STEPBROTHER (HAIKYUU X KUROKO NO BASKETBALL SUMMER CAMP)
17
Akashi walked without hesitation into the Basketball court, it happened that there was already very crowded filled with members of Rakuzan who were very large. Moreover, almost all members are 2nd graders who can be said to be Akashi's Senior, but they don't seem to mind letting Akashi step over them as the main members of the team as long as Rakuzan can become the greatest basketball club in Japan.
Until finally the feeling of confidence began to be blunted by the feeling of doubt, when when he saw Akashi's left eye is not perfect as before. In fact, anyone would have guessed that Akashi would not be able to play basketball like before, the title of captain of Kiseki no seedai and Vorpal Sword alone will not be enough to prove that he is a great player just by relying on one eye. They do not realize that Akashi now has great new powers, because it will not be possible also Akashi can walk confidently back to step foot here if not holding a very profitable US card for the Rakuzan team.
But he had not had time to say anything, his whole eyes seemed to stare unhappily at him. In fact, they told Akashi by whispering softly to make Akashi become unhappy.
Luckily Mibuchi, Hayama and Nebuya came to Akashi before the Captain went on a rampage.
"Finally you came too, Sei-Chan." Mibuchi smiled happily, he immediately handed over the training board for today to Akashi.
"Thank you for the training menu, Mibuchi Senpai." Akashi took a quick glance at the contents of the training menu which felt very appropriate to do today.
"Akashi, I'm sorry we didn't welcome you this morning. Hayama told us everything, but unfortunately we're stuck with a task we haven't done this morning." Nebuya bluntly told the captain, he did not want Akashi to be mistaken and assumed that they did not care about Akashi. Even among all the members of Rakuzan today, only the three of them are very sincere and loyal to the Captain.
"It's okay, Nebuya Senpai." Akashi smiled, he put his backpack on the sidelines and took one of the basketballs in the basket.
"You're not changing clothes first, Sei-Chan?" ask Mibuchi.
"Ah yes, it seems that during these few days I cannot practice optimally with you guys. But, I'll take the time to monitor your training every day anyway." Akashi blatantly gave his reason, he had also thought about this carefully for a whole day.
"Why, Sei-Chan? Is there anything that makes you hesitate to practice with us?" mibuchi asked who felt strange enough to listen to Akashi's reason, although he knew Akashi often trained alone every night, but not usually Akashi chose the exercises without following the training menu like today.
"I happen to have my own training menu, but that doesn't mean I don't like the training menu that Senpai is making right now. I just need time to get back on my feet as the great Akashi I always was, so I need special training to be able to lead you guys and I need something that can be a strength for the Rakuzan Team to stay great in everyone's eyes." Akashi explained without hesitation, Mibuchi himself who could feel Akashi's ambitious attitude was no longer worried. He could feel there was a burning peak of every word Akashi said, as if he was very confident that his captain would rise again to make glory for Team Rakuzan.
"Then, we'll wait for your resurrection it's Sei-Chan." Mibuchi smiled excitedly, followed by Hayama who showed a feeling of admiration for what he heard from Akashi.
"You're a real man, Akashi. I'm sure next year we'll win the Winter Cup back." Nebuya did not forget to also show his growing muscles and his wide smile.
At the same time, a representative of the Rakuzan Basketball members shouted loudly at Akashi. His eyes seemed to emit a face that seemed to be underestimating Akashi, his tone also sounded fed up over Akashi's presence back in this team.
"Hey, the crowned kings! Aren't you sick of letting a crippled first-class kid seem to be the Captain? Look at his performances now, we're all very confident that he won't be as good as he used to be, so it's better to get him out of the first team and just replace our Team captain now!" cursed the man who seems to be in a generation with three crowned Kings who are none other than Mibuchi, Hayama and Nebuya.
"I admit that I do have substandard powers, but look now at our captain? He was not at all on this team" Shin said, looking back at his friends, followed also by a voice of cheers agreed by his other friends except the first-class children who chose to remain silent without defending anyone.
"It's exactly what Shin said, where maybe our team can be great if you still maintain a weak captain like him. And it could be a friendly match with Shutoku next Sunday, we will be humiliated by them." Someone next to Shin replied.
Clearly the words of the 2nd grade students were no longer tolerable, the three crowned kings were not until they were upset. However, before the trio could give any resistance to his fellow classmate, Akashi immediately put on the body first with a sharp gaze like a knight of darkness who was ready to annihilate his enemy.
"You have gone too far, I have completely exhausted my patience for your condescending attitude towards me." Akashi threw the ball at Shin who was in front of him.
"Let's prove with a basketball game, whoever first puts points into the ring is the winner.if you can get a victory in this match, then, then I will relinquish my captaincy and be willing to never step into Basketball World for the rest of my life at any time!" asserted Akashi with a haughty and confident tone. Shin and his other friends were distressed over Akashi's threats just now, when listening to Akashi's bets that seemed not to play around until he had to risk his periodic long future like that.
"You're so arrogant, don't you want to reconsider your bet?" ask Shin who was hesitant.
"I am Akashi, there is no time for me to hesitate and fear to challenge his enemy. So, you better pick your team now to fight me."
"Well, don't blame me if you lick your own spit." Shin smiled, he felt that today he would be able to defeat Akashi. Then without hesitation, he appointed the three crownless kings as part of his team and was followed by his close friend who was next to him.
"We can't fight Sei-Chan," Mibuchi refused as he was appointed by Shin.
"It's okay, Mibuchi. We won't be enemies, even if you'll be my tagline opponent today. But I'd hate you so much if you refused to fight me. It's the same as if you're afraid to beat me and think I'm weak, even if your intentions are good right now." Akashi no longer showed his friendly facial features, he was really serious this time and removed the eyes patch on his left eye.
"Well if that's what you want, Sei-Chan." Mibuchi seemed excited compared to feeling upset at all, although he began to feel the fear he experienced when facing battle 3 vs 1 first with Akashi.
"If so, let's start now!" akashi's orders make Shin begin to dribble the ball as a sign of the game starting.
****
Who will win this training match? Is it Shin or Akashi?
