I was shocked but I didn't show it in my face. "No, I don't mind,..."

He introduced himself. "My name is Akashi Seijuro." He bowed.

"Well nice to meet you Akashi-san. I am Kuroko Tetsuya." I bowed back. Ugghhhhhhh.I don't want to do this. But I know that he will take the spotlight, so thats good I guess. 

Everyone partnered up and the coach blew the whistle. pffftt! 

"Alright! Everyone has a partner," He looks around. "Good! Let's get started. The first test we are going to test your passing ability and  then we are going to put you against each other." 

The whole gym was filled with nervous chatter after hearing that announcement. I mean yeah you would be nervous if you are going against your friend. I scowled mentally. I was starting to not like how they do things here.

"Now line up on the cones." The coach pointed at the cones lined up across the court. "Now!" he shouted. We shuffled along stopping next to a cone.

"Ok. Now the first group to reach 50 in passes without dropping the ball get to choose if they want go first or last in the next test. GO!" Some flinched while some dropped the ball already. But Akashi and I are passing the ball to each other calmly already on 10.

"So Kuroko-san," Akashi started. "Why are you here in this tryout? You don't seem like the type to play sports. You look more like person who stays inside and read books."

Well what are you doing here period head. You don't seem the type to hang out with us mere mortals. I mentally mocked. "While I do love to do things like read books, I love basketball the most Akashi-san." I replied instead. We reached 30 passes while talking. 

He hummed. "What do you love about basketball Kuroko-san?" My eyes light up. "I love the teamwork the players show and their determination in playing even if they lose. Does Akashi-san love basketball?" I answered.

Akashi answered, "Yes, the strategies made to execute a plan and techniques caught my attention and that is what I want to do for my team."

 "So do you know how to play basketball at least Kuroko-san?" He asked. I deadpanned. "No I only know how to pass. No other skills whatsoever." Akashi eyes flashed but it went away quickly before I could read it. I mentally broke down. Please buy it. Shige-kun will scold me if I was exposed this early. I mentally cried.

We reached 40 and we focused on finishing. It looks like Akashi is unpleased by the information. When we reached 50 Akashi has the ball and waited. Coach reached us, "Why did you stop? Keep going!" He demanded.

"We reached your 50 passes quota." Akashi calmly answered but has a dark aura surrounding him. Seems like he doesn't like to be ordered around. The Coach sweated profusely. He straightened then cleared his throat.

"W-well then o-ok. P-please wait for the rest to finish." Coach stammered then ran away. I sweatdropped. Your an adult your not supposed to be scared of your own student. I turned to Akashi.

"Akashi-san is a bully." He flinched and turned to look at me in shock. "No I am not Kuroko-san."

"You bullied the Coach and scared him away." I pointed out. He sighed. 

"Doesn't matter let us get ready for the next test." He stretched and I joined him. After 20 minutes everyone finish the passes.

"Alright! Now the next test is to test how well your against each other. First group to finish please step up." Coach yelled.

Another cliffhanger. Have to think what to do next. Will Kuroko show his true powers earlier than expected or will Akashi find out along the way?
