Chapter 86 - Preliminaries, Once Again. (2/2)
It was then someone caught sight of a group of people in black and a dark shade of purple entering the lobby.
The person shook the elbow of his friend and said.
Person One: ”Hey, look.”
Person Two: ”What?”
Person One pointed at the group in black and purple.
Person One: ”Tokiwadai is here.”
A lot of people reacted to the short sentence. Almost all of the people in the lobby turned to look at the group.
And behold, it was what they expected.
A jersey that was immediately recognized as the signature of Tokiwadai Middle School in the Tokyo Middle School Basketball scene.
Teiko and Tokiwadai; the two powerhouses of Tokyo, both teams were strong, but the way they dressed was completely opposite to each other.
Teiko's jersey was white and light-blue, giving a light and refreshing feel to look at, but Tokiwadai's jersey was black and dark-purple, giving out an imposing vibe.
The people in the lobby murmured among each other, as Tokiwadai passed through the lobby.
Person: ”They sure have tall guys in their club.”
Aone and Hyakuzawa towered over everyone in the club, shorter than they were Mibuchi, Yuki, and Shun, and even those two were considered tall for Middle School standard.
Person: ”The third-year Mibuchi Reo and Aone Takanobu are an inside and outside duo. Mibuchi has high accuracy, but when he does miss, Aone is there to rebound the ball.
Doesn't Aone look bigger than last year?”
Aone hadn't grown in height from last year, he was still 187 centimeters, but his frame had widened a little because of his training and growth.
Person A: ”Look, there he is!”
Person B: ”Who?”
Person A pointed at the silver hair in the group of Tokiwadai and said.
Person A: ”Second-year, Kageyama Shun; King Of The Court.”
Person B hadn't heard of the title, so he asked.
Person B: ”King Of The Court, what is that?”
Person A looked at Person B with a surprised expression.
Person A: ”You don't know? Kageyama Shun can play anywhere on the court, play any position, and does it better than anybody.
Plus, he is the point guard for Tokiwadai, so he controls the playmaking for the team, that makes him in charge of the team on the court.”
Person B was a first-year, so he didn't know much about Shun.
Person B: ”Is he really that great?”
Person A laughed at his clueless friend and mocked.
Person A: ”If winning all individual awards along with the MVP last year is not great, then I don't know what great is, plus he scored 100-points in a game once.”
Person B was shocked by the sudden information.
Person B: ”One hundred points!”
The crowd continued to chatter long after Tokiwadai had left the lobby.
