Chapter 18
The Sound of Abacus Beads Clattering!

Seijūrō Akashi’s eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over.

He shouted as he ran.

“Tetsuya, right? I’ve studied a little bit of pharmacology, let me take a look and see if there’s anything wrong!”

Hyūga Hifumi glanced back at Seijūrō Akashi’s excited expression, and knew exactly what this guy was up to!

Soon, the two of them helped Tetsuya Kuroko sit down on a bench.

Tetsuya Kuroko was a little taken aback.

He wanted to say that he was fine and just needed a rest, but seeing Seijūrō Akashi’s serious expression, he swallowed the words back down.

The others continued to run.

Soon, another lap!

Shūzō Himura ran over and told the others to continue, while he headed towards Hyūga Hifumi and the others.

“Is Tetsuya okay now?”

Tetsuya Kuroko immediately stood up.

“Senpai! I’m good now! I can keep running!”

Seeing that Tetsuya Kuroko was about to continue his efforts, the stumbling blocks wouldn’t allow it.

“No! You’ve only just recovered a little bit of your energy, how can you force yourself?”

“Yeah! Patients usually say they’re not sick! Captain Himura absolutely can’t let him continue! It’ll be a huge problem if something happens!”

Hyūga Hifumi and Seijūrō Akashi actually had surprisingly similar attitudes!

“Alright then! Tetsuya, you continue resting, you two keep training!”

Hearing Shūzō Himura say that, Hyūga Hifumi immediately retorted:

“No! How can I let Tetsuya stay here alone, you gotta see things through, I’m going to stay with him until he’s well before I can rest assured! You can just let Akashi go with you!”

Seijūrō Akashi turned his head sharply towards Hyūga Hifumi.

This guy, you were just cooperating a second ago, how can you turn around and sell me out like this!

As expected of you!

“Captain Himura, I’m a little bit into pharmacology, I’ll take care of Tetsuya, let Hyūga continue training!”

The boat of friendship is built together.

The boat of friendship is overturned together!

Come on!

Go crazy!

Let's go mad together! (Dian Wei roars)

If it was the beginning, Shūzō Himura wouldn’t have noticed anything, he would just think that these two guys are pretty good.

Now that they’re all good, you’re still acting like this.

My abacus beads are almost falling off my face, okay!

“Let me tell you a secret, Coach Kise loves it when students who still have energy slack off, that way he can have an excuse to continue making you practice! There was once someone who was punished with ten times the amount of training!”

Shūzō Himura said this, suddenly bending down and lowering his voice.

“Don’t think he’s really gone, he’s definitely hiding in a corner somewhere, secretly watching everything!”

On the second floor, behind a pillar, Kise Kōzō bent over, carefully watching what was happening below.

Seeing Hyūga Hifumi and Seijūrō Akashi follow Shūzō Himura back to running laps, he sighed softly.

“Ah! Himura really is, you have to give the youngsters a chance, how can you influence other people's freedom?”

On the field, most of them had finished thirty laps.

Some were completely exhausted and couldn't keep up.

In this situation, Shūzō Himura was also keeping an eye on things, and he didn't force everyone to finish.

The previous physical foundation test had already given him some information.

After running, some were holding their knees and breathing heavily.

Some lay flat on their backs on the ground, ignoring anyone shouting things like “You can’t lie down after you finish running”.

Only Atsushi Murasakibara, Shintarō Midorima, and Seijūrō Akashi were a little out of breath.

Hyūga Hifumi and Daiki Aomine were much better in comparison.

“Damn, you’re a freak!”

“These two guys seem to have done a lot of practice!”

“The slow bird flies first! I guess I’ll have to train more from now on, even if I don’t have the talent, I can’t lose out in this area!”

“Heh! Slow bird flies first? If you could really fly first, then you wouldn’t be a slow bird!”

Kise Kōzō said that today’s training was just that much, and there was no extra practice.

Hyūga Hifumi and the others left the basketball club.

The five people who entered the first team automatically became a small group, plus one Momoi Satsuki.

“OK! It seems like we don’t have anything else to do, why don’t we go out to eat together and celebrate that fate has brought us all into the first team!”

Hearing Hyūga Hifumi’s suggestion, Atsushi Murasakibara’s lazy eyes lit up.

“Yeah! Yeah! Where are we going, Hyūga?”

“Hmm...let’s go to the Anshokuya owned by Akashi’s family! Just use your face!”

Hyūga Hifumi said this as he looked at Seijūrō Akashi.

That means you don’t mind, right?

Seijūrō Akashi smiled warmly, returning to his usual demeanor.

With Hyūga Hifumi’s status, even if someone invited him, he probably wouldn’t be able to go, now he’s taking the initiative to invite him out to eat, paying for it and all, naturally it’s not even worth mentioning.

The most important thing is to build a closer relationship between each other.

For the heir of a chaebol, this is very precious, very rare!

There might not be another chance to experience this kind of pure friendship.

“Of course, Anshokuya is honored to host you all!”

“Alright! Let’s go!”

Hyūga Hifumi walked in front, Atsushi Murasakibara quickly followed.

“Hey! Violent maniac! You haven’t asked for our opinions yet!”

Before Aomine Daiki could finish speaking, they were about to leave, how could this be!

“The minority submits to the majority, consider it your default consent!”

Hearing Hyūga Hifumi say that, Aomine Daiki quickly retorted.

“That’s not right! Me, the green-haired one, and Mayumi! We’re three people, you’re also three people! Did you count wrong?”

Hyūga Hifumi turned his head, a smile on his face.

“You counted wrong, the green-haired one, and Mayumi are two people! Where are the human rights of black women?”

“Damn! You are so!”

Aomine Daiki reacted, yelling and chasing after him.

Hyūga Hifumi laughed loudly and hurried away!

PS:

Shintarō Midorima: You two are a bit disrespectful!

Momoi Satsuki: Ya! Hyūga-kun called me Mayumi! Hmm, why is my face so hot!
