Chapter 4
What Right Does This Kid Have to Join the First String?
At this moment.
Kamiyama Koki aggressively walked over, then said to Li Zhong Shu:
“Kid, the debt between us isn’t settled yet.”
“Hmph, if you have the capability to join the First String, then we’ll slowly settle this debt.”
Li Zhong Shu saw this guy’s provocation, scratched his head, and said:
“Oh, so, is something the matter with you?”
“…”
Kamiyama Koki felt as if cold water had been poured on him.
He didn’t know what to say.
This guy was truly too infuriating!
Even if Li Zhong Shu had directly cursed him back, Kamiyama Koki wouldn’t have been so annoyed.
It was precisely this completely dismissive attitude that irritated him even more.
He swore.
Once Li Zhong Shu joined the official team, whether it was the First String or the Second String, he would use his senior status to teach this guy a proper lesson!
“Hmph.”
Kamiyama Koki coldly snorted.
And just at this moment, as he turned his head, he saw the figure with purple hair not far away…
Immediately, he instinctively flinched.
After all, Murasakibara Atsushi had instilled a truly deep fear in him!
He still remembered eagerly clashing with Murasakibara Atsushi back then.
That collision almost sent him flying!
This guy’s strength was truly terrifying!
To be honest, even with coordinated defense in a match.
Facing an opponent like him, Kamiyama Koki would have a huge headache.
This guy’s strength seemed endless.
Physically, he completely crushed him!
Moreover, the most terrifying thing was…
This guy was still just a first-year rookie!
Tsk.
I should probably stay far away.
...
At this moment, Coach Shirogane Kozo saw that everyone at the venue had basically gathered.
So, he called everyone to assemble.
A total of about a hundred people!
It could be seen that Teiko Junior High’s basketball club’s strength was indeed extraordinary.
In terms of numbers alone, it far surpassed the usual national standard.
At this moment.
Coach Shirogane Kozo held up the prepared list in his hand.
And this list would determine whether they would become official members of Teiko Junior High or reserve members.
At this moment, the coach surveyed everyone present and said:
“Students, you are all the future of our Teiko basketball club.”
“I am very grateful that you are willing to join the Teiko basketball club.”
“However, as we all know.”
“As long as there are competitions, there will be a division between strong and weak.”
“All the lists we have selected are based on a comprehensive consideration of your strengths.”
“The strong are honored; it has always been this way.”
“Therefore, even if you are not selected for the official team, you can still continue training with the reserve team, striving to make it onto the official roster in your second year.”
...
Having said this.
Coach Shirogane Kozo looked around the crowd.
Among them, many rookies had faces filled with excitement.
However, he knew clearly.
Many of them fundamentally had no chance of becoming official members of the First String.
Some might never even have the chance.
Even Teiko’s Second String.
Consisted of outstanding players among hundreds.
Let alone Teiko’s First String!
Since the establishment of Teiko Junior High’s basketball club,
The record for the youngest player to join the First String was still held by Nijimura Shuzo.
But even he only became a First String player in the second semester of his first year.
Before that, he had also trained for half a year in the Second String.
Therefore, although this was a blow to these newcomers.
But it had to be admitted.
That was the truth.
However… among this year’s newcomers, there were also exceptions.
“Alright, next.”
“I will directly announce the ten-person roster for Teiko’s First String.”
At this moment, everyone grew tense.
Except for…
Those teenagers with colorful hair.
Murasakibara Atsushi was almost asleep.
Upon hearing this, he even more directly mumbled softly:
“Boring…”
On this side, Midorima Shintaro pushed up his glasses with his middle finger.
He calmly said:
“Today’s lucky item is a stuffed frog, hmm… no problem.”
As for Aomine Daiki, he paid even less attention; he had previously stated verbatim:
“If even guys with such talent can join the First String, then there’s even less of a problem.”
However, their confidence was also reasonable.
After all, they were the ones dubbed the Generation of Miracles.
Even though this was just their early stage.
Their abilities hadn’t been fully unleashed.
Nevertheless, their strength was not to be underestimated.
At this moment, Coach Shirogane had begun to slowly call out names:
“Captain, Nijimura Shuzo.”
“Team members…”
As each name was called out.
Those individuals were also former members of the First String, so it didn’t cause much surprise.
At this moment, five names had been called.
Coach Shirogane Kozo paused slightly.
Then continued:
“The next official player is a first-year rookie.”
“Aomine Daiki!”
At this moment, many first-year rookies cast admiring glances.
But after all, Aomine Daiki’s strength was as clear as day.
So this was within many people’s expectations.
On this side.
The coach continued to read names from the list.
“First-year rookie, Murasakibara Atsushi.”
“First-year rookie, Midorima Shintaro.”
“First-year rookie…”
“Li Zhong Shu!”
...
At this moment, many people exclaimed:
“Wow… So amazing.”
“So envious, he actually joined the First String right after enrolling, just like Aomine and the others!”
“So strong!”
“This is truly making history.”
In fact.
When his name was called.
Li Zhong Shu was still a little surprised.
To be able to join Teiko’s First String alongside the Generation of Miracles, it seemed Atobe-sama’s ability was indeed formidable.
Moreover, his own awakened ability had once again been enhanced; he wondered how much his current strength would improve.
At this moment, Teiko’s First String roster had only one spot left.
And Kamiyama Koki’s name had not yet been called.
At this moment.
Kamiyama Koki made a throat-slitting gesture towards Li Zhong Shu.
His meaning was clear:
Once he was on the First String, he would have countless ways to teach his opponent a lesson.
However, Li Zhong Shu merely glanced at him, completely ignoring him.
Because he was very certain.
The last person to be called.
Would absolutely not be Kamiyama Koki.
Because there was someone far more deserving of joining the First String than him.
At this moment.
The coach also slowly opened his mouth, preparing to read the last name.
At this moment, Kamiyama Koki directly said:
“Kid, welcome to the First String!”
However, the last name the coach called out was:
“Akashi Seijuro!”
...
At this moment.
Everyone was stunned.
With dumbfounded expressions, they said:
“This guy… who is he?”
And just at this moment.
Akashi Seijuro very respectfully stepped forward in front of the team.
He introduced himself to everyone:
“Hello everyone, I am Akashi, it’s a pleasure to join the basketball club at Teiko Junior High.”
At this moment, Akashi turned back towards Kamiyama Koki, who had just spoken, and said with a smile:
“Oh right, thank you for your welcome.”
At this moment.
Kamiyama Koki’s face turned pale.
“What right does this kid have to join the First String!?”
