Chapter 85: Chapter 3: Arrival at Destination
Hiroshima Central Gymnasium.
The schedule notice board in front of the square.
Everyone from the Shohoku Basketball Team stood there, their eyes fixed on the schedule announcement on the bulletin board.
Since they had already carefully reviewed the competition schedule on the train, everyone at Shohoku looked calm and not overly surprised.
"It's you!" At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind Shohoku and the others.
Everyone turned around and saw the members of the Kainan basketball team walking towards them.
Walking at the front was Shinichi Maki, who had a strong aura.
Shinichi Maki raised his lips slightly, and said with a hint of teasing: "I didn't expect you to be in a group with Sannoh and Aiwa."
Nobunaga Kiyota gloated from the sidelines and echoed, "It's great to have you guys to deal with Sannoh."
When Hanamichi Sakuragi heard this, he immediately flew into a rage and shouted at Nobunaga Kiyota: "What did you say, wild monkey?"
Nobunaga Kiyota grinned and snorted disdainfully: "Even though you defeated us, it doesn't mean you can defeat Sannoh. You might just go home in disgrace."
After saying this, Nobunaga Kiyota laughed unbridled.
Ha ha ha ha...
Looking at the arrogant look in front of him, Hanamichi Sakuragi gritted his teeth in anger, wishing he could hit him with his head immediately.
At this time, Takenori Akagi looked serious and said loudly: "No matter who the opponent is, we will spare no effort to defeat them, even if it is Sannoh."
Shinichi Maki nodded slightly, a meaningful smile appeared on his face, and he said: "I am looking forward to it. I also want to see how far the rising Shohoku can go."
As he spoke, he glanced around, a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Why don't I see him?"
Um?!
Takenori Akagi subconsciously looked behind him and found that Jack Carter was indeed not there, so he replied: "Who knows where that guy went, maybe he fell behind."
"How shameless you are." Suddenly, a mocking voice came from a distance.
Everyone looked over when they heard the sound.
They saw a group of people walking towards them not far away.
Shohoku and the others took a closer look and immediately recognized that this group of people was none other than the Toyotama High School basketball team that had previously had a conflict on the train.
The person who just spoke was Minoru Kishimoto with a ponytail.
He looked at the Shohoku people with disdain and said disdainfully: "Just relying on them? They really don't know what they are talking about. They think they are invincible just by participating in the national competition. It's really laughable."
"It's you again." Hanamichi Sakuragi couldn't help but say with anger on his face.
Takenori Akagi didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he quickly said, "Ignore them."
Minoru Kishimoto turned his head and looked at Shinichi Maki, and said sarcastically: "It seems that one corner of the top four has collapsed!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Kainan team members changed, and they looked at Minoru Kishimoto unfriendly.
Shinichi Maki and Minoru Kishimoto stared at each other for a long time before slowly speaking: "Sorry, who are you?"
Ha ha ha ha...
After hearing this, Nobunaga Kiyota and Hanamichi Sakuragi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Minoru Kishimoto's face turned red instantly, veins popped out on his head, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out.
At this moment, a thin boy with short hair parted in the middle walked out from the Toyotama team. He said provocatively with a proud look on his face, "Hey! Are you looking for trouble on purpose?"
Hanamichi Sakuragi glanced at him, put away his smile, and turned serious. He replied coldly: "Oh? Are you itching to do it?"
At this time, a boy with a square face and rough features walked out of Toyotama's team. He looked fierce and shouted, "Do you want to fight?"
For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, as if the air was about to freeze. Both sides were on the verge of a conflict, and it seemed that it would turn into a mass bloodshed in the next second.
Ahaha…
A yawn suddenly sounded.
"Get out of the way."
At this critical moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded, breaking the tense and solemn situation.
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
They saw Jack Carter and Kara Smith appear behind the Toyotama team at some point.
The road ahead of the two was blocked by the two Toyotama team members who jumped out and shouted.
The skinny boy with short hair saw Jack Carter and asked with hostility, "Who are you?"
Another boy with rough features also shouted, "You've come to the wrong place, leave now if you know what's best for you."
In Jack Carter's eyes, these two guys were just two little Karamis and were not taken seriously by him at all.
He said again in a calm tone: "Get out of the way."
As he spoke, he glanced at the two of them inadvertently.
Just a casual glance.
Although he did not release any aura, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
But just this one look made the two people who had just been yelling at him shut up instantly.
At that moment, a chill surged from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were being stared at by a hungry beast.
For a moment, the two of them stood there as if they had lost their souls.
Jack Carter stepped forward, and the two men looked stunned and subconsciously made way for him.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, Jack Carter calmly walked between the two of them.
Kara Smith followed closely behind.
After a long while, the two men came to their senses and looked at Jack Carter with confusion and fear in their eyes.
They were somewhat suspicious whether they had just experienced an illusion.
The Shohoku, Kainan, and Toyotama people standing by all looked confused, not knowing what had just happened.
What just happened?
It seemed like something happened, but it also seemed like nothing happened.
Minoru Kishimoto came back to his senses from his daze, and seeing Jack Carter's actions, his eyes widened with anger, and he was about to curse. "You b*****d, stop right there..."
He recognized Jack Carter, who had scolded him before on the train.
"Kishimoto..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a stern scolding.
A young man walked out of the Toyotama team. He was tall and slender, with neat black hair, sharp eyes under his thick eyebrows, and a firm look on his well-defined face.
This person is none other than Tsuyoshi Minami, the captain of the Toyotama High School basketball team.
Tsuyoshi Minami spoke up: "We are not here to fight."
Then, he looked at the Shohoku people, and finally fixed his eyes on Jack Carter. "Who is stronger? We will see tomorrow!"
He felt that Jack Carter was not simple.
He saw all the previous scenes.
After that, he said to the Toyotama team behind him, "Let's go."
Looking at the backs of the Toyotama team going away, Shinichi Maki turned around and warned the Shohoku people: "You better be careful about Tsuyoshi Minami."
Ayako reacted quickly and asked alertly: "Is it because of a deliberate foul?"
Shinichi Maki was a little surprised, but nodded.
Hanamichi Sakuragi patted his chest and said carelessly: "Don't worry, Kara has already investigated all the information of Toyotama people, and those idiots don't know it yet! Then we will see how we can crush them to the ground!"
Hahahahaha…
After saying this, Hanamichi Sakuragi put his hands on his hips and laughed triumphantly.
"Kara, let's go too! Don't bother with that idiot." Jack Carter said coldly.
The other people in Shohoku seemed to have the same idea. They ignored Hanamichi Sakuragi and left on their own.
"Hey! You guys..." Hanamichi Sakuragi looked at the backs of the crowd, yelling in shame and anger, and then hurriedly chased after them.
Shohoku and his team gradually walked away, leaving only the Kainan team members standing there.
Shinichi Maki looked deep in his eyes, remembering the feeling Jack Carter had just given him. "This guy... is becoming increasingly difficult to understand."
He recalled Hanamichi Sakuragi's words and muttered to himself, "Team...Manager..."
Suddenly, he thought of the girl next to Jack Carter, and thought to himself: "Could it be her?"
He narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help but whispered: "It seems that Shohoku is not as simple as imagined! Maybe they will really ..."
"Captain Amu...what are you talking about?" Nobunaga Kiyota's voice interrupted Shinichi Maki's thoughts.
Shinichi Maki came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, let's go too!"
