Chapter 94 New Chapter
Chapter 94 A new chapter
“Really? I told you guys not to see him off.” Kaneki Ken looked at the people who came to see him off and smiled helplessly.
“Who said we’re here to see you off?” Aomine Daiki said unconvinced, “We’re clearly here to see Senior Nijimura off.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll send you off, Nijimura-senpai~” Kaneki Ken didn’t bother to ask further questions, and hooked his hands around the necks of Murasakibara Atsushi and Aomine Daiki, “Thank you very much, Aomine, Murasakibara, I’ll definitely have a good fight with you guys when I come back.”
“Actually, I would be happier if Ken could make up for the potato chips he owes me.” Murasakihara Atsushi turned his head away and didn’t look at Kaneki Ken.
“Haha, okay.” Kaneki Ken smiled and patted Murasakibara Atsushi’s back, “When I come back, I’ll pack you a year’s supply of potato chips.”
“Yan-kun…” Tao Jing Satsuki walked up silently and took out a pair of arm guards from her bag. “You are leaving, and I don’t know what to give you. I wanted to buy you another pair of sneakers, but considering that it might not be convenient for you to carry them, I will buy you a pair of arm guards…”
“Thank you, May.” Kaneki Ken happily took the arm guard, “I like it very much.”
“You must always keep me with you, Ken-kun…” Tao Jing Mayu stammered, her eyes reddening again, “Don’t forget me…”
“How could that be, idiot.” Kaneki Ken pulled Momoi Satsuki into his arms and comforted her, “I promised you that I would beat up Aomine as soon as I got back~”
“Ah? Why is it me again…”
Aomine Daiki wanted to say something but was interrupted by the broadcast in the terminal.
“Flight KLM8375 to Las Vegas has started ticketing. Passengers on this flight please proceed to Gate K5 for boarding…”
“Okay, let’s go back quickly.” Kaneki Ken pulled up the luggage in his hand, “Senior Nijimura, let’s go.”
“Here I am.” Nijimura Shuzo smiled and said goodbye with his eyes to the juniors who came to see him off, then followed Kaneki Ken into the security check passage.
“Oh, Kaneki is really leaving this time…” Aomine Daiki sighed as he watched Kaneki Ken gradually disappear from his sight, “From now on, Teiko Junior High School will belong to me, Aomine Daiki~”
“Let’s go, Aoki.” Murasakihara Atsushi watched Kaneki Ken’s figure gradually disappear, took a deep breath, turned around and left.
“Hey, Murasakibara, wait for me!” Aomine Daiki hurriedly followed.
“Slow down, Xiao Zi, A Da!” Tao Jing Wu Yue stomped her feet in anger and followed.
“Since you’re here, why don’t you go up and say a few words?” In a corner, Midorima Shintaro looked at Akashi Seijuro in confusion and asked.
“There’s no need to go. Since Kaneki doesn’t plan to make it public, I’ll only cause him more trouble if I go there now.” Akashi Seijuro stared at the backs of Murasakibara Atsushi and the others who were gradually going away. “What we have to do now is to lead the team on the road to continuous victory like Kaneki!”
……
“The kids have been a little absent-minded in training these past two days, Coach Shirogane.” In the office, Naoto Sanada was standing next to Kozo Shirogane, looking at the players training downstairs with a worried look on his face. “They’ve been like this since Kaneki Ken left. I’m a little worried that Kaneki Ken’s departure will affect the team’s tacit understanding…”
“You’re right, Sanada.” Shirokane Kozo looked out the window with a heavy heart, “In fact, I don’t know whether it’s right or wrong to let Kaneki leave… Without the suppression of Kaneki, the absolute core, it is inevitable that the level of tacit understanding will decrease.”
“Then…” Naoto Sanada was a little worried, “Will this have an impact on the team’s combat effectiveness?”
“What I’m worried about is not this Sanada.” Shirokane Kozo turned his head and looked at Naoto Sanada, “The potential of these children is unprecedented. When their talents blossom, although it will not be enough to make up for the impact of Kaneki Ken’s departure, it will at least be enough to crush other teams…” “Yes…” Looking at Shirokane Kozo who was hesitant to speak, Naoto Sanada could only nod silently and stop talking.
“Oh, right, Sanada.” As if remembering something, Shirogane Kozo spoke again, “Remember, when I’m not around, no matter what happens, you must not stop the team’s necessary training, understand?”
“Don’t worry, coach.” Although he didn’t know why Shirogane Kozo suddenly said this out of the blue, Sanada Naoto nodded and said, “I have always been in charge of the children’s training myself.”
“I hope that day will never come…” Shirogane Kozo looked worriedly at Aomine Daiki and others who were training and sighed.
“Ah~ So boring…” Aomine Daiki spun the ball with his fingers out of boredom, “After Kaneki left, it feels like training isn’t that difficult anymore…”
“Aomine-kun…” Kuroko Tetsuya silently walked up to Aomine Daiki, “It’s not time to rest yet.”
“Ah? All right!” Qingfeng Daihui grabbed the basketball in his hand and walked to the court excitedly, randomly pointing at a few members of the first team, “You guys, come and play with me!”
“Ah~ So boring!!” Outside the training hall, a young man with long blond hair looked at the football club members who were doing a juggling test in the playground with annoyance, “I broke the defense of the seniors again~ Is it my fault that they can’t juggle as much as a beginner like me? If you’re not good enough, just practice more. What’s the point of targeting me!”
“Whether it’s baseball, football, or swimming, I always learn it after just one look, and then easily become the best in the club…” The boy sighed, “Life like this is really boring… Oh my God! Is there no sport that can rekindle my passion and make me train hard?”
“Swish~~” As if God couldn’t stand the boy’s Versailles, a basketball flew out from the training hall and hit the boy squarely on the head.
“Ouch, it hurts!” The boy covered his head in pain.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Aomine Daiki apologized and came to the boy to pick up the basketball. “Oh, isn’t this our school’s famous model star Kise-kun?”
“Hey? You…” Ryouta Kise was about to ask Aomine Daiki how he knew him, but he saw Aomine Daiki picking up the ball and running back to the basketball hall.
“Basketball?” Huang Lai Ryota muttered thoughtfully, “I’ve never played this sport, but I heard that our school’s basketball team is pretty good. It even won the national championship this year…”
“Well, let’s go and take a look. It’s an easy sport anyway.” Huang Lai Ryota walked towards the basketball hall with curiosity. “Before that, let’s just have fun…”
“Haha, you are too slow, I can’t keep up at all!” On the court, Aomine Daiki’s figure with the ball moved quickly among the crowd. His ethereal figure was like a leaping black panther. He easily broke through the defense before the defensive players could react, and finally broke into the basket and scored a slam dunk.
“No wonder Kaneki likes to score in this way…” Aomine Daiki let go of the basket and fell down, “It feels really good~”
“Is this… is this basketball?” Huang Lai’s eyes lit up. “If there is a guy like this in the basketball club, it will definitely make me work hard for a long time… No, it’s better to say that this guy may be a level that I can never reach even if I work hard for my entire life, right?”
“Huh?” Aomine Daiki seemed to feel someone was watching him, and turned to look at Kise Ryouta, “Really, if I wasn’t careful, I would have thought that Kaneki hadn’t left yet. He looks too much like Kaneki, that guy.”
“Yanzi’s aura is not that weak.” Murasakibara Atsushi snorted and looked at Kise Ryota with some disdain.
“I’ve decided. I’m going to join the basketball club when they recruit new members next year!” There was excitement in Kise Ryota’s eyes.
