May 16th came faster than anyone would have liked and the day found the entire Seirin team gathered in front of the gym where the Inter-High tournament was being held, and where Seirin would be playing against Shinkyo that day.

"Looks like the gang's all here," Riko mused with a smirk as she led the team into the gym.

Kagami's eyes were bloodshot like how they were when playing against Kaijo High and he even had dark eye bags beneath his eyes. Kamiko glanced at the taller boy.

"Can't sleep again?"

Kagami twitched. "S-Shut up!" he hissed, causing the sky-bluenette to chuckle lightly.

The entire team was then led into the gymnasium and begin their standard warm-ups before a game, with the spectators slowly filling in and the game authorities began setting up the scoreboard and head table, also checking that the floor of the court wasn't too polished and that the goal is in good working condition.

Hyuuga, who was doing his warm-ups like everyone else, glanced towards the Shinkyo side just then and noticed someone missing. "Dad doesn't seem to be here," The captain commented, inviting some weird looks from a passing authority who is readying the court for the match.

Izuki, who was practicing his shooting, looked around at this comment. "Now that you mention it..." he trailed off.

There was a sound of a bang against metal just then, and a voice groaning with pain. This got the attention of the entire Seirin team, even Kamiko was dribbling the ball with her left hand, not really paying attention to her warm-ups.

A tall guy had just banged his forehead against the doorframe before bending down so as to be able to entire the gym. The eyes of the Seirin team went wide as they saw how tall and large that Dad really was. The dark foreigner was grumbling as he rubbed the bump on his forehead.

"Everything is so short in Japan," he grumbled.

'Isn't that because you're just tall?' the sky-bluenette thought irritably. Her mood isn't at its best ever since the talk that she had with Akashi two nights ago, though it isn't like the rest of her team had noticed since the blue-haired girl doesn't talk much in the first place.

"What are you doing?" Shinkyo's coach scolded Papa as the giant approached him towering over the coach. "Hurry up."

"Sorry, I'm late!"

"Why is that the only thing that you can speak fluently?" One of Skinkyo's players, whom Kamiko recognized as the captain, Tanimura Yusuke, approached Papa. A lone basketball bumped into the back of his shoe just then, and the blonde Shinkyo captain turned around only to see Hyuuga approaching him.

"Oh, sorry," Hyuuga apologized, picking up his basketball.

"By the way, did you really beat Kaijo?"

"It was just a practice game," Hyuuga replied.

"I see. I guess the Generation of Miracles or maybe the Uncrowned Kings isn't as strong as we thought."

To that, Hyuuga narrowed his eyes at the comment, making Kamiko frown.

"The Generation of Miracles lost?" Papa asked in puzzlement, having been listening in on the conversation of the two captains. "They brought me here to beat them. I'm disappointed that they're so weak."

Hyuuga was barely restraining himself from punching the foreign student in the face for looking down on Seirin like that whilst Kagami himself was barely holding himself together.
