Chapter 233: Choice

The junior high era was over.

Tiandao had spent three years in this world without realizing it.

Many nights, he would complain that time passed too slowly.

And yet, three years had passed just like that?

It had only been 24 episodes since the prequel finished; sure enough, complex things like dimensions were something he couldn't understand.

This day.

He came to the coffee shop; although he had long since resigned, he would still habitually come back to take a look.

But he wasn't here to drink coffee today; he was here to avoid those troublesome high school head coaches.

After the National Tournament ended, the threshold of the Teikou basketball club had been flattened.

Every day, an endless stream of high school basketball club head coaches would rush in from all over the country.

The target, of course, was Teikou's Generation of Miracles.

Their unparalleled talent was worth a personal visit from any prestigious coach.

Now, a saying had spread in the basketball world: whoever can get the Generation of Miracles is equivalent to getting the chance to win the high school basketball championship for the next three years.

Getting the Generation of Miracles is equivalent to getting the key to the championship.

Fans had never seen such powerful junior high students, and they believed that when they reached high school, they would continue to maintain their dominance.

As the leader of the Generation of Miracles, the demon star of Teikou, and the ace of Teikou.

Tiandao was absolutely the most popular one.

Those head coaches blocking the basketball club wasn't enough; later, they even wanted to block his doorstep.

It annoyed him so much that he could only run to the coffee shop.

"You're really popular, little Tiandao." The landlady learned about his situation and couldn't help but tease him.

Treating him like her own was a bit of an exaggeration, but the landlady was truly better to Tiandao than to her own younger brother, inviting Tiandao to her home for dinner from time to time.

He had seen with his own eyes the landlady putting chicken legs in Tiandao's bowl every time they ate, while putting chicken butts in her brother's.

Over time, Tiandao had become familiar with her whole family.

"If it were a pretty girl, I could barely accept it, but if it's a group of forty or fifty-year-old bosses, I can only say, 'Dame!'"

Thinking of the expressions of those forty or fifty-year-old old men looking at him as if they were seeing a young maiden, Tiandao felt a chill.

"Giggle..." The landlady was amused by his expression, but couldn't help asking, "What about you? Where have you decided to play basketball in high school? Will you stay in Tokyo?"

"I'll probably stay in the Tokyo region."

The Tokyo region is where the protagonist team, Seirin, is located; playing basketball here would mean more screen time.

"Staying in Tokyo is fine, I can still take care of you a bit."

"What about the team? There are already many teams in Tokyo; have you chosen one?"

"Shutoku? Touou? Senjinkan? Seiho?"

The landlady was also an experienced person; with the National Tournament having developed for so long, she naturally knew how many prestigious schools were in the Tokyo region.

"None of them are in my consideration."

Shutoku had already reached a consensus with Midorima, and Aomine had also been persuaded by Harasawa Katsunori to join Touou.

The remaining two kings, Senjinkan and Seiho.

Had no competitiveness at all.

Although Seiho had a Tsugawa Tomoki, who was said to have Generation of Miracles-level defense, in reality, it was very watered down.

He couldn't even defend against an unawakened Kagami Taiga, and could only bully a Kise who hadn't developed yet.

Senjinkan was even less worth considering; it was glossed over in the animation, and there wasn't a single fierce person.

In the animation, the only teams in the Tokyo region with real competitiveness were Shutoku, Touou, and Seirin.

"Then why do you still choose to stay in the Tokyo region? Isn't that a big loss? Your monster teammates all chose prestigious schools, right?"

"It's not that there's no choice at all." Tiandao kept her in suspense.

Besides Shutoku, Touou, and Seirin, the Tokyo region had another team with strong strength.

Kirisaki Daichi!

In the situation where Kagami hadn't "hacked," even with Kuroko's help, the full-strength Seirin only narrowly won against Kirisaki Daichi 76:70.

Their ace, Hanamiya Makoto, was one of the Uncrowned Kings, liked playing violent basketball, and his defensive moves were incredibly dirty.

But setting aside the injurious minor actions, these people's levels were all on the line, at least not losing to Shutoku's starters.

The premise was that he could subdue Hanamiya Makoto and the others; the members of Kirisaki Daichi were all bad boys.

Thinking about things, the phone on the table rang.

It was a text message.

"Work stuff?"

"No, it's a text message from a teammate."

Tiandao replied casually and continued to chat with the landlady in the coffee shop.

At the same time.

On the other side, the Teikou basketball club.

At this time, the basketball club had suspended activities, and the third-year farewell ceremony had been held a few days ago.

According to custom, third-year members who left the club wouldn't appear in the basketball club much, as they had to prepare for entrance exams.

However, Akashi gathered everyone together.

They weren't all there; Tiandao was missing.

"Where's that guy Tiandao?"

"He said he had very important things to deal with and wouldn't come."

"What important things to deal with; he must be hiding somewhere blowing the air conditioning."

"Then Akashi, why did you summon us here?"

"Nothing special, just wanted to see everyone one last time during this final period of junior high."

These days, members of the Generation of Miracles had each been in contact with high school basketball head coaches.

Akashi had basically determined their destinations.

Midorima chose the king of the Tokyo region, Shutoku.

Aomine also chose to stay in the Tokyo region, joining Touou, known as the new rising force.

Murasakibara, Kise, and himself had all left the Tokyo region.

Murasakibara went to Akita Prefecture, joining Yosen High School, famous nationwide for its defense.

Kise went to Shennaichuan County, choosing to become a member of the Shennaichuan hegemon, Kaijo High School.

And Akashi himself, without suspense, chose the hegemon Rakuzan, determined to defeat all his teammates to prove his own value.

The only ones who hadn't determined their teams were Tiandao and Kuroko.

Kuroko was ignored by Akashi; in his heart, Kuroko's basketball couldn't win against people. ===== CHAPTER 235 =====
