After Shōgo scored a basket, he picked up the basketball and handed it to Daiki, whose eyes were emitting blue electric sparks.
"Daiki, how about showing me something interesting? As an exchange, I'll also show you something interesting."
"Something interesting?"
"Yes, something interesting."
"Something interesting, huh? Are you sure you want to see it?"
"I'm sure!"
"Alright."
Suddenly, Shōgo felt that something inexplicable had changed about Daiki in front of him.
Daiki, who received the basketball, dribbled it with rhythmic taps.
Suddenly, the basketball swayed left and right, then came to a stop, followed by a fadeaway jump shot. The basketball sailed over Shōgo's outstretched hand and smoothly swished through the net.
These precise and streamlined movements were completely different from the free-spirited Daiki just a moment ago.
Shōgo's eyes filled with shock, followed by endless excitement and enthusiasm.
As expected, Daiki's "Perfect Copy" had revealed its true form. Wasn't that move just the same as his previous shot?
Experiencing Daiki's unique "Perfect Copy" firsthand was truly incredible.
Witnessing this scene were not only Shōgo but also Satsuki and Rina, who were watching the game intently.
"This... How is this possible?"
"Satsuki-chan, did something just happen?"
"Daiki... Did... He...Uses... Pillage.. or Copy? I don't know either."
"What do you mean?"
After a while, Satsuki, who had recovered from her astonishment, turned to Rina with a look of 'I'm also surprised.'
"Shōgo-kun possesses a special ability called Shōgo, which allows him to copy others' abilities and then change his rhythm, disrupting the opponent's ability to use their rhythm-based skills."
"Ah! No wonder, during the last match, Shōgo-kun displayed several different basketball styles. That's how it is."
"But just now, Daiki used Shōgo, oh no, maybe it's Copy, well, I'm not sure what's happening."
On the basketball court, Shōgo, thrilled by his speculations and predictions being confirmed, felt like he was entering a new game, developing a fresh strategy, or stumbling upon a unique artifact. It was boundless excitement, just like embarking on a new adventure.
Was this the real Daiki? How exciting! The scene before him was the real world, and manga and anime were just references.
Seeing is believing, and I'm truly not deceived!
Shōgo's eyes were filled with inexplicable excitement, which also made Daiki, who had activated his "Perfect Copy", feel somewhat strange. At this moment, Shōgo gave Daiki an unpredictable feeling.
Accepting the basketball passed by Daiki, Shōgo dribbled it while speaking to Daiki.
"Daiki, you've shown something interesting, and I'm satisfied. Now, let me show you something that I find interesting."
As he spoke, a fierce aura emanated from Shōgo, centered around him.
"Bang!"
Before Daiki could react, Shōgo had already performed a one-handed windmill dunk.
By the sidelines of the basketball court, Satsuki and Rina, who were witnessing a new phenomenon, stood wide-eyed and amazed, unable to believe their eyes.
Oh my god, how is this possible?
Daiki, with blue electric currents flickering around him, looked at the exceptionally intimidating Shōgo under the basket and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Wow hahaha!! Great, very good! Shōgo, you're something else, even more interesting than me."
"That's right! Hahaha, this is a newly awakened power."
"Come on, let me see if I can copy it."
"Go ahead and try."
On the basketball court, blue and grey electric currents flashed by extremely fast. The two shadows appeared and disappeared like phantoms, and the entire half-court seemed to be filled with numerous illusions.
After a long while, the currents dissipated, leaving the two exhausted figures panting and leaning against their knees.
"That's enough for today. If we continue, we won't even have the strength to go home."
"Yeah, let's stop here. Today was really enjoyable. Shōgo, thanks!"
"I had a blast too. It's been a long time since I had this much fun."
"Hahaha!!" "Hahaha!!"
The two exchanged smiles, supporting each other as they walked toward the edge of the court.
Meanwhile, the two gentle and beautiful girls had already opened water bottles and handed them over.
