Chapter 8 Kuroko's Basketball Eight

  The national competition is approaching, and the members of the basketball department have entered a state of intense training. To avoid being a burden to the team during actual matches, Harada insists on being the first to arrive and the last to leave every day.

  But I don't know when it started, but the person who went home with Harada changed from Kuroko to Akashi.

  Kuroko, who was originally going home with Motomichi, didn't know what he said to Akashi and neatly patted his butt before leaving, leaving Motomichi alone facing a certain hypocritical wolf in sheep's clothing.

  Anyway, Akatsuki and Harada's relationship became more familiar than before.

  Everyone has seen Ogata's efforts, and there is no objection to Ogata participating in the national competition as a new member of the department.

  Finally, after long preparation and eager anticipation, the crowd welcomed the first match of the national tournament.

  As a worthy champion and top seed team, the host also gave face to let several mediocre teams give Emperor Light a warm-up.

  Xin Chang is a team with moderate strength and potential, but when they found out their first opponent was Teikyo, they were extremely depressed and frustrated, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, wanting to cry but unable to shed tears.

  It seems they haven't even started yet and it's already over.

  But ————

  Xin Chang, who had already lost all will to fight, was taken aback when he saw the lineup of Imperial Light on that day, and then infinite anger and fighting spirit rose up.

  Only saw the players of Tianguang on the field did not start, all were freshmen.

  Never mind about others, look at that brown-haired guy on the court, he's only around 1.7 meters tall! (......Akashi isn't either.)

  Since Emperor Guang looks down on us so much, let's see if you will capsize in the ditch. We won't show mercy to those who are under our hands.

  I firmly believe that my level, although not particularly strong, is at least better than those of a few kids. You people's thinking isn't wrong, Emperor Light's first-year students are generally still immature - but you think that someone who has been through the Miracle Era and has an invincible external hanging system is vegetarian?

  So, people of Xin Chang, your determination is admirable, but your imagination is naive.

  When the referee blew the whistle, Xin Chang's people did not disappoint and grabbed the ball, dribbled, shot - unfortunately, it didn't go in.

  While getting the ball, the Teikyo player passed it to Harada in perfect sync. As soon as he received it, he shot and scored.

  Xin Chang's teammates were secretly encouraging themselves, it's okay, just bad luck.

  Then grabbed the ball again, shot, and still didn't go in.

  Teikō's play was very peaceful, and after getting the ball, he just kept passing it to Haruka, who quickly shot and scored.

  What's going on?!

  It's still possible to deceive oneself and others at the beginning of a new habit, but...

  Splash!

  Splash!

  Splash!

  What is this eerie and frightening goal rate... When did Teikō have a godly pitcher, or was it in first grade?

  It's worth noting that Midoriya Izuku, although almost every shot is a hit, it's because he has calculated and doesn't shoot without being sure. But this first-year student is different, he completely disregards his own position, grabs the ball and shoots without even stopping to think. And yet, such a shooter can still be accurate to the millimeter.

  The crowd watched in amazement as the ball flew out of the freshman's hands time and again, not even needing to look, each one flying obediently into the basket.

  Thus the new normal, which was unprecedented and unheard of in this year, was defeated without any resistance, losing miserably.

  Looking at the disheartened new recruits, some of the Emperor's Light Squadron members couldn't help but comfort them by telling them an even more brutal fact - a month ago, Harada made 100 consecutive free throws.

  So the people of Xin Chang were comforted. At the same time, they were delighted to see Emperor Guang's next opponent - our Xin Chang is heroic, you can't escape either.

  In the corner of the audience seats where no one noticed, a flashbulb flashed quietly.

  For Haruta, who was on the field for the first time and supported the whole game, he is already very tired now. However, thanks to his diligent practice recently, he finally didn't have the previous powerless phenomenon, which is really a joyous occasion.

  Drinking the water handed over by Akashi, Harada felt like he had come back to life.

  And the usually strict and serious Akatsuki's eyebrows slightly relaxed, showing a hint of softness that was easy to see. He naturally rubbed his head and praised him, "You did very well today."

  Harada shook his head, "It's everyone working together."

  Xing Shi Lang's majestic red eyes were tinged with a subtle smile.

  After that, everyone went back to their own homes and found their own mothers. After all, this was just the easiest first game. In order to have a smooth journey later on, they still had to conserve their energy as much as possible.

  It was only when Hara arrived at school early the next day that he found it strange that his classmates were staring at him with a kind of frenzied gaze. Even several girls came over excitedly and asked him, "Hara-sama, can you give us an autograph?"

  What's going on?

  Harada somehow wandered into the classroom and found that his classmates were all looking at a magazine. Curious, he went over to take a look, and was immediately surrounded by a group of girls.

  "Ah, Harada-san is so cool!"

  "Can I take a photo with Harada-san?"

  "Harada-kun..."

  "Harada classmate..."

  Harada hastily escaped from the encirclement of the girls, wiping away his sweat in fear, what's going on here?

  Then our dear classmate Kuroko lovingly held out a magazine in front of Hori.

  Harada's mouth twitched as he looked at it, with one photo after another of him on top, front-facing, side-facing, shooting, running...

  "Yuan Tian's Personal Profile Exposed"

  The more he looked down, the more violently the blue veins on his forehead jumped...

  "Gender: Male;"

  Hobby: Vanilla milkshake; How did you know?

  "Specialty: Basketball. (Also, according to our senior reporter's on-site investigation, Mr. Yuan is a godly shooter with 100% accuracy.)"

  "PS: The most important thing is that Otara-kun has no bad habits. What the hell, are normal people supposed to have them?"

  "In short, Mr. Harada is a must-have for every household and the only good man of the new century. So, single girls, don't be careless! This magazine offers you sincere blessings!"

  When he finished reading, Yoshida slammed the magazine onto the desk and scowled.

  "And congratulations, Rukuto, on becoming the dream lover of all Japanese girls."

  Harada felt very sad.
