"My name is Kise Ryota, are you a friend of Nijimura-sempai? You can call me Kise or Ryota..." Kise is full of enthusiasm, smiling passionately with his big white teeth.
Rei looked at Kise with strange eyes and asked, "Why are you wearing a business suit?"
"Oh... ahem!" Kise said in a slightly embarrassed voice. "I just finished filming for a Tokyo magazine, so I'm doing a little extra work, and by the way, I came to watch today's semi-finals..."
"Ryota is so... he really enjoys being a model," Shuzo Nijimura sighed helplessly.
"Hmm..." Kise Ryota suddenly looked at Reo Mibuchi from the side, and said in an incredible tone, "Are you Mibuchi-senpai?"
Mibuchi nodded, looked at the enthusiastic Kise, but didn't say anything else.
Kise Ryota and Shuzo Nejimura were immediately shocked.
Reo Mibuchi's name is now quite famous throughout the country. He was even nicknamed "Yaksha". He is a recognized genius, as is Eikichi Nebuya . Thanks to his accurate throws, he can be considered a headache for any opponent.
"Ryota only joined the basketball club this semester, but he's already made the second roster..."
Rei gave a good impression of Keys, the least arrogant and approachable guy among the Generation of Miracles. Compared to Akashi and Kuroko's poker face, he's a lot better.
"He really is a genius to have just recently joined the basketball club..."
"By the way!" Nijimura hurriedly changed the subject, "Rei, your next opponent is Hiramine High School. They are very strong, you have to be careful..."
Ray nodded and said, "Don't worry, we'll be careful! Although Nebuya is very strong, we are fully prepared... but what about you? You haven't graduated yet, why did you completely leave the team to the Generation of Miracles?"
Shuzo Nijimura looked at Rei with some confusion. "We made this decision together with the coach. They are unbelievable monsters capable of leading the Teiko Basketball Club to achieve the best results in national competitions!"
"I forgot to introduce myself..." Rei looked at Kise, smiled slightly and said, "My name is Rei, Nijimura's former classmate..."
"Classmate?" Shuzo Nijimura corrected and hugged Rei's shoulders, "We were best friends! Before Akashi and the others didn't get in, he was one of the top players in Teiko High School. So, Ryota, he can also be considered your sempai!"
"Senpai… so you have to be very strong?"
"Well... I'm pretty good," Rei replied with a modest smile.
Mibuchi's pupils suddenly widened, proving that his heart wasn't calm right now. He did not expect that the captain had once been a member of the Teiko High School basketball club.
"Good enough? Haha… so, must be very strong…" Kise's eyes glowed with a fiery light. He always remembered that anyone who can join the Teiko Basketball Club and become a top player are strong monsters.
"Rei is very good, at least much stronger than me..." Nijimura smiled, "Ryota, although you have the potential to become a main player, you are still a rookie right now..."
"Yes..." Kise Ryota wasn't angry at all for being called weak. "In Teiko, I am really very weak, otherwise I will be able to participate in nationals instead of shooting for a magazine .... Alas!"
Although his strength is small, Kise wants to become stronger.
As the outside world said, the Generation of Miracles have the potential to become pros, and they are all monsters. When he first entered the Teiko Basketball Club, he was deeply shocked and crushed by Aomine.
After seeing Aomine on the court, Kise Ryota realized that basketball can be played like this?
When Kuroko used his weak presence for a quick pass, it further eroded his perception of basketball.
"Don't worry, you'll get stronger sooner or later..." Rei encouraged him. He did not see the disappointment in the golden eyes.
On the contrary, Kise never gave up.
Constantly getting along with a group of monsters, his goal was probably to defeat these geniuses, otherwise Kise wouldn't always hit on Aomine in middle school, and the insane fight in high school is the best proof of that.
This guy has an unprecedented perseverance and desire to win.
"If you want to get stronger, you need to work hard..."
"Nijimura, the game is about to start... If you have time, let's go grab a bite to eat..." Rei said with a smile. Since he came to this world, his goal was to surpass the Generation of Miracles. So he has to work hard and get stronger wildly.
"Hey... sempai... one of the best Teiko players in the past... so you have to be better than the monsters of our team?"
"A?" Ray frowned.
Kise Ryota hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "I don't have... no other meaning, if sempai is really that strong, can we play one on one?"
