Emperor Light Era

Looking at the sleeping face of the boy in his arms, Akashi's heart moved, he couldn't help stretching out his fingers, and gently stroked Kuroko's hair.

The hair feels soft and comfortable, and the fingertips feel delicate and cool to the touch.Akashi thought to himself, no wonder Daiki always likes to rub his head.It seems that he wanted to touch it with his own hands a long time ago.After thinking of this, Akashi couldn't help thinking again, why would he want to touch?

This idea appeared so suddenly that even Akashi was surprised, but it carried some freshness and interest of exploring new things.You must know that although it is convenient to have the Eye of the Emperor of Heaven, it also loses a lot of fun for him.

Dahui was so slow that he didn't even notice that the child was sick because of being exposed to the rain for too long.Akashi caressed the boy's cold and delicate skin, leaned over, and pressed his forehead against the boy's forehead. When he felt the temperature of his forehead which was much higher than that of his body's skin, Akashi's cold red eyes narrowed slightly.

As an athlete, it's not okay to not love your body so much.If you don't know how to take care of yourself like this, don't you have to take care of your body in the future?

So, what to do next.It looks like he has a fever.Well, the more convenient and quicker way seems to be to let Dahui come and bring Tetsuya there, but Dahui has just been called over, so the practice can't be interrupted like this, after all, he is one of Teiko's trump cards for victory.

Akashi stroked his chin and thought carefully for a while, then dialed the number at home.

"I need a car to come to school. Well, as soon as possible." After lightly closing the phone cover, Akashi reached out and hugged Kuroko.Although his arm strength is not as strong as Qingfeng's, but Heizi is very light, and it is more than enough strength to hold him.

Akashi looked down at the boy with iris-blue hair. At this moment, he looked lifeless, his eyes were tightly closed, his cheeks were pale, and his breathing was short of breath.The moment he was picked up by himself, the boy's fingers suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes, looking extremely insecure.Unlike his usual expressionless face who likes to be brave, at this time, his snow-white face suddenly overflowed with a trace of fragility.

A gleam flashed across Akashi's cold red eyes, and he skillfully opened the other's hand that was holding the corner of his clothes, and held it gently.The slightly cool temperature fell on the palm, and Akashi's lips curled into a faint smile: "Ah, it's not okay to be so fragile, Tetsuya. Let me teach you well."

=============================================================================================================================================== ====

When Heizi opened his eyes again, what he saw was the Japanese-style ceiling, and the bed under him revealed a faint fragrance, which was an indescribably good smell, and the whole room looked clean and tidy.

what happened to him?There is a short period of memory loss, and the cause and effect are not remembered.

There was a lot of confusion in the iris-blue eyes, as if they were empty, and his head was plunged into chaos, and he couldn't tell where it was for a while.It wasn't until he heard a voice coming from beside him that he finally came back to his senses.

"You have a fever, don't move around for now, Mr. Zheye." Hearing this, Heizi was taken aback, and couldn't help turning his head to look over.The person who spoke was Akashi, his cold red eyes were quietly staring at Kuroko, his hands were folded under his chin, and he was looking at him with a smile.

Kuroko couldn't help but blinked his eyes in confusion for Kami Akashi's eyes, and the foggy pupils dispelled the confusion a little bit.

... have a fever?Is it because it rained before?Heizi sighed silently in his heart, although the expression on his face remained unchanged, his thoughts had drifted away.Ever since I had a serious illness when I was a child, my body has not been very good. I didn't expect my resistance to be so bad...

"Zhe Ye-jun." Heizi, who was suddenly called by his name and still immersed in his thoughts, nodded subconsciously, and replied obediently: "Yes."

Akashi's eyes narrowed in dissatisfaction with that unknowing expression.He tapped the edge of the bed lightly with his fingers, and pondered: "Your physical condition is very bad. Even if you recuperate now, the whole junior high school will not be able to play." Although the tone is very gentle, but the tone is firm, and the content makes people quite disappointed and sad.Hearing this, Heizi lowered his head silently.He naturally knew in his heart that what Akashi said was right, and he couldn't refute it at all.

"However, as I told you before, I have a proposal," Akashi raised his right index finger, with a determined smile on his lips: "It will allow you to stand in the starting team. Of course, to get it, you have to pay , it will cost you something."

Hearing this, Kuroko raised his head suddenly, and the memory of what Akashi said to him before suddenly came back, and the eyes he looked at Akashi seemed to be lit with flames, which was an unprecedented fire of hope: "Akashi-kun, please tell me."

"Be a shadow, Tetsuya."

Akashi's address to Kuroko changed from "Tetsuya-kun" to "Tetsuya", which is enough to explain the change in Akashi's attitude towards Kuroko, but Kuroko, who was immersed in the excitement of being able to enter the starting team, did not notice it.

Akashi's words of "becoming a shadow" completely changed Kuroko's life from this moment on.

"First of all, your physical fitness is too poor. Secondly, your basketball training is not strong enough, and your meals are too casual. Come to my house and let me train you comprehensively."

"No need. Akashi-kun give me the training menu, when I go back..."

"Tetsuya, before that, I think I should tell you the rules of the basketball club—my words are absolute, do you understand?" Although it was a question sentence, it did not mean to ask Heizi's opinion at all. His expression is obviously undeniable and absolute.

Seeing Akashi's smiling but undeniable expression, Kuroko had no choice but to nod his head.

——Akashi-kun, although he looks very gentle and easy to talk, he is unexpectedly dignified and domineering.

Akashi finally smiled with satisfaction: "Very good. Pack your things when you go back tonight, and come back with me tomorrow with your luggage. Tomorrow I will introduce you to the first army, but you will have to be an apprentice for a while before the official game .”

Heizi nodded: "Okay, Akashi-kun. Can I start training tomorrow?"

"I don't have a hobby of forcing patients." Akashi picked up the water cup on the bedside table and stood up: "Since you are awake, come and take your medicine. I have asked the doctor to see it and the medicine is ready. Luckily there were no complications, just a common flu fever."

Seeing that Akashi got up and seemed to pour water for himself, Kuroko hurriedly reached out and grabbed the quilt to get up: "Don't bother Akashi-kun, I myself..."

"Don't move." Akashi stopped softly, and said with a smile: "Since you are a patient, you should take a good rest."

Heizi froze on the spot.Although Akashi-kun's voice was very soft and gentle, Kuroko felt a kind of strength that could not be rejected from the middle. ——However, this is also a kind of tenderness from Akashi-kun, right?Heizi thought uncertainly.

After Akashi poured warm water and handed it to Kuroko, he picked out a suitable number of pills from the aluminum plate and put them in Kuroko's hand.Akashi-kun is really good at taking care of people... Kuroko thought vaguely as he swallowed the pill.

The basketball club of Teguang Middle School.

Standing in front of everyone in the department for the first time, Kuroko was a little nervous for a moment, and almost wiped out his own existence with a weak sense of existence, but Akashi pressed his hand on his shoulder without any doubt.

"This is Kuroko Tetsuya. From today onwards, he will stay in the First Army."

"Hey! Akashi, even if it's you, it won't make sense to just pull up the guy from the third army, right? He lost to me!" Under the circumstances of unknown strength, soon, someone in the second army team Questioned the sunspot.It's true, he was in the second army and failed to enter the first army because he lost the game. The third army has obviously lost to him, why——

"I've made up my mind." Akashi's voice was soft, but powerful.

"You...!!" Hearing Akashi's words, the other party was obviously a little irritable, and insisted as if planning to break the jar: "Anyway, I object! I don't recognize this person!"

The arc of the smile on Akashi's lips remained unchanged, and his tone was still very soft: "Let's do this. There will be a game in a month, and I will give up the starting position to Tetsuya. If Tetsuya loses, I will cut off my hand. Otherwise , Tetsuya wins, how about you keep your hand...or quit the basketball club, how about that?" Although he said something scary like "cutting hands", Akashi's tone was as relaxed as if he was inviting him to an outing The wind was calm, and there was even a gentle smile on his face that was no different from before.

"What...!!" The other party was obviously taken aback by Akashi's words, he hesitated and couldn't speak.He knows that Akashi has a pair of eyes that can see the future and the potential of players, but he can't believe what kind of potential is hidden in a small body like Kuroko... But if it is Akashi's affirmation... his face As soon as he showed hesitation, the whole person was already at the disadvantage of Akashi.

Seeing Akashi's pressing gaze, the boy who held the objection was already tense all over, he couldn't help but took a step back, then he came back to his senses and reluctantly lowered his head and said, "I...I believe you are... ..."

"I've said it a long time ago. My words are absolute. Those who defy me, I will not allow him to stay here again. Ishikawa-kun, you have doubled your practice today, and next time, it's not just like that .”

"...Yes." The other party completely lost their original momentum, so they could only respond in a low voice.

Under Akashi's words, everyone accepted Kuroko's joining—even if it was only superficially.
