85 Basketball?

Honestly, I don't have much to do. I am like a god at studying, completing home assignments just takes a single snap, even the farthest place is just one footstep away for me.

I am starting to understand how Saitama feels. Thankfully, I am not bald.

Because I still have a few hours before meeting fumino, I am just passing time by walking around the school. Hoping to find something fun.

Art club? Too boring.

Music club? Not interested.

Dropping a nuclear bomb on school? No, not yet.

While I was walking around in school corridor, two nameless side characters walked besides me while gossiping.

"Hey, do you know, our school has a basketball club."

"Yeah, I know! They are even collecting first year members, right?"

"You're right. How about we join the basketball too?"

"What? Forget it. Basketball is not for us."

I obviously overheard their conversation.

"Basketball?"

I didn't try basketball in this world, did I?

"Also, why did these nameless characters appear here?" I thought to myself.

Well, rather than wasting my time on deduction, I should go for easier route.

"Activate extra skill : Fate. Sub-skill : eye of fate." I chanted in my mind.

Immediately, thousands of threads appeared before me. Some thin, some weak, some ven glowing. But the golden thread that was shining most brightly, was connected to my body. The thread was pulling me into a certain direction.

"If that's my fate, let's follow it." I shrugged my shoulders and started moving towards the direction of the thread.

----------------------

A few minutes later...

I reached the building at the south of the school building and found myself in front of the basketball court.

"Excuse me, if you would like to register, please fill this form."

The receptionist at front of entrance, called out to me.

"Ah, sure." I quickly took the form and started filling it.

-----------------------------

-------------------------

I quickly filled the form and submitted it.

"Your registration is completed. You can enter the building now." The guard opened the gate and let me in.

I walked inside the basketball court where a girl was guiding other players in basketball.

She has caramel colored hair that is not very long, Her hair is kept to her left side with two pins and sometimes she has a pony tail kept together with a black band. She has average height with thin, boyish figure.

She is wearing a white shirt with a dark blue sweater over it. She also wears a white, short skirt and a sailor necktie. She has a pink whistle tied around her neck with a hanger that represents her position as the coach of the team.

In the middle of the basketball court, many players were playing a practice match. One of them was 6'3 in height, similar to mine. He was the tallest of all and was dunking the ball. Other was a blue haired boy with height of barely 5'5. He was passing the ball while walking through other's blind spots to hide his presence.

Kagami and kuroko.

Although their style were not too bad, there was really weak according to me.

I stood besides the court and looked at the game.

They were playing like immature players. Even their captain was really bad and guiding the team.

The only two important characters were kagami and kuroko, who were scoring baskets again and again.

Kuroko was striking the ball towards kagami, who was scoring points.

As the play continued, kuroko passed the ball as usual but accidentally it flew towards me.

"BE CAREFUL!!"

The ball travelled at high speed towards me. Kuroko tried to warn me because he threw it so only kagami might be able to catch it but due to their poor coordination, the ball missed and flew toward me.

As the ball reached towards me, I simply held out my right hand, while my other hand was in my pocket, and grabbed it.

The force behind the ball was weak. It seems like kuroko was being considerate of other players.

"Hmm? Are you a new player?"

There coach, who was focused on game, finally noticed me. She thought that I might be one of the new players.

"No. I was here to look at something fun." I said with a uninterested face.

"But... I am disappointed." I continued.

The coach was a little angry after hearing that.

"What do you mean by "disappointed"?" She asked while scanning me from head to toe.

"Exactly what it sounded like. These players, they are too weak." I emphasized on the words " too weak " while looking at kagami.

As I hoped for, this immature kagami caught the bait.

"What the hell do you mean by "weak", bastard?! You picking a fight?!" Kagami shouted towards me with anger.

"Calm down kagami. You are not allowed to resort to violence." Their captain stopped kagami.

"But captain--"

"I know but if he thinks that our basketball is too weak, we should defeat him in basketball"

All the players were fuming with anger after my small taunts.

"Coach, please let us play against him."

Their captain asked the coach.

"B-But... Fine." She was hesitant at first after scanning my body but, after seeing the fire in their eyes, she agreed.

"Well then, let's have some fun." I said to all of them as they looked at me with hate filled in their eyes.

----------------

It took a few minutes to prepare the stage for a match.

As I requested, the match was 1 to 5 players. It was me versus the team.

On the other team were, Hyūga, Kagami, Kuroko, Izuki, and Mitobe. The five starters of the team.

After taking their places in their formation, their team started their run-and-gun.

The ball was bought forward by their point guard, Izuki. When he reached near me, he tried to move around me but that was a fake. Instead he shot the ball to the opposite direction, towards Hyūga.

Not letting the opportunity go, Hyūga caught the ball and shot towards the basket as a three-pointer.

The ball easily entered the hoop without anyone stopping it.

But... Kuroko started to look all around the court as he felt a really bad feeling inside his chest.

"Hahahaha!!!" The sudden laughs caught the attention on their team as they turned back to look towards their own basket.

Standing beneath the basket, I had the ball in my hand. I easily tossed it inside their basket.

The high-pitched sound of whistle sounded around the court.

"S-Score, 0 – 2." Their coach said with wide eyes.

"W-What just happened?! I was sure that ball entered the basket. When did he steal it?!" Hyūga asked with a astonished voice.

"No... We never had the ball from the starting." Kuroko explained it.

"When Izuki -senpai arrived near him with the ball, he already stole the ball. The ball he passed to you, the ball you caught, the ball we all saw entering the hoop... It was all a illusion. What that guy used was a form of misdirection, different from mine. I misdirect the attention away from me, but he misdirected all our attention towards the player of our own team." As Kuroko finished explaining, everyone was baffled.
