Rebirth of Akutsu, dominating the Black Basketball Team

Chapter 2: An Army

Because this world takes sports very seriously, or more precisely, basketball.

Therefore, in order to compete for outstanding talents, the sports specialty student system came into being, especially in basketball.

As long as you are truly talented and capable, the school will give you the green light regardless of tuition fees or academic performance, and you may even get a scholarship.

Not long after, Jin Akutsu received an invitation from Teikoh to be recruited specially. They wanted to conduct some tests on him to determine whether he was worthy of Teikoh's precious special recruitment spot.

The result is naturally self-evident. Akutsu's performance made the coaching staff of Teiko Junior High School's basketball team, especially head coach Shirogane, very satisfied.

Therefore, Akutsu's mother Yuki decided to sell the house in her hometown and moved with Akutsu to a place near the school, hoping to give him a new living environment.

Because "that man" abandoned them when Akutsu was very young, Akutsu was often ridiculed and looked down upon by other children when he was a child.

This is also the main reason why Akutsu's character in the original work began to become radical and extreme.

For this reason, when he was in the third grade of elementary school, Akutsu specifically learned fighting techniques such as karate, and then began to run wild on the road as a delinquent.

Yuki saw all of this, but every time she tried to persuade Akutsu, he would slam the door and walk out again and again, and the gap between mother and son grew deeper and deeper.

Fortunately, the situation improved two years ago, and Yuki attributed it to her Jin "growing up".

So, after Akutsu had the desire to "advance", and was rarely recruited by the famous Teiko Junior High School.

Yuki didn't want to hold Akutsu back because of family reasons, so she decisively decided to sell her old house and move with Akutsu to the vicinity of Teiko Junior High School.

However, although Akutsu won some preferential treatment for himself because of his excellent test performance, he not only obtained admission qualifications, but was even able to have most of his tuition fees waived.

However, the high tuition fees of Teiko Junior High School and the expensive rent in the city center still placed a huge financial burden on the Akutsu family.

After deducting tuition and rent, there was not much left from the sale of the house.

And this is just the cost of the first semester of Teikou Junior High School and three months of rent.

You should know that each academic year in Sakura Country is divided into three semesters, which is different from a certain large Eastern country.

What should I do with the rent after three months? What should I do with the tuition fees after that?
"It's okay, Ren. I will work hard and make money."

Akutsu felt a little uncomfortable with his mother Yuuki's words.

But he couldn't persuade her. The only thing he could do was to try not to waste his physical talents and grow up as quickly as possible.

In Prince of Tennis, Akutsu's physical talent is envied by many people, but it also makes many people feel sorry for him.

Because he had wasted too much time and changed his career late, he was able to fight against the professional-level Amadeus on the world stage in much less time than others, and successfully awakened his infinite consciousness.

It’s hard to imagine the heights Akutsu would have reached if he had focused on tennis from the beginning.

. . . . . .

“Beep~~”

A long whistle sounded, signaling the end of the test.

Not long after, the assistant coach, accompanied by Nijimura Shuzo, began to announce the list.

"First, the list of the three teams. This year, the three team members joining our Teikou Junior High School basketball team are: ... and finally, Kuroko Tetsuya."

"Then here's the second team list, Haizaki Shogo..."

"Finally, there is a list of all the troops."

At this point, there was a commotion around the basketball court, and the assistant coach had to stop. "Quiet, quiet." Nijimura Shuzo shouted loudly, and the court quickly quieted down.

"The first team list: Akashi Seijuro, Murasakibara Atsushi, Aomine Daiki, Midorima Shintaro, and Akutsu Jin."

"The above are the new members joining the basketball club this year. The rest of the students who failed the entrance test can go back first."

After everyone left, the assistant coach looked at Nijimura Shuzo and said, "Nijimura, the rest of the training will be in your hands. I'll take them to see the head coach first."

Shuzo Nijimura nodded, then took the training book from the assistant coach and began to arrange training for the new members.

As for the original old members, everyone had already started training.

"You five, follow me."

Hearing this, Akashi was the first to follow, and Murasakibara followed behind, eating the delicious stick in his hand.

Next up was Midorima, who was holding a little bear, and the dark-skinned Aomine.

Akutsu followed behind them, observing the Age of Miracles "in memory".

"Hello, my name is Aomine Daiki. Are you interested in playing some ball?"

Just as Akutsu was observing, Aomine, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and said.

Hearing this, Akutsu was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "Okay."

Soon, led by the assistant coach, several people came to the head coach's office on the second floor of the stadium.

"Head Coach Platinum, the people are here."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Coach Platinum has gray hair and looks at everyone gently with narrowed eyes.

Akutsu was still somewhat curious about Teiko's head coach, Kozo Shirogane.

It can be said that he personally created the "Miracle Era" for Teiko Junior High School, achieving the achievement of three consecutive championships in junior high school.

He was also the first to discover their potential, and for the sake of their health, he prohibited them from competing among themselves.

At the same time, it was because he was unable to take charge of the basketball team after he fell ill that the Miracle Era eventually fell apart.

The assistant coach who took over for him did not help at all in the subsequent events, and even had a counterproductive effect.

"Akashi, Murasakibara, Midorima, Aomine, and Akutsu, I have seen your performances, and you are all very talented children."

"For this reason, I will even make an exception and let you join the First Army directly."

"I also hope that you will work hard in the days ahead and not waste your talents."

Coach Platinum gave several people an earnest warning, telling them not to be complacent with their current performance and to continue to work hard in training.

After leaving the office, at Akashi's suggestion, the few of them made a brief self-introduction and got to know each other.

Then I went back to the first floor and started basketball training with everyone.

After two years of training in elementary school, Akutsu's basic skills have been laid very firmly, and the next step is to carry out some targeted training.

Thinking of this, Akutsu's mind moved, and a translucent panel that only he could see suddenly appeared in front of him.
