STEPBROTHER (HAIKYUU X KUROKO NO BASKETBALL SUMMER CAMP)
62

"Let's go all out, Wakatoshi!" eijun shouted while smiling cunningly under the Ring.

Ushijima who was fed up with that smile began to try to dribble the ball in his grasp, although it really did not describe a beginner basketball player but he tried to stay calm. And several times the ball fell off his hand, to make Eijun laugh. However, Ushijima tried to remain calm and tried once more while walking towards the Eijun ring.

Up to the limit point of patience, Ushijima no longer try dribble the ball because it feels futile. Eijun did not move at all, he only gave a look that was considering Ushijima as a lowly opponent.

Ushijima was getting fed up, he clasped the basketball tightly with both hands and stopped his footsteps. Now, he stood in the middle of the field and did not stop staring intently at Eijun.

"You said I could do anything, right?" ask Ushijima back.

"Yes, you can do anything to score from me. I'm not going to force you to dribble a ball that you can never control" Eijun said.

Then Ushijima immediately changed his body position, he smiled with a much more comfortable state at this time.

"Then I'll show you my style of play to score from you," yelled Ushijima who immediately threw the ball higher than his head and started jumping with his right hand which started to swing and hit the ball with full force towards the Ring.

The speed of the ball is really worth taking into account, Eijun to the astonishment of seeing a powerful blow from Ushijima, for him this is the first time to see the ball directly from Ushijima.

Fortunately the ball missed and just bounced on the pole ring alone, before finally failing to enter the hole ring and reflected down.

With an annoyed smile, Eijun took the ball back with a slight bow down and threw it back at Ushijima.

"You really have a good shot, but unfortunately it won't happen again from this second on. I'll break you down and give up!" ketus Eijun who returned stood a little further away from his Basketball ring. He seemed ready to take the ball from Ushijima once again, regardless of how Ushijima scored a number that did not reflect a basketball player at all.

And when the second punch was given, Eijun smiled with satisfaction as if he had guessed the direction the ball was going to land in, because he had used his Emperor Eyes to read the movements of what Ushijima did next and could read the direction of the ball to be hit by Ushijima.

Not only that, he also did not budge from his position at all even though he knew that the ball would enter the ring this time. There was not the slightest fear in him, as if the future was not something to be feared or overcome with difficulty.

With a sly smile, he stared at the ball soaring in front of him while muttering softly. Ushijima could clearly hear what Eijun was saying, he could also see a white reflection shining inside Eijun's eyeballs. Where before, he could see the reflection of the circle-shaped red ring that shone every time Eijun used Emperor Eyes.

"Relock!" he muttered, it did not take a matter of seconds that the ball immediately turned before it could pass over Eijun's head, he seemed to be able to control the inanimate object easily. Some also with Akashi who had to see with his opponent's eyes and it could not be done with inanimate objects at all, as Eijun just did.

"Unfortunately your ball is turning, when you have the opportunity to put the ball into my ring." Laughter Eijun who felt himself had won the game.

Since then, he has spent many times his energy hitting the ball to lead to the ring. But, somehow his efforts are always thwarted by Eijun easily. Not to mention the longer the game Ushijima more draining, he no longer think about the control of speed and power of the ball, he said, the only thing Ushijima thought of was to hit as fast and as hard as possible in order to win this game.

Until more sweat washed down his clothes, not to mention his watch repeatedly sounded to warn Ushijima to come training today, but still he tried not to be distracted and focused on the challenges that lie before him at this time.

"Again," he muttered that he had been huffing from exhaustion, not knowing how many times he had jumped and hit since. But clearly the palm of his left hand has been flushed due to too much hitting the ball, let alone the ball he uses is a basketball that is much heavier than volleyball in general.

"You look exhausted? Do you want to stop, Wakatoshi?" asked Eijun who was not sweating at all.

"You really are a bitch" said Ushijima, who began to jump. Unfortunately he had not been able to jump, suddenly his legs were no longer able to hold Ushijima weight directly damage Ushijima balance.

With a position almost sitting down, he tried to stand back even though both legs began to tremble violently. Plus the sunlight during the day began to dazzle his gaze and further drain his energy.

"You're pissing me off, Akashi Seijuro!" yelled Ushijima who was trying to get back up with determination while staring with anger at Eijun who seemed to show such anger to Akashi Seijuro.

"I wouldn't... I'll never give up on you. No matter how you look at me, I don't expect to be the one you rely on either. But...."Ushijima fell back, trying to get up once again by pressing his hands on his knees until the veins around his neck were clearly visible.

"But I'm going to prove to you that you're never alone. And this time, I want you to look at me and judge for yourself how hard I tried to protect you! Thank me this time," cried Ushijima who was trying harder to stand back up and started running towards Eijun.

"Well how hard you try to calm this game down, you're just gonna fall into the same hole. You will not be able to defeat the power of my Emperor Eyes and the Telekinesis ability of my Absolute Eyes, Wakatoshi!" yelled Eijun who instantly directed his eyes at Ushijima.

In a split second, the world suddenly stopped spinning for Ushijima. His body felt stiff to move and his hair began to creep with the cruel aura that Eijun gave. Not yet had he blinked, suddenly Ushijima's body bounced far back and hit his ring pole until it made a loud enough sound.

It felt really painful, he could only scream in pain and let his lower body touch the ground first. It felt like his body was completely crushed at this time, he had to close his eyes to let the pain spread all over the body.

Until a droplet of fresh blood dripped slowly behind his head, he could feel a pulsating craze in the area and the vision began to blur slightly.

Amidst the agony, he could see clearly Eijun who walked up to him while carrying a basketball. Half-squatted, Eijun returned the ball again to Ushijima with a satisfied smiling face.

"Give up and admit your defeat, and treat your wounds. I hope that from now on you will learn to accept my presence to the fullest." Eijun stood up and walked away, before Ushijima could still see Eijun's hair that had almost half turned white.

But before Eijun could leave from his presence, he immediately pulled Eijun's leg to the ground as he had done to Akashi during training last summer.
