Part 3: Basketball

A/N: I am done with chapter 4 so i thought I might as well just upload chapter 3 :p, it's a relatively big chapter but they finally meet x.

9:07am , The basketball court

Yuji sat on the bleachers with a tall extremly buff guy with his black hair tied in a bun. They were engaged in an idle chat waiting for the coach to come. The other players were huddled in multiple groups around the bleachers talking.

"Did you hear about the new transfer student? He will be joining our basketball team" the tall buff guy, Aoi Todo, spoke to itadori.

"Naah, who is he?" Yuji asked curiously.

"No clue, brother. I just really hope he's not boring like rest of this lot" Todo groaned.

Aoi Todo, 20 years old, was in a year above Yuji at the college. They were best friends since middle school (even though Yuji just met him a year ago and went to a different middle school but that was the story Todo would you). Todo and Yuji were one of the best players on the team and thanks to Todo, he became even better at it. What solidified their friendship was their similar taste in women: Tall women with big asses. Despite Todo looking like a big muscle brain, he was actually quite smart(self proclaimed IQ of 530000) but he absolutely didn't look the part.

"And I really hope he's plays well, I really dont want any newbie monkeys in my team who dont know how to play for shit. I heard he's some rich kid but it makes no difference to me if he can't be of any use to the team" Noritoshi Kamo, the captain of the basketball team interjected.

"He ought to be hella good since he made it into the team so easy" Todo replied.

"C'mon don't be so stuck up, Kamo. I am sure it will be fine" Yuji said with a soft smile .

Noritoshi Kamo and Yuji were cousins. Kamo was only 20 years old but had always bore a big sense of responsibility and honor. He was a little stuck up but he always had good intentions at heart. He was a good looking guy, tall with long dark hair with long bangs adoring his face. At first look he didn't look very ripped or strong, but he had something of a sleeper build. Deep inside, he was actually a goofball, but he would let hell freeze over before he broke his tough-guy character. He felt it as a necessity to keep a strong face. He lived alone with this mother who ran a small restaurant and he did everything in his power to give her a good life; and he succeeded in it by putting in a lot of hard work which paid off. He secured a full scholarship at the college and worked as an assistant at the Blood Research Institute. He, in-fact worked there with Choso who was a Hematologist there. Yuji, just as Kamo, was studying to become a Hematologist there at the college.

"If you say so Yuji, but if he's shit, i am kicking his ass out of the team"

"And if he's boring, i will kick his ass" Todo added on.

"I wonder where the coach is, he's never late" Kamo said with a curious expression, with pointer finger resting on his chin.

"Everybody, gather 'round" an authoritative voice came from the door of the court as Coach Nanami made his way in.

"Yes, Coach" the players said unanimously.

"I have an announcement that I need to make" Coach Nanami said as he adjusted his peculiar looking googles. The players gathered around him under the basketball net and looked at their blonde 31 yo coach.

"What is it Coach?" Yuji looked curiously with a basketball held between his arms and torso.

'Is it about the new student?' Yuji though to himself.

"So as you know, since Muta had to leave the team because of his injuries, we have recruited a new player. He is a new student at the college. He is the brother of one of the trustees but don't be fooled, he has made it into the team solely on his own merit. He has previously played on the state level just like Kamo before he transferred here so he is quite skilled."
