"What's that?"
Kagami Taiga stared in surprise at Midorima below.
Kuroko's eyes trembled slightly as he spoke.
"That's wildness. I've only ever seen it in Aomine and Ryu before. I didn't expect Midorima to have it too."
On the other side.
Satsuki looked at Midorima below and said,
"Midorima looks so dangerous."
Aomine also narrowed his eyes.
"He has miraculous-level talent just like us, so it's not surprising that he has wildness, but..."
Murasakibara Atsushi, watching the match from the other side, stopped his snack from being put into his mouth.
Midorima below was like a venomous snake, giving him a feeling of unease.
Very dangerous.
Himuro Tatsuya asked in surprise,
"Atsushi, can you feel it?"
"Hmm, Midorima gives me a dangerous feeling."
Hearing his words, Himuro Tatsuya thought to himself with envy, jealousy, and resentment,
'Is this talent?'
It was something he had always dreamed of.
Now, seeing others possess it one after another, he felt a deep unease.
On the court.
Ryu watched Midorima return to defense, calculating the changes his opponent had made.
Not only speed and agility, but even the preparation time required for a shot had decreased.
'This guy.'
Offense and defense transition.
Toho Kotei Gakuen inbounds the ball.
Hanafuji passed the ball to Kugawa, hoping Kugawa would trade baskets.
However, as he prepared to break through Miyaji Kiyoshi, he was suddenly attacked by Takao.
Hanafuji, who was originally guarding him, hadn't even gotten into position when the opponent exploited the opening.
Kugawa, double-teamed, was immediately in danger.
He needed to find an opportunity to pass the ball.
The best option was to pass to Hanafuji.
However, this route was constantly being watched by Takao, leaving him feeling helpless.
"Up there…"
Kamimono, seeing Kugawa surrounded, shouted a warning.
Hearing this, Kugawa tossed the ball directly into the air above Kamimono.
Because the opposing center wasn't as tall as Kamimono, Kamimono was confident he could grab the ball in the blue sky.
And he was right.
As the ball soared into the air,
Kamimono and Otsubo Taisuke were already poised to intercept it.
However, Kamimono was significantly taller than Otsubo Taisuke.
Kamimono secured the ball first.
Otsubo Taisuke could only curse inwardly,
'Damn it…'
Kamimono and Otsubo Taisuke then engaged in a spectacular clash of muscles.
The dull thuds echoed with each collision between the two.
However, Otsubo Taisuke was consistently outmatched, repeatedly pushed back by Kamimono.
Finally, Kamimono delivered a powerful dunk right in front of him.
Clang…
8 to 6.
"Damn it…"
Otsubo Taisuke was extremely unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.
"Captain, are you alright?"
Takao and the others rushed forward to ask with concern.
Otsubo Taisuke shook his head.
"I'm fine. That guy's physical abilities are extraordinary. Try to avoid him and don't attack him head-on."
"Yes…"
Shutoku served.
Having experienced the strength of the Toho Kotei Gakuen students,
Shutoku was very cautious this time.
Finally, the basketball was passed to Midorima.
Midorima, unleashing his wild side, revealed his full power, his sinister eyes fixed on Ryu as if eyeing his prey.
Without any warning,
Midorima jumped and shot right in front of Ryu.
Ryu's eyes flashed, and he leaped up immediately after him.
Just as he was about to touch the basketball,
Midorima had already released it.
Just a hair's breadth away.
Ryu landed on the ground, thinking to himself,
'It seems the wild side has greatly improved him!'
Swish…
The basketball once again landed precisely in the Toho Kotei Gakuen's basket.
8 to 9.
Midorima adjusted his glasses, looking at Ryu and speaking,
"You'd better use your full strength. I don't want to defeat you without using your full power; that would be pointless."
Ryu grinned, looking at Midorima.
"Indeed... it seems I was right. Only magic can defeat magic, in other words, only savagery can defeat savagery!"
Hearing this,
Midorima's expression turned serious.
He could sense that Ryu was beginning to change.
A surging, terrifying aura emanated from Ryu's body.
Wisps of red energy flames began to surround his entire body.
Overall, he looked like a person enveloped in blood-red flames.
[The aura of a ferocious beast].
Similar to Midorima's green aura.
Everyone was stunned.
The two powerful auras collided, causing the other players from Toho Kotei Gakuen and Shutoku to break out in a cold sweat.
Just then, it was time for Toho Kotei Gakuen to serve.
Ryu waved to Hanafuji, signaling for the pass.
Hanafuji didn't hesitate and tossed the ball to Ryu.
Thud...
The air around Ryu froze the moment he received the ball.
Midorima felt a deadly threat.
He dared not be careless.
He stared intently at Ryu, preparing to seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
A year had passed.
Ryu's use of [Beast's Aura] was significantly different from when he was in middle school.
It possessed a unique aura, unaffected by any wildness.
The clash of Ryu's and Midorima's auras made the surroundings heavy and oppressive.
It was as if an invisible thread was about to snap.
Suddenly,
Ryu pressed down, breaking through to Midorima's right.
Midorima reacted quickly, immediately stepping aside to block Ryu's path.
However, Ryu's figure vanished in a blur, and then he felt a gust of wind pass by his left.
What?
Midorima's pupils contracted, and he quickly turned his head.
He only saw Ryu's figure disappear in an instant.
So fast…
Ryu trailed a long, blood-red flame from midcourt, hurtling towards Shutoku's basket.
Shutoku's players also rushed desperately towards their own basket.
Otsubo Taisuke and Kimura Shinsuke spread their arms, their eyes locked on the approaching Ryu.
Seeing the two before them, Ryu showed no sign of backing down.
Reaching Shutoku's three-point line, Ryu aimed directly at the basket and jumped to shoot.
Everyone was utterly bewildered by his move.
Ryu was shooting a three-pointer?
He shouldn't be good at three-pointers.
Even Midorima narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with surprise.
Just as everyone was bewildered by Ryu's shot,
Ryu finally released his weapon.
The basketball, with unimaginable backward spin, flew rapidly towards Shutoku's basket.
Thud…
The basketball struck the backboard of Shutoku's court.
Under the force of the backward spin, it bounced rapidly back towards the basket.
The basketball hit the edge of the rim and then began to roll.
One circle, two circles, three circles…
All eyes were fixed on the basketball.
They watched as the basketball spun endlessly around the rim.
Four circles, five circles, six circles…
A full six seconds passed, and the basketball was still rolling around the rim.
Seven circles, eight circles, nine circles.
When the basketball reached its ninth circle, it finally stopped spinning and fell to the hoop.
11 to 9.
For the first time, Ryu used a technique other than [Zero-Style Three-Pointer] in front of everyone.
The entire arena fell silent.
