STEPBROTHER (HAIKYUU X KUROKO NO BASKETBALL SUMMER CAMP)
46

Sweat flooded the floor of the building, but to this day Akashi was reluctant to give up at all. He still struggles to snatch the basketball from Mayuzumi's hands with both eyes closed.

And every time he fell due to hit by a wall or objects around, he still got back up and tried to catch Mayuzumi who was dribbling the ball to stay away from Akashi.

Until it did not feel the clock had shown at 5 pm, then Mayuzumi immediately stopped the exercise and approached Akashi who had been trying to avoid it.

"It's time we go home" Mayuzumi said.

Akashi immediately opened his eyes, there was a feeling of resentment in his heart for not being able to master this power within a day. Though usually he is very easy to master it, but because Rei asked that Akashi should not use Zone to Focus or use his eyes for Emperor Eyes, he said, so he had to practice on his own with both eyes closed.

"You're still not trying to play your part, Akashi. You even look uncomfortable as long as your eyes are closed" Mayuzumi lamented.

"I just need to adapt, then I go home first. If I can, I'll let you know again. Take it easy, for me this is just an easy exercise and it doesn't take a week to master." Akashi still maintains his confidence, he knows that he is a person who is able and has a natural talent to learn things easily.

"Thank you for taking the time for me, Mayuzumi-senpai and Rei-San." Akashi bowed in appreciation for the two seniors, then he picked up his backpack that was lying on the floor and left there covered in sweat.

Fortunately the location of the University was in the middle of the city, so it became easy to find a taxi to drive him home. And while in the taxi, he closed his eyes again and tried to focus on recognizing the road passing by the taxi he was riding with open glass.

He tried to let both ears work more actively, trying to focus more and allow himself to swim in the void.

And the deeper he swam into the hollow darkness in his subconscious, he began to be able to find three figures of Akashi who was staring at him. The three of them look three get along, even giving each other hateful gazes.

"Come, Seijuro! You definitely need me more than they do" call Akashi who only has a left eye with a tightly sewn right eye.

"No need to listen to him, Akashi! You'd better come here, because I'm a much greater force." Akashi, who only has a right eye with a tightly sewn left eye, is reluctant to lose, he also tries to persuade Akashi to choose him.

And when Akashi looked at the third Akashi, he just smiled at Akashi with his eyes sewn together. Then he extended his hand towards Akashi, "You must accept me, Akashi Seijuro. If you want to rule me!"

"Don't listen to him, Seijuro! You just need Emperor Eyes, you don't need them." Akashi with his left eye stepped forward one step.

"Emperor Eyes does not have a great effect if you only rely on one eye, you better use my Absolute Eyes only Akashi!" persuade Akashi to the right eye while folding both hands. It was followed by the angry cries of the other two Akashi.

And the longer the persuasion turned into a violent quarrel between the three, Akashi who saw him felt dizzy and fed up when he thought of everything. Then he reflexively shouted loudly to the three, "What if I need the strength of the three of you?"

Akashi with both eyes closed asked, "You sure? You haven't mastered my abilities."

"No need to worry, I will soon master your abilities. I'm Akashi Seijuro!" akashi said firmly.

"I will master both of you, not to forget also I will learn to rely on emperor eyes with the left eye only. You don't have to fight or argue and disrespect each other" Akashi said.

"I believe you will master these three powers, Seijuro. But, I doubt your body will be able to sustain it since you are still a teenager. You are too easy to have abilities that exceed your own physical, that is the only weakness of the members of Kiseki no sendai. You have to remember your limits" said the left-eyed Akashi, the true emperor.

"I know my limits. I'll use you guys in turns at every game later, the point is I have to master you first." As Akashi gets stronger, he smiles with satisfaction at the sound of the taxi driver returning him to reality in an instant.

"We're up, deck."

"Thank you" said Akashi who immediately paid after seeing himself in front of the fence.

He went down and walked into the house, occasionally watching his hands. His eyes instantly narrowed followed by a motion of shaking his head.

"The limits of the players Kiseki no Sedai," he muttered that immediately opened the door of the house.

The state of the house is still quiet as usual, there is nothing special in the world other than the sound of some servants who welcome his arrival.

"Did you see Ushijima-San is back?" akashi asked one of the middle-aged female servants who was cleaning the living room accessories.

"Oh, young master. Mr. Ushijima was in his room" replied the servant.

"Alright, please get back on duty." Akashi smiled and walked towards Ushijima's room.

And without knocking first, he accidentally found Ushijima who was not wearing clothes because he had just finished changing the bandage on his head that was injured yesterday and a new bandage on the wound on his shoulder.

"Did you really fall while playing Volleyball? Then why are there so many wounds on your body, Oniichan?" asked Akashi who was standing on the doorstep.

"Today I accidentally fell down the stairs for helping the school guard fix the lights at the school." Ushijima went back to looking for reasons to lie.

Akashi looked at him suspiciously, he was not a fool who could be fooled so easily. It is not his business at all if something happens to Ushijima, but nevertheless he has promised to be a good brother to Ushijima. He was also unhappy with the person who lied to him. It feels sick and feels betrayed.

"One thing you should know about me, Oniichan. I hate being lied to by anyone, so just tell me about the thing that hurt you like this."

Ushijima refused to answer, he put his shirt back on, after being treated. Then glared at Akashi, "You promised to be adorable to me, please do your job and don't forget to make coffee for me."
