Chapter 160 - Ryuo Arrives (2/2)

They saw Shun just standing there with the same smile on his face.

Shun didn't speak one word as he let Yuki do all the talking.

He was walking just behind Yuki, who was talking to Ryuo's coach when he heard.

Hayama: ”Hey, you are Kageyama Shun, right?”

He glanced to the side to see Hayama Kotaro with an energetic smile on his face.

Shun thought if he should ignore him, but decided to answer.

Shun: ”Yes, and you must be Hayama Kotaro.”

Hayama nodded and asked.

Hayama: ”Are you excited about the game? I am very excited. I heard that you are very strong.”

Shun nodded and replied.

Shun: ”I am always excited for a game, and I have also heard a lot of things about you, Hayama-san.”

At the same time, he thought.

Shun: 'I just don't like the timing of this game.'

Hayama placed his hands behind his head and asked.

Hayama: ”Who do you think would win today?”

Shun didn't even need to think about an answer.

Shun: ”I can guarantee that we would win.”

Hayama laughed and spoke.

Hayama: ”We will have to see about that.”

They reached the first-string gym.

Yuki gestured to Ryuo's coach.

Yuki: ”Please follow me. Our coach is waiting to meet you.”

Yuki led Ryou's coach away, while Shun and Ryuo members stepped inside the gym.

Ryuo's members looked inside the gym and saw a few views that caught their eyes.

The gym was divided into three courts with three green nets flowing from top to bottom.

In one of the courts, they saw two giants playing against each other, pushing each other to keep the other down.

Ryuo's center's eyes widened as he saw Aone and Hyakuzawa playing against each other.

Ryuo's C: ”T-Tall.”

Ryuo's center was 185 centimeter, so both Aone and Hyakuzawa outmatched him when it came to height.

Shun chuckled as he commented.

Shun: ”Ah, the one with white hair is Aone-san, he is retired, so you will not get to play him today, but the taller one is Hyakuzawa, he will be playing today.”

Ryuo's center gulped and asked.

Ryuo's C: ”How tall is he?”

Shun smiled and answered.

Shun: ”190 centimeters.”

As the center took in his competition, the small forward of the team was looking at the center court, where a speedy player weaved his way through the players.

He dribbled between two players and put a floater over a third player.

Shun introduced the player.

Shun: ”Kaitani Riku, he will be today's small forward.”

Hayama looked at Kaitani and commented.

Hayama: ”He is fast.”

Hayama was, of course, faster and nimbler than Kaitani, but he could see Kaitani's skill.

Shun nodded and commented.

Shun: ”That is his forte.”

A lot of eyes were on the last court, where a lot of Tokiwadai players gathered near a player with silky black hair, who was teaching them to shoot.

Hayama immediately recognized that person.

Hayama: ”Night Demon, Mibuchi Reo.”

Shun smiled as he commented.

Shun: ”He too retired, so you will not be able to play against him, but don't worry, we won't disappoint you.”

Shun stepped forward and shouted.

Shun: ”Everybody! Ryuo Middle School has arrived. Greetings!”

All the first-string members stopped and greeted in unison.

All: ”WELCOME!”

Shun turned back and said.

Shun: ”Welcome to the Tokiwadai Middle School Basketball Club.

We look forward to a great game.”
