“Black Charcoal Head!”
“Violent Psycho!”
Shigehiro Kinoshita arrived with Shūzō Himuro, watching the two bicker and chuckled.
“Look, how nice! Youth is good, always so passionate!”
Shūzō Himuro smacked his forehead.
Damn it!
These two will probably be trained to death in the future!
Everyone else will suffer too!
Gen Hanyu and Daiki Aomine, seeing someone coming, finally stopped.
After a lot of arguing, it seems they didn’t gain anything, but they both got a new nickname.
Shigehiro Kinoshita saw them stop and looked at the others.
“Everyone performed well in today’s tryouts. Teiko Middle School Basketball Club welcomes everyone to join. Choosing the Basketball Club will not disappoint you!”
“As a basketball powerhouse, I hope everyone can take pride in being a member of the Basketball Club!”
“As a player, I hope that in the future, Teiko Middle School Basketball Club can be proud of once having you!”
These simple words ignited the passionate young men present.
Who doesn't want to be the strongest!
If you can make Teiko proud of you, what a great honor it would be!
“We will! I will become Teiko’s glory!”
“I’m going to reach the peak step by step, step by step, and dominate the court!”
“The world is still uncertain, we are all dark horses! Who can decide my future!”
“The old man is so kind, so gentle, I like him!”
“I’ve met coaches from other schools too, they always have a straight face, like you owe them money!”
“It’s a good thing I chose Teiko. The coach keeps a smile, the learning atmosphere will be much better, right?!”
Shūzō Himuro and the others couldn’t help but twitch at the voices from below.
Coach Kinoshita used to say the same thing, without even changing the words. But the effect seems to be the same every year!
And those who say Coach Kinoshita is kind, you will soon change your mind!
He’s a demon king who won’t stop until he trains you to your limit!
Shigehiro Kinoshita said a few words, looked at the new students’ reaction and nodded in satisfaction. Then he glanced at Shūzō Himuro next to him.
Shūzō Himuro immediately understood.
The boss’s opening speech is over, it’s his turn to take care of the small matters.
“Classmates, based on your performance, I will now announce the list of those entering each team, starting with the third team list!”
“Hiroshi Kibe!”
“Keiyo Mitsui!”
“Tarō Kameda!”
“...”
Those who were called out instantly felt a little dejected.
Some even clenched their fists, feeling a little unwilling!
“I didn’t even make it to the second team! Damn it!”
“Could there be a mistake! My skills are still good. I’m the man who plays basketball in overalls!”
“Oh my god! Please bless me, Kobe-sama! Amitabha, God is not a girl, please don’t have my name!”
“Just hurry up and end this! I’m so nervous!”
“Leave! Leave! Leave!”
Those who were called and those who were not called were all muttering quietly.
Shūzō Himuro continued to read on.
“...”
“Tetsuya Kuroko!”
“These are the people who made it to the third team!”
After the last name was announced, those who hadn't been called breathed a sigh of relief.
In the crowd, Tetsuya Kuroko couldn’t hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Although he had expected this result, it still felt a little uncomfortable.
“Being on the third team means I can’t represent the school in the national tournament. It’s a promise I’ve made! How can I break it! How can I! Since that’s the case, I’ll continue to work hard, make it to the second team soon, and then the first team!”
Tetsuya Kuroko closed his eyes and calmed down. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were full of determination!
Some are happy, some are sad!
Unlike the disappointment of making the third team.
“Hahaha! I made it! I made it!”
“To enter the second team right away, that means I’m a promising player!”
“Yes! Goal achieved!”
“The second team is just the beginning, the first team is my real goal!”
“If Dad knew I made the Teiko second team, he would definitely buy me a limited edition pair of shoes!”
Shūzō Himuro didn’t try to change the slightly chaotic environment below.
Everyone has been through this, right!
Besides, this scene is probably what Coach Kinoshita likes to see the most.
Young! Energetic!
Shūzō Himuro thought about it and looked at Shigehiro Kinoshita with his peripheral vision.
Shigehiro Kinoshita was smiling even more kindly, the light in his eyes was very dazzling.
Suddenly the atmosphere changed, a little white Shigehiro Kinoshita floated on Shigehiro Kinoshita’s shoulder.
“So... so young! So energetic! Ah! There’s something to do again! Awesome!”
Shūzō Himuro shuddered and continued to announce the second team list.
“Next is the list of those entering the second team!”
“Rōsei Tano!”
“Eizen Rōjō!”
“Ai’na Yanagishita!”
“...”
“These are the people who made it to the second team!”
After hearing Shūzō Himuro announce the second team list, some people were immersed in excitement.
Some discovered that several names were missing!
Those who performed the strongest!
Their names didn’t appear on the second team list!
This... this is impossible!
The scene gradually quieted down.
Even those who seemed very excited realized something was wrong.
Everyone’s eyes turned to those few boys.
