"Emperor Eye!"
Kuroko spat out these words.
"Heard you mention the terror of the Emperor Eye before, but how powerful is it exactly?"
Seirin people hadn't seen it yet.
"Able to nullify all offense and defense, super strong vision, even able to see clearly the opponent's breathing and muscle activity. Finally, through the opponent's various irreversible body reactions, make absolute predictions." Kuroko said the most terrifying words in the calmest tone, "And that is the 'future' seen by the Emperor Eye!"
Future?
Such a word sounded scary just hearing it.
If the Emperor Eye was really that terrifying, how did Yuuto break it back then?
"Can you be specific, Kuroko?"
"Probably like what Kise-kun imitated."
Like Kise?
In the match against Seiho, Kise indeed displayed an extremely high level of offensive and defensive strength.
Even.
Even Yuuto was suppressed by him in that match; correcting many times was useless.
Other Seiho players were knocked down as soon as they met him; strong to an incredible degree.
"But at that time, Kise-kun achieved the effect closest to the Emperor Eye's prediction by imitating the opponent and deducing in reverse. But Akashi-kun's Emperor Eye doesn't need imitation; his eyes can see everything."
Hearing this, everyone was horrified.
Such an ability simply made it impossible to imagine the possibility of his failure.
"Your eyes are very special." Akashi's eyes flickered, locking onto Yuuto firmly.
"Can't compare to you for now." Yuuto wasn't afraid.
Back then, he broke the opponent's absolute prediction; the Emperor Eye wasn't an unsolvable problem.
However.
That was built on a certain amount of correction time. The current Seiho had no one who could provide him with enough time to persist for half a game undefeated.
And.
He didn't intend to be timid; he wanted to defeat the opponent in front of him thoroughly.
"Can't compare for now—does that mean it's possible to reach the level of the Emperor Eye?" Akashi heard the subtext.
The two fell into silence. Unknowingly, 17 seconds of the offensive clock had been consumed, leaving only the last 7 seconds.
"Can't see the Dead Spot."
Yuuto's Mystic Eyes observed the whole court constantly, but the red mark symbolizing "Dead Spot" never appeared.
This meant his brain's analysis of Rakuzan wasn't sufficient.
The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception claimed to be able to kill all things, but the premise was to be able to completely analyze the object.
Only by completing the analysis could irreversible effects be created.
"Since that's the case, let's do it the hard way."
While thinking, Yuuto had exchanged glances with Tsugawa Tomoki.
Seiho's perimeter lock came directly around to set a screen for Yuuto.
"What's the use? That's Little Akashi!"
Tactics like screens were like jokes in the eyes of the Emperor Eye.
However.
With a whoosh, without any warning, in the moment Kise (Akashi?) returned to his senses, Seiho had already hit the ball into the paint.
"It's that pass from the match against us..."
"Strictly speaking, it's even faster. This is the true face of that pass."
Midorima widened his eyes under his glasses; he actually couldn't see Yuuto's passing motion just now.
Even they couldn't see the pass; other players were even more imaginable.
"But Akashi's Emperor Eye should be able to see it."
"That guy seized the fleeting moment when Akashi shifted his gaze."
Aomine also didn't see clearly, but the moment Yuuto released the ball, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
The Emperor Eye had a weakness.
Not absolutely perfect.
That is, the field of vision of the Emperor Eye isn't 360 degrees without blind spots.
"Seized the moment Akashi shifted his gaze?"
"Doesn't that become just like Kuroko's Vanishing Drive?"
Seirin people were dumbfounded.
Although not a breakthrough, the method adopted was the same.
"Nothing strange about this. Kuroko's Vanishing Drive was originally taught by Yuuto; he himself is very good at seizing such opportunities."
Teppei Kiyoshi nodded, thinking it was reasonable for Yuuto to know such techniques.
He focused on another point: "Even that kind of pass that eyes can't catch at all requires a screen. Thinking about it this way, I understand the terror of the Emperor Eye a bit."
Everyone reacted only after he said so.
Yeah.
Yuuto's monster-like pass needed a screen and seizing a fleeting opportunity to release the ball. What kind of existence was this Emperor Eye?
While discussing, Iwamura had already received the pass and used two continuous turns to shake off Nebuya Eikichi, putting the ball in for the first field goal of the match.
"This guy..." Nebuya Eikichi felt disgusted.
This feeling was almost the same as facing Tōō a week ago; the opponent knew him like the back of their hand.
"Isn't this completely seen through?" He couldn't help complaining.
"Didn't Akashi remind you long ago? What are you complaining about now?" Hayama Kotaro roasted mercilessly.
...
"Besides, wasn't Tōō defeated by us too?"
"Right. Teaming up with you is really embarrassing, like a gorilla with an underdeveloped brain."
Mibuchi Reo's mouth was even more poisonous, making the Muscle Dharma jump in rage.
"Enough, now is not the time for jokes. Focus on the match."
"Yes."
"Got it, Akashi."
"Okay, Sei-chan!"
As soon as Akashi spoke, the three shut up immediately.
Offense and defense transition.
Akashi dribbled past half-court and distributed the ball to Hayama Kotaro.
The latter intended exactly this.
"You are that first-year who guarded Kise to death, right? Let me see your ability."
...
The opponent wasn't a nobody; he dared not relax at all.
"Eh, same dribbling as our captain."
"Yabai (bad/dangerous), so fast. Yabai, really fast."
"Almost got passed by you; so close. Hey, can you go faster?"
Tsugawa Tomoki performed normally. Hayama Kotaro felt his words were already dense, but didn't expect the buzz-cut in front of him to be even more hateful.
Yelling "Yabai" one by one, yet defending him so hard he couldn't advance a step.
"Sure enough, you have all our intel. But Tōō guys were also taken down by us." Hayama Kotaro didn't retreat.
So what if intel lagged behind comprehensively?
They won against Tōō under such circumstances; they had rich experience.
Since the next moves were predicted, then do the opposite. And...
"Roar!"
Wildness aura spread from Hayama Kotaro. In an instant, his skill and dribbling became even faster.
Akashi watched from not far away, his expression suddenly fluctuating.
Under the prediction of the Emperor Eye, Hayama Kotaro was blocked again.
As expected.
The moment Hayama Kotaro started, Tsugawa Tomoki moved in advance to block the position.
"Wow, can actually be faster!"
"You are so strong!"
This guy!
Hayama Kotaro's expression stiffened; this was something that didn't happen even when facing Tōō.
"Even factors like Wildness were predicted." Momoi opened her eyes wide.
Yuuto's prediction ability hadn't just reached her level, but completely surpassed her.
This was the fused Mystic Eyes; various abilities went a step further.
