Chapter 401

Haizaki realized it, because the basketball was slamming toward his face at super-high speed.

"Boom!"

His ferocious expression took a heavy hit; Akashi took a simple glance before regaining control of the ball and charging into the paint to score.

"This is a warning, Haizaki!"

"It's the first time, and it's the last time!"

The response from the chuunibyou Young Master came swiftly and fiercely.

If Haizaki still didn't know what was good for him, no one would doubt for a second that Akashi would continue to teach him a lesson.

So the question arises: is Haizaki the type of guy who would obediently listen?

Of course not.

So when the second quarter ended, he was already beaten black and blue by Akashi.

"How come he looks like he had a fight with Ip Man?"

The bad boy of Josei High sincerely admired Haizaki.

It was a real pity that such a high-quality talent didn't come to their Josei High.

Akashi walked into the player tunnel with an expressionless face.

The Teikou vice-captain's debut made people feel the tyranny deep in his bones.

As for Haizaki?

He simply didn't play in the second half; he couldn't win even if he did.

After returning to the locker room, this guy packed his things and left.

He first ran to a nearby sports shop to buy a baseball bat, then returned to the arena and laid an ambush on the path Rakuzan had to take.

Haizaki, who couldn't win at basketball, planned to physically "send" Akashi to the afterlife.

Yet at this moment, a strong light flashed, nearly blinding Haizaki's dog eyes.

"Injuring the sole heir of the Akashi conglomerate has very serious consequences."

Haizaki covered his eyes, and only when the light faded did he see the person clearly.

"Tiandao? Are you here to stop me?"

Haizaki didn't care about any Young Master or whatever; he was determined to take Akashi down today, and even Jesus couldn't stop him—that's what he said!

"Of course not. Although I'm used to solving basketball court matters with basketball, I'm not so idle that I'd manage other people's business." Tiandao sat on his motorcycle and threw a box at Haizaki. "Catch, this is a gift from me to you."

Haizaki caught it, opened it, and found a pair of brand-new basketball shoes and a Josei High jersey inside.

"Compared to a baseball bat, you are more suited for these things."

"But you can't win against Akashi as you are. Come follow me, and I'll take you to admire the scenery at the mountain peak."

"You don't actually hate playing ball that much, right?"

Hate playing ball?

Haizaki himself didn't quite understand this question.

In any case, he would absolutely not be like Aomine, Midorima, or especially that loser Kise.

But to say he truly hated it, he couldn't say that either.

But this didn't stop him from refuting, yet he was interrupted by Tiandao before he could speak.

"Don't deny it. If you really just wanted revenge, wouldn't it be easier to just go to Rakuzan and block Akashi? Why go through all that trouble to fight your way from the preliminaries to the National Tournament?"

"Admit it, Haizaki, deep down you still want to play ball."

"Don't act like you know me so well." Haizaki scoffed and put the things aside.

He didn't throw them away directly, which proved there was still a chance.

Tiandao felt that Haizaki was just one step away from nodding.

So Tiandao gave him that step.

He got off the bike and clenched his fists. "Dithering like a sissy, not decisive at all."

"Let's have a match, Haizaki. If you lose, you come with me to Josei High."

A fight?

Haizaki was currently filled with a belly full of fire anyway.

"And if you lose?"

"I won't lose. I am the strongest."

"The strongest..."

Haizaki sneered, threw away the baseball bat, and immediately turned to throw a punch.

Little did he know, Tiandao was faster than him and had been guarding against this sneak attack all along.

Tiandao reached out his hand in advance, his five fingers clamping onto Haizaki's entire face.

Just like that day at the Teikou Basketball Club, Haizaki was once again heavily pressed to the ground by Tiandao, and this time it was concrete.

Poor Haizaki, having just been beaten black and blue by Akashi on the court, was now injured on top of injuries; his nose was even smashed crooked.

After an unknown amount of time, Haizaki lay flat on the ground, looking up at the moon.

Tiandao clapped his hands and got back on his ride. "Then it's settled. Transfer to Josei High tomorrow."

This was the best opportunity to subdue Haizaki. After being beaten into such a state by Akashi, he would have no face to be arrogant with him after arriving at the basketball club; he would have to be obedient.

"Vroom~"

As the motorcycle roared, Tiandao drove away, with no intention of giving Haizaki a ride.

His ride was allergic to men other than himself.

It took a while for Haizaki to crawl up, spit out a mouthful of blood, open the gift Tiandao gave him, and pick up the shoes.

Size 41.

"This idiot, how could I possibly wear size 41 shoes."

Haizaki packed the things into his backpack and grimaced as he headed to the hospital.

"It hurts like hell, that bastard!" ===== CHAPTER 403 =====
