Chapter 183

Don't cry, Kise, mwah!

Why did it have to be Tiandao? This guy is too fierce, worthy of being the director's own son, playing with a script, even predicting that Kise would be injured in advance.

Don't say that; don't look at Tiandao acting cool, but he really did let Kaijo substitute Kise off the court immediately.

He's also a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Hey, the Generation of Miracles guys are all too awkward; they clearly care about everyone, but when they play, they really go for the kill!

Hahahaha, after all, they said they would decide the winner before graduating.

Kuroko, Aomine, Kise—only Midorima, Murasakibara, and Akashi are left; Tiandao is really only three games away from being the strongest.

It might also be two games; how can Midorima win against Tiandao?

What do you mean by that upstairs? Looking down on my Midorima?

The game isn't over yet, but the real-world audience is no longer looking forward to it.

Just based on the combat power shown by the Generation of Miracles, without Kise, Kaijo has no hope of winning at all...

The gap between the Generation of Miracles and other players is like Vegeta and Yamcha, Goku and Mr. Satan!

However, the audience still applauded Kise and Kaijo one after another.

For their efforts, for their moving story.

As far as it goes, Kaijo is definitely the most tenacious team, bar none.

From top to bottom, from beginning to end, not one of them thought about giving up.

And Tiandao, he also had a good harvest in this game, thoroughly consolidating his "Big Demon King" status.

In popularity polls around the world, he dominated the rankings in most regions, only ranking second in a few.

He became a well-deserved popularity king.

On the court.

The monster disappeared from Tiandao.

The Kaijo people couldn't say things like "don't look down on people."

This leader of the Generation of Miracles was still willing to stay on the court to play, which was respectful enough to them.

"Beep~"

With this score, the outcome can be almost certainly determined.

Facing Kirisaki Daiichi, no team in the country can complete a reversal in front of Tiandao.

The game has lost its suspense; Tiandao simply stayed on the bench to rest in the fourth quarter, playing his young commander game again.

However, both sides still displayed a very high level of play.

Kaijo’s fighting spirit remained; not a single person gave up lightly just because they couldn't see any hope of victory, and they struggled until the very last second.

It wasn't until the referee blew the whistle signaling the end of the entire match that Yukio Kasamatsu let out a heavy breath.

He took the lead and walked toward Makoto Hanamiya.

Logically speaking, he should have gone to find Tiandao, but Tiandao was currently shaking hands with his own coach; as a captain, he didn't have the seniority to interrupt, so he could only find Makoto Hanamiya.

The Bad Boy sneered at the gentlemanly conduct Yukio Kasamatsu was displaying; it was clear that losing the game hurt him more than anyone, yet he still had to pretend to be a gentleman and congratulate his opponent.

Are you being insincere or what?

"You really are a hypocritical guy." Makoto Hanamiya reached out with disdain to shake the other's hand. "If it were me who had been beaten like this, I would have taken the ball and left long ago."

"Say whatever you want, congratulations."

Yukio Kasamatsu didn't want to do this at all; when he congratulated Kirisaki Daichi, his heart was bleeding, and he wanted to disappear from the court more than anyone.

But he was the captain of Kaijo!

The match was over.

Kirisaki Daichi, the number one seed from Kanagawa, advanced to the quarterfinals.

Genta Takeuchi didn't say a word; he shook hands briefly with Tiandao and then led his team away from the court.

They looked calm and composed, leaving with their heads held high.

However, when they returned to the locker room, Yukio Kasamatsu sent his teammates away first, remaining in the locker room all by himself.

Looking at the empty locker room, he could no longer control his emotions, burying his head in his hands and weeping.

Once he set aside his role as team captain, he was just a player with an extreme thirst for victory.

This scene naturally drew sympathy from many in the audience.

Tiandao then turned off the screen and looked to the side.

"What wind blew a young master like you here?"

"The weather forecast said it was a southwest wind."

Akashi gave a friendly smile, showing off a bit of his humor. He walked over from a distance and even brought Tiandao a bottle of water.

"I remember you shouldn't like drinking carbonated beverages much."

"It's not that I don't like them, I just don't drink them much for the sake of my body and physique."

Tiandao took the water, unscrewed it, and took a sip before saying.

"Long time no see, Akashi."

The captain and vice-captain of Teiko had come together.

This scene caught the attention of many passersby, who cast their gazes toward the two.

"It has been a while. I didn't think you would choose a team like Kirisaki Daichi, but it does fit your style."

What is Tiandao's style?

Anything is possible for him!

The two found a bench and sat down, catching up like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.

But the aura they radiated was confrontational, making passersby gulp in nervousness.

On one side was Tiandao, who had cut down the Generation of Miracles; on the other was the leader of the high school hegemon, Rakuzan.

With the two of them together, even if they did nothing, just standing there was enough to attract everyone's gaze.

"You choosing Rakuzan didn't surprise me at all."

"The strong joining the strong is the way of the world. Just like between corporations, they often form alliances through marriage for the sake of profit."

"So? Has your future wife been decided?"

"I am the master of my own life; even my parents cannot force me to do anything."

As expected of you, the fine eldest son of the Akashi family.

Tiandao didn't intend to chat with Akashi about him being "absolute." He asked, "Speak up, why did you suddenly come to find me?"

"I'm here to discuss something with you. I intend to have the entire Generation of Miracles withdraw from this year's national tournament."

"You should have noticed that Ryota's injury wasn't an accident; his talent has evolved faster than his body."

"Playing against other teams is fine; we will achieve total victory. But once there is an internal conflict, what happened to Ryota will happen again."

Akashi used the word "discuss," but his tone was very firm.

This was still the result of Akashi showing restraint. If the person he was facing wasn't a member of the Generation of Miracles, wasn't Tiandao.

Akashi would probably have already reached out and pressed the person to their knees.

Refer to Seeing Seeing Kagami, who was stabbed by Akashi with scissors the first time they met.

"I will not withdraw, Akashi."

"Because of the promise with Riko?"

"No."

I have 99% injury resistance; the problem you're talking about simply doesn't exist.

Hearing this, Akashi looked at him with a subtle gaze, but in the end, he didn't continue.

"Since that's the case, then we shall meet on the court."

To this day, he still held a grudge over Kenzou Shirogane's decision back then.

It was a questioning of his own ability.

In Kenzou Shirogane's eyes, he was not as strong as Tiandao.

This was the only reason Akashi could think of for why Tiandao became the Teiko captain.

Otherwise, with his talent, Akashi was the only choice for basketball club captain.
