Chapter 7 Kuroko's Basketball Seven
With Akashi's single word, the Lucky Item incident finally came to a close.
The current Teiko has a more tense atmosphere than usual because the national tournament is just around the corner.
The team members' training is going on in full swing, regardless of whether they are new or old members, they are all working hard to show their strength. After all, participating in the national competition, even if it's just a substitute, there's always a glimmer of hope to get on stage. Not only can this gain points and honors for the school, but also because it is an excellent opportunity to improve one's strength.
But in this regard, Harada seems to be not so serious about it, and it's not that he doesn't want to participate, of course he does. It's just that he has a good understanding of himself, even if Akashi saw his shooting ability, he hasn't practiced with other team members, his basketball is almost like solo play. As a new member, he hasn't played in coordination with others, and he himself only occupies the systematic outside position, but dribbling, passing, etc., he doesn't quite understand how to do it. Such a person can't possibly go on court.
So Harada appears very carefree in this tense atmosphere.
Harada is in no hurry, this is just the first year, he still has a lot of time.
But things always develop in an unexpected plot, and he, who was wiping the basketball, felt a shadow cast over his eyes, looked up to see Akatsuki's handsome face.
"Harada, this time for the national tournament you'll be taking Kurosaki Shogo's place. I'll put you in during matches against weak teams, and if you perform to my satisfaction, when we get back from the tournament, you'll officially become a regular."
Harada was stunned by this sudden news and stared at Akatsuki for half a day without reacting.
Kurosaki Shogo, who was standing not far away, heard Akatsuki's words and instantly sank his face, walking gloomily to the front of the two.
"Akatsuki, I also participated last year and got a lot of points. Why did you change to this person this year?"
Akira didn't even bother lifting an eyelid. "You know it yourself."
Kiro Sakaki's tone was cold. "So why did he get to go up? He's just a rookie who still hasn't grown out of his baby hair..."
Akira's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and he said word by word.
"My decision, it's none of your business to question."
"Whoever defies me, I will not allow him to look down on me."
The powerful aura caused Kurosaki Shogo to break out in an uncontrollable sweat, barely holding himself back from retreating. He turned his gaze towards Harada, a flash of malice crossing his face.
Harada sensitively noticed a suspicious gaze and looked at the back of Kizaki Shogo walking away, lost in thought.
Akatsuki's calm demeanor returned, his face expressionless once more.
"Then Harada, from today on, come to Area A and practice with us."
Harada nodded. Then he heard Akatsuki continue, "You need to carefully observe how Midoriya does it, your advantage lies in your accuracy, so I've thought about it, and SG is the most suitable position for you."
Shooting Guard
Harada thought for a moment and felt that Akatsuki was right.
Akatsuki paused for a moment and continued, "For now, come with me to Area A. I'll explain the details later." He didn't say anything else, gesturing for Harada to follow him as he walked briskly towards Area A.
It was clear that several people in Area A had already received Akashi's notice, and when Motomichi saw Haruto following him, he just greeted him and continued to practice. It is said that a serious man is the most charming, which must be a combination of theory and actual experience. Motomichi couldn't help but admit that the few people running and jumping on the court were all emitting an irresistible charm.
Settling down and carefully watching the movements of several people, then taking to the field to practice, Haruta felt that he had gained a lot in one day.
But he didn't realize that the eyes of several others were also filled with joy.
Harada's learning ability is extremely strong, and he can quickly absorb and improve new techniques through observation. Just like a high-quality sponge, he absorbs knowledge and skills at an astonishing speed, turning them into his own advantages, making others sigh in admiration.
Yuan did not realize it at all, but was very grateful for everyone's guidance, which benefited him greatly.
Sincerely bowing his head in gratitude, "Today everyone taught me a lot, thank you all for your help."
Kise smiled and stroked his soft hair, "Don't mind it, Orita is being too polite."
Green glasses nodded and said in a serious tone, "You've done very well."
Qingfeng burst out laughing, "Haha, you're really serious, you've made a lot of progress today!"
Harada smiled, with curved eyebrows and eyes.
Kuroko had to leave early today, so Akashi was left alone on the way home. He declined Aomine's offer to walk him home and decided to stay behind for a bit.
Soon, the basketball court was left with only Harada, and the large basketball court looked a bit empty.
Harada bent down to pick up the basketball that had fallen into the corner, but heard footsteps coming from behind him.
Some of them looked back in doubt to see if someone had pulled something down, but everyone had already left.
The person was very tall, the sunset shone on him and cast a long shadow. The dim light made Yuan Tian unable to recognize who it was for a moment. He straightened up, "Did you forget something?"
That person didn't answer and just walked straight towards him. It wasn't until the person was right in front of him that Harada realized who it was, and with some surprise said "Kasuga...senpai?"
Kazuki Kirozaki's eyes were gloomy and he didn't speak immediately, nor did he make any movement.
The atmosphere felt a bit strange, but he still didn't say anything. Since the other person didn't want to talk to him, why did he have to go and speak to him? Turning around to continue packing things up, he heard the person behind him speak up. "I don't understand why Akatsuki would let you participate."
Ritsu turned around with a smile. "I don't know either, but since I've been put on the field, I'll do my best."
Kurosaki Shogo continued, "I'm much stronger than you."
Ritsu didn't mind, "I know. Seniors are more experienced and skilled at playing ball, so there must be some reason for this, but as long as the seniors continue to work hard, they'll definitely get back on the court."
Kazuki Kurosaki fell silent for a moment after hearing it, then turned and left.
Lv looked at his back and let out a faint sigh.
