-Who the hell are you -

-I hate people challenging out of the blue,
-when they don't even tell me their name!

-Who cares what you feel!

-...Well, you can have my name.

-I'm
-Aoimine Daiki.



04
-I heard your name before.
-But that doesn't give you a right to this attitude...

-Hahaha,
-Oi,
-Oi!

-That's why I say I don't care how you feel!

-I don't believe you can win over me,
-I just want to try you out!

-Because no one can be stronger than me,
-I don't waste my effort looking for this non-existant person.

-I am bored, and I want to know how much you can entertain me.



05
-Huh.

-Kise, and Midorima...
-The "Generation of Miracles" is full of arrogant people that annoys the hell out of me.....

-But you're on a league of your own in this!

-I'll teach you a lesson!

-This is tough - I'm aching all around!

-Can we even continue into the afternoon?

-....But,
-To think Kuroko's middle school manager come....


06

-That's nice....
[Words below]
Heart throb

-The afternoon training menu is tripled!

-Wait! This.... We'll die!

-Yes - die!

-What!?



07
-Congratulations on entering the Final league!

-Congratulations on your side too.

-Eh? Did I say that?

-Yes you did.

-Ah,
-haha, did I?

-Yes.

-So the next time we meet,
-will be on different benches.

-Yes.

-I saw the video of you all against Midorima kun.

-That was a great match.
-His name's Kagami kun?



08
-He....

-was so like Aomine kun in the past.

-....You're right.

-When I see you two play,

-it reminds me of the past.
-You and Aomine, you used to get along best among the Generation of Miracles.



09
-Yes!
-Nice pass, Tetsu!

-As always, you two are compatible to the point of annoyance.

-Kurokocchi, you should pass to me sometimes!

-Try saying that to Captain.

-Haha.

-Yeah, why is that so!

-There is nothing common between us,
-except basketball!

-Huh, "why"?

-...Because Kuroko is a shadow.

-Huh?

-The strong the light, the deeper is the shadow beneath the light.
-The stronger his partner is, the better Kuroko's ability is brought out!

-It's not like the rest of us can't use his powers.



10
-But then,

-the strongest is you.

-And the best person to tag with him is,

-the one who can bring out his best.

-.......

-Oh~



11
-Ei!
-Oh!
-Ei!

-Cheers.

-Cheers!

-Sorry,
-we spent too much time talking about strategy.

-I'll join as soon as I warm-up.

-Hey?
-Where's Aomine?

-He went away somewhere.

-He skipped training again...

-Mine,

-what can we do?

-And,
-Sakurai.

-Eh, ah?
-I'm sorry!

-Huh?

-We're from the same class and I tried to stop him,
-But I failed.

-I'm really sorry for being alive...

-Nope, that ok....
-you're sorry for being alive!?

13
-I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
-I'm a bug!

-Bug?
-That's enough,
-If you go on that'll become annoying.

-Ahh I'm sorry!
-Sorry for annoying you!

-How long you want this to go on!

-Momoi is not here too.

-That's fine.

-Or rather, that's her job to be out.

-Aomine kun's....

-play style when he was with Kuroko kun,
-was still what I like best...



14
-Then he started to play alone,

-and was ostrasized by the team.

-I though he'll change if he loses someday....

-But he never loses.

-No one stopped him.... from becoming alone.

-Ah, I'm sorry.
-Bring out this past matters like that...

-Will he change.....

-What?

-.....If I win and stop him?

-What? But...

-I know he's strong.
-But...



15

-I don't fight this battle alone.

-That's weak -
-You really did manage to defeat Midorima?

-You...!

-Yeah right, because Tetsu was there too.

-But if that's the case, that's really sad of him!

-He's a shadow.

-Shadow are the strongest when there is a strong light.

-With a light like you he'll become weak too!



16
-Your light,



17
-Is dim.



18
-I'm going back to school for lunch.
-Our training session start 1pm.

-I've talked to Kuroko kun,
-I'll take leave.

[Background guys]
-Yes~

-That's enough of you all!



19
-Momoi san,

-I promise.
-I'll win Aomine.

-...Yes

-Oh,
-isn't that Satsuki!



20
-Why are you here!

-Wait!
-That's my words!

-We have training today!

-Ah-

-I met Kagami.

-I told you not to!
-He isn't healed yet!

-You're noisy! I know!
-Anyway I'm the one disappointed!

-I though he'll at least be challenging but he bores the hell out of me.

-I don't feel like practising after this -

-Ah... I feel tired.
-Let's go and eat....

-Wai...!



21
-Even discounting injury...
-he can't be great!

-Tetsu is blind to see good in him!

-Kagami....
-Is no player to bring out the best of Tetsu's ability.

Next week : Realizing the overwhelming power difference between him and Aomine, what will Kagami do?
