Second Chances

Chapter 7

"The gang's all here." The coach declared, as the players, all in their uniform, smiles with determination and motivation. 

I smile too, seeing them ready and confident. Seirin fight!

The captain stood forward. "Let's go!" He said, as everyone of us started walking, onward to the Inter-high preliminaries. 

"Kagami-kun, you look hideous." I commented on Kagami's walking dead appearance, as the three of us walk side by side with Kuroko,

"You couldn't sleep again?" Kuroko added. 

"Sh-Shut up."

We arrived finally in the gymnasium, with the other half of the court being used by the practice of the Shinkyo high, and the other half used for our practicing. 

I was so busy unpacking the towels, waters and stuffs that I haven't even noticed that the captain and the others are all looking at someone, so I've also got curious and look at the direction they were looking. 

"Everything is so short in Japan.." says the Senegal foreign student, his height is the most remarkable. My eyes widen in surprise and amazement, it's just like that I have seen a twin of Murasakibara-kun or something. 

Papa Mbaye Siki.

Biting my lips, I continued organizing our stuffs, but first took a glimpse of the ever-practicing Seirin. My lips curled into a smile, as if I'm assured that Seirin will win. 

No matter what.

Once I'm done organizing the stuffs, I stand up properly, listening to what I heard that "Generation of Miracles aren't that strong" speech by Dad. What on earth is he saying? 

After that speech, Dad walks out, but is stopped when he is bumped by something...I face-palm...I'm pretty sure it's someone..

Dad looks down, gasp as he saw Kuroko, great differences in their height. I sweat-dropped, as Dad suddenly carried Kuroko like it was no big deal. 

"No, little boy. Children shouldn't be on court." Dad said, before he saw Kuroko's jersey. "You're a player?" He asked in disbelief, before putting him down.

Dad snorted, walking away from him. "They lost to a child like him? Are all of the Generation of Miracles children?" 

He sure is underestimating them...

I turn around and face-palm when Bakagami and the others were laughing so hard that the redheaded idiot started rolling on the court. 

"Honestly, I'm starting to get annoyed." Kuroko said, as Izuki-senpai and Koganei-senpai stand properly and act seriously in the background. 

"Ah, Miu." Riko-senpai called me, and I turn around to look at her. "Have you distributed the opponents' data to them?" 

"Don't worry." I reassured her, my eyes sparkled for a moment as my lips formed into a determined smile. "They know everything, and they know what to do."

The coach sighed. "We're following your tactics for now.."

"I've got one worry, though. Dad is underestimating them, and even the Generation of Miracles. I have researched every details about him, but I'm not sure whether his strength and speed are that strong."

"Let's have some faith." 

I smiled, as we watched them gathering for their lineup. "I believe in us, coach." 

"Let the game between Seirin High School and Shinkyo Academy begin." 

"Let's play a good game!"
