Chapter 2

Kagami poked at the buttons on the vending machine and grumbled.

"Damn machine. Gimme my drink,"

In the end, he glanced to the left and right of the corridor before sticking out his leg and kicking the machine.

*Clunk*

Two drinks fell out, one of which he didn't want.

"Red bean soup?" Kagami looked at the label with a grimace.

"That's not allowed you know." A voice spoke. Kagami looked to the right and saw a boy, a few inches taller than him, with green hair and glasses, looking at him with a frown. "You should've reported it if the machine wasn't working."

Kagami shrugged, "Too troublesome. Plus, I already got what I want." He looked at the red bean soup and tossed it to the other boy who easily caught it.

"What's this?"

"Don't want it. You can have it for not tattling to the teachers."

The green-haired male frowned. "How do you know I won't say anything?"

"I don't but you don't seem like someone who'd report petty things like this," Kagami said bluntly. "If you don't want it, I'll just give it to someone else."

The boy looked at the can and his face seemed to relax.

"By the way, it's not any of my business but," Kagami eyed the object under the greenhead's arm. "Is that a frying pan?"

"My lucky item for today," was all the boy said.

"...right." Kagami just gave him a weird look but chose not to comment. Everyone has their own hobbies, even if some are odd, and he doesn't have the right to judge. "See you later, I guess."

With that, he left while the green megane just stood there staring ahead.

'Who was that?'

"Ne, you going to watch the match today?"

"Of course. It's the first string playing, I'll get to see my Kise-kun in action again!"

"Tch, who cares about pretty boy? I can't wait to see Aomine!"

"Ehh? What about Murasakibara?"

"And Midorima!"

"Not forgetting Akashi."

Kagami walked through the hallway hearing all the talk about this game today at school. It was a basketball game.

'I wonder if Kuroko's gonna play. Maybe I should check it out.'

He had sworn off basketball but taking a small peek won't hurt. Mainly, he was curious about the generation of miracles that were going to play.

'Kuroko said they were geniuses but I want to see with my own eyes.'

He entered the classroom and made his way to the back before plonking down on his seat. He overheard a conversation taking place next to him with his neighbor and two other students.

"Our school will definitely win the championship again. The generation of miracles is unstoppable."

"Yeah, I don't think they've ever lost a match."

"But, what about the phantom sixth man?"

"What about him? Everyone knows he's not real. It's just a myth."
