"You're the king of steal, you're my idol SAITO HARUKI-SAMA," as soon as Senpai stepped forward to introduce himself, a new student quickly stood up and shouted out the nickname of the Senpai.
Saito Haruki-sama, who was called out by the student, was a handsome man and likely popular among women. He was 183cm tall, had black hair, and green eyes.
Saito Haruki-senpai, who saw the incident, smiled at him.
"What's your name, new member? It's nice to hear someone knows me," Saito Haruki-senpai asked.
The man, who was called back by Saito Haruki-senpai, put his hand on his chest and introduced himself.
"My name is Goya Tetsuo, Saito Haruki-sama."
"Thank you, Goya Tetsuo-san. I will remember your name. Now, please sit back and relax because I want to introduce myself, so that you can get to know me better," Saito Haruki-senpai said to Tetsuo.
Goya Tetsuo quickly sat down and listened carefully to every word of his idol.
"Hey everyone! I'm so glad to see you all excited in this morning club activity," his voice booming with energy. "I'm Saito Haruki, and I'm so excited to be here today! I'm in class 11-F, along with the assistant coach-san, Miyuki-chan. Isn't that right, Miyuki?" Then he winked one eye at Miyuki, and Miyuki just nodded and confirmed that it was true, because she was also in class 11-F.
"I play as PG (Point Guard) in this school. I hope we can all play together some other time. Thank you."
Then Haruki-senpai stepped back, and the next man stepped forward.
He was a pretty handsome man, 186cm tall, with black hair and sharp black eyes that gave some sort of pressure to everyone.
"Nice to meet you all, my name is Fujimoto Riku. I'm in class 11-D. My position in this club is SG (Shooting Guard), and I'm glad to be gathering with you all."
Then he stepped back, and the next man stepped forward.
This...this was a very big man, as soon as he took one step, the voices of the new students in the field were immediately heard, all like talking about something.
Ryu couldn't understand what they were all talking about this man because all the voices blended and were not clear for him to hear.
He turned forward, he saw that the Senpai had a very average face, had explosive height, 204cm. His body was also very large, and all of his muscles were very clearly visible outside of the basketball jersey he was wearing.
"HELLO NEW MEMBERS! YOU ALL MUST BE FAMILIAR WITH ME, MATSUMOTO EIJI. I AM IN CLASS 11-D WITH FUJIMOTO RIKU. YOUR GUESSES ARE CORRECT ABOUT MY INTIMIDATING BODY COMPOSITION - I PLAY AS THE CENTER IN THIS BASKETBALL CLUB!"
After Eiji-senpai introduced himself, a loud explosion of sound erupted.
"OH MY GODDDD, THAT'S ONE OF THE CROWNED KINGS, GORILLA KING. I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SEEING HIM UP CLOSE LIKE THIS."
"So he's the one with the unstoppable dunk, damn. I thought it was just bragging, but now I believe it."
"One of the Crowned Kings, Eiji-senpai, please accept my greetings."
Ryu, who heard all of this, was shocked and puzzled. Crowned King? Gorilla King? He had never heard of all this. But what surprised him the most was that he had an unstoppable dunk.
With the sound of the basketball court being very noisy, Kato Miyuki stopped them and told them to be quiet and continue with the next agenda.
"ALL RIGHT, NOW LET'S MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT EVENT, MEASURING YOUR STRENGTH AND PHYSICAL ABILITIES. WE WILL BE TESTING YOUR RUNNING SPEED AND VERTICAL JUMP. THEN, WE WILL ALL CONTINUE TO PLAY IN A SMALL TOURNAMENT."
"NOW FOLLOW YOUR INSTRUCTOR, THE SENPAI WHO INTRODUCED THEMSELVES EARLIER, TO CONTINUE TO THE NEXT SESSION. I WILL PROVIDE YOUR NAMES TO YOUR SENPAI."
As Ryu was walking to each of his senpais trying to find where he was supposed to go, someone called out his name.
"Yamaguchi Ryu"
"Yamaguchi Ryu" from 10-A."
After hearing his name called clearly, Ryu walked towards the voice, and the person calling him was the PG senpai from earlier, Saito Haruki-senpai.
After facing Haruki-senpai, he spoke.
"Are you Yamaguchi Ryu, from class 10-A?"
"Yes, senpai, I am Yamaguchi Ryu."
"Alright, you're the first person to come to my camp from this list, can you help me call out these names?"
"Sure, senpai. I can do it."
"Thank you." Haruki-senpai then gave Ryu the list of his group.
The session to find the camp took quite a long time, taking around 20 minutes to gather everyone.
This sports building on the first floor has 5 basketball courts, making it easier for everyone to save time.
2 hours later
...............
........
This session is now over, Ryu did his best for the running and Vertical Jump tests earlier. Then all students were released to rest as long as they didn't leave the court. Ryu went to get his water from his bag.
On the farthest basketball court, the core team seniors, assistant coach Miyuki-senpai, and coach Hirai Kenshin gathered.
Coach Hirai Kenshin was in the middle and surrounded by the others.
"Start the report with you, Takashi."
"Alright, coach. The best training member this session is a student named Ueda Madoka, he is 177cm tall, and I estimated his running speed at around 19 miles/hour, and his vertical jump is 22 inches."
Coach Hirai Kenshin just nodded and then told them to continue.
"In Fujimoto Riku's camp, the best training member is a student named Hirabayashi Makoto, he is 191cm tall, his vertical jump reaches 31inches, and he has a speed of around 21 miles/hour."
"Quite a good talent, continue," said coach Hirai Kenshin.
"From the Kimura Shota camp, the top scorer is Hiraoka Izanagi, he is 182cm tall with a vertical jump of 27 inches and has a speed of around 19 miles/hour."
Coach Hirai Kenshin just nodded and asked to continue.
"From the Takumi Inoue camp, the best member is Hada Iwao, he is 175cm tall with a vertical jump of 29 inches and has a speed of around 24 miles/hour."
Coach Hirai Kenshin just nodded.
"From the Matsumoto Eiji camp, the best participant is Okano Tsutomu, he has a muscular body with a height of 193cm, a vertical jump of 32inches, but his running speed is quite slow at only 15 miles/hour. I don't know if he can improve it or not."
"Then, the last one is you, Saito Haruki."
"Um, before I mention what will happen, please prepare your hearts with all this data, even I was so surprised that my heart wanted to jump out of my mouth."
Hearing that, everyone was curious, including Miyuki and Coach Hirai Kenshin. Saito Haruki is a very arrogant person, so if he thinks someone has a good ability, it is a limit that cannot be tolerated by his ego.
"The best member in all camps, including yours, is YAMAGUCHI RYU."
Hearing that, Miyuki's eyes widened, she had seen almost all the registration forms. They all had various experiences in the world of basketball, except for Ryu's form, which had no experience playing basketball at all.
"His raw ability is really good, he is 188cm tall with a sprint speed of around 25 miles/hour, reaching a professional runner. He also has a surprising vertical jump of 45 inches!!!! I also found out that he can float in the air for quite a long time, even though it was only a glimpse, it seems he really has talent."
Hearing that, everyone was surprised. WHAT KIND OF STATISTICAL MONSTER IS THAT!
Even Coach Hirai Kenshin immediately bombarded them with questions about Ryu. Kato Miyuki, who was still shocked, answered all of Coach Hirai Kenshin's questions slowly and mentioned that Ryu had no basketball-playing experience yet.
"HAHA-HAHAHAHA. THIS WORLD IS REALLY FAVORING ME, HIRAI KENSHIN. NO MATTER IF HE HAS EXPERIENCE OR NOT, WE MUST FOCUS A LITTLE ON HIM, WHATEVER HAPPENS, DON'T LET SUCH A BRIGHT TALENT DIM WITH NOTHING, FOR OUR GLORY."
"YES COACH," they all bowed to Coach Hirai Kenshin as a sign of respect.
