Somehow, Kevin looked at the desolate moon, and a scene from long ago suddenly appeared in front of him. He was also obsessed with that moment.

On the playground of Chiba Academy, a nearly perfect ball landed, and it bounced an arc and a sound on the court with only one person. Except for the person who threw it, its rolling would not attract any attention. In comparison, the vibration still happening at the basket was more exciting.

This is the so-called "victorious moment". It is out of time and space, and the cause and effect no longer matter. At that moment, it can occupy all the minds of the world and not care about how the world will turn out.

"Phew...I finally did it."

Only he himself knows how difficult this is.

Compared to many people, he can hardly be called a genius in any field, and even though he is often regarded as having above-average athletic ability, that talent is ultimately too crude.

He may be able to run faster, jump higher, and react more promptly than ordinary people, but he always finds it difficult to grasp the existence of "skills".

Anyone who has tried to learn basketball will know that even the technique of shooting from a standing position is extremely difficult to master for people with poor comprehension.

In Qianyu Academy, he was always the most outstanding player on the court, able to surpass anyone who stood in his way, but...

But they are often not the ones who can score the crucial points at the last minute. In the final analysis, this sport also has the universal characteristics of the world - people can easily participate in it, but they may not know how to do it from beginning to end.

"Well, let's try a longer distance."

The boy picked up the basketball again and walked further away.

The success that made him feel happy just now was just a shot made by a child standing very close to the basket, which was quite insignificant. But it was indeed a good start, and now he had more confidence.

He glanced at the position of the basket and then closed his eyes. In this way, he forced himself to shoot according to his intuition. The basketball slipped out of his hand again...

And then it completely fell through.

Obviously, a good start never means a good end. Moreover, his training method may not be the right one.

"Ahhhhhhh...Kevin, you're so stupid!"

"...Alas, you are here alone again."

"Su? Why are you...and Mei is here too!"

"How dare you ask that? Didn't we plan to have dinner together today? It's a rare special holiday, are you going to stay at the sports field all day like before?"

"There has never been a time like that!"

"It doesn't matter, just let him be. I'm used to it."

"……Hello!"

This is a scene that can be seen everywhere, young boys and girls enjoying their vacations and burning their lives luxuriously.

"In the final analysis, Kevin, basketball is not the sport for you. Swimming, track and field...even weightlifting...if you really want to develop into an athlete, these are more suitable for you."

"What's the point of that? It's just pushing your body to its limits. It's so boring... and not cool at all. What I care about is "winning or losing", do you understand? Do you really think I can be happy just throwing a ball around? What I like is the "moment of victory", do you understand?"

"Uh... We can just listen to it, but don't say it in front of other people. They will think you are too utilitarian."

"I don't care. And the truth is not what you think. Well... how should I put it... the kind of victory I want has neither a past nor a future - it's just a moment, but that's enough. I don't care how much I have to pay before that, and I don't care what this victory can bring me."

"...Okay, I understand what you mean. But to be honest... the world won't stop when you reach that moment. Like many of your other ideas... it's too wishful and unrealistic."

"It's just that you can't understand it... What do you think, Mei?"

"I couldn't agree more with Sue."

"what……?"

"But sometimes I just feel that...you are cuter than others because of your purity."

"?"

"Nothing... I'll wait for you over there."

With an expression that she tried hard to conceal, the girl hurried away.

"Did you hear that, Sue? What did I say before?"

"Okay, why are you showing off... Hurry up and change your clothes. I'll wait for you outside."

"I know, I know. I'll try one last time. Don't delay too long. It's already late."

As if he was angry or inspired by something, the boy simply stood on the three-point line this time. He closed his eyes again, raised his hand... turned his wrist, and threw the basketball into an arc. Of course, his movements were still a little clumsy - even because of his closed eyes, he looked funny and pretentious.

However, when he opened his eyes...like a miracle, the ball did not miss.
