Chapter 25

"This is your talent, Kuroko."

"I believe your presence isn't a joke played by God."

"Go and explore its highlights, find it, and you can become an outstanding player."

After saying that, Tendo Keiyan flicked his finger and tossed the ball to his other hand.

Kuroko's gaze also followed the basketball to Tendo Keiyan's left hand.

At this time, his brain was already thinking crazily, thinking about that possibility.

When he looked back, he saw Tendo Keiyan's other hand already spread out with five fingers, blocking in front of him.

"Understand? Players are creatures that chase after the basketball."

"And you, you are like an arm that no one will notice!"

In an instant, the black pupils suddenly dilated slightly.

He had finally grasped that flash of inspiration.

"I think I know what to do now." Kuroko was incredibly excited, and the gloom that had accumulated over many days dissipated all at once. "Arigato, Tiandao-kun!"

"What do you understand now?" Tennen Riko said while munching on her meal, teasing him. "After practicing for so long, isn't Kuroko still a weakling who can't even hit a layup under the basket?"

Pfft.

Kuroko was struck by another arrow in his chest.

Why could this 35-degree mouth always say such icy words?

But it didn't matter; Kuroko had already found his own path, and now he was full of anticipation for the future.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Tiandao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan say:

"Shut up, Riko."

"As the strong, we should give more encouragement to the weak."

Pfft...

Kuroko’s heart was so tired. Why did this man and woman never repeat what they said, yet every word was so hurtful?

'I'm truly defeated!'

'I can see it now, Riko is an invincible finisher!'

'Hahahaha, every time she opens her mouth, Kuroko gets shut down.'

'This is the real "husband protector," right? Tiandao is often scared out of his wits by Kuroko, but Riko can turn Kuroko to stone every single time.'

'Ah, the sour smell of love!'

The real world.

Another week passed, and Fan Shi opened his livestream again to watch the show with the audience.

"Hello, good evening to the family in the livestream."

"Today, let's continue watching this prequel to Kuroko's Basketball, The Generation of Miracles."

"But this show is quite unique; it's airing the prequel before the main story."

After a brief complaint, he quickly clicked on his favorites list.

Seeing the eye-catching "NEW" in his collection, he clicked in without hesitation.

Since the second episode had already finished airing, he could drag the progress bar.

Of course, he usually wouldn't do that; he even listened to the entire opening theme.

The second episode began by playing back clips from the previous episode for the audience.

It mainly focused on the outstanding performance of Tiandao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan, Akashi, and the other main characters during the club entrance tests.

"I think I understand what 'Generation of Miracles' means now."

"It probably refers to the story of Kuroko and these geniuses."

Most of the audience agreed with his point of view.

After all, the production team focused heavily on these characters in the first episode.

But what about Kuroko, who appeared so much?

Is he going to be the sixth man?

It wasn't that he was suspicious; this was his job, so he definitely had to analyze the plot for the audience.

That was the only way to appear professional!

The plot continued.

The scene shifted back to the Teiko Basketball Club.

It started with that laughable scene.

Tiandao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan and Aomine were penalized for slacking off during their warm-up run.

As a result, after those two idiots finished their penalty, Kuroko hadn't even finished the full warm-up run.

Even more pitifully, his weak presence meant that no one even noticed he hadn't finished the warm-up.

At this moment, Tiandao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan and Aomine were chatting on the sidelines.

Kuroko walked past them.

Tiandao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan suddenly shuddered and asked, "Did something just float by?"

Seeing this, Fan Shi laughed on the spot.

The game hadn't started yet, and Kuroko hadn't developed his ability either.

The overall plot was currently quite flat, or as the saying goes, it lacked a "hook."

The audience's current enthusiasm for the show was just watching Tiandao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan, the comedian, act out.

His sharp, sarcastic remarks had become the most prominent feature of the show so far.

'Hey, I noticed that among the people at Teiko, only Tiandao seems to be able to notice Kuroko.'

'You just noticed? I noticed a long time ago; Tiandao can always notice Kuroko.'

'True love!'

'The guy above, tone down the gay vibes, don't affect your dad trying to take a dump. Do you know how painful it is when it gets stuck?'

'Damn, you're stuck, so why do you have to say it out loud?'

'Maybe his dynamic vision is just better; after all, Tiandao's steal stat is maxed out.'

Fan Shi ignored the goofy comments and just looked at the last one, nodding to himself.

Although it hadn't truly unfolded yet, the show already had signs of not being a normal sports anime.

These details were more like foreshadowing.

Fan Shi guessed quite a bit, but he still couldn't guess that this was a superpower basketball show.

So when Aomine and the others' talents were revealed, Fan Shi's expression at the time was the same as the audience's—he could have fit a duck egg in his mouth.

Of course, that was a story for later.

The plot continued.

The three practice matches were all conducted from Kuroko's perspective, without detailed descriptions.

Only the consistently strong stats of Tiandao and the others and the lopsided scores proved Teiko's dominance.

Perhaps the production team also knew the current plot lacked a hook, so they magically introduced Tiandao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan's daily life.

For example, the scene where he watched a TV drama with Tennen Riko in his apartment at night.

Tennen Riko was crying her eyes out.

Tiandao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan looked like he was suffering through torture.

Watching their interaction, the audience couldn't help but laugh.

'Hahahaha, it looks exactly like my boyfriend's expression when he watches TV dramas with me.'

'The cat is so cute, hee hee!'

'Tennen: Why aren't you crying? Tiandao: It's a TV drama. Tennen: It's based on a true story! Tiandao: ....... So funny!'

'Sure enough, boys who love sports can't escape the "straight guy" law.'

'Really? I love playing basketball too. Does this mean I = straight guy = Tiandao = I'm also a handsome guy with off-the-charts talent?'

'Wonderful, me too!'

'You shut-ins are disgusting, don't tarnish the cat's image in my heart!'
