Chapter 60 - ||Awakening|| (2/2)
Aiwa's shooting guard: ”Shit!”
Naturally, Shun made the free-throw, completing a four-point play.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-
At the bench, one of the members was keeping the tally of the points scored by each member.
He was using tally marks to keep score, added four points under Shun's section, and then his pen stopped.
He looked at the score and saw that there were exactly twenty sets of five-points under Shun's name. He was so engrossed in the game that even though he was marking the marks, he wasn't keeping a total score in his head.
Member: ”H-Hundred p-points.”
He looked at the coach and yelled.
Member: ”Coach! Kageyama-kun scored an h-hundred point.”
Every member on the bench looked at the tally keeper as he was mental.
The coach asked for the clipboard and read the points under Shun.
Coach: ”Hahaha, he really did go overboard.”
The bench cheered so loudly that the referee had to glare and shout at them to stop them from yelling.
The coach looked at the score by the quarter and saw.
Coach: 'Twenty-two points in the first half, thirty-four points in the third quarter, and forty-four points in this quarter, and there are still two minutes to go.'
The game score was 148-59 in Tokiwadai's favor.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-
With two minutes in the game, Shun looked at the score and decided that it was enough.
He looked towards Hanamiya and decided it was time.
Hanamiya had collected himself back together even though he was still a bit sluggish. He looked at the score and saw a point gap of almost ninety points.
Hanamiya: 'I need to stop them from scoring more. I need to close the gap even if it one point.'
Hanamiya was desperate for points, so he asked for a pass.
Aiwa's small forward passed the ball to him.
Hanamiya moved forward, but after a single step, he was sent flying to the ground.
Hanamiya was shocked from his sudden fall and furiously looked at who fouled him.
He looked up to find Shun again looking down at him, but this time he had extended towards him.
Hanamiya extended his hand to Shun's hand, but at that moment, Shun retracted his hands and walked away.
Hanamiya could only sit there with his hand extended. He also heard Kaitani laughing at him from a distance.
Hanamiya had never felt so humiliated in his entire life.
Shun was charged with a blocking foul. Including this foul, Shun now had three fouls.
Shun: 'Three fouls mean I have two more times I can hit that bastard.'
-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Hanamiya again had the ball, he looked around and saw that Shun was running towards him.
Hanamiya dribbled forward, but as he got three steps forward, he felt someone grab his shirt, and then he was yanked down to the ground.
He saw Shun with his both of his arms raised where everybody could see them.
Hanamiya: ”What the f**k are you doing?!”
Hanamiya tried to get up, but then he saw a fist coming his way.
When Shun saw Hanamiya trying to get up, he pulled back his hand, clenched his fist, and then moved his arm towards Hanamiya.
Hanamiya cried out and covered his face to avoid getting hit, but the hit that he was expecting didn't come.
He lowered his hand and saw Shun smiling at him.
Shun knelt and whispered to Hanamiya.
Shun: ”Next time before playing dirty, think about the consequences. Someone just might have enough of your play style, and get their hands dirty themselves.
It was only me this time. Next time, a whole team might solely target you.”
Shun patted Hanamiya on his cheeks and then pushed him back, so that he was yet again laying on the ground.
The referee gave Shun a blocking foul and a technical foul, leading to Shun being ejected from the game.
Shun walked to Tokiwadai's bench and was subbed out for another player.
Even though he was only going to only play for a few seconds.
Shun sat down and looked up to find the coach looking at him.
Coach: ”Now I know why you did that at the end, but we are still going to talk about it on the bus, so be ready for a long chat on the bus.”
Shun smiled tiredly and nodded.
He was tired and didn't want to argue with the coach.
The game ended with none of the team scored after Shun got ejected from the game.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Shun just ended his chat with the coach on the bus. He was tired from playing in the practice game and wanted to rest.
Shun closed his eyes, and suddenly he was in front of a door.
Shun looked at the door and thought.
Shun: 'This is not the zone's gate.'
Shun walked to the door and saw a lock on the door. He extended his hand to the lock and held it. The lock unlocked the moment Shun touched it.
Shun held the handle to the door, pushed the door open, and stepped inside.
Inside was a room. The room was dimly lit, and there was nothing in the room, but a single chair or a better word for it a throne.
Shun felt an attraction to the throne, so he walked to it and sat on the throne.
The moment Shun settled down on the throne, he knew exactly where he was.
Shun: ”The room that only Generation of Miracles and Kagami could enter.”
The door that Shun saw earlier was the door Kagami forced open when he finally gained a weapon of his own to play against the miracles, his jumping ability. [2]
Shun looked around and saw that there were no other thrones in the room.
Shun: ”I am the only one who has entered the room yet. I wonder when will the others get in.”
Shun closed his eye and fell into a slumber.
