Rakuzan's Indoor Basketball court was busy, with some warming up before the start of training led by Nebuya and Hayama. And the rest who have not had the opportunity to enter the field can only stand in the corner of the field while providing the balls in the basket. Usually they are first-class children who have not had the opportunity to set foot on the field or are given the right to wear basketball uniforms in addition to official sports clothes from school.
Meanwhile, in a changing room in the corner of the field, Akashi is still busy folding his school uniform. This time, he was ready to wear the Rakuzan uniform officially as a regular player and Captain Rakuzan. It seems like the individual training he had done with Mayuzumi and Rei over the past few days restores Akashi's confidence, besides, he also knew that Eijun's existence in him could be the most powerful weapon to hide his fears at any time.
"Sei-Chan, are you ready to assess their abilities?" mibuchi asked as he closed his private locker.
Akashi smiled and stood up, "Mibuchi-san, please handle them first. I have something to do now!" he said that he immediately left without explaining anything at all.
Mibuchi who does not know what is being intended by Akashi can only obey, after all, he had a hard time reading the mind of the captain.
Meanwhile, Akashi leaves the basketball court indifferently. He did not even touch the smiles of his first-class sisters and classmates who were looking friendly.
And his footsteps brought a captain Rakuzan into the Volleyball training building which at that time was also busy training for Preparation of Summer High School volleyball competence which will be held first before the Competition summer High School Basketball.
"Hey, Akashi! What are you doing here?" tanya Sora who has the position of Captain Volleyball Rakuzan.
Akashi just smiled kindly, he had no desire to talk to Sora. In fact, he immediately walked up to one of the third-grade seniors who was focused on being a Spiker against several second-grade children of his class Akashi.
"Good Afternoon, Henry Liu-san." Akashi really greeted the senior, he did not care at all about his presence even disturbing the concentration of Volleyball players.
"What are you doing there, Akashi? You are disturbing my members of the training," lamented Sora who was not happy to be ignored by Akashi.
"I have no business with you, Sora-san. And I also have no intention of interrupting your Volleyball practice, I just want to talk to Henry-san."
Henry who listened to his name mentioned twice could only glare sharply at Akashi, he never once found such an arrogant person like his junior.
"Unfortunately I don't have any business to chat with a haughty Junior like him, Sora." Henry resists Akashi's insistence, but he is still busy playing Volleyball.
"Have you heard, Akashi? So, better get out of here." Sora smiled triumphantly, but Akashi was not an unyielding person when he got the target he wanted.
He even entered the Volleyball area in front of Sora as the opposing team, then he smiled with confidence.
Henry who was fed up with Akashi's smile and eyes, especially when he saw Akashi's Rakuzan basketball uniform, made him even more upset.
"I'm really sick of seeing basketball members like you, you guys are just school rats who have to go the extra mile to win trophies. Totally nauseating!" cursing Henry who can not hide his frustration, no matter what happened in the past but his bio is already on the list of names of former members of Rakuzan basketball that was given by the coach.
Akashi himself did not mind Henry's words, who cares about the words of the cowards who decided to leave Basketball. Perhaps that is what Akashi Seijuro is currently thinking.
And at the same time, Henry jumped and prepared to receive a blow from the setter who immediately hit the volleyball into the area of the opponent with a very high jump beyond the jump Kagami. The ball was immediately hit at a very high speed, it seemed like this was the best blow given by Henry to finish off Akashi.
However, Akashi was not at all overwhelmed. With his emperor eyes, he could guess the direction of Henry's punch and as hard as he could he jumped to block the ball that immediately bounced back into Henry's area to make all the Volleyball members who were there were stunned.
With a slight feeling of numbness in the hand, Akashi smiled with satisfaction. He could feel a powerful blow from Henry that could be an advantage for his basketball team, but Henry who is still dark eyes feel unhappy when getting the ball successfully blocked by Akashi plus the reaction of his friends is sickening.
"You deserve the nickname Captain Kiseki no sendai, Akashi. Not only academic or basketball, you can also play Volleyball and block Henry's greatest weapon." Sora blatantly praised Akashi, though he added a displeased look in his words.
"You must keep your word, Henry-san." Akashi immediately left the Volleyball field, but he did not forget to fill his hands as if asking Henry to follow him now.
"I borrowed your member first, Sora-san." Akashi smiled with satisfaction watching the entire tense expression in the room. And Henry who felt the fire inside him was getting boiling forced to inevitably have to keep his promise and follow Akashi, not to forget also he asked permission to Sora as the captain of volleyball who ruled there.
Right in front of the building's entrance, Akashi waits for Henry. Not usually he likes to wait for others even if only a few seconds, but this time he is willing to wait for Henry.
"What do you really want to talk about?" ask Henry.
"I heard that you used to have great basketball players in your country, but all your greatness and fame were lost when you chose to move to Japan because of the presence of kiseki no see. And damn it, you also have to give up being a regular member while attending Rakuzan and decide to switch as a Volleyball player. Why Henry-san... Why are you so weak?" akashi asked without sifting through his words.
"Fuck you, Akashi! It was as if you thought I was that weak," said Henry, who directly landed a punch of his hand on Akashi, but the blow only hit the building door as Akashi quickly avoided it.
"Don't hurt your hand, Henry-san. You will definitely need both hands to dribble the basketball later" Akashi said.
"What do you mean?" henry asked confused with a hint of anger in him.
