Chapter 295: The Triggered Mission Happened Sooner Than Ever Before!

~6 min read 1,054 words

Group A Seirin, Group B Touou, Group C Nakamori, Group D Izumi Shinkan.

The four teams for the round-robin finals of the I-H Tokyo Prefectural Preliminaries have all been decided.

Right after.

The 'Idiot Kagami Score Sprint Group' formed to tackle the exams conducted the sprint training for Kagami and the other subjects went smoothly enough.

Only the final Japanese subject could not be broken through no matter what; angry, Aida Riko bluntly gave up, reasoning that since the test used a four-choice bubble sheet, a random guess should yield around 25 points, and the remaining points could be made up with the other four subjects.

However...

The final result left everyone stunned.

Kagami, holding the treasure 'Rolling Pencil' gifted by Kuroko, rolled the pencil to guess answers throughout the entire exam, yet achieved an excellent score of 98 in Japanese.

Thus, amidst the shock of Hyuga Junpei and others regarding the 'Rolling Pencil', the entire Seirin team successfully escaped the crisis of remedial classes.

Next.

came the concentrated training for the round-robin finals.

Whether in time or density, Seirin's training volume was in no way inferior to that of the high schools known as powerhouses.

The training proceeded smoothly.

Yet Kagami was depressed because, while playing at an outdoor court off-campus, he unexpectedly ran into Aomine Daiki, and due to recent high-intensity training, the exhausted him was easily defeated.

Taking this as an opportunity, Kagami learned the story of Aomine and Kuroko, the 'Light and Shadow' pair from middle school.

"Because you became too strong, it's boring?"

"Is that what the 'Generation of Miracles' are? Idiots?"

"Well..."

"If I were to say one thing."

"I would say, don't get cocky, idiot!"

"Just beat him cleanly once to wake him up, Kuroko."

"Ah."

Then, finally, the day of the finals arrived; just as Aida Riko was relieved about Seirin's smooth progress during this period, what greeted them was Seirin's greatest Waterloo.

Aida Riko, on the bench at the sideline, had been unable to sit still since the first quarter, her eyes filled with shock.

With the entire team's strength, they could not stop Aomine's offense at all, and on the offensive end, the Phantom Sixth Man that Seirin always relied on was also easily broken down by Aomine Daiki.

The Set Tactics Aida Riko had painstakingly arranged were almost useless against Aomine Daiki's super-strong individual offense; instead, he broke all methods with sheer force, completely defeating Kagami and Kuroko on defense, while on offense, he defeated the entire Seirin team single-handedly, including scenes of one-man-five throughout the game.

The game reached the fourth quarter.

The score on the court was 129:41.

The highest scorers were actually Takefune Masaki and Liang Huayin, who relied on team offense and faced Aomine the least, but the opponents they faced, Wakamatsu Kousuke and Suzasa Kaden, were not weak hands either; with just the two of them, they could not reverse the downward trend.

Even compared to Aomine's scoring rate, the two's scoring could only be described as a drop in the bucket, and their hearts couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

Aomine has become stronger; there is no doubt about this. Just looking at his height of 192 centimeters and his sturdy build, one can see the difference in physical ability compared to middle school.

Previously at Bai Shui Hall, Yukimiya Kazuma had provided a safety net on defense.

But now...

Kagami was not Aomine's match in any aspect.

The two of them were Seirin's second barrier against Aomine; however, every time Aomine got the ball, that terrifying 'wildness' pressure made them both feel like they couldn't breathe.

During the Teiko era, the Generation of Miracles still needed to distribute ball rights among each other.

But after entering high school, Aomine, who ruled supreme in the team and could unleash his full power to shoot all over the court, made Takefune Masaki and Liang Huayin feel even more terrifying than facing that Teiko team.

In the stands.

He Xiuyang and Long Tian Zhang were both stunned.

Aomine had already scored at least 60 or 70 points by now; looking at the Seirin players on the court with their faces in a mess, the two finally had their mouths slightly open, yet speechless.

At this moment.

Tsuchiya Dahe suddenly sighed: "It's over; Actually Already from the first quarter, it was over."

Yukimiya Kazuma nodded.

Indeed.

It was actually over from the first quarter.

Unlike the original timeline, because of Yukimiya Kazuma's existence, Aomine had locked onto his target early in the initial regional preliminaries.

This game did not wait until the end of the second quarter to enter the court like the original timeline; instead, from the very start of the game, he went all out and scored crazily.

It was somewhat like treating this game as a warm-up to find his rhythm with Yukimiya Kazuma before the match, or, because of that training match, treating Seirin, the same opponent, as part of the contest against Yukimiya Kazuma.

Aida Riko gritted her teeth, forcing herself not to show panic.

But looking at everyone on the court who was powerless against Aomine, she had nothing to say.

Because all the moves she had available in her hands were already used up; the stamina of several starters had reached the point of exhaustion, and Kagami also had to leave the court due to five fouls from guarding Aomine all game.

"It's over..."

"It's been one-sided from the start; it's unbearable to watch."

"A difference of nearly 90 points..."

"No matter how much they struggle, it's useless, right?"

The noisy murmurs around constantly entered the ears of the Izumi Shinkan players, but looking at Seirin who was still trying to defend, though they knew it was impossible, they vaguely felt an impulse to open their mouths and refute.

On the court.

Aomine Daiki, with his dance-like super-high-speed dribbling, looked at Kuroko Tetsuya who was still stubbornly standing in front of him, and suddenly spoke:

"Much faster than I expected; the outcome was decided long ago, wasn't it?"

"The passes we were so proud of no longer work; stamina has long been exhausted."

"The Fire God is not here."

"Your presence has already been adapted to by everyone; right now, you are even worse than a bench player."

"I have won."
