Chapter 191

"Kazuma and I originally planned to accept Naruse's recruitment, but after hearing from Senminkan that you would come here, we followed."

"Hah?!"

"Who said that?"

"I've never heard of such a thing!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Long Tian Zhang, who once left a vivid mark in 'Pass Basketball', blushed instantly upon hearing He Xiuyang's words, far lacking the flair he once displayed in magazines proclaiming himself 'the second best in all of Tōchū'.

This former ace of Tōchū also participated in the All-Japan Finals as the third seed from the Tokyo region.

However, before even encountering Teikō and Bai Shui Hall, he was eliminated in the first round.

Life has indeed smoothed out his edges, hasn't it~

It is worth mentioning...

The one who eliminated him was Tsuchiya Dahe, the ace of Hagiya Middle School and the number one seed from Kyoto in middle school, who stood about as tall as Yukimiya Kazuma on the other side.

Beside Tsuchiya Dahe stood a familiar face, carrying an idol's burden yet with eyes almost flying under the girls' skirts: Ōguchi Longzhi, the ace of Kitaoka who faced Bai Shui Hall in the third round and was just one step away from entering the Enter Round-Robin Finals.

"Yo~"

"Heavenly Dragon Eight Steps~"

Ōguchi Longzhi froze upon hearing this; although he didn't know what the first two words meant, the words 'Eight Steps' were clearly a mockery of his 'magical footwork'.

Just as he was about to speak, Yukimiya Kazuma followed up with another blow to his face.

"What kind of lineup is this? The ones defeated by Bai Shui Hall..."

"The Losers' Alliance?" Nine.
