"Okay everyone we are going to start the viewing for Kuroko no Basketball now," said Mira.

"Nice it's our viewing turn," said Kagami.

"I wonder what we will see this time," said Hina.

["Huh? Is that...is that an issue from back when Kuroko was at Teiko?"
"Yeah. They've got features for each of the miracle generation. But no article on Kuroko," said Hyuga.
"Even though you were the sixth man...no one came to interview you?"
"They did come, but they forgot about me," said Kuroko.
'How sad!!' they all thought.
"But I was never like the other five, anyway. Those five...are true prodigies," said Kuroko.
"Ohh...so this is Seirin. Of course a new school would be this clean and shiny," said Kise.
"Wow. That guy's good looking."
"And so tall...hey, isn't he that one model...?"]

"Wait, how did you find where our school was," asked Riko.

"I just looked it up," said Kise.

["Oh..., not yet! Stay on him...," said Hyuga.
"So fast...!!"
"Whoaa!!"
"Nice dunk!"
"Wow. Going full speed and changing direction on a dime?! So sharp...it's like he turns into a different person."
"Maybe he actually could beat the miracle generation...!"
"Maybe! I think he really could!"
"With those moves...he might even be better than them!!"
' "As you are now, you can't measure up to them," ' thought Kuroko.
"I did say that, but...," said Kuroko.
"Hey! Where's Kuroko? We need to huddle up."
"He's so much trouble sometimes."
"Kuroko!! Get out here!!" said Hyuga.]

"Really you all were just practicing with him and you still don't notice him," said Emma.

"It's always been like that, but after some time we do notice his presence," said Akashi.

["A practice game against Kaijo high?!"
"Yep! This opponent's not lacking...so we'll play our first years too!" said Riko.
"Not lacking, huh?! More like they're a league above...," said Hyuga.
"They're that good?"
"It's a championship school on the national level. They make interhigh every year," said Hyuga.
"Wha--?!"
"Hold on, coach. Is it true, what you said the other day?" asked Hyuga.
"Huh?" said Kagami.
"You didn't hear Taiga?"
"Of course! This year, Kaijo high got Ryota Kise. One of the miracle generation," said Riko.
'The miracle generation!!' thought Kagami.
"Wha--?!"
"Really?!"]

"That is going to be a tough opponent but not impossible to beat just very hard," said Ukai.

"I have said that to my students as well when it comes to assassinating me," said Koro-sensei.

['Never thought my chance'd come so soon. This is great!! I'm pumped!' thought Kagami.
"Isn't this Kise guy also a model or something?" asked Hyuga.
"Seriously?!"
"Wow!!"
"Good looking and a basketball star? No fair!!"
"No doubt...I'm kinda jealous...," said Hyuga.
"That's pathetic!!"
"W-what? Huh?! What's with this audience, all of a sudden?!" asked Riko.
"Oh boy...wasn't expecting this at all...," said Kise.
"That's...."
'A miracle gen-er...why's he here?!' thought Riko.
"Long time no see...," said Kuroko.]

"So you went to you old teammates school, but why," asked Draken.

"Because he disappeared suddenly. We have no idea why too," said Kise.

"I'm sure you all will learn about all that as we watch," said Kuroko.

["Sorry, but, um...uh...I'll be back...just gimme five minutes?" asked Kise.
"It's Ryota Kise!!"
'So he's...!!' thought Kagami.
"Why...why's he here?!"
"When I heard we'd be facing Seirin...I remembered that Kurokochii was going here. So I came to say hi. We were best buddies back in middle school, right?!" said Kise.
"I wouldn't say that," said Kuroko.
"So mean!!" said Kise.
"Wow! There's a ton written about him...he started basketball in his second year of middle school. With his natural physicality and for the game...he quickly rose to starter on the illustrious Teiko team. Though not as experience as the other fear...he's a real all-rounder who continues to learn and grow," said Shun.]

"You must have been really good to become a starter in you second year," said Emma.

"I mean we all specialized is something that also helps us with basketball," said Kise.

["He's only played since his second year of middle school?!"
"I mean, uh...that article's totally exaggeration. It's nice to be counted as part of the miracle generation and all...but honestly, I was the weakest of the group. That's why Kurokochii and I got picked on all the time," said Kise.
"I never got picked on," said Kuroko.
"Huh?! It was just me?! Huh?! Ouch...hey...what the?!" said Kise.
"Sorry to bust up your little reunion. But you can't came all this way without a proper greetings. Come on and face me, pretty boy," said Kagami.
"Kagami?!"
"Kagami-kun!!" said Riko.
"Huh? This is a little too sudden...oh...but you're the one who...," said Kise.]

"Really you challenged him," said Ukai.

"You shouldn't underestimate someone," said Nezu.

["Fine then! Consider this a thank you for showing me some nice moves...," said Kise.
"Gah!" said Riko.
"This could be bad," said Kuroko.
"Huh? Wha--?!" asked Riko.
'Wait, that's actually...,' thought Riko.
"He can take a play he sees...and copy it in an instant," said Kuroko.
'That's more than just imitation! He totally makes the play his own!!' thought Riko.
'How the hell?! That was my move...How'd he...? You're joking!!' thought Kagami.
"Kagami's no slouch either!! He reacted in time?!"]

"Not to bad. You could keep up with him that time," said Aomine.

"What do you mean by that," asked Kakucho.

"Simple. Kise isn't in basketball shoes and he's wearing his school uniform. So he's actually unable to move more freely then if he were wearing gym clothes or his basketball uniform," said Midoriyma.

["Gah!" said Kagami.
'He's smoother than me...with power to match?!' thought Kagami.
"So this is the miracle generation...you've got some wild friends, Kuroko!!"
"This isn't the guy I knew," said Kuroko.
"Wha...?"
"To be honest. I've been naive this whole time. In the few months since we last saw each other- he's...," said Kuroko.
'He's quick beyond belief. This miracle gen-er's talents have evolved even further!' thought Kuroko.]

"So you know that we have grown stronger," said Akashi.

"Yes. I also underestimated how much everyone else has grown. But that doesn't mean I'm giving up," said Kuroko.

["Hm...that was a little...such a let-down...can't even call that a proper greeting. Right. Kurokochii, how about...attending Kaijo? Be my teammate again," said Kise.
"Huh?!"
"I'm serious. I've got real respect Kurokochii. Your talents are wasted at a place like this...well? What do you say?" asked Kise.
"I'm honored that you think so highly of me. But I'm afraid you must allow me to humbly refuse," said Kuroko.
"That's a real stiff way of talking! That's not like you! I thought winning was everything! So why not go to a better school?" said Kise.
"My thinking's changed since back then. More than that, though, I made a promise to Kagami-kun. To help him...beat you guys -- the miracle generation," said Kuroko.]

"You know I'm always up for a challenge," said Aomine.

"There hast to be more to all of this," said Mikey.

["Now that's really not like you. Making jokes like that," said Kise.
"Haha...," laughed Kagami.
'So this is the generation...without a doubt they're amazing...,' thought Kagami.
"Not cool, man...don't steal m lines, Kuroko," said Kagami.
'I can't help but smile when I think there's four more better than him!' thought Kagami.
"As always. I'm not one for jokes. I'm serious," said Kuroko.]

"We are about half way through our viewings so we will stop to have lunch and then we will continue with the viewings afterwards," said Mira.

"Awesome food time," said Mikey.

"I wonder what lunch will be," said Deku.

"Enjoy lunch everyone," said Mira.
