Chapter 202: Failure Always Runs Through Life From Beginning to End; This Is Life!

Besides Tsuchiya Dahe, who was molded by Yukimiya Kazuma, Dakou Longzhi's 'stealth breakthrough' was also a strange tactic difficult to resolve at once.

Even Nagi He Xiuyang and Long Tian Zhang, who possessed no special abilities, transformed into scoring experts under Yukimiya Kazuma's passing and linking.

After the match, Kuriki Noboru gazed at Yukimiya Kazuma in the distance, his expression complex.

Yukimiya Kazuma...

was far stronger than imagined.

Although missing the entire Generation of Miracles, securing him might be a better outcome.

"Alright, today's club entrance test ends here. Those I call out may come to the gymnasium for training tomorrow."

"That is all."

As the afterglow outside the gymnasium began to fade and the 5v5 matches between other new teams concluded, the results of Izumizhikan's club entrance test were quickly announced in full.

After disbanding, everyone went to the gymnasium locker room to wash up.

As a first-year, Yukimiya Kazuma used a row of lockers alongside Long Tian Zhang and others.

Just then, Long Tian Zhang's basketball bag fell from the locker, and as it hit the floor, a weekly basketball magazine slid out from inside.

'Pass Basketball'

Yukimiya Kazuma: "..."

It was just annoying.

His handsome face was on it again.

Seeing 'Yukimiya Kazuma' on this weekly magazine, the first-year freshmen immediately swarmed around.

"Eh? This is..."

"This issue is a special feature on the Generation of Miracles' third championship, right? I bought it!"

"How amazing, the weekly magazine's featured person is right before my eyes, haha~"

"So incredible!"

"Eh? Isn't this strange? It's clearly a special feature on the Generation of Miracles, so why is Yukimiya-kun in it too?"

Behind them, Bodao Kazumi, Doumoto Akira, and others, upon hearing this, did not mind having just lost the game, or even the possibility that the result might cost them their starting spots, and also swarmed around.

Among them, Bodao Kazumi nodded. "Ah, it's this one."

Seeing his collected weekly magazine exposed right before Yukimiya Kazuma himself, Long Tian Zhang felt so awkward he kept scratching his foot.

Fortunately, Yukimiya Kazuma did not mind; instead, Nagi He Xiuyang gave him a strange look, causing Long Tian Zhang to secretly glare back repeatedly.

Kuriki Noboru took the magazine from the first-year freshmen's hands and stated plainly: "I have this one too. Although the theme is Teiko's three consecutive championships..."

"... it is normal for Yukimiya to be invited for an interview as well, since he was the only and most magnificent link in the process of Teiko's third championship."

"The exclusive interviews with each member of the Generation of Miracles were also... hmm, very distinctive."

"But the most eye-catching..."

"... was indeed Yukimiya."

Several starters from Izumizhikan nodded along.

Clearly, they had all read this interview.

Stopping here, Kuriki Noboru, under the gaze of the group of freshmen, turned the page of Yukimiya Kazuma's close-up photo, revealing the title on the next page:

【Failure always runs through life from beginning to end; this is life】

"The happiest moment?"

"The league finals? The runner-up?"

"Everyone might think it was that time, but actually it wasn't."

"It should have been the day during the regional preliminaries when Bai Shui Hall confirmed they would advance to the nationals."

"In the locker room, I saw Masaki sitting in a chair, sobbing uncontrollably. That scene is unforgettable to me for a lifetime. At that moment, I thought, if I ever get the chance, I must win everything."

"Including Teiko."

"Later, for the same goal, everyone's first task turned out to be tutoring lessons, haha, it was for the summer break intensive training camp..."

"Coach Xinsongzhi is truly a devil."

"..."

"Yes, we lost. Bai Shui Hall vs. Teiko, the final score was 101:117, but the actual gap was far greater than this point difference."

"Pity..."

"The trophy was right before our eyes, a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and I failed to seize it. After the match, I felt my mind go blank, but..."

"... everyone at Bai Shui Hall told me that facing Teiko in the All-Japan finals was everyone's happiest moment this final summer, that no one would forget all of this, and that this was the most important thing."

"Thinking about it carefully, failure always runs through life from beginning to end; this is life, I suppose."

Seirin High School, on the day of new student enrollment, at the simple basketball club recruitment desk.

Aida Lizi, who had been unable to recruit anyone, sat alone behind a simple desk and chair after sending all team members out to promote, holding a somewhat faded weekly basketball magazine and reading it boredly.

"Yukimiya Kazuma..."

"'Failure always runs through life from beginning to end,' such a cool statement."

"Pity..."

"A player of this caliber is completely beyond what our Seirin can covet."

I wonder how the recruitment side is doing. Come on, everyone! Even if we don't get a player of Yukimiya Kazuma's caliber, at least bring everyone with potential!

Just as Aida Lizi was hoping in her heart, the first batch of dispatched recruitment members finally returned.

"I... I brought the new student..."

"Is the basketball club this way?"

"Eh…"

"Eh?!"

Tian Lizi stared at the guy who had almost lifted Koganei with a single hand, her eyes instantly going wide..

Basically…

he was carried over here!

And the one in front of her had the force of a wild tiger!

Who is this guy!

Tian Lizi immediately began introducing the Seirin basketball club to this seemingly well-disciplined new student, and started painting rosy pictures.
