Shin was traveling to South Carolina, Spartanburg, to study at his new school and his mom go to her new job
Shin lived in the United States before in his past life, so he already knew how to speak English, even though so many years passed
He is very smart and doesn't forget something after learning
(A / N: Guys, I don't live in the United States so I can miss the locations and tournaments that they have, if you guys could say to me the names, i would love it ;), for the schools names I got from a website that says the best schools of 2016. And you must be asking me why is Shin going to this city ? You all will see soon, but if make the connections you'll know why)
Shin's mother said he will study at 'Spartanburg Day' school
'I don't remember this school in my past life, it might not have existed or it was a small one to mention'
==
They finally landed and went to a hotel to sleep before looking for their new home
'I'm really excited, hopefully the people here are better than Japan, or else I'm going to beat them all'
Shin said while he was having a crazy smile on his face
==
"Uwaaah, good morning mom and dad"
Shin said as he stretched his body
"Good morning my baby, we are going to look for our new home now, do you want to come with us?"
Shin thought about it and said
"I prefer to play basketball on a court, can you let me play on one near our new home?"
Shin's mother was a little worried because she didn't know if Shin would be able to take care of himself
"I'll let you play, but you can't get in trouble, and do you know how to speak English ?"
Shin chuckled and said
"Yes mom, I learned by watching videos on the internet, and I won't get in trouble I swear"
The mother was proud of her son
"Ah, my boy is smart, then I will take you on a court to play"
Shin smiled at his mother and ran to give her a hug
"Thank you mom, I love you"
Shin's father saw this and smiled fondly
"Come on you two, we're going now"
==
Shin said goodbye to his parents and went to play on the court, he went in and saw that there were people that seemed to be the same age as him playing
"Hey can I play next?" Shin
They looked at Shin suspiciously and one of them said
"And do you know how to play at least white kid?" KidA
Everyone who was playing laughed at Shin but one person didn't, that person approached Shin and spoke
"Don't mind them, if you want, you can play with me next game"
Shin looked at him and offered a handshake
"Nice to meet you, I do want to, what's your name?"
The boy accepted the handshake and said
"My name is 'Zion Williamson' you can call me Zion, and yours?
(A / N: Zion Williamson is one of my favorites basketball players, he is the reason why Shin is going to that school, to know him better see this video: https://youtu.bengD3sYoCep8)
"My name is Yukimura Shin, you can call me Shin"
Shin saw that Zion was tall and asked
"How tall are you, and how old are you?"
"I am 9 years old and 4'9" feet tall, you are also tall, my parents said that Japanese people are not that tall, how old are you? "Zion
"That's true, most Japanese people are not tall like the people here, I am 8 years old and 4'7" feet tall "Shin
"I see, do you play basketball well?" Zion
Shin put a confident smile on his face and said
"Yes, I never lost to people my age"
Zion smiled too and went back to look at the game, Shin looked at Zion and asked
"What school do you study at?" Shin
Zion looked at Shin again and said
"Spartanburg Day, and you" Zion
"I am transfering to your school this year, I came from Japan" Shin
"Cool, are you going to try to join our basketball team? Everyone who is here plays at our school" Zion
Shin still hadn't decided if he was going to play anytime soon or not, he considered playing just to enter the new training camp his friends talked about
"I don't know yet, I was going to wait a few years, but I heard that there is a new training camp for young talents"
Zion was surprised by Shin's response but he smiled and said
"It is very difficult to enter this new training camp, only 100 people enter and they divide them into 5 groups, the camp A, which is for the best ones, most are between 13 or more years old, the other groups follow the order and are divided from best to the worst, but this don't mean they are bad "Zion
Shin found this interesting and kept it in his mind
==
Now it was Shin and Zion's turn to play, they were in they turn to defend, they were playing 2v2
"Hey white kid, ready to lose? You're lucky Zion is on your team if he wasn't , the game were going to be 11-0" KidA
Shin said nothing and only prepared to defend
He started dribbling the ball with his body protecting, he thought Shin was bad so he just ran to the right, stopped, and faked a shot, but Shin didn't even move and stole the ball quickly, Shin ran for the basket but KidB intercepted him, Zion got free and Shin passed without looking at him, Zion scored easily with a layup
"1-0" Shin said with a bored look
'For real, I thoght they could be at least a bit better than the guys in Japan, at least Aomine was not so boring, I hope there are some real good players in here'
The game continued with Shin easily defending, and scoring with simple moves, the kids couldn't accompany Shin's speed and the game ended 11-2 with Shin scoring 9 points
"You are really good Shin" Zion said while smiling
Shin forced a smile and said
"Yeah, it was really hard to win, lets play again another day" Shin
Zion saw that Shin didn't even break a sweat but just stayed quiet
"Bye Zion, my parents came to get me back home"
Shin waved his hand and leaved
"Bye Shin" Zion
==
"Hi sweetye, it was fun ?" Mom
"Well to be honest I think it was a little boring because they were not that good, but I made a new friend, he study at the same school I will be going" Shin
Shin's mom smiled at him affectionaly
"That's good my baby" Mom
After that Shin stayed quiet and just looked through the window the rest of the time
