Chapter 92
Because it was the time of the national tournament, their topic soon turned to basketball.
Riko paid attention to every one of Tendou's games and also discovered Aomine's heroic state recently.
This made Riko a little worried.
She knew Tendou's goal: to become the strongest among everyone and win enough popularity to become the popularity king.
Right now, Aomine had overshadowed everyone's limelight, even Tendou's radiance.
Recently, fans at school started discussing whether Aomine was more suitable to be the team's ace than Tendou.
His playing style was too gorgeous; it was street basketball with the most viewing value.
Anyone who had seen Aomine's game would find it hard not to be attracted by his style.
Even Riko, who faced Tendou every day, couldn't help but sigh, "That kid is strong like a monster."
Thinking of this, she made a decision.
"Let's act, Keigen."
At this moment, she especially wanted to do something for Tendou.
"Huh?"
"Acting, I'm a gold-medal green leaf!"
"The prop is called a gold-medal green leaf; you're not, you're at most a vase."
Tendou complained mercilessly.
Besides being beautiful, she had no acting skills. Can you act?
"You are really abominable. I'm your girlfriend after all. Treat me differently, let me feel that I'm different from others!"
"Stop worrying. Aomine is still a long way from winning against me."
Tendou put down the lunch box and closed his eyes slightly under Riko's gaze.
The next second, his consciousness came to another space, to a door.
It was the realm of Zone.
Tendou in the world of consciousness didn't say much and stepped forward.
Feeling his arrival, the door of Zone "boomed," and without setting any obstacles for him, it slowly opened.
When Tendou opened his eyes, a silver-white cold electricity bloomed from his eyes.
Riko saw it, and goosebumps all over her body popped up, as if she had been electrocuted.
"What... is this..."
Without any reason, Riko just felt that Tendou at this moment had become so strong, stronger than anyone else.
The aura, which was already outrageous, surged again, making it hard to breathe.
"Zone!" Tendou's tone cooled down a bit.
Afterward, he introduced the state of Zone and the difficulty of entering Zone to Riko.
"But didn't you just close your eyes and enter?"
"Well, I was quite surprised by this too."
Tendou first felt the realm of Zone when his overall stats broke through 90 points.
He didn't blindly pursue it; he knew Zone was a tsundere guy. The more you want it, the less likely it is to give it to you.
The reason lies in the trigger to enter the door, which is particularly insane.
Entering the Zone realm requires three conditions.
First, maintain a love for basketball.
Second, unquestionable talent.
Third, the trigger for entry.
Of these three, the third is the hardest to complete.
Aomine's entry trigger is a worthy opponent. His trigger seems easier to find because Aomine can enter Zone anytime, anywhere if he can't win.
However, looking at the whole Kuroko no Basket, only his teammates from the Generation of Miracles can help him meet the entry conditions.
Murasakibara's entry trigger is to realize his own heart. He, who is always lazy and doesn't want to train, needs to admit in his heart that he likes playing ball and possesses passionate fighting spirit to enter the Zone realm.
Imagine one day you are woken up by an alarm clock, and instead of turning off the phone or alarm clock to continue sleeping, you go to work or school with great enthusiasm. What does that feel like?
Completely unimaginable.
What about Akashi's entry condition?
It's even more cruel than Murasakibara's; it requires abandoning all teammates and fighting alone.
And Akashi is a player who attaches great importance to companions. His childhood experiences made him crave friendship more than anyone else.
If he hadn't split into a second personality, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so simple to find his trigger.
"Then what about you? What is your trigger, Keigen?"
"My trigger?"
Fourth update. Rest for a while, and I'll add more for everyone tonight!
Aomine's problem attracted the attention of the entire basketball club.
Shirogane Goro had to find Aomine and have a talk with him.
It was mainly Shirogane Goro talking and Aomine Daiki listening.
"Sorry, Aomine."
"Huh?"
Aomine, who was lost in confusion, raised his head and looked at his team's coach in doubt.
"I noticed your problem a long time ago, but I was still looking forward to your possibilities."
"At this point, I don't want to tell you that it's still in time to correct it now."
"However, only by not giving up can we create more possibilities..."
This talk wasn't long, and Aomine didn't have a sudden enlightenment.
However, the basketball club could barely function normally.
However.
Before Aomine's problem was solved, another problem followed.
Amanai Riko was sick.
She got a disease called spinocerebellar degeneration.
In the end, she still wanted to do something for Tendou in this last period of time.
She took the initiative to ask the short-tailed cat to get this incurable disease for her.
That was the first TV series she and Tendou watched, which led to the death of the heroine, Ikeuchi Aya.
By the time Tendou knew about this, the short-tailed cat had already injected the disease into her body.
"Didn't I say don't worry? I have a way to harvest the popularity value of that wave of tool people."
"I just want to help you."
She couldn't act, so she chose to play for real.
"And this also has a benefit: you need to take care of me every day."
She didn't have any change in her complexion because of the illness; she was still as lively and cheerful as before.
"If you do this, you won't even last half."
"I don't care anymore. What's important is not time. I don't want to end up not being able to help you at all."
She was someone who had died once; no pain was enough to make her fear.
She just wanted to do something for Tendou Keigen, the only man she had liked in both lives, in her final moments.
"What? Little Riko is sick?"
"Yes, it's said to be spinocerebellar degeneration."
"Can it be cured? Why not go to the US? The medical level there is more developed."
Everyone in the basketball club was very concerned about her.
Kise suggested taking her to the US for treatment immediately.
Nijimura Shuzo shook his head at him, because it was an incurable disease.
"How could this be..."
