"Tokyo, Seiho?"
"Yeah, I plan to continue playing after high school. Seiho is my next stop."
At night.
Yuuto told Sora and Haruka about his decision.
Seiho High School.
Located in the northern part of Tokyo, known as the Northern King.
This school had a very long history, tracing back to the Shogunate period a thousand years ago.
Initially an educational institution for children of samurai families. Later, it evolved into an academy similar to a noble school today.
Many people in Japan advocated the pitiful Bushido spirit.
Therefore, Seiho had passed down its traditions for a thousand years and derived the "Namba Run" signature move of the basketball club today from ancient martial arts.
"I want to go too." Sora's thought was simple.
Where Yuuto was, she would be.
Her world had shrunk from three people to only two left.
Haruka Kasugano thought about it.
He felt Seiho was indeed a good place to go.
On one hand, the basketball club was strong, one of the famous Three Kings; Yuuto wouldn't be mistreated there.
On the other hand, Seiho itself was a noble school with strong faculty; Sora could get a better education there.
As for himself...
"In that case, I'll come along too."
He still couldn't rest assured about these two genius younger siblings.
As for his girlfriend, in front of these two geniuses, she didn't seem that important.
"What about Nao? Isn't she studying in Kyoto?"
Yosuga no Sora (reference character Nao Yorihime) was a year older than them and had already entered high school this year.
"Her... it doesn't matter. Anyway, communication and transportation are very developed now."
"Is that so? I thought I could finally get rid of you, the third wheel."
"Third wheel!"
Sora added from the side.
Haruka Kasugano felt a bit stifled, but he was more mature.
He knew the two meant well, wanting him to seek his own life and happiness.
But he felt that as long as the three of them were well, that was happiness enough.
Last year.
When his parents' siblings learned of their situation, they once planned to adopt one of the two siblings.
At that time, he felt the sky collapsing, fear sweeping over his whole body.
Fortunately, Yuuto brought back over ten million, allowing them not to separate.
So.
"So, what do the two geniuses want this useless brother to make tonight?"
"I want to eat salmon."
"Hot pot. Eating hot pot in summer is refreshing."
Still geniuses? I think you two are just pure idiots.
After an unknown amount of time.
A Chinese-style hot pot and a salmon were placed in front of Yuuto and Sora.
"Eat up!"
Preparing these things took him a lot of time. But the family being together and happy was enough.
...
Another period passed.
The High School National Tournament also began.
As the largest annual national sports meet in Japan, the Inter-High included multiple events like basketball, football, baseball, volleyball, tennis, badminton, etc.
Therefore.
Middle school, high school, and university tournaments were held separately because there wasn't enough manpower.
This was also why the National Tournament schedule was so tight.
After finishing middle school, next was high school.
Yuuto came to Tokyo this day.
Sora didn't follow; she had to prepare for final exams, wanting to get a special admission directly like Yuuto.
"Yu-kun!"
As soon as he arrived at the arena, Momoi Satsuki pounced on him with extremely high intensity.
She wore a short skirt and a beret today—very youthful and energetic.
"Satsuki? Why are you here?"
"Because today is Seiho's game! I guessed you would definitely come to see what level your high school team is at." Momoi had a smug look of I saw through you.
She couldn't be kept in the dark about the affairs of those six big boys, as she had been watching them all along.
Almost the next day, she collected the news that Yuuto would join Seiho in high school.
"The new semester hasn't started yet; you know so much."
"What about those guys? Where did they decide to go?"
Yuuto asked about the high school teams of the Generation of Miracles.
"Dai-chan went to Tōō, Akashi-kun went to Rakuzan, Ki-chan went to Kaijo, Mura-chan went to Yosen, and Midorin went to Shutoku."
Momoi told Yuuto the news of the Generation of Miracles like listing family treasures.
"In other words, in Tokyo next year, you will have to face Dai-chan and Midorin directly, Yu-kun."
She guessed that the Tokyo area would definitely be fierce next year, but she didn't expect three of them to come at once.
This way.
The three National Tournament spots for the Tokyo area in the next three years would likely be occupied by Seiho, Tōō, and Shutoku.
Just like the original work, the Generation of Miracles all went to their original teams.
"Don't be so sure. Maybe there will be other variables? For example, Seirin."
Seirin?
This dark horse team crashed and burned in the National Tournament (Inter-High).
After defeating the strong enemy Shutoku, they lost to Tōō, had their Dao Heart shattered, and failed to break out of the round-robin.
But in the Winter Cup, this Seirin basketball club established only this year went all the way to the end and won the championship.
If the manga author didn't end it and kept drawing, Seirin might actually achieve a three-peat.
Momoi blinked, "Does Yu-kun know something? Could there be a team capable of shaking your status?"
"Who can say for sure about these things? Let's go, the game is starting."
...
They soon arrived at the scene.
Coincidentally.
Seiho's opponent this year happened to be Seirin.
At this time, Seirin's starting players and head coach were all first-year students.
...
Seirin's basketball club was founded with the arrival of Teppei Kiyoshi; this was their first time participating in the National Tournament.
"Isn't that Senior Teppei Kiyoshi? I didn't expect him to go to Seirin."
Momoi flipped through her little notebook and found there wasn't much intelligence on Seirin.
But possessing the Iron Heart, one of the Uncrowned Kings, this team shouldn't be bad.
She thought too much.
Seiho showed the foundation of a King as soon as the game started.
Shio Yamashita knew about Teppei Kiyoshi's existence before the game and arranged for Tsutomu Iwamura to mark him heavily.
"Height 1.87 meters, weight reached 87 kilograms, very low subcutaneous fat, muscles trained quite solidly. Just like Old Man Yamashita said, a very hard-boiled center."
Yuuto locked his eyes on Tsutomu Iwamura.
The distance was a bit far, so the data he got wasn't accurate, but he could vaguely see the body stats of these future teammates.
Strength probably exceeded 90 points, speed attributes around 80, but not reflected in sprinting and explosiveness, more in reaction ability.
Iwamura's defense against opponent shot selection was impeccable.
Next was Ryuhei Kasuga...
Yuuto looked roughly. If a player's full score was set at 100.
Then Iwamura and Kasuga could be given 80+.
National-level players, and meticulously cultivated by a powerhouse, possessing the special skill Namba Run, plus Shio Yamashita's tactical support.
Seiho's goal was clear: strangle the inside line Teppei Kiyoshi. Once Seirin collapsed inside, the outside line would naturally follow.
This made Seirin play quite uncomfortably... yeah.
