CHAPTER NINETEEN - WE'RE THE SEIRIN HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL TEAM!

"ARE WE REALLY DOING THIS?"

"Yeah. Anyway, are you guys ready? Once we do this, there's no turning back." Kiyoshi informed. "All right."

"We swear an oath!" Kiyoshi shouted, getting the students attention from below. "We, the basketball team, will participate in this year's national tournament to become the best team in Japan! Class 1-E, No. 7, Kiyoshi Teppei!"

"Huh? What'd he say?"

"What are they doing?"

"We have a basketball team?"

"Sheesh." Izuki muttered. "If this doesn't work, we'll be a joke."

"Who cares? It seems fun." Koganei stated as him and Izuki rushed to stand next to Kiyoshi.

"Class 1-C, No. 3, Izuki Shun!"

"Class 1-B, No. 8, Koganei Shinji!" Koganei shouted after him. "Class 1-B, No. 17, Mitobe Rinnosuke!"

"We've done it now." Izuki claimed.

"I feel like we've made a breakthrough, though." Koganei said as Mitobe nodded.

"Hyuga's not..." Izuki started to say.

"Wait!"

"It looks like you got through to him, Kiyoshi." Izuki stated.

"Huh? What are you talking about, you moron? You don't have my sympathy at all. Going on about your pretty little sentiments. So you've lost hope before... but so what? You still have a lot left!" Hyuga claimed. "An ordinary man like myself and a prodigy like you are nothing alike. Let me tell you one thing. I hate you. That's why I don't want to lose to you at the sport I love."

Hyuga's hair was short and was dyed black.

"That's all."

"Yeah... I won't lose either." Kiyoshi said.

Hyuga stepped forward to the railing. "For the basketball team, same as above! Class 1-C, No. 28, Hyuga Junpei!" He called out.

"Hyuga-kun..." Riko mumbled.

A teacher soon opened the doors. "Hey, what are you kids doing?! It's time for the morning announcements!"

"You think kids who can't follow the rules can become the best in Japan?"

"What'd you say?" Hyuga asked in irritation, throwing his shoes somewhere. "Don't underestimate us! We'll do it! If we don't, I'll confess my feelings buck naked!"

Hyuga's claim shocks Kiyoshi, Izuki, Koganei, and Mitobe.

"Yeah, do it!"

"You'd better keep that promise!"

Riko soon begins to laugh. "What an idiot. I don't believe this." She said. "I'm in. Let's see you guys do it."

"Thanks for waiting. Here's the training menu you asked for." Riko unfolds a large paper on the whiteboard.

"Come on, now... This menu will kill us."
