Chapter 31 - End of Day three (2/2)

Now go home, the gym will remain closed today. I don't want you guys to overwork yourselves, so go home. Understood?”

Everybody: ”Yes, Sir!”

When Shun reached home, he took a long bath to wash away all his fatigue from today.

He changed into his favorite over-sized shirt and shorts and went to his room to study.

He started on his daily study session, the Nationals were held during the regular weekdays, so the basketball club members were required to attend supplementary lessons after the Nationals to catch up.

Shun didn't like to be behind in his studies, but he couldn't complete a day's worth of study in his one and a half-hour self-study session, but he could at least make sure to cover up the most he can in that time.

He talked to his parents at the dining table.

Shun: ”We are going to be playing Momoi-san's school in the finals tomorrow, Teiko Middle School.”

Shun's mother was extremely happy that her child had made it to the finals of a national level competition. She was surprised to hear that Satsuki's school had also reached the finals.

Dad: ”So, both schools are from Tokyo this year.”

Shun: ”Yeah, Teiko is a strong team this year. Did you know; that this year four of the five starters on the Teiko team are first-years. Teiko was already a national level school, but this year they are extremely good.

Are you guys coming tomorrow to see the match.”

Mom: ”Of course, we are coming. I am not going to miss my baby boy's big game.”

Dad: ”I will also be there. I want to record the whole game, so make sure to win.”

Shun smiled, and they talked about tomorrow and the game.

Shun helped his father with the dishes and then went straight to bed.

As Shun lay on his bed, he thought about tomorrow's game, and a wide smile made its way on his face.

Shun: 'I will finally get to play them. The generation of miracles, I wonder how strong would they be, will I be able to stop Kuroko, will I be able to score against Murasakibara, will be able to outscore Aomine, will I be able to outsmart Akashi.

Oh crap, I am too excited to sleep.'

Shun rolled in his bed for a couple of minutes, till sleep finally took over him
