Anime Crossover: The people the Saniwa knows are all over Japan

Hyotei's indoor basketball court is easy to find.

It occupies a large area, and even the equipment inside is very new.

There were more people in the gymnasium than Asuka had imagined. Teiko's white school uniforms took up almost half of the space, followed by students from other schools wearing various colored uniforms.

The fewest were actually students from Hyotei University's main campus.

Well, I can understand that. There were just too many Hyotei students gathered next to the tennis courts.

Many students who came to scout out enemy positions had already taken up good spots and set up their cameras.

The front row seats were almost completely occupied, and only a few seats remained in the back row. Many students were scattered around the back of the seats, whispering among themselves.

The reason why the front row seats are almost completely occupied is because Kise helped Asuka take one seat, leaving only that one empty seat in the front row.

Is basketball really that popular now...?

Asuka squeezed through the crowd and, following the location map Kise sent her, safely arrived at her spot.

Almost the second after Asuka sat down, her phone rang.

Golden Retriever Fresh Onion Deskmate: I saw Monobe-san! (＾－＾)V I'll do my best in the competition~

As soon as Fei Niao looked up, she saw her sparkling deskmate looking in her direction with sparkling eyes.

Ouch, my eyes... I'm going blind.

Is this the starry-eyed attack from Crayon Shin-chan?

That's incredibly damaging!

Kawaii Asuka-chan: Kise-kun is shining brightly today too... I believe in you~ヾ(°°) Good luck!

Hehe, Asuka-chan said I'm sparkly again.

"Kise, what are you grinning about?" Aomine tugged at Kise, who was still looking at his phone, his lips twitching. "You look absolutely ridiculous."

"Little Qingfeng doesn't understand anything~"

(P.S.: The "小" in "小青峰/黑子" is "っち", and the "酱" in "飞鸟酱" is "ちゃん". Although both can be translated as "little xx", there are some differences.)

Aomine (eyes wide with satisfaction): I really don't understand why this guy looks so smug...

"Akashi called us over, quickly put your phone away."

"Hi hi~" Kise quickly replied to Asuka with his last message, stuffed his phone into his bag, and followed behind Aomine, a smile he couldn't suppress playing on his lips.

With Asuka-chan's encouragement and blessings, he is now full of fighting spirit!

Seeing that his deskmate had been pulled away by his dark-skinned, cyan-haired companion, Asuka also put away his phone and began to observe the entire venue.

Hmm, it seems... people who play basketball are indeed a bit taller?

Wait a minute? That purple-haired guy? Huh? You're kidding, right?! He's at least 1.9 meters tall, maybe even 2 meters!

More than a thousand years ago, in her time, the average height of the Li people was less than 1.5 meters. At 1.65 meters, she was already a "giant" in the royal city...

Now, more than a thousand years later, while the average height of Ritsuhiko has increased, her height has actually decreased?

Deeply hurt, Asuka-sama decided to stop paying attention to the purple-haired guy who had caused her so much pain.

She then began to look around the venue.

Gradually, my gaze was drawn to a blue-haired boy.

Just now, a student from Teiko pushed a cart full of things through the middle. If the blue-haired boy hadn't dodged quickly, the cart would have definitely knocked him down.

If it had only happened once, it would have been one thing, but several times the students from Hyotei seemed to be trying to pass right through him, showing no intention of giving way even when there were people in front of them.

They say he's a monster, but he doesn't have any demonic aura at all.

They say he's human, but it seems like no one can see him.

Asuka-sama was once again caught in a deep dilemma.

This world is so strange. Basketball players are strange, tennis players are strange, and even exorcists are strange.

It's not surprising that only Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) are involved.

"Hello," a girl's voice came from beside me. "Are you a student at Teiko High School?"

Feiniao snapped out of her daze, realized she wasn't wearing her school uniform, and quickly nodded.

"Hello, I'm a student of Teiko."

"Kawaii!"

The person who struck up a conversation was a short-haired, brown-haired girl. She exclaimed involuntarily, then extended her hand with a warm but not annoying smile: "I'm Aida Reiko, a third-year student at Hitachi."

Asuka smiled and shook hands with the other person: "I am Mononobe Asuka, a second-year student at Teiko."

"So, Mononobe-san is from the same generation as the Generation of Miracles?" Aida stuck out his tongue. "Actually, I'm here to scout out the enemy's situation~"

Asuka likes enthusiastic girls, and Aida Reiko actually hits her sweet spot a bit.

She was somewhat puzzled, "The Generation of Miracles?"

"Eh!" Aida exclaimed in shock, "Monobe-san is a student of Teiko High School, yet he doesn't know about the Generation of Miracles?!"

"Hmm." Asuka placed her hands on her knees, looking like she was waiting obediently for Aida to explain.

Completely charmed, Aida wiped away the non-existent nosebleed, coughed lightly, and explained in a serious tone.

"In Teiko Junior High School, known for its basketball prowess, five once-in-a-decade geniuses emerged: Seijuro Akashi, Atsushi Murasakibara, Daiki Aomine, Shintaro Midorima, and Ryota Kise. They achieved undefeated glory with their unique talents, and were thus known as the 'Generation of Miracles'."

The bird suddenly realized.

It turns out my deskmate is actually pretty good at basketball.

No wonder he's tall.

"Wait a minute, their surnames are all named after their hair color!"

Girl, you've spotted the key point.

(Blind student, you've spotted the key point.)

"Um, it seems so." Aida tapped his chin with his finger, noticing something he had never noticed before.

"I originally wanted to ask Mononobe-san about the Generation of Miracles, but it turns out that Mononobe-san doesn't know anything about them either." Aida made no attempt to hide his purpose.

"Aida-san, you can just call me Asuka~ Can I call you Reiko?"

"Of course~! Cute Asuka-chan!" Aida went a step further and used the affectionate nickname that Kise had always wanted to use but hadn't dared to.

She hugged the girl next to her and laughed happily: "It's not a loss to get to know such a cute girl as Asuka-chan."

Feiniao touched his nose, feeling a rare warmth on his face.

She really likes enthusiastic people; although she's a little overwhelmed, she still likes them a lot.

"Kise and his group are so amazing, why do even students from other schools need to come and scout out the enemy's situation?" Asuka asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course! Their strength is overwhelming among junior high school students. Now that they are in their growth period, even if they face high school students, they can easily crush the older students in a one-on-one fight!"

Aida sighed, "This is an era of miracles. People with average or even exceptional talent are completely suppressed by them."

"They are the ones who can access the miracles of the highest halls, while others can only linger at the door."

"Thinking about it this way, I feel envious, resentful, and... powerless."

No matter how much sweat you shed, it can't compare to the slightest effort... or even no effort at all, that leads to miracles.

Their casual performance is something that others can hardly surpass even after a lifetime.

“But miracles cannot be replicated.” Asuka took Aida’s slightly trembling hand and looked earnestly into her eyes with her clear, bright black eyes.

"And the training sheets and improvement methods left behind by those who work hard can be studied by future generations."

"There's no need to compare yourself to geniuses; ordinary people can also shine in their favorite fields."

Therefore, effort is not meaningless.
