"Hey, hey, hey! This isn't a joke, really?"
Takao stared incredulously at the group from Rakuzan below.
Midorima adjusted his glasses and said.
"This isn't difficult for Akashi, who possesses the Eye of the Emperor."
...
"Atsushi! That should be Zone, right?"
Himuro Tatsuya stammered.
Murasakibara replied.
"I didn't expect Aka-chin to be able to get his teammates into this state too, it's quite surprising!"
"Don't you know?"
Himuro Tatsuya asked curiously.
"Ah! I know, but there's something different."
Hmm?
Hearing Murasakibara's words,
Himuro Tatsuya became increasingly confused.
"Different?"
Hmm...
Murasakibara nodded.
"Akashi's passes have the effect of improving his teammates' shooting touch; anyone who receives the pass will perform better and better. It's just that for some reason, he hasn't used it since."
...
Aomine grinned.
"This is getting much more interesting. What are you going to do now, Ryu?"
...
On the court.
Ryu looked at the five players in Rakuzan's half of the court.
Two electric snakes flashed in the corners of each of their eyes.
Their aura was also significantly stronger than before.
"Everyone, stay focused! They can't maintain this momentum for long."
As the captain of the Toho Kotei Gakuen, Kamimono naturally stepped forward to stabilize morale.
Hearing his words,
the Toho Kotei Gakuen players also perked up, ready for battle.
Even without Kamimono's reminder, they would instinctively become more vigilant.
Possessing considerable strength, they naturally felt the oppressive aura emanating from their opponents.
Soon.
Akashi, dribbling the ball, led Rakuzan and the others in a charge.
Sizzle…
Crimson lightning raged.
A majestic and imposing lion phantom, its eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty glint, displayed the unparalleled dominance of the king of beasts.
Roar…
A deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth.
An invisible sonic wave erupted from the lion's mouth, impacting Ryu and the others.
"What power this is!"
The members of Toho Kotei Gakuen were horrified.
Ryu didn't hesitate, immediately activating [Beast's Aura].
Crimson energy flames swirled around him, instantly splitting the oppressive aura emanating from Akashi in two.
Akashi smiled.
"As expected of you, Ryu! But I'll take control of the game for now."
His words had barely left his lips when the Emperor's Eye flashed with a dazzling light.
It quickly detected a fragment of the future and then flicked the ball to Nebuya Eikichi, who had found an open space.
Ryu could only stare helplessly at Akashi, who was two meters away.
Nebuya Eikichi received the pass.
He felt an inexhaustible power within him.
Facing Kamimono.
A smile appeared on his lips for the first time.
Without any attempt to dodge.
Right in front of Kamimono, Nebuya Eikichi caught the ball with both hands, jumped, and dunked.
Kamimono jumped to block.
However…
Clang…
A dull thud echoed throughout the arena.
Accompanied by the mournful thud of the Toho Kotei Gakuen's basket.
Rakuzan's scoreboard rose by 2 points.
65 to 57.
Kamimono landed back on the ground, staggering backward a few steps, narrowly avoiding a fall.
He stared in disbelief at Nebuya Eikichi, who was hanging from the basket.
His opponent, who had previously been superior, now possessed such power.
Could the Zone really improve him so much?
A flicker of envy crossed his eyes.
Toho Kotei Gakuen inbounded the ball.
Ryu dribbled the ball himself.
Now, to stabilize the score, he could only rely on himself.
But before he could even cross the center line,
Reo Mibuchi and Kotaro Hayama blocked his way.
It was a pincer movement!
Seeing this,
the others from Toho Kotei Gakuen were all shocked.
Ryu let out a low snort, his silver eyes narrowing.
His originally silver eyes now seemed to be covered by a layer of transparent ice crystals.
[Ice World] activated.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Countless ice crystals rained down from the sky.
They pierced the bodies of Reo Mibuchi and Kotaro Hayama.
Ryu calmly passed through the gap between the two.
What?!
Reo Mibuchi and Kotaro Hayama's eyes widened in horror.
They couldn't move?
The two were now like two statues, unable to move an inch.
'damn'
Hayama Kotaro cursed inwardly.
'Is that the power of his eyes? That's ridiculous.'
Reo Mibuchi recalled the Emperor's Eye.
He smiled bitterly to himself.
'What kind of monsters are they?!'
Ryu broke through the double team and continued charging towards Rakuzan's basket.
Just then.
A figure suddenly appeared beside Ryu.
The newcomer was Rakuzan's number 5, Akashi's chosen new dream sixth man, Chihiro Mayuzumi.
As soon as Chihiro Mayuzumi appeared, he swung his hand towards the basketball in Ryu's hands.
Ryu snorted coldly.
'Child's play, visual manipulation won't work on me.'
As soon as he finished speaking.
His forward-dribbling motion suddenly began to stretch and rotate backward.
What?!
Chihiro Mayuzumi was startled by Ryu's action.
At this moment, Ryu's feet were pointing straight forward.
His body was twisted to the right at a 90-degree angle, and the basketball was moved behind his legs.
The overall effect was utterly unbelievable.
'Is this guy made of water?'
Chihiro Mayuzumi was gripped by self-doubt.
Ryu ignored his thoughts.
He forcefully twisted his body, using the momentum to try and get past Chihiro Mayuzumi's defense.
However, just then...
A hand suddenly appeared behind Ryu.
Huh?
Ryu's heart tightened, but he couldn't stop himself now.
As his rotation changed, he quickly saw a familiar face.
'Akashi…'
All eyes turned to Akashi and Ryu.
'Is he going to get the ball stolen?'
Kagami watched the scene unfold intently.
Since Ryu entered his memories, he had always appeared invincible.
This gave him the illusion that Ryu was unbeatable.
Seeing Ryu about to be intercepted by Akashi,
he felt a strange sense of anticipation.
Once Ryu lost the ball, it meant he wasn't invincible.
Besides him,
the members of the Generation of Miracles were also watching intently.
Under everyone's gaze,
Akashi's steal ultimately failed.
Ryu used [Cupid's Wrist] at the crucial moment, passing the ball before it could be stolen.
Huff…
Perhaps it was just his imagination,
a sigh seemed to come from the stands.
A hint of regret flashed in Akashi's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"It's still not enough, huh?"
His gaze towards Ryu was complex, but also an undisguised fighting spirit.
Ryu grinned.
"Seijuro, don't forget, my eyes aren't just for freezing people; their observational skills are just as sharp as your Emperor's Eye."
"I see."
Akashi also grasped the key point.
However, he immediately added:
"But it doesn't matter anymore. The moment you passed the ball, our attack was already won."
The other half.
The basketball landed in Kuroki Ryuichi's hands.
He tried twice to break through Hayama Kotaro's defense by changing his rhythm, but was blocked both times.
The two engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle outside the three-point line at Rakuzan.
'Damn it! I can't get in.'
Kuroki Ryuichi gritted his teeth, constantly changing his pace.
'Sorry! That's how it is with a captain who's a bit of a bug. I'm not someone you can handle right now.'
Thud...
Taking advantage of Kuroki Ryuichi's momentary lapse in concentration, Hayama Kotaro successfully stole the ball.
'Damn it.'
Kuroki Ryuichi realized this and quickly turned to chase after him.
However, Hayama Kotaro's speed was now more than twice as fast as before.
Kuroki Ryuichi used all his strength to gradually close the distance.
'Even his speed has increased this much.'
When he finally caught up with Hayama Kotaro,
He were already under the basket of Toho Kotei Gakuen.
"Sorry! I wasn't planning on scoring!"
Huh?
Before Kuroki Ryuichi could understand what Hayama Kotaro meant, he saw Kotaro throw the ball with one hand, tossing it overhead.
"Muscles!"
A loud, deep shout rang out behind Hayama Kotaro.
Appearing with the shout was Nebuya Eikichi, a dark-skinned man with a muscular physique.
Nebuya Eikichi leaped up, caught the basketball tossed overhead by Hayama Kotaro, and then slammed it into the basket.
Clang...
The basketball hoop wobbled.
The ball went in.
65 to 57.
