(A/N: I will not add the part when he was in Junior High)
Shirota POV
Every day was monotonous; an endless cycle of studying, basketball and tennis practice, gaming, eating, and sleeping. My father is busy, strict, has high expectations, and can't be disappointed since I was born. It was suffocating, and sleeping was the only escape. But it changed when my mother brought me to meet Aida Kagetora, a sports trainer and a former basketball player for the Japanese national team. He has a daughter, Aida Riko, who is a year older than me; she is like a sister to me because of her caring personality. Since then, my mother always drops me off at the Aida household and Kagetora-san takes Riko and me along to the Aida Sports Gym, where we both watched him work. There, Riko and I learned about the muscles and capabilities of the human body and developed our scan ability.
That day, I started to enjoy sports, not only basketball but also tennis. Upon meeting Echizen Nanjirou, Ryoma's father, in the USA, where I won five consecutive grand slam junior tournaments. I was eight years old when I met Ryoma, who desperately wanted to beat his father in a tennis match, and then we had a match in which he lost because I was better than him. We spent training and having matches together, but it didn't last long as I had to move houses. The new neighborhood was not bad to say the least, but I met a weird boy, Kagami Taiga. He has black hair and red eyes. His eyebrows are quite thick and split in two like an angry bird. And there's Himuro Tatsuya, a year older than me and Kagami. His eyes are gray-black, he has slick black hair and one longer side-swept fringe that covers his left eye and has a mole under his right eye. (what a charming boy >//<)
Himuro invited me and Kagami to play street basketball with him. However, Kagami was a beginner, so he and I taught him. So, after a while, Kagami quickly improved, as the three of us made many friends along the way and grew closer to each other. Not long after, we asked Alexandra Garcia, a retired WNBA player who spent her time at betting courts, if she could train us. Alex reluctantly accepted and was annoyed by us at first, but as we got more and more enthusiastic, Alexandra began to enjoy teaching us. Unfortunately, I had to return to Japan from Tokyo and start attending Junior High.
