Chapter 388: Akashi Visits

The match was over.

Kirisaki Daiichi advanced to the top 8 as the number one seed from Kanagawa.

Takeuchi Genta didn't say a word; he simply shook hands with Tiandao and 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, Kasamatsu Yukio called his teammates away first, leaving himself alone in the room.

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

Stripped of his role as team captain, he was just a player who desperately craved 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 his own 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 few sips before saying,

"Long time no see, Akashi."

The captain and vice-captain of Teikou 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 Daiichi, but it does fit your style."

What is Tiandao's style?

He's capable of doing anything!

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.

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

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

"It didn't surprise me at all that you chose Rakuzan."

"Strong joining strong is the norm in this world. Just like companies often marry into alliances 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."

Truly you, the good eldest son of the Akashi family.

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

"I want 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 evolution has surpassed his physical evolution."

"It's fine when playing against other teams; we will achieve total victory. But once there is a civil war, Ryota's situation will happen again."

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

This was even the result of Akashi restraining himself. 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.

Referencing 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 mentioned 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 see each other on the court."

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

That was a questioning of his own ability.

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

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

Otherwise, with his talent, he, Akashi, was the only choice for basketball club captain. ===== CHAPTER 390 =====
