It was not only Izuki, everyone in the gym looked at Hikki's eyes in shock, no-one could quite figure out what had transpired for Hikki to posses such eyes.
The said boy didn't worry about the expressions, instead looking at Izuki's body, he could see everything.
The miniscule things were the boy's sweat droplets everywhere on his body, the little arm and leg hairs which shouldn't be visible to the naked eyes, the rise and fall of his chest, Izuki's muscle movements, muscle contractions, rhythm and body tensions.
To Hikki, nothing was out of his field of vision. Another clear thing he could see was what the opponent was going to do. He can predict the movements of his teammates and opponents.
These, were the Eyes Of The Valiant King!
As Hikki dribbled forward, he sudddenly retracted the ball behind his back, making everyone think he was doing a behind the back pass towards Mibuchi, making two of Kazami's players run to Mibuchi to intercept the pass and stop the three point opportunity, however...
The white haired boy swiftly rotated his body slightly as he hit the ball with his left elbow to the jumping, Momoharu's hands...
"Nice pass!" The blond exclaimed as he caught the ball and slammed it down into the basket with force, the sound resounding throughout the gym.
"YEAHH!!" exclaimed the boy as the shock was evident on everyone's faces.
'Was that, an elbow pass..' Thought Hasaki.
'...into an alley-oop!?' Hyūga finished the thought.
Still hanging on the rim, Momoharu smirked before dropping down and looking towards the white haired boy.
'I didn't even know I was capable of that!' The blond haired boy thought while looking into the red eyes of his friend.
"Great job Momoharu." Spoke the boy with a smile.
"Awesome dunk, Momoharu-kun!" Ogiwara exclaimed.
"It really was a sight to see, even I was shocked." Mibuchi stated.
Masahiko was in a place of his own, his full attention is taken by his wandering mind.
"Thanks guys! I didn't even know I had that in me, it was like I could jump even higher than how I usually do, as if my body restrictions were lifted somehow." Momoharu stated.
"That is because of me, an ability which comes with my eyes is Royalty's Domain, where my teammates are able to lift any restrictions by your body and you're able to exert 80% of your full capabilities." Hikki stated as his team widened their eyes.
"I'll give a full rundown of all the abilities after the game to the team."
Still in a state of shock, Kazami Junior High took possession of the ball as Rinnosuke inbounded the ball to Izuki. Izuki crossed half court before dacing Hikki, who had a composed look on his face as he witnessed everything with the King's Eyes.
'I can see, everything! Nothing can escape my eyes!' Thought the white haired boy as he looked at Izuki handling the ball.
'Right, no, left.' Hikki thought as, just as he had predicted, the black haired boy attempted a fake drive to the left and a real drive to the right, however, before he could move, the ball was taken away from him.
As Hikki snatched the ball out of the boy's hands, he crossed half court as Izuki immediately got back on defense to face the white haired boy.
