When he heard that Kuroko Tetsuya wanted to help him, Otosaka Souji was naturally very welcoming and agreed.
"Great! Zhe will let me see how much you've improved in the practice match."
"Yes, I promise I won't let you down, Souji-kun."
Nao Tomori checked the time and called out to Souji Otosaka.
"It's getting late, we should get going."
"Okay, let's go then!"
This basketball practice match between Hoshinokai Academy and Teiko Junior High School was played at Teiko Junior High School.
Therefore, Otosaka Souji, Tomori Nao, and others need to take a car to Teiko Middle School.
………………
Teiko Middle School.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar gates of Teiko Middle School, Otosaka Souji said with great emotion.
"I didn't expect to come back."
Kuroko Tetsuya, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I never thought I'd be able to come back to Teiko Middle School."
Both Otosaka Souji and Kuroko Tetsuya transferred from Teiko Middle School to Hoshinoumi Academy.
Therefore, Otosaka Souji and Kuroko Tetsuya have a sense of mutual respect.
"Let's go in together."
Otosaka Souji led the group to the Teiko Middle School basketball club with ease.
After all, Otosaka Souji was more familiar with the Teiko Middle School basketball team than the others.
Of course, this excludes Tetsuya Kuroko, who was also a member of the Teiko Junior High School basketball team.
Upon entering the basketball club, Otosaka Souji saw the Generation of Miracles warming up.
Aomine Daiki, who was closest to Otosaka Souji, greeted him naturally.
"Sōji, you've finally arrived!"
"I've been waiting for you for so long."
“I heard from Akashi that today is a good day for Hoshinoumi Academy to play a practice match.”
"I knew you would come."
"I've recently increased my training volume and become even stronger."
"I won't lose to you this time."
After greeting Otosaka Souji, Aomine Daiki didn't stop talking.
Otosaka Souji thought to himself, "How come I never noticed before that Daiki actually has the potential to be a chatterbox?"
Kuroko Tetsuya, who had virtually no presence, was thus ignored.
It's not surprising that Aomine Daiki couldn't detect Kuroko Tetsuya, given his supernaturally low presence.
However, Kuroko Tetsuya is used to being ignored by others.
Then, Kuroko Tetsuya took the initiative to greet Aomine Daiki.
"Dahui, it's been a long time."
"Hey! Eek—"
After Kuroko Tetsuya spoke, Aomine Daiki also noticed him.
Aomine Daiki put his arm around Kuroko Tetsuya's neck and said...
"I didn't expect to see you here, Tetsuya Kuroko!"
"How are things going? Are you getting used to Star Sea Academy?"
The smell of Aomine Daiki's sweat made Kuroko Tetsuya feel somewhat uncomfortable.
So Kuroko Tetsuya shrank back, breaking free from Aomine Daiki's arm, and continued speaking.
"The students at Starsea Academy are all very friendly, so it's very comfortable to get along with them."
"Then I'm relieved."
Although Kuroko Tetsuya and Aomine Daiki haven't seen each other for a long time, they seem to still have a good relationship.
Then, Aomine Daiki looked at Otosaka Souji and issued a provocative look, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
It's as if it's saying, "This time I'm going to beat you down."
Otosaka Souji narrowed his eyes and said with a slight smile.
"Lelele".
"It seems that you are very confident in your abilities now, Da Hui."
"You're still a thousand years too early to defeat me."
"After all, it's not just you who's making progress; I'm making progress too."
How can you be so sure that you're improving faster than me?
"Perhaps I'm already more powerful than you can imagine."
When Otosaka Souji said something ambiguous about imitation, Aomine Daiki, whose head was filled with basketballs, couldn't tell whether it was true or false for a moment.
However, there is one thing that Aomine Daiki is certain of.
That is, Otosaka Souji has become even stronger than before.
"Souji-kun, I'm getting more and more excited for our match."
Aomine Daiki was so excited that his mouth was practically crooked from smiling.
Otosaka Souji was really looking forward to this match against the Generation of Miracles.
It wasn't just because Otosaka Souji wanted to see just how far Aomine Daiki had evolved.
They also wanted to see if the other members of the Generation of Miracles had already awakened their Zones.
"Dahui, don't keep staring at me."
"Tetsuya has improved a lot too."
"If you only focus on me and underestimate the others, you might end up making a mess of things."
Otosaka Souji's words once again piqued Aomine Daiki's curiosity.
After all, in Aomine Daiki's mind, Kuroko Tetsuya's basketball skills had always been terrible.
Not only is he slow, but he's also weak and frail. He can't even shoot accurately from the two-point line.
"Really? Then I'm very curious."
As he spoke, Aomine Daiki looked at Kuroko Tetsuya.
"Tetsuya, is what Souji said true? Have you become really powerful now?"
"Yes, what Souji-kun said is true, I've improved a lot too. But I'm not that great, everything except passing is the same as before."
"Passing? That shouldn't be the case. To be praised by Souji, you can't just pass the ball. Is there something different about your passing?"
Just as Aomine Daiki was about to press for an answer, Otosaka Souji stopped him.
"Stop, stop, stop! Da Hui, this is our secret weapon, we can't tell you!"
"If you want to know, find out for yourself on the field."
It's rare to see Otosaka Souji act as a riddle teller.
This made Aomine Daiki very upset, since riddle people are really annoying.
For example, the secret codes that appear every day in a certain Beika Town are really a headache.
Fortunately, Otosaka Souji is neither a detective nor a police officer, so he doesn't need to decipher these codes.
It's just that some elementary school student who's a death god likes to try and decipher the riddle master's codes.
Aomine Daiki, whose breath had been forced to be held back by Otosaka Souji, had no choice but to swallow back what he was about to say.
However, Aomine Daiki also remembered the importance of passing the ball.
Passing the ball, huh? Watch how I steal it from you.
Akashi Seijuro, the son of a basketball tycoon, also came over to greet Otosaka Souji.
Otosaka Souji looked at Akashi Seijuro, who exuded an aura as he walked, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"As expected of the next heir to the Akashi Group, he has a very commanding presence."
Although Akashi Seijuro has the air of a superior, he is actually quite easy to get along with at the moment.
He possesses the gentleness and responsibility of an older brother, which is similar to that of Otosaka Souji.
However, if it's Akashi Seijuro's second personality, then it's a different story.
Akashi Seijuro's second personality is nothing but domineering.
