Teikou High School, known as a powerhouse in basketball, consistently ranked high in previous years.
With this ranking, they were exempt from the qualification and preliminary rounds.
They directly advanced to the Eastern Region semi-finals!
Followed by the finals!
The two strongest teams in the Eastern Region would enter the final competition.
There are four major regions, with eight teams vying for the final championship!
In the basketball club, Hibari Shuuzo was introducing the national tournament process to Genyu Hisora and the others, when a phone rang.
“Hello! I'm busy right now!... What! I'll be right there!”
Hibari Shuuzo took a call and left immediately.
Momoi Satsuki took over his duties and continued the introduction.
At the Tokyo Metropolitan Hospital, Hibari Shuuzo walked into the ward and saw his father lying in bed.
“Dad! Are you okay!”
“Haha! Shuuzo’s here! I’m fine! I’m not going to die!”
Hibari Shuuzo's father seemed relaxed, as if he wasn’t the one who was sick.
Hibari Shuuzo's mother spoke from the side:
“Shuuzo! The doctor said that this type of cancer cannot be fully cured in the current Japanese islands, and recommended that we go to America for treatment, but we need to do it quickly, otherwise it's not good!”
“Then let’s go to America, treatment is most important!”
Hibari Shuuzo immediately said.
“Shuuzo! I know the national tournament is about to start, and you’ve always dreamed of winning a national tournament championship. This is your third year, and I don’t want to hold you back! So, I can wait for you, or we can go first, and you can come later!”
Hibari Shuuzo shook his head upon hearing his father's words.
“No! I’m going with you! Basketball is just for fun! I don’t care!”
Not long after, Hibari Shuuzo left the ward.
Walking out of the hospital, he looked up at the sky.
He had finally seen hope, but fate had arranged such an unexpected turn of events.
This championship was destined to be out of reach for him!
Hibari Shuuzo felt a pang of bitterness in his heart and laughed self-deprecatingly.
He wasn’t as calm or indifferent as he seemed.
Teikou basketball club, in the office of Shirokane Kozo.
Hibari Shuuzo explained his situation.
Shirokane Kozo, after hearing this, had no reason to refuse.
“Such a thing is something no one wants to see happen, but since it has happened, we have to face it positively! Do you have anyone in mind for the basketball club captain, the first team's starting captain?”
Hearing Shirokane Kozo ask for his opinion, Hibari Shuuzo immediately thought of that person.
The man who made Haizaki Shogo tremble in fear!
“Genyu Hisora is good, he can suppress everyone! He should be able to manage the basketball club well!”
“Akashi Seijuro is also good, he’s steady and has enough control over things, he’s a great choice as well!”
Hibari Shuuzo gave two answers.
One is strength!
The other is ability!
Hibari Shuuzo didn’t stay long. After making arrangements, he left.
Quietly, without alarming anyone.
Genyu Hisora and Akashi Seijuro were called to Shirokane Kozo's office.
“Hibari has something to attend to and needs to leave for a while. Before he left, he asked me to recommend you two. Who do you think is more suitable for the position of basketball club captain?”
Genyu Hisora immediately pointed at Akashi Seijuro upon hearing this.
“Akashi! He’s more suitable!”
Akashi Seijuro was startled by the gesture, what was this guy doing.
Genyu Hisora, thinking about how Hibari Shuuzo had been busy like a dog every day, didn’t want to be the basketball club captain at all.
Shirokane Kozo turned to Akashi Seijuro.
“Akashi, what do you think?”
Akashi Seijuro also pointed at Genyu Hisora.
“Coach, I think Genyu is more suitable, first of all, we all listen to him, and his strength is also very strong, everyone also believes in him!”
Genyu Hisora looked at Akashi Seijuro, who was spouting blatant lies, his eyes rolled to the sky.
Let's not talk about anything else, who obeys who among us? Who doesn’t disobey each other on the court!
Shirokane Kozo had never thought that the captain of his basketball club would be so disliked one day.
Before, it was a competitive mode, everyone actively signed up and campaigned, afraid that they wouldn't be elected.
Now, it’s good. The position is right there, and they’re all pushing it away!
“Okay! Akashi said more, Akashi said it makes sense, then Genyu, you be the basketball club captain! Akashi be the vice captain!”
With a simple sentence, an important position was decided.
Genyu Hisora was stunned.
Damn it!
If I’m the captain, what about Akashi Seijuro!
Things seem a bit out of control!
“Coach, do you want to reconsider! Akashi is really more suitable than me!”
“No need! That’s settled! Manage the basketball club well, or I’ll settle the score with you!”
Shirokane Kozo finished speaking and waved his hand, gesturing for them to leave like flies.
Akashi Seijuro immediately slipped away, afraid that Shirokane Kozo would change his mind.
Since Genyu Hisora didn’t want to be captain, it means something bad must be happening.
This guy always takes advantage and doesn’t suffer any losses, what he doesn’t do, we don’t do either!
Maybe this guy is going to do something crazy!
It can only be said that Akashi Seijuro was a little too wary of Genyu Hisora.
Genyu Hisora came out with a sullen look on his face.
He saw Akashi Seijuro’s back and his eyes lit up.
Isn’t the vice captain lower than the captain?
Then shouldn’t he listen to the captain?
Thinking about this, Genyu Hisora sneered.
Akashi Seijuro felt a chill down his spine, he turned his head and saw Genyu Hisora’s smile, and instantly felt a sense of dread.
As expected!
He’s not a good person!
If Genyu Hisora knew what was in his heart, he would definitely say you can remove the word "good" from that statement!
