Chapter 206: The Magical Daily Life of Zhuteng Yashu and Liang Huayin!

After Zhuteng Yashu and Liang Huayin joined the Seirin basketball club, the past few days felt especially magical.

They met Kuroko Tetsuya, whose presence was almost nonexistent, and during the in-team practice match, they finally got to witness the strength of this Generation of Miracles' Phantom Sixth Man with their own eyes.

Hearing Yukimiya Kazuma describe it was one feeling; seeing it in person was another. Anyway, after personally receiving a pass from Kuroko Tetsuya once, it felt pretty miraculous.

Even though they had already witnessed far more miraculous things before, in a sense, Kuroko's passing was also very strong — a completely different track compared to Yukimiya Kazuma.

The whole point was catching people off guard.

At the same time, they also got to witness their coach's miraculous ability — the Data Eye.

Making someone strip and scanning them with the naked eye, then being able to visualize concrete numbers in the mind — honestly, that's pretty outrageous.

Oh.

What's worth mentioning is—

Their coach turned out to be a second-year, Aida Riko, and the old man Takeda they had initially assumed was the coach was merely a figurehead consultant.

Under Aida Riko's Data Eye scan—

Kuroko Tetsuya's poor physical stats were entirely within Zhuteng Yashu and Liang Huayin's expectations.

After all, when preparing for the match against Teikou earlier, Yukimiya Already had revealed information about Kuroko Tetsuya, but the sheer physical ability of Kagami Taiga completely exceeded both of their expectations.

They heard from the coach that their two bodies, covered in training marks, surpassed all the seniors in the Seirin basketball club, but were still a notch below Kagami.

This surprised Zhuteng Yashu and Liang Huayin greatly.

After all, their impression of Kagami was still that of a guy Yukimiya Kazuma had beaten in three rounds, and god knew what kind of devilish special training each of them had done after the All-Japan Middle School Tournament.

Although this was self-inflicted, the devilish special training schedule was still drawn up with the help of Coach Xinsongzhi, so one could imagine just how devilish it was.

However...

Kagami's strength was sufficient.

For the team, and for them, this was also good news.

After that...

They met their old opponent, the 'Generation of Miracles'' Kise Ryota.

This guy's transformation was too great — Zhuteng Yashu and Liang Huayin, as former opponents on the court, and Kuroko Tetsuya, as a former teammate.

All of them were stunned speechless by Kise Ryota's changes.

Using his specialty, imitation, Kise replicated it one-to-one and easily defeated Kagami. Whether it was speed, strength, or leaping ability, Kise had made terrifying, substantial progress.

After the in-team practice match, Zhuteng Yashu, Liang Huayin, and Kuroko Tetsuya had all felt for a time that Kagami Already had reached the lowest level of the Generation of Miracles — that is, Kise Ryota.

Yet after more than half a year, Kise Ryota's rate of evolution far exceeded their expectations.

Most importantly, Kise was skilled at imitating others' basketball techniques, but previously he couldn't imitate anything at the Miracle level at all.

For example, during the All-Japan Middle School Tournament, when Kise faced Kazuma, he couldn't imitate either that miraculous ball-handling or the shooting, which led to his near-invisibility during the match against Bai Shui.

Whether this had changed or not was still unknown.

Moreover...

If even Kise was like this, then what about the others?

What about Qingfeng?

Most importantly, just how far must Kazuma have evolved by now?!

Then...

The most magical part came...

No one knew who established the tradition at Seirin, but official club members had to stand on the rooftop, face the entire school, and declare their goal of going national.

Utter social death...

And if they couldn't fulfill their promise, there would be extremely severe consequences!

'If you can't do it, then strip naked and, in front of everyone, confess to the person you like!'

Terrifying beyond words.

That is all.

That was Zhuteng Yashu and Liang Huayin's magical week-long daily life at Seirin.

A few days later.

Izumishiro Academy.

"Ohh~ ohh~ so big ‖!"

"As expected, there's a huge difference in the investment toward sports clubs."

Hyuga Junpei's first impression upon stepping into the western king, Izumishiro Academy, was simply how big it was.

Compared to Hyuga Junpei's composure, Kagami Taiga had been staring with bloodshot eyes from a moment ago, prompting Zhuteng Yashu to complain helplessly:

"Kagami..."

"How nervous are you, exactly?"

Kuroko Tetsuya, with an adorably blank face, added: "Kagami-kun, your eyes look even fiercer than usual..."

"Shut it."

"I got too worked up last night and couldn't sleep."

Kuroko's precise retort: "An elementary schooler before a field trip?"

Liang Huayin turned his head to look at the Seirin group.

Although everyone's sense of urgency had risen a notch because of Kise's appearance, they clearly still didn't have a sufficient grasp of this year's high school basketball landscape.

Kise and the like were still ordinary — the most terrifying one was someone else entirely.

Immediately, he and Zhuteng Yashu proactively contacted Yukimiya Kazuma and arranged this practice match between Seirin and Izumishiro Academy.

Just then.

"Long time no see~"

"Yajuu, Aki~"

Yukimiya Kazuma walked over from a distance and greeted Takefu Yajuu and Liang Huayin amidst the crowd's bewildered stares.

"Kazuma..."
