[Welcome to the Rise to Legend System!] With this second chance at life, Kaiden sees an opportunity to rewrite his destiny and fulfill the dreams that were once shattered.
"Welcome, everyone," David Chou started off.
The arena erupted into screams once more. Kai, as well as the other players, even had to cover their ears from the loud noise. However, for the other players, especially those who had set foot in the Nationals before, it just seemed like a normal occurrence.
Kai couldn't help but glance at the Huolan Guardians, who were only three teams away from them. Some of them had smirks on their faces, while Fang remained composed as usual. For someone who only made it to the Nationals for the first time, he seemed really at ease.
"Thank you for coming," David continued. "As you all know, the Interhigh Nationals is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the entire country. It's amazing how high school basketball has been recognized for the past years."
"As a commemoration for our anniversary, the committee applied some new rules. Because of this, 54 teams are standing in front of me—quite a large number."
