"Everyone order whatever you want, don't be polite with me!"
"Hahahahaha~"
After the game, having saved his life, Aida Kagetora was in high spirits as he brought everyone to a small restaurant to celebrate. His emotions were quite excited.
After all, he had been on edge for a week, and now it was all released.
However, Aida Riko couldn't be happy. Thinking about the millions owed to Tendou at home, plus the Evil Dragons team's expenses this week, the venue rental fees, and so on.
The Aida father and daughter would have to live frugally for the next half year.
The young people completely ignored this useless old man, with only Hyuga Junpei trying hard to curry favor.
"That four-eyes on your team - does he have feelings for your coach?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Can't you tell? He's trying to please Aida Kagetora."
Hearing this, Kuroko turned to look at his captain and coach. As if discovering a new continent, he took out his phone and started taking pictures of Hyuga Junpei frantically kissing up.
Then he put down his drink, his ten fingers flying as he frantically pressed his phone keys.
Aomine curiously leaned over and asked, "Tetsuya, what are you doing?"
"Sending photos to show our teammates."
Aomine's expression froze - he suddenly felt this old teammate was a bit wicked. He'd definitely have to stay away from him in the future.
Akashi smiled as he watched everyone. Since Aida Kagetora had spent almost all his money, the celebration venue naturally couldn't be called luxurious. In his father's words, it was just worthless roadside trash.
But Akashi really liked coming to places like this, or rather, really liked this kind of atmosphere. Just like back at Teiko, they would always celebrate at unremarkable places like this.
Laughing together, eating together, drinking together, with endless topics to talk about. Everything seemed like yesterday, yet unknowingly they were already high school sophomores.
Thinking of this, Akashi couldn't help but sigh, "Time really flies."
"Yeah, everyone's grown up without realizing it," Kise also felt emotional.
"By the way, is everyone planning to continue playing after high school graduation?"
"Of course I'll keep playing. Not only will I keep playing, I want to go play in America." Aomine stated his decision.
"Little forward wants to study abroad in America?"
"Ah, I just decided that." When Aomine talked about this, his eyes were shining. He said, "Just thinking about how there are many more guys as amazing as Nash in America makes me unable to contain my excitement."
"Eh, but studying abroad would be tough, right? Basketball team competition would be even more intense."
Kise suddenly felt tempted too. Before, he only had eyes for his Teiko-era teammates.
But after witnessing Nash and the Evil Dragons team, his horizons had broadened considerably.
Aomine's words ignited the passion of several young people. Japan was still too small - the real challenges were always across the Pacific.
"Ring ring ring..." At this moment, Kagami's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Alex?"
"Yeah, the game's over... Tendou? He's right next to me."
"Let him take the call? Okay..."
After chatting briefly, Kagami handed the phone to Tendou.
"Alex wants to talk to you."
"Your master? Why does she want me?" Tendou found it strange but still took it.
After a while, Tendou hung up with a somewhat subtle expression.
Kagami asked, "What's wrong? What did Alex want with you?"
"Nothing much. She said a high school basketball team coach took a fancy to me and wants to invite me to come study and play there."
??? This statement left Kise and Aomine, who had just been fantasizing about dominating American courts, stunned.
How come we just started talking about this topic, and before we can even implement it, you're already being invited?
"Is your master a high school principal, Kagami?"
"No..."
"Then why can she invite Tendou?"
"It's because of today's game..."
Kagami briefly explained the situation. He was actually a bit puzzled too, since his master had been recommending him, yet they took a fancy to Tendou instead.
It was like Stephen Chow and his friend going to TVB for training together, but Stephen Chow wasn't selected while his accompanying friend was chosen instead. The feeling was just...!
"So, little Tendou, are you going?" Momoi didn't doubt the invitation's authenticity, just felt conflicted.
With the level Tendou had displayed today, any coach who wasn't blind would know how high his talent was. The problem was, if little Tendou went there, what would happen to her?
"Why wouldn't I? But whether I accept the invitation or not, I haven't decided yet."
With his talent, he didn't worry about not being wanted. Now it wasn't schools choosing him, but him choosing schools.
However, Tendou's real reason for not giving an answer wasn't entirely this.
...
That night, Tendou returned home alone and sat down on the living room sofa.
"Kuroko's Basketball plot is all finished. How do I collect popularity points next?"
This was what Tendou was considering. Amanai Riko was still lying in his necklace, but the popularity points weren't gathered yet. What should he do?
The short-tailed cat licked its paw and said, "Check the system first. After clearing a dungeon, new dungeons should also open up."
There were other dungeons? That meant going to other worlds?
Tendou opened the system and indeed saw that a new option had been added. It was called [New Chapter].
The specific world wasn't specified - it should be random in nature.
"Will I suddenly run to another world? I mean the kind of other world where they casually destroy the world."
"This is random transmigration. I can't give you an answer either." As expected.
Japan produced way too many anime - at least 200-300 animated works per year of all types.
Even if he didn't transmigrate to another world, who knows, when he opened his eyes again, he might have to fight zombies with girls.
"Another question - if I transmigrate, can I come back here?"
"Yes, worlds you've cleared, you can enter and exit at will. Time will also freeze at the moment you left, so it won't affect your life. This is a reward for clearers."
That wasn't bad. In a sense, he could be said to have achieved immortality. With unlimited lifespan and life.
The problem was, he still hadn't obtained the item to return to the real world.
"Last question - if the transmigrated world doesn't suit me, like if it's too dangerous, do I have the right to switch to another?"
Tendou was serious about being afraid of death. Japan had too many insane authors, especially in the 80s and 90s, with particularly many violent and explicit anime where danger lurked everywhere.
"No."
"Alright."
Tendou was somewhat disappointed, but he still didn't plan to give up.
"Since I can come back anytime, let me go take a look first."
Thinking this, Tendou directly clicked on the transmission portal. The next second, a familiar feeling swept over his entire body again, as if he were being sucked into a black hole.
When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived in a completely new world.
Greeting him was a black and white ball speeding toward him from the distance, heavily smashing into his handsome face.
"What the hell!"
...
NEXT WORLD IS... BLUE LOCK!!!
