[Kuroko's Basketball] The First Promise

Those who have never even heard of the Age of Miracles, please don't stand here and insult basketball.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ The sneakers rubbed against the smooth floor and made a creaking sound. More and more onlookers gathered in the auditorium of the gymnasium, where there are usually few people. A three-on-three basketball game, but the people watching couldn't move their feet or look away.

This was an unfair bullfight. The senior junior basketball club president led the two strongest players against the freshmen who had not yet joined the club.

However, the unfair game has gradually become a nightmare in disguise.

The rhythm of the ball, the hard hit of the slam dunk, and the pass of the change of direction.

Ordinary three-on-three plays at an extremely high level. The fast-rotating defensive system, horizontal assist defense, and chasing and blocking shots seem to be three people who have always been performing a strong individual show in their own field, but in essence they take everything into consideration. The actions of the comrades-in-arms carried out timely and quick defense and rotation to cover the position. The impeccable defense and fast attack made the main players of the basketball club unable to fight back.

When the whistle sounded, Midorima took a big step back, and made a super long-range three-pointer at the buzzer.

Taking the ball and sliding it across the horrified faces of the audience, such a strategizing technique caused a burst of exclamation.

Rather than saying that it does not look like the strength of a freshman, it is better to say that it is not at the level that ordinary people can achieve.

"Freshmen of this group of bastards..." The tallest president of the basketball club gasped, and at the same time the whistle sounded as if he had collapsed, he fell on his back on the cold wooden board, looking at the empty steel bar above him. The top cover of the body, trying to yell out a complete sentence like fighting for the last breath: "How can you be so strong ahhhhhhhhhh—"

The bright red 0:101 on the basketball board is like a death certificate. Under the three-digit point difference, the members of the basketball club did not score a point, their shots were blocked, and their passes were blocked. It is helpless to constantly refresh the score.This situation has never happened in so many years, and it is a shame.

"As I said, you guys are too weak." Compared to the president who was sweating profusely and couldn't get up on the ground, Akashi's bangs were only slightly damp. He didn't even run during the whole process. Shooting for the center of the circle, waiting for the pass from Midorima or Aomine, and occasionally assisting.After straightening his slightly messy bangs, Akashi walked up to the man, looked down at the man from above, and said coldly for a while, "Akashi Seijuro."

"Damn—I don't care who you are, you're too brave! You dare to bring freshmen to the basketball club on the first day of school, and see if I don't treat you—oh!"

Suddenly, the eyes went dark, and the hard basketball mercilessly hit the man's nose directly. A burst of severe pain instantly invaded his whole body, which stopped him from speaking and made his body twitch instantly.But this is far from enough, Akashi sneered, picked up the scissors he took out from somewhere, and directly plunged into the basketball that hadn't bounced off the bridge of the man's nose in the future.

At such a close distance, the man seemed to hear the sound of basketball discouraged, as if the only remaining courage in his heart would also disappear.The basketball gradually deflated, and the man felt that the cold blade was about to touch his cheek, and his stomach convulsed suddenly.

"President—President, are you okay?" The two team members who regained their strength hurried over and tried to help the stiff man up, but failed several times, and could only look up and stare at the expressionless man. Akashi: "Hey, even if you are better than us, you should be a little polite, right? What are you guys going to do when you come to kick the gym on the first day of school!"

"That's right, if you dare to be so arrogant to the president, you'll be the one to commit crimes!"

Akashi sneered, bent down and pulled out the scissors, and stabbed one of his teammates in the face without saying a word. Just as he swung his hand in the air, Aomine stepped forward and grabbed it.

Akashi turned his head halfway and glanced coldly at the person in the way, his eyes directly expressing the words "you will be the next one".

"Hey~ Didn't you say it clearly before the game?" Kise, who sat cross-legged under the basket and watched for a long time, reluctantly kissed the mobile phone with the photo of Heizi as a screen saver and looked up with a smile: "The game lost If so, give up the position of president to Akashi, okay?"

"What are you kidding! I have been in charge of this basketball club for two years. How could I just give it to you if I say it!" Obviously, the president didn't expect the strength of this group of people at all. He just wanted to save his position first, and this group of people posed such a big threat, he absolutely couldn't let them step into the basketball club.

Kise shrugged, using silence as the greatest contempt.Midorima just pushed his glasses and walked over to take a few sips of the mineral water handed by Kise, and decided to be the third onlooker after Kise Murasakihara. Hold the knife.

"Do you think that someone like you who is only good at basketball can be the captain? The captain needs to know how to win people's hearts, and also learn how to turn over funds, and recruit new people. What can you, a little kid, know? ?” The man looked at Akashi, who was much shorter than him, sarcastically, without turning around, he pointed directly at the members of the basketball club who were blocking the door watching the game: “—Ask them, who will let you A dwarf like you is going to be the president? Let alone the president, no basketball club would want someone like you. Are you right?!"

After about five or six seconds, the air condensed slightly over time.

The silence behind him made the man's straight arms tremble slightly.

"It seems that your members have more discernment than you." Akashi chuckled, hooked the index finger with the scissors and twirled them a few times before holding them, and walked over directly rubbing the man's shoulder, deliberately lowering his voice and saying: "—— Besides, I heard that you have been dismissed long ago, rubbish."

The boy's expression turned extremely ugly in an instant, and he didn't even know how to say a rebuttal.

"From now on, I, Seijuro Akashi, will be the president of the University of Tokyo basketball club."

Akashi left the former president behind, raised his lips to look at the group of members at the door, and then raised his head to look at the crowd gathered in the auditorium, as if swearing, he said plausibly: "—I will lead this team , and win the college league championship within one year."

After the voice fell, there was a moment of silence, and then a girl suddenly screamed, as if a fuse had been lit, causing the audience to roar.Many people who watched the match that day said that it was a simple three-on-three bullfight, but it made their whole body tremble and their blood boiled.

Youth is very short, and the dreams we are allowed to dream are also very short, so in this short period of time, we have to act more recklessly during this period of youth.Then burn your own blood.

It seems that the beast that has been restrained for a long time has broken free from the prison, revealing its sharp teeth, waiting to tear the dust-covered history and let this brand-new arena shine with the highest vision of brilliance.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ class is new The first thing I decided to do after Akashi officially took over the basketball club.

The University of Tokyo stipulates that every student must participate in at least one club, so the recruiting of new clubs after the start of school is one of the most spectacular scenes.On weekdays, the empty gymnasium is full of freshmen. Various clubs have their posters and their respective booths. The loudspeakers are fully turned on. Noisy recruiting voices and slogans are everywhere. Some freshmen are even recruited by this dazzling club. Overwhelmed.

Several popular clubs were arranged near the door. Basically, the freshmen who entered the door would first go to those booths for consultation.The basketball club, which has always had a bad reputation, was arranged in the most inconspicuous corner. The recruiters were a few seniors in the sophomore year. Because the president was temporarily changed, they had no time to prepare new banners and posters. Can rely on a megaphone to attract attention.

Akashi crossed his legs and sat in the auditorium on the second floor of the gymnasium, away from the noisy environment he always hated.And he didn't pay much attention to the recruiting work of the basketball club. According to his words, the basketball club doesn't even need too many substitute players, and the current few members of the Miracle Generation are already more than enough.

"I heard that only four freshmen were recruited this morning, little Akashi~" Kise's unique soft voice behind him interrupted Akashi's train of thought.

"It's just a procedure, it doesn't matter whether you recruit people or not." Akashi didn't answer, "Dun is here too?"

"Ah—I don't want to come—" Ziyuan replied vaguely while tearing open the potato chips package: "But I heard that there is a free potato chips event at the Baituan Naxin site, so... um!"

The latter words were covered by the dry laughing Huang Lai, he didn't want to be dragged together by Ziyuan and stabbed with scissors.

"Hey junior! Do you want to join the basketball club? This year's basketball club has many very good members joining!"

The recruiting senior quickly grabbed a freshman who was passing by the booth, and tried his best to introduce the club he loved. After a whole morning of recruiting, his voice was already a little hoarse: "How is it? Do you want it?" join in?"

"Hey..." The freshman looked at the simple booth with some hesitation, and wondered after a while: "Is there any club introduction brochure? Has this club participated in any competitions?"

"Yes, yes, please accept." The young man quickly handed over an introduction sheet with both hands, as if he felt that the person in front of him was interested in the club, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Yes, our club has participated in college leagues and national competitions. , how? Are you interested?"

"—Don't think about the basketball club. Let alone the national competition, they were swept away in the second round of the college league last year. Little brother, why don't you come and see our football club? We have won the college league championship for three consecutive years. oh!"

"Haha, junior, don't be fooled by their basketball club, their former president—but they have made a huge deficit in their club! Our baseball club will provide free uniforms and a series of baseball equipment. Do you want to consider us here?"

The freshman was a little overwhelmed by the boys who emerged from both sides, hooked his shoulders and pulled him aside.

The two sophomores in charge of recruiting students from the basketball club looked at each other, but they didn't know how to refute.After all, the reputation of the basketball club is generally recognized as bad, and even the school rarely gives them financial assistance, and they will be ridiculed by people from other clubs for a long time every year when recruiting new recruits.There are very few people who can be recruited, and most of them have only the idea of ​​killing time and exercising.

"But—but our basketball club has a lot of powerful members this year, and we have also changed to a great president! Do you want to think about it again?" Obviously, the boy is not reconciled, and he is trying hard to win him over. Come back: "Have you ever heard of the Miracle Generation? They are members of the Miracle Generation! It turns out that they led Diguang Middle School to win many championships!"

"What is a miracle? It's all in the past tense, right? We haven't even heard of it."

"Hahaha, I mean, I just know that the president of your basketball club is still a freshman this year? And he's a dwarf? I really didn't expect that your club has fallen to the point where you rely on your juniors to support you?"

"Hey~ Don't say it so bluntly, look at both of their faces turning green!"

"Hahaha, it's really interesting. Since you said that the generation of miracles is so strong, why do you recruit new ones? Create miracles and win a national championship for us? Just talk about it, I see, you guys That’s what the basketball club is capable of.”

"Yes, yes, junior, you should come and see our baseball club, don't be fooled by them."

"You bastards...don't talk so much!" His fists hurt from being clenched, and he really couldn't stand being insulted by the people around him. The member of the basketball club couldn't help it anymore, and wanted to punch him with his fist. , another cowardly member next to him hurriedly pulled him back: "Don't be angry, Chiba-kun, let's wait a little longer, there will definitely be others to join, it's okay..."

As soon as he said this, more people laughed, and even the first-year freshmen who tried to stop at the beginning were embarrassed by the one-sided momentum and left.

The boy who was called Chiba immediately turned pale, and tightly held the flimsy leaflet, which was torn into many folds by his strength.His eye sockets were a little red.

"Can I have a flyer?"

At the same time when those two people were embarrassed and angry, the unique voice of the young man suddenly broke in with a sense of dissonance, making them all startled.

"—Wow, when did this person come out!?"

Even Chiba and his companions were taken aback. There were only those two people from the baseball club and football club in front of their counter just now. Since when did this person stand here...

While drinking the vanilla milkshake in his hand, the blue-haired young man stretched out his hand towards Chiba with a dull face: "—Oh, by the way, many people in our class are interested in this basketball club, can the senior give me some more?"

"Ah... ah, ah, of course! You don't have a problem with as much as you want!" The young man who came back to his senses frantically flipped out a stack of leaflets and handed them over, his voice full of uncontrollable excitement: "Student wants Don’t you want to join the basketball club too? This year’s basketball club is different from the past, are you interested?”

"Sorry, I don't know how to play basketball, but there are many people in our class who are interested in basketball." Heizi took the stack of flyers, and the people from the baseball club next to him were not convinced, and leaned over to hook Heizi's neck But it was directly avoided by the latter.

"Also..." Heizi turned around and looked directly at the new recruit of the baseball club with a slightly embarrassed expression, and said seriously: "—For those who have never even heard of the Age of Miracles, please don't stand up." Insulting basketball here."

Those clear blue eyes were neither salty nor indifferent to the young man who had uttered wild words before, but there was a strong aura in his tone that could not be ignored.

Perhaps it was the overly serious tone that made people feel different. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, this thin freshman was a little too overwhelmed.

"Huh!? You kid—who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that!" He probably couldn't stand being taught a lesson by a freshman. Even if he was stunned for two seconds, he quickly recovered and took a step forward. He immediately pulled up Heizi's collar and sneered: "It seems that you don't know who I am, do you? How dare you talk to the president of the baseball club like that. It seems that seniors should give you a warning!"

"I'm sorry." Heizi raised his head to meet his gaze, and responded flatly: "I don't plan to join the baseball club, so I don't need the warning from the president of the baseball club. Please let go."

"What—dammit, you bastard!"

There was a sense of vigor and rhythm in those astonishingly blue eyes, and he didn't flinch at all from the other party's actions.

The smell of gunpowder here immediately attracted a lot of onlookers, more and more people gathered, and there were not a few people booing the center of the frame.

When Akashi opened his eyes, he saw a dark group of people gathered in the corner on the first floor. He didn't know what to say, and he couldn't see who they were surrounded by. There are girls screaming.Akashi frowned slightly, just as Aomine had just walked up the steps over there, he said directly: "Dahui, go and see what's going on below."

Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, looked at the first floor, then "cut", scratched his head impatiently, turned around and walked down.

"Ryota, fill out a registration form for Tetsuya." Before Kise who was behind him could reply, Akashi had already stood up: "I'm leaving first."

"Hey? Where is little Akashi going?" Kise opened his bag and took out a registration form in response, and asked suspiciously.

"It's too stuffy here, I'll go out for a while."

"Hey——how can you fight with the younger generation! It's obvious that you insulted him first! Put him down!" Unable to see the freshman who suddenly appeared to save the scene being bullied, Qianye hurriedly went around the counter and tried to put him down. Heizi was pulled from the man's hand, but he obviously didn't expect the man to strike directly. When he pushed the president of the baseball club away, he was kicked to the ground by the latter. After sliding half a meter on the smooth floor He hit the corner of the table directly, and couldn't get up for a while.Before he could catch his breath, he coughed hastily several times.

This time, the crowd of onlookers increased even more.

The scene before Qianye's eyes became bumpy, and he felt the pain in his abdomen gradually becoming more serious.There were a lot of onlookers, but no one came up to help him, only the former member squatted next to him and tried to ask how he was feeling.

At that time, Chiba felt that no matter how strong the members are now, the black history of the past cannot be erased, and it will always be the laughing stock of everyone, and the basketball club of the University of Tokyo will not have any chance to gain a foothold.

"Hey, what are you doing!" When Qingfeng's impatient voice sounded, the hostility in the corner of his eyes shocked the former arrogant baseball club president the moment he looked up.Qingfeng was originally tall, and when he stood in front of Qianye, he immediately blocked him. The baseball club member looked up at him, but he felt a terrifying aura rushing towards him.

"Ah——you're the one making trouble?" Qingfeng glanced at the person who didn't pay much attention to the basketball club before, the cruelty in his eyes made the person shrink his neck subconsciously.Without saying too much, Qingfeng first bent down to help the members of his own club up. His appearance has diluted the previous smell of gunpowder a lot, and if he fights here with his figure, it is true that others will not take advantage of it. .

"Tsk, even if some people join your club now, it's still the worst of all the clubs. This won't change at all."

Knowing in the bottom of my heart that people from the basketball club came to save the game, the troublemakers clicked their tongues unwillingly, touched the tips of their noses, turned and returned to their counters cursing.

Qingfeng didn't bother to pay attention to those individuals' comments at all, he glanced at the crowd who wanted to watch from the corner of his eye, and his eyes full of force silently cleared away all the people.

However, after this toss, the basketball club's recruiting has really attracted the attention of many people. Qianye saw that the thick stack of registration forms seemed to be less.

"Are you okay?" Qingfeng frowned slightly after looking at the person who had been kicked to the ground before.There was an extremely obvious black shoe print on Qianye Xuebai's shirt, and she didn't need to think about it to know that the kick must have been hard: "Do you want to go to the infirmary?"

"Ah... I'm fine, I'm fine, thank you..." Qianye quickly smiled and waved her hands, rubbing her aching belly while turning her head and said: "It was thanks to this junior just now, but I was beaten The punch must be very painful... huh?! Where are you?"

Qingfeng followed his gaze and looked behind him, but it was empty.

Except for the cup of vanilla milkshake that was spilled on the ground, a few footprints were left because it was stepped on by many people.

"Ah ah ah ah? Shouldn't it? It's gone again?" Qianye was dumbfounded, and looked around but still couldn't see the figure of the previous person, and immediately scratched her head in doubt: "It's really weird , He is really elusive, he just appeared suddenly and unknowingly, and then disappeared unknowingly... I don't know if he is okay after being punched just now, the corner of his mouth is bleeding..."

Qingfeng's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he said immediately without even thinking about it:

"The man you mentioned, what's his name?"

"Uh... I forgot to ask just now, but he's a very short freshman, ah——where is Aomine-kun going?"

Looking at Aomine who pushed away the crowd and walked towards the gate without saying a word, Chiba blinked inexplicably.

Even if you chase them out now, you probably won't be able to find them, after all, there are so many people here...
