes.

[Name: Yukimiya Kazuma]

[Badges: Playmaker (Gold), I Love Blocking Dunks (Purple)]

Yukimiya Kazuma added all the obtained self-allocated attributes to speed, making speed the third attribute to reach over 90.

Next.

Yukimiya noticed the changes in the badges.

Only after obtaining a badge through a task for the first time could the more detailed content of the badge be viewed.

For example, 'Playmaker', until now, Yukimiya Kazuma didn't know it was a gold badge.

Although he didn't know if there were higher ones, gold, in any system or game, was definitely the top-tier thing.

No wonder it required double 90s, or even mid-90s attributes to be used effectively.

Once again, thanks to System Dad for the generosity, giving two attributes and a gold badge right at the start.

"Phew..."

"I Love Blocking Dunks, purple, the name is quite interesting."

"Targeting dunks, increasing block success rate by 50% is also quite violent."

"But it seems that badge tasks can only be triggered in formal tournaments like the All-Middle School tournament."

Yukimiya Kazuma couldn't wait. After all, the thrill of strength skyrocketing out of thin air like a badge was really hard to resist.

He was too engrossed in studying the system, so his shower took a bit long, but no one came to urge him.

Because the Baishuikan members, who had just won the All-Middle School qualifier, were all talking to each other tirelessly at this moment.

For one thing, Yukimiya Kazuma contributed the most to this game, while others were just passively cooperating in both offense and defense. Their role throughout the game was almost entirely auxiliary, so their stamina consumption was much less than imagined.
