Gates

The next few days were uneventful, and just like this, the days go by until the 2nd day of preliminaries.

Zen as been trying his best to enter the so-called 1st gate when the geniuses awaken they get the chance to enter it. But he came to a general idea of the requirement to enter it should be.

He awakened his full potential outside game, meaning that the stimulation wasn't basketball so the gate didn't recognize it and besides he is yet to play a game where he unleashes his The End and Emperor Eye to the fullest, with this in mind Zen just couldn't break through it, He even tried to smash the gate open as Kagami did, but the door simply repelled him, one peculiar thing about his gate was that at the start the gate was normal but the more he tried to smash it open there could be seen changes in the door, each time he came again to try the gate started to emit a golden light as if evolving, which didn't help in the least since it is getting harder and harder to just approach it.

Today is the day of the game, the enemy team wasn't even mentioned in the anime so they are completely irrelevant or weak, taking these thoughts aside Zen is in bed with his eyes closed and is currently in front of the gate, this time though he is just looking at it taking a step forward and placing his hand on it the door which had a silvery color started cracking, first there where minimal cracks, then they expanded until those cracks started emitting golden light and the gate simply vanished, leaving Zen dumbfounded. ''What the actual... How am I supposed to even be the first now?'' shaking his head and prepared to leave the space he found a light in the distance, after walking what seemed hours he came to a stop near a massive golden gate this one was double the size of the original looking more majestic, Zen couldn't resist it and tried to touch it but was immediately blown away, looking at the door again Zen saw words forming at the door.

[The Hardest Walk Is Walking Alone, But It's Also The walk That Makes The Strongest.]

The moment he read these words the first thought was domineering simply domineering after this door appeared a 2nd door appeared, this time instead of golden it was pitch black.

[Sometimes, WE Push the people we love most away from us to protect them.]

Looking at the words Zen pondered and refused the option of pushing away the ones he still can love. Then when he was prepared to go back to reality to ponder he saw himself being surrounded by 2 more doors.

One of them was Red with the following words.

[Let Rage Fuel The Potential To Unlimited growth.]

and the most eyecatching of them all this door had different colors where none had a dominance a complete state of peace, a comforting aura around it looking at this door he saw words in different colors, the first impression is Eye-catching.

[ To stand at the Top one has to feel. Feelings never go away, One has to have room for it and where is Love There's No Limit.]

Looking at the multiple doors he just couldn't help but ponder on them this must be because his potential is leagues apart from everyone else, a gate to accommodate him the monster among geniuses, with this in mind he couldn't help but feel excited but for this decision, he has to ponder seriously which path to lead, something he never did up until now.

And so he stayed there motionless Pondering on which to choose.
