38- You can do it!

With the roars of the student of Ousai, everyone felt alive once again, Coach Shirogane could not help but smile as he saw this, "He has such a high charisma, as a leader that is very important, I won't even be surprised if he became the prime minister, learn from it Akashi, a good leader can revive his losing team with words alone"

Akashi looked at Tanaka and nodded, then he looked at his teammates, there was nothing to say, all of them seemed to be more pumped up than the players of Ousai, smiles on their faces, their adrenaline being sky-high.

It can be said that their potential was finally being used into their max potential but from Akashi's calculation, it was still not enough for them to enter the zone, as for him, he felt nothing, it was like something within him was missing.

Deep inside, it was like a driving force was missing, just as he was thinking about it, the next thing he knew, he was inside a black space there was nothing around, other than his reflection, no, it was not him, but a different him.

Then memories started flashing into his eyes, his father, his family, "Seijuro, remember the only thing for Akashi Family is winning and being first in everything, its called perfection, nothing else" then the memory moved on, the next flashbacks shown were the hard work he had done for the past few years just to reach his father's expectation.

Then in the next moment, what he saw was the cold look of his father when he made a mistake once, he didn't want to see that again, Akashi started breaking down as he saw that cold eyes, it was like everything he had done was never enough.

Then the other him in front of him moved forward and extended his hands, "Let me take control, I will show them what is it like to be perfect" Akashi took hold of the hand and slowly he fell asleep.

Back in the court, the Generation of Miracles suddenly felt a sudden change with Akashi's aura, it was intimidating and dominating, Akashi's eyes changed and he was quiet now, then he turned towards his teammates, "Follow my orders" then the match started.

The ball was in Teiko's possession being held by Akashi who was moving forward slowly, his defender was Kenma, they both faced off each other, "Your head is held too high" Akashi dribbled forward and in an unpredictable play, Kenma who was defending lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"What?" Kenma was very shocked when he saw Akashi easily made him fall down, Akashi looked at him in the eyes and shot the ball scoring them an easy 3 points, "Know your place"

The whole stadium suddenly quieted down as they saw this, Teiko is finally starting their counterattack! everyone immediately got excited especially the people from the Teiko Middle School, they had thought that the match is already a loss but to think they are going to counter-attack in the second quarter! this became very exciting!

Tanaka looked at Akashi and immediately knew something changed within Akashi but he didn't care, he looked at Kenma who sitting on the ground with shock, Tanaka patted Kenma on the shoulder and helped him stand up, "Now you have a good match, don't disappoint him" Tanaka said with a smile as he returned to offense.

Kenma looked at Tanaka, he shook his head and nodded, the ball was passed into his hands, Kenma dribbled forward his eyes scanning the whole court then just as he was about to pass the ball, a hand smacked the ball away from his hands.

Akashi took the ball and dribbled the ball forward, he was met up with a fast-moving defender Kuro who immediately appeared in front of him, Kuro spread out his arms ready to stop Akashi from moving forward.

"On your knees" Akashi crossed over and Kuro who was about to turn his body saw that his leg suddenly lost its strength and he fell on the ground kneeling, Akashi only glanced at him before passing by and getting an easy score.

The Teiko got another point, Tanaka and Hiruma glanced at each other, but Tanaka shook his head, Hiruma nodded and continued the game, Hiruma took the ball and passed it to Kenma, "Do your best buddy, you have the greatest talent among us" Hiruma patted him on the shoulders before moving forward.

Kenma looked at Hiruma confused as he didn't understand what Hiruma just said, but he ignored it and focused in the game, this time, he didn't take his eyes off Akashi, he took a deep breath and focused himself.

*Swoosh!

Just as he moved forward, he saw Akashi extended his hand and slapped the ball away from his hands, the ball was then caught by Aomine who dashed towards the other side of the court but was immediately met by Kuro.

"What? when did he appear in front of me?" Aomine looked at Kuro in shock, but Aomine still showed his unpredictable play and got past Kuro getting an easy score, the Teiko cheered as they were finally able to score 3 times in a row!

Kuro patted Kenma on the shoulders, "You can do it, let's try our best to catch up to them" Kuro said some motivating words but Kenma didn't respond, Kuro was concerned that maybe Kenma broke down, so he immediately came in front of Kenma.

And he became intimidated by what he saw, with a smile on his face, his eyes wide open, Kenma stared at Akashi, his cat-like eyes fully showing its intimidating side, like a hunter that had its sight on its prey, not letting it go, take it down.

Kuro backed away then a smile also appeared on his face, 'You are finally getting motivated, Kenma' he could not help be proud as a father, 'Then I won't get left behind too!' Kuro took a deep breath and they turned their eyes towards the Teiko Team, meeting Akashi's eyes.

It was time for a more exciting match!
