The current **Aomine Daiki** has clear eyes.
Those clear eyes are filled with nothing but basketball.
This extreme love for basketball made him incredibly powerful, but at the same time, it also made him develop fear later on because he was too strong and couldn't find the joy of confrontation.
Yesterday, he was completely immersed in his own game and didn't know the situation on other courts.
It wasn't until his childhood friend **Momoi Satsuki** told him that he learned there was a defensive beast in the basketball club.
Aomine Daiki instantly became interested and wanted to have a man-to-man one-on-one with **Tendo Keigon**.
"I like your unruly look."
"Ah?"
"Nothing. Let's play a game if we get a chance. I also really want to play against you."
The guy in front of him, who was dark all over, is **Teiko**'s future ace.
He also wanted to see how he compared to the talent monsters of this world.
"That's great then!" Aomine smiled happily, revealing his pearly white teeth.
His pure smile was blinding to Tendo Keigon, an adult whose heart had been dyed black by society.
"Don't talk during warm-up."
"Tendo, Aomine, run five extra laps!"
Ah?
Aomine instantly couldn't smile anymore.
Tendo Keigon pursed his lips and ran the five extra laps without saying a word.
"Senior **Nijimura** is too strict. We just said two sentences, and his eyes were so fierce!"
By the time the two finished the extra five laps, they were covered in sweat.
"Because Senior Nijimura used to be a delinquent, you know."
A pink-haired girl quietly approached the two.
"Satsuki!?"
"Is Senior Nijimura really a delinquent? Real or fake?"
A thick fire of gossip rose on Aomine's face.
Knowing his childhood friend, she had been gossiping since she was little and knew everything others didn't.
She was like a walking encyclopedia.
"Of course. The most delinquent thing he did was riding a stolen motorcycle for a joyride!"
"No way? That strict senior doesn't look like a delinquent at all!"
Aomine seemed to have discovered a new world.
His gaze towards Nijimura Shuuzo changed, involuntarily imagining a pompadour hairstyle on Nijimura Shuuzo.
Delinquent looks on TV were all like this!
He inexplicably burst out laughing.
Tendo Keigon actually knew a bit about Nijimura Shuuzo's past, so he wasn't surprised.
Just as he was about to say something, something seemed to float past in front of him.
"Hmm?"
"What's wrong, Tendo?"
"Didn't something just float past in front of me?"
"Where? You're overthinking it. Did you hallucinate from being too tired after the extra five laps? That's too lame!"
Tendo Keigon couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him. He was sure he saw it correctly.
Because there were bullet comments sliding past in front of him again.
'Hahahahaha!'
'**Kuroko**'s presence is too low; he ran right in front of Tendo and he didn't even know.'
'His expression is so funny, cute to death!'
'Hehe, the cat didn't see wrong. Kuroko really ran past in front of him.'
'Neither Aomine nor Satsuki noticed; only Tendo saw it. Does Tendo love Kuroko too much?'
'Rotten girls (fujoshi), go die somewhere else. Don't ship everything; you'll get poisoned sooner or later!'
'It should be a talent in vision, right? Tendo is quite good at steals. If he can't see accurately, he can't steal steadily!'
'The best Robbing Spear (pun on stealing the ball/gun)!'
It really is Kuroko.
Tendo Keigon turned his head to look seriously, and sure enough, he saw Kuroko running around the court alone.
Clearly tired, yet he insisted on not giving up.
Unlike Tendo Keigon, he was directly deemed by **Shirogane Kozo** as having no basketball talent.
When dividing the strings, he was thrown into the Third String.
What kind of place is the Third String?
The reserve of the reserves.
If you perform well in the Second String, you have a chance to travel with the team, stepping half a foot into the main roster.
Then the Third String can only watch, with absolutely no chance to appear on the court.
From Kuroko, Shirogane Kozo couldn't see any shining points.
Stamina, endurance, speed, explosive power, jumping, confrontation, etc., were all sewer-level.
Simply put, basketball is not suitable for him.
For such a player, Shirogane Kozo wouldn't even let Kuroko play in some exchange matches between schools.
The only freshmen worth looking forward to this year are Tendo Keigon and the others.
By the way, where are those two guys, Tendo and Aomine?
Shirogane Kozo was urging the club members to train when he realized Tendo Keigon and Aomine weren't in the team.
Scanning the gym, he found those two idiots were chatting, and Aomine was laughing there like a fool.
"Tendo, Aomine, return to the team immediately."
"Got it!"
Tendo Keigon withdrew his gaze and ran to practice.
These few segments of daily training really didn't have any screen time worth leeching off.
Acting like a warm-hearted big brother running with Kuroko didn't fit his character setting either.
But even without leeching, bullet comments flew in front of his eyes from time to time.
Tendo Keigon knew that Kuroko's gaze would look over here from time to time.
...
Club activities ended.
Coming out of the changing room after changing clothes, he saw **Amanai Riko** standing there with her hands on her hips.
"Making a beautiful girl wait so long, do you have any gentlemanly demeanor at all?"
"Asking a young man who aims to dominate the country to give up club activities, are you stupid?"
Amanai Riko glared.
Tendo Keigon rolled his eyes.
The simple bickering between the two triggered bullet comments to float by.
Eh, why are there bullet comments?
Tendo Keigon turned his head to see if Kuroko was peeking.
As soon as he turned his head, he found Kuroko beside him, unknown when he arrived.
"Ghost!"
Amanai Riko and Tendo Keigon jumped out the door with horrified faces, their synchronization rate as high as 99%.
"Kuroko!!!"
"Tendo-kun, and..." Kuroko looked at Amanai Riko, and not knowing her name, could only say, "Hello!"
"Hello my ass! Don't scare people like that, and then say hello with a nonchalant face."
"But I've been here all along."
'Kuroko didn't lie, I can testify.'
'That's right, he came to find Tendo to go home together.'
'Hahaha, no matter how many times I watch it, their reaction is so funny!'
'Tendo's heartbeat accelerated to 10086!'
"If I don't live to be a hundred, it must be your fault, Kuroko!" Tendo Keigon complained ruthlessly. "With this level of presence, you can turn invisible, right? You don't happen to have a friend named Harry Potter, do you?"
"Idiot, if he knew Harry Potter, he wouldn't even need an invisibility cloak to be invisible. He must have Invisible Woman blood!"
Tendo Keigon and Amanai Riko both stared wide-eyed at Kuroko; they were both scared.
The corners of Kuroko's mouth raised slightly. "You guys have a really good relationship. Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Relationship really good?
Are you blind?
Amanai Riko rolled her eyes at Kuroko. Snapping back to reality, she realized that because she was too scared just now, she unconsciously hugged Tendo Keigon, and they hadn't separated yet.
"Stay away from me, you scumbag!"
"Stupid woman, don't hug me casually!"
