Chapter 229

Hinata Shouhei awkwardly clenched his fist. "Bai Shui Hall is the national runner-up after all. Even if Yukimiya Kazuma lost, the words in that interview are not something I can easily say."

Aida Riko nodded in agreement.

Especially after seeing Takefune Masaki and Liang Huayin's reasons for joining the club and completing the final words of that interview, the spirit subtly revealed between the lines felt even fuller.

Just from that interview, one could see roughly what kind of person Yukimiya Kazuma was.

What was seen today was indeed no surprise.

He is someone who can easily say...

'Champion'.

And 'strongest'.

Paired with that monster-like strength, it was even more convincing.

"By the way, I see you brought that weekly magazine. Aren't you going to ask him for an autograph?" After the loss, Aida Riko found that teasing Hinata Shouhei had an excellent effect.

Even the pent-up emotions felt much clearer.

"What kind of joke is that..."

I am the senior.

Aida Riko instantly pierced through the hesitation in Hinata Shouhei's eyes, and her gaze couldn't help but flash.

Hinata, you...

really intended to get an autograph.

Soon.

Kuroko Tetsuya returned.

However, judging by his expression, this exchange was clearly not very pleasant.

Yukimiya Kazuma also returned.

But his expression was much more cheerful.

Seeing this, Takefune Masaki and Liang Huayin immediately asked curiously.

"Hmm?"

"Nothing~"

"Just issued a declaration of war before the match~"

"Using Facing Qingfeng's words, I left Facing Qingfeng speechless. I feel great~"

Outside the gate of Izumi Shinkan.

With a gloomy face, Aomine Daiki, after leaving Izumi Shinkan, was unusually talkative and chattered on, with the core of his words all being attacks on Yukimiya Kazuma.

But at the same time, he also felt very strange.

Why?

'Cleaning up your bunch of small fry takes more than twenty minutes.'

'Only I can defeat me.'

'There is one thing I agree with you on: the perseverance to come all the way to Izumi Shinkan for reconnaissance.'

'Stop whining over there!'

Why did that bastard know my usual words and sentence structures so clearly!

"Yukimiya Kazuma, you bastard!"

Momoi Satsuki, standing nearby, looked at the furious Aomine Daiki and couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.

This practice match was truly worth coming for~

Thank you, little yellow~

Thanks for the intel~

"Hey, Daiki, are you preparing for the match against Yukimiya-kun? Since we are both in the Tokyo zone, we will definitely meet soon at the I·H~"

"Ah!"

"I will make him thoroughly taste the flavor of defeat!"

"Daiki..."

"Hmm?"

"Yukimiya-kun just said that same sentence~"

"Tch! That bastard!"

On the other side.

In the combination of a bicycle plus a small trailer, the cart driver was still Midorima Shintaro.

His face was gloomy at this moment...

I didn't expect...

That guy Yukimiya Kazuma is also a Gemini!

Damn it!

I even lost the rock-paper-scissors game for the return trip!

Takao Kazunari, with a Grave expression, sat on either side of the battle-damaged small trailer with Kise, saying, "Little Shin, sorry to trouble you. Kise-kun said that Seirin's number 10's strength is not much weaker than his..."

"Plus the two starters from the All-Japan runner-up Bai Shui, and the Phantom Sixth Man."

"This lineup actually lost by over 100 points? What did that Yukimiya Kazuma do after hitting every shot? He's become that terrifying?"

Midorima Shintaro nodded.

Though he didn't want to admit it, among the opponents he acknowledged, right now, besides Akashi, the one posing the greatest threat to him was Yukimiya Kazuma.

Akashi was because of the existence of the 'Emperor Eye'.

And Yukimiya...

Whether it was height and wingspan, jumping, speed, or shot-blocking ability, he was the type who could apply continuous pressure on him in direct defense.

He was even above Facing Qingfeng.

As for Mibuchi, due to his physique, wanting to continuously run and defend the perimeter would involve some stamina issues.

At this moment, Kise Ryota suddenly slapped his thigh, "Oh no..."

"Hmm?"

"What?"

"Little Facing Qingfeng."

"Little Kuroko."

"Little Midorima."

"Little Yukimiya."

"Four Tokyo Zone teams, but the Tokyo Zone seed slots are only three! After I make it to the National Tournament, won't there be one team I can't play against?!"

"Or rather, among you, someone definitely won't make it to the Nationals?!"

Midorima Shintaro: "!!"

Midorima Shintaro: "Hmph, that person definitely won't be me."

Midorima Shintaro: "Moreover, I, who do my utmost to await heaven's will, will definitely secure the number one seed."

"But..."

"Little Midorima lost all the rock-paper-scissors games today~"

"..."

"Kise, we've arrived, get off the bus."

"Eh?"
