"Why don't you come to practice?" Aomine yelled at him as soon as he picked it up.

"No time."

"It's best! Tomorrow we're going to face Murasakibara and Himuro. It's been over a month since you──"

"I've been practicing by myself for a month!" Kise interrupted him directly, "Isn't Xiao Qingfeng the same?──Didn't we come here in the same way before? It was possible before, why not now?"

"Cool!" "I have to work, so turn off the phone first."

Before he could finish speaking, he pressed the power off button and threw the phone back into the bag.

"Can we start filming? Ryota-kun." The director gently knocked on the door where he rested.

"Well, no problem."

"Sorry, I found you so late." "No, I want to thank your company for giving me the opportunity to represent your expensive product." Kise walked into the studio with a smile—this was the first time in his life Advertising case.

"However, she is a first-line supermodel, but she is willing to take on this kind of firefighting job. She is really dedicated and unassuming. Actually, when we called your office, we didn't have high expectations, but Mr. Liang It’s really kind of you to agree.”

Hoseok smiled.

Then he looked up at the clock hanging on the studio, and the pointer pointed to twelve o'clock.

midnight.

"It's just a commercial shooting, won't it affect your competition the next day?" Just after finishing the interview with the two magazines at night, the president's voice came from the phone.

Kise knew that he had no room for rejection.

By the time he came out of the studio, it was already dawn for how long.The sunlight outside was so strong that he could hardly keep his eyes open.

"Excuse me, please go to Xiushan Gymnasium. Please drive faster. Thank you!" Kise shouted at the driver as soon as he rushed into the taxi with his bag and ball bag.

Then he began to take out the wet tissue in the bag and desperately wiped the remaining makeup on his face.

Kise rushed all the way into the competition venue.

"You're late Kise."

"Sorry, I'm rushing!" He took off his coat and pulled up his knee pads.The whole person was out of breath.

"Have you warmed up yet?"

"Done."

The coach changed Sakurai down and let him go up.

"What the hell! The second quarter has already begun." Seeing Queen Tonghuang's late arrival, the emperor cursed.

"Will Xiao Qingfeng lose if I come a quarter late?" He smiled and pushed back.

"You dared to hang up on me last night." "I said I was busy—"

"Hey, hey... the game is still going on... just leave us aside and flirt with us unscrupulously. Okay?" Just as the two kings were fighting each other, the Yangquan third-year players couldn't help but shout remind.

Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were cold.

"It's very long-winded, I'm talking less to Aomine to spoil the situation──Himuro Tatsuya."

He pushed back coldly.His expression dropped to freezing point in an instant.

"To avenge last year, we came prepared this year. We won't let the two of you be bored anymore." After speaking, he exchanged glances with Atsushi Murasakihara.

"Zibing Online VS Tonghuang Shuangwang. I hope you can really do what you said this year—give us a little fun."

Dribble the ball bang bang bang.

The long and beautifully trimmed fingers ticked towards the challenger.

The proud Empress Tonghuang condescendingly issued a battle card to the brave men who came to challenge.

Shuangwang VS Zibing, the battle is on the verge of breaking out.

"Aomine's power is still the same, but the sharpness is not so sharp." Midorima lay on the stand.Captain Sutoku.

After being sealed for almost half a semester, the young king who had accumulated power for a long time finally broke out at this moment—Tonghuang Academy.

Obviously, there has been a slight change in the style of play.

With the twin kings—Lord Qingfeng and Kise Fuyu, the strategy of the center remains unchanged.But in the past, only the double kings have changed rapidly on the court; although they are not as active as them, the other players of Tonghuang have gradually figured out a set of models that can cooperate with them.

Defending, passing, returning to defense, doing everything possible so that the two kings can deal with Zibing without any worries—finally they are not just running aimlessly at both ends of the court.Tonghuang's other people.

"But Ryota is getting more and more stinging---" Luoshan captain Akashi added for Midorima.

The two-color different pupils capture the figure who is soaring on the ball.

Arrogant, aggressive.

As if to make up for everything that was missed before, Empress Tonghuang was full of momentum and stormed the audience.It doesn't look like someone who hasn't been on the court for more than a month.

At the beginning of the game, he assisted Qingfeng to score three-pointers, dribbled and copied the ball.Yangquan could only run after him like a headless chicken. No matter how he dodged and defended, the ball would return to Empress Tonghuang in the end—and then Qingfeng Dahui scored.

The aura of the tyrant Qingfeng Daihui at the basket was still impressive, and his power continued unabated; the kid's arm strength became stronger, as did his stamina and foot strength.

Akashi lowered his gaze.Not only him, everyone who watched the game must have noticed it, right?

──The style of play──is a lot calmer, and sometimes even starts to dispatch players──It seems that Tonghuang's next captain should be him.

Qingfeng Dahui stood under the basket steadily and calmly; that was the throne belonging to his empire.Waiting for everyone to come and challenge.

tyrant?

Do not,

He has moved from the immature, unstable, irritable, aggressive tyrant to a higher level──

"It's a bit like Aomine from Teiko's time, but it's not exactly the same." Kuroko Tetsuya, the next Seirin captain, and ACE Kagami Taiga walked to the stands.

The generations of miracles are back together again.

"What about Tetsu's eyes—what about Ryota?" Akashi asked, narrowing his eyes.

After a fierce fight.

Under the basket, there are only the double kings and Zi Bing who came to challenge.

"Long time no see, Xiao Zi. I'm sorry, I'm going to take you home again this year."

Facing the giant in Yangquan, the provocation in the queen's eyes has not been reduced by half.

"If you say something like that, I'll crush you even if it's Huang?"

"Pass through me before crushing this guy. Ziyuan." Tong Huang's power forward, Aomine Daiki, suddenly stepped in.

Qingfeng had an arrogant smile on his face.

"Xiaoqing..." His eyes slowly turned.

The two looked at each other.

XXX

Qingfeng and Ziyuan fought fiercely under the basket.

A fierce battle between the strongest scoring machine and the strongest barrier.

Qingfeng kept attacking, and Ziyuan also tried his best to crack.

After being severely humiliated by Emperor Tong last year and smashed his self-esteem, Yangquan is fully prepared to make a comeback this year-they spent a whole year to get back this hatred.

The battle was hot, and both sides were awarded several fouls.

"Ada and Xiaozi have too many collisions! This is only the first match." The manager, Momoi Wuyue, shouted.

As an ace, try to avoid body collisions as much as possible, minimize the possibility of any injury, and protect yourself is also one of the ace's responsibilities.

"Our own center can't compete with Murasakihara of the Miracle Generation. Kise is too thin, and only Aomine can match him in the penalty area." Coach Hara Zekoto said.

"...Yangquan came prepared this time. It was probably Himuro's idea." Midorima pushed his glasses, and glanced at Kagami who was standing aside.

"They all pointed their finger at Qingfeng-kun." said Heizi who was lying on the stand.

"The Winter Cup is getting hot..." Vulcan said.Since Tonghuang dominated last year, the style of the high school men's basketball team has changed bit by bit.Everyone is frantically chasing a more violent and aggressive basketball; otherwise, it is impossible to survive in the hands of the cruel Tonghuang.

"It's their own fault," Midorima said. "They have completely trampled on the dignity of other teams in the past year. You can't blame them for wanting revenge by any means possible."

It was no longer a matter of winning or losing.

"Let's guess what Coach Tonghuang's plan is in the face of Zibing's offensive." Flicking his fingers, the captain of Luoshan, one of the top three, Akashi Seijuro looked at his good opponent on the chessboard.

Looking down from the stands, the trend of the two teams is clear at a glance; it is like a fight on a chessboard.

Tong Huang's center gradually approached Qingfeng's direction──

"Are you going to use the castle to protect the king? Defense is not Tonghuang's style." Midorima pondered.Although Qingfeng himself committed three fouls, the game was only in the second quarter, and ACE must not be allowed to foul like that.Of course, it is also very important to let the center carry the opponent's attack.

WC is only the first game.The king must not be injured.

"They'll definitely send attackers," Akashi said.

Moving his fingers in the air, he made an invisible move.

"──Emperor Tong's queen."

Kise Ryota ran beside Aomine.

Watching around like a falcon.

The coach had just gestured to him, his pale eyes narrowed slightly, and Kise nodded.

From the second quarter till now, Xiao Qingfeng has collided with Xiao Zi countless times.Total melee.If it goes on like this, it will hurt.

Pale golden eyes rolled.

──Just force Atsushi Murasakihara to graduate...

As long as Xiao Zi goes out, Yangquan's iron wall formation will collapse.The rest will be slaughtered by them slowly until the end.

But—although Xiao Zi is simple, he is not a fool. He knows that the fourth offense will put too much psychological pressure on the players, and the third offense is already the limit.

Plus that old and treacherous ice room...

"Those who stand in the way of Aomine's victory... must be eradicated──"

His eyes instantly turned cold.

"Kise, although his scoring ability is far inferior to Aomine's, there is one thing that makes him unique──" Akashi said.

"He is suitable for playing in any position. Whether it is offense or defense, he is the best player──especially with Aomine."

"In order to match the capricious Aomine, you have developed a variety of skills."

Watching Huang Lai go from being a basketball novice back then to being Queen Tonghuang now.Akashi Seijuro was even more convinced of his accurate gaze.

"Everything is played for Aomine... That's his troublesome point." He said, "Well, this way he has finally graduated from the style of copying others. Dying Aomine's color is completely just for him. To match his ball──Empress Tonghuang, Kise Ryota's style."

To force Xiao Zi to foul, there is probably only this way──

"I'm sorry, but it's up to you to pay back your little Zi's revenge against Xiao Qingfeng──"

One of the twin kings, Empress Tonghuang, came in front of the ice room.

──Attack Himuro Tatsuya.

"Sure enough..." Heizi couldn't help but make a sound.

Kise wants to win like crazy.

He actually thought of attacking Himuro to anger Murasakihara.

"This kind of ball is uncomfortable just looking at it." Heizi said, "I don't like this kind of game."

Although he wanted to turn around and leave, Vulcan would not go with him in this situation.He gripped the railing tightly with both hands, staring at his elder brother who was ruthlessly tortured by the queen who was fully empowered on the court.

A gorgeous and brutal pas de deux.

"Although it's a bit dangerous, Kise doesn't have a single foul at the moment. And he fakes very fast." Tonghuang coach Yuan Ze said to the surprised manager and players.

He gave Kise instructions—to let Murasakihara end, there are no restrictions.

Kise chooses to attack his partner to provoke him.From just now until now, he has been biting the ice room and chasing him fiercely.

Hara Ze guessed his plan, Kise wanted to force Zi Yuan's target to shift from Aomine to him──

As long as you adjust your posture when you are hit, you can protect yourself.Then you can also let the opponent get a foul and tie the hands and feet of the Yangquan giant!

The rest are left to their slaughter.

"small room!"

Looking at the ice room that was knocked to the ground, Murasakihara became excited.

Kise shrugged and gave an extremely dishonest Sorry.

He stared coldly at the ice room that got up from the ground.

Poker face.

"Cool──" Emperor Tong roared angrily.

He doesn't want to play this kind of ball!

"Xiaoqingfeng, you don't understand anything at all...you just need to stay in the penalty area and score well."

Facing the king's roar, Tonghuang's queen just shook her head.

He definitely didn't know what kind of mood he was saying this sentence.

Kise, smiled slightly and bitterly.

"──I don't want a loser to be my king."

Then ran away without looking back.

my position.

only one.

No one can replace it.

──My ball was born for Aomine Daiki.He only fought for Aomine Daiki alone.

──This is the only thing that is unique.No replacement.

The ball seemed to have life in his hands, as smooth as a silk thread, Qingfeng's style.Also his style.

"Come and stop me, or I'll attack Himuro until he can't stand up." Kise stood in front of Himuro, who was starting to falter, and smiled at Murasakihara Chan.

"──Just like last year."

When Murasakihara charged towards him, a faint smile spread across his face, Kise bypassed the back, passed the ball straight through the midfield to Aomine, and at the same time, was rushed off the field by Murasakihara──

In fact, the kind of acting skills where the opposing player immediately falls to the ground when he bumps into it is not uncommon in a ball game.

This was originally a kind of tactic, and the people who were irritated could only blame themselves for being bad.

The ball is meant to have a fiery heart and a cold mind.to win.

Being able to immediately adjust his posture to protect himself at the moment of collision is something that Kise, who is already good at flexibility, is good at.Otherwise, with his height of 189, his body of only 77 kg would not be able to survive in the restricted area for so long.

This kind of tightrope walking is done by the fiery King Tonghuang, and the dexterous Queen Tonghuang is more suitable.

Yuan Zeked thought to himself.

So when Kise fell out and rolled into the auditorium, he was stunned.

There was an uproar in the audience.Even the photographers forgot to capture the shot.

"The game is suspended!" The conference broadcast immediately.

Ambulancemen, coaches, and other first- and second-year students all rushed over.

Qingfeng rushed off the field directly.

(leg cramp...)

This is the only thing left in my mind.Then the tight throbbing pain continued to spread from the calf, and it was the only feeling left in the whole body.Huang Lai was in a daze, and his vision was blurred with blood.

When he came here this morning, he didn't even do any warm-up, so he went straight to the field.There is no way, it is too late.

Something was running down my face, dripping down my neck and into my clothes.He died, and it seemed serious.

"Someone get a towel to stop the bleeding!" "Has an ambulance been called?"

"Kise!" "Kise-senpai!" "Can you hear the voice? Kise?"

All sounds are vague and distant.There are only noises in the ears.

The whole person seems to be submerged in water, and the world is isolated.

My mind just went blank.

Qingfeng rushed off the field immediately.The ambulancemen of the conference were struggling to help Kise who had fallen into the pile of iron chairs.Kise's face was covered in blood.And no matter how you call it, there is no response.

"No, his entire consciousness is blurred." The ambulanceman hurriedly pressed the bloody forehead with a towel.The blonde hair was dyed red in a large area.

"Cool! Cool!"

Blood kept dripping down his pale face, and a large area of ​​the black Tonghuang jersey was soaked.

"Is the ambulance here?"

"Kose played a lot of media, there are interview cars outside, and the ambulance is still stuck at the door..."

"I'll carry him down—!"

Without waiting for others to react, Qingfeng picked up Huang Lai by the waist and rushed out.

From the beginning to the end, Kise kept his eyes half-opened like that, without any reaction or consciousness.Blood stained half of his head, and his entire face was covered in blood.
