STEPBROTHER (HAIKYUU X KUROKO NO BASKETBALL SUMMER CAMP)
55
It was getting dark and the announcement from the OSIS room called on all extracurricular members to immediately end their activities.
And it just so happens that this time the Basketball organization is also close to completing the assessment selection. However, the figure of Henry has not come to this moment.
It was obvious that Akashi was beginning to hesitate to determine the members he would include as the First Team, though the plan he will put Henry as the First team and Carloz as the reserve first team that will play alternated in the middle of the game later.
But not Akashi, if not working with professionals. Calmly, he intends to end that hope because forcing others is also not right. And before Henry's form paper was completely discarded, he suddenly found Henry's figure in front of the door and walked calmly toward Akashi.
"You came too, Henry-San." Akashi smiled with satisfaction, he returned excited and full of confidence because he had managed to influence Henry. Unlike the members of his team who feel shocked when they know Henry's presence there, as they remember Henry is also a member of Volleyball at this time and never thought for them to invite Henry back into the Basketball World.
"Not to overdo it, Akashi." Henry stared displeasedly at the captain, then he took turns staring hatefully at the other basketball members.
"Stop looking at me as an enemy, your stares are so annoying." Henry immediately turned his gaze towards the Basket and picked up the new ball that was still clean, then he threw it at Akashi.
"You humiliated me earlier, now I want to repay my debt of defeat to you. If you manage to break into my arms, I'll accept your offer."
"How dare you test Sei-Chan," complained Mibuchi.
"Why indeed? He is also a captain, certainly must be more powerful than its members. Are you afraid that this captain of yours will get me humiliated?" asked Henry in a annoying tone.
"Calm down, Mibuchi-senpai. I will definitely be able to defeat him, this is something easy." Akashi did not lose his confidence, he handed the form to Mibuchi and fixed his shoelaces.
In the corner of the field, Akashi could hear Carloz's voice yelling in his encouragement.
"Defeat him, Captain! If you lose, I won't admit you again as my Captain."
"Woy, are you encouraging or threatening anyway?" asked Hayama who was feeling annoyed back with Carloz's nonsense.
"Can you see it? I'm encouraging our captain, you're so stupid you don't realize that."
"You can shut up! Please just focus on the Sei-Chan match, don't comment too much." Mibuchi was fed up with Hayama's debate and Carloz's noise.
Meanwhile, Akashi is getting ready to fight with Henry, this time he had no intention of releasing his Eyes Patch and would only rely on the Emperor Eyes and the ear power he had just trained in the past few days.
"It's great how the ball dribbles compared to you, Hayama. Is it possible that he's better than the crownless king?" carloz asks who really intended to make fun of Hayama when he saw Henry's dribble show.
Then wisely, Henry took the right area that became a blind spot for Akashi to seize the ball. It seems like Akashi's ear skills were not sharp at the beginning of the game, he still needed a lot of warm-up and a little time to adapt to the match and let his hearing sharpen along with the length of the match.
"Did you have trouble taking it from me?" henry asked with a satisfied laugh, he immediately ran while dribbling towards Akashi's power ring.
So far, Akashi has been unaffected by anything and his emotions are still stable. He tried to observe the game well and let Henry score twice in a row.
Until finally Akashi began to smile cunningly while running towards Henry who was dribbling to score his third.
But the position of Akashi who ran while closing his eyes clearly made Henry and the other members who were watching so confused, they wondered why Akashi closed his eyes.
"What are you doing?" ask Henry.
"What do you think I'm doing?" ask Akashi, then followed by the hand of Akashi who so easily snatch the ball from Henry's hand.
Where Akashi could feel the reflection of the ball that landed on the field, he could even listen to Henry's breath that was starting to feel a little tired because it spent a lot of energy to play Volleyball before coming here.
Henry, who starts to get annoyed as if being played by Akashi, uses his speed to get to Akashi and jumps high to prevent Akashi from putting the ball into the ring. And it looks like his palm that hit the ball made the ball fail to be inserted and thrown to the edge of the field.
Henry smiled in relief and looked proudly at himself, he could see Akashi's annoyed face that was barely making a figure.
"What is just this kind of ability of an Akashi who is predicted as a great player? Ah, it must be a shame for a coach who glorified your name two years ago." Henry starts making fun of Akashi.
Akashi who began to dribble again tried to remain indifferent to all of Henry's provocations. But unfortunately, once again he failed to break into the ring Henry who was able to jump higher than Kagami.
Akashi, who had failed twice, began to feel tired. The defensive walls of his entire emotions were also on the verge of the limit, not to mention the hopeful gazes of his members and the never-ending shouting of asking Akashi to win was also a factor that made him depressed.
Surely it made Akashi began to feel shrouded in feelings of fear and fear of failure, he felt angry with the eyes of his members who continued to look at him expectantly.
"Huff.t...." Akashi regained his breathing, then he ran fast, relying on his Emperor Eyes to take the ball back from Henry's hands.
Long enough for Akashi to let Henry dribble the ball to the right and left side before him, he himself is also trying to focus on relying on the power of Emperor Eyes in his left eye. Until finally he began to be able to read the entire movement of Henry, now the blunt side of the power of Emperor Eyes Akashi began to sharpened well.
Relying on one eye does not make Akashi feel difficult to use Emperor Eyes, he is now beginning to understand that his training a few days ago routinely has a good effect to make him accustomed to using the power of the eye again.
"You shouldn't underestimate me" he whispered, who could immediately read Henry's next move, not waiting for a long time Akashi was able to block the ball that was in the hands of Henry.
Obviously the actions Akashi is doing now managed to stop the momentum that was owned by Henry, he actually managed to make Henry stunned by the power he had.
"You do have a high jump, I highly acknowledge your talent. But you still need thousands more years to defeat me, Henry-San." Akashi smiled and ran towards the ring, Henry trying to catch up where the two chased each other and dodged each other.
Unfortunately Henry's luck had begun to fade, he failed to snatch the ball from Akashi's hands. And Akashi also no longer makes the same mistake, trying to dribble the ball while avoiding a position that is a blind spot for him.
Calmly, he had reached the opponent's area and started jumping to perform a Jump Shoot towards Henry's ring.
"I won't let you score a single number!" shouted Henry who also jumped to the right of Akashi to touch the ball so as not to enter the ring.
And just then, Akashi took off his Eyes Patch and turned to Henry. He tried to use every second to prevent Henry's actions that he had known before with the prediction of Emperor Eyes.
Coincidentally at that time, Henry was consumed by Akashi's trick where he spontaneously returned Akashi's right-eye gaze with his right hand trying to touch the Ball which was currently preparing to soar into the ring.
"You will always lose to me" said Akashi who somehow immediately made Henry sculpt and shudder in horror, the energy in him as if drained out in an instant to make him fall before he could touch the ball.
His head felt dizzy and the look on his face seemed to indicate that he had just seen something terrible, his mind became chaotic and frightened by Akashi's words just now.
Until the horror he felt was stopped when he heard the cheers of the members who enjoyed Akashi's success in scoring first, Akashi only smiled proudly and reached out his hand to help Henry stand up.
"There are still two more numbers that I have to print to match you, you also have to score two more numbers to win from me. Stand up!" akashi's orders that make Henry begin to realize how terrible Akashi is, he begins to understand that the news that has been heard in his ears is not a mere rumor. And he can feel the soul of victory and leadership in Akashi, deserved all this time the coach always glorified Akashi who was still Teiko Team and had not entered the High School in Rakuzan.
"Damn, he just scored a number. But he has managed to silence my arrogance, is this really what it's like to face the captain of Kiseki no looka?" cursed Henry who immediately slapped Akashi's hand and chose to stand alone. To him, Akashi is just a Junior and he will never bow to Akashi at any time.
