Chapter 357

Yes.

Of course I didn't break a single drop of sweat!

Disdainful of his opponent's weak strength, he barely played a few minutes in today's practice match and went off on his own to focus on his physical training!

Well...

Anyway, it was a complete victory!

I won't bother him today!

Come to think of it...

We should thank that Seirin ace, otherwise this guy Facing Qingfeng probably wouldn't even be willing to do that physical training; today he likely wouldn't have come to the basketball club at all, probably hiding on the school rooftop looking at photo books!

Kojima...

Kojima Mai or something...

Noticing Wakamatsu Kousuke's face changing several times, Sakurai Ryo could only apologize out of habit: "I'm sorry!!"

After a while.

"Ah!"

"It's so hot!"

"I... I can't take it anymore!!"

Wakamatsu Kousuke shoved the sauna door open, dashed out in a flash, and jumped into Hanashiro Shuichi.

"Ah, it hasn't even been five minutes yet. Come on, we bet our drinks on this." Imayoshi Shoichi propped his chin, looking speechless as he complained.

And inside the sauna, the only ones still standing firm were the regulars of Teiko and Biewu Society.

Tsuchiya Dahe glanced at Sakurai Ryo, who looked nervous, "Are you okay?"

"Ha!!"

"I'm fine!"

"I'm truly sorry!"

Tsuchiya Dahe: "..."

"No..." Tsuchiya Dahe: "Actually, you don't need to apologize..."

Clang~!

Wakamatsu Kousuke, who had just run out, came running back with a face full of confidence, "Resurrection!!"

"Hey, hey!"

"There's no such thing as resurrection!"

"If you can't hold out, you're eliminated!"

Long Tian Zhang, seeing this guy whose expression was extremely similar to his own, felt quite annoyed and scolded him with an equally fierce expression.

At that moment, Imayoshi Shoichi suddenly spoke to the Biewu Society side: "By the way, I've watched recordings of two of your recent practice matches. That guy Yukimiya Kazuma has gotten stronger again..."

"Congratulations to you all~"

Hearing this, Dakou Longzhi frowned slightly, "You didn't come just to say things like that, did you? Meeting by chance in a place like this, such a coincidence couldn't be that coincidental. What exactly are you plotting?"

They even scouted our recent practice matches in advance.

So it's...

Intimidation?

It shouldn't be that boring.

Imayoshi Shoichi smiled slightly, "Don't misunderstand. Because of Momoi-san, the information we need to collect isn't limited to your Biewu Society~"

"But one thing Dakou Longzhi said is correct. Although it's true we're holding practice matches nearby, it's definitely not true that we met you here by chance."

"Since we knew you were here, we came specifically to say hello."

"Although we couldn't show our full power when playing against Biewu Society, Yukimiya-san should know that our team's Momoi-san has great information-gathering abilities. Pity he's not here~"

"I'd love to see his expression right away."

"This..."

"Although there's still some time before the official announcement~"

"Thanks to Momoi-san, our Teiko is probably the first in the Tokyo district to get..."

"The I·H main tournament bracket~"

Everyone from Biewu Society instantly perked up from the lethargy caused by the sauna!

Long Tian Zhang eagerly took it, while also unable to help complaining: "Naked... how did you even bring this thing in..."

"!?"

Immediately.

After seeing the content on the bracket, Long Tian Zhang's eyes widened.

Imayoshi Shoichi smiled like a fox; this was the moment he had been waiting for, "It seems you know the information on Yangquan. Did you hear it from Yukimiya-san?"

"Momoi said that Yukimiya-san is even skilled in the area of information~"

"Truly amazing~"

"That's right."

"Although Biewu Society avoided us and was split into the lower bracket."

"But your luck isn't so good~ In the same bracket, not only is Luoshan, where the champion Akashi and the captain of the Generation of Miracles are located, but in the first round you'll face another member of the Generation of Miracles..."

"Midorima Shintaro from Yangquan~"

"If we want revenge, we'll have to wait for you to defeat Yangquan and Luoshan and fight all the way to the finals~"

"What a pity, Atsushi Murasakibara. That was a monster stronger than Yukimiya Kazuma. Here's another piece of information for you: in the Akita finals, the score between Yosen and their opponent..."

"It was 8:0~"

"You heard right, it was 8 to..."

However, as Imayoshi Shoichi reached this point, he suddenly realized that the people from Izumigun, including the substitutes and former starting lineup, all wore the same expression: strangely calm.

There was no surprise or Grave look as he had imagined.

Even...

Long Tian Zhang, who had first taken the match schedule and widened his eyes in shock, was not shocked by Izumigun's opponent, but by their own team, Tōō.

"What the..."

"Your Tōō team really has good luck."

"So it seems your opponents in the same district are only the defeated Seirin and the weakest of the Generation of Miracles, Kise Ryōta? Damn..."

"You've been guaranteed a spot in the finals!"

"That guy Yukimiya actually predicted it!?"

"So Tōō really is the runner-up?"

Imayoshi Shoichi: "!?!"

These guys...

What do they mean?!
