Chapter 8

Rei clicked his tongue, feeling fortunate that he had maxed out the "Endure Hunger" skill first.

[Endure Hunger Level 5 (max)]

Without this skill, he would have gone broke from eating.

He chewed each bite five or six times, savoring the taste of the food before calmly swallowing it, far from the wolfish devouring of Baki.

After finishing a plate of rice with toppings, Rei also finished the chicken cutlet, drank down a ton of cola, and patted his stomach, indicating he was full.

The three basketball team members, who were curious about Rei's undisclosed combat strength, hesitated... is that it?

Two pairs of skeptical eyes stared at Riko, making her face slightly embarrassed. She had just boasted in front of the two team members that only Rei could match Baki's appetite. But in the end, after eating a bowl of rice and two dishes, he was full. While it was enough for an ordinary person, compared to Baki...

The difference was enormous.

"Cough, maybe Rei-kun is going through a fat loss period. Everyone's physique is different. Even I, under extreme anger, once did a slide tackle...blah blah blah." Riko held up a finger with one hand, the other behind her back, pacing back and forth in front of Kagami and Kuroko.

"Alright... Alright, Coach, you're right." Kagami, seeing this, didn't argue. He didn't know if Riko could do a slide tackle under extreme anger, but she could definitely torture him during their afternoon basketball team training.

"Senpai, are you full?" Kuroko had also appeared next to Rei at some point and asked.

"He's appeared again! The mysteriously appearing blue-haired guy!" Hana was almost scared out of her wits by the sudden appearance of the elusive Kuroko.

"Kuroko, former Emperor's Light Middle School basketball team member, won three consecutive national championships in junior high, known as the Phantom Sixth Man. He has very low presence, but because of that, there's not much to say about him." The voice of Motoharu echoed leisurely.

Following behind was Iori.

These two stuck together like glue every day. If it weren't for their genders, they would probably have already stepped into another realm... no, gender wasn't that big of a deal either.

As an open-minded parent, Rei would offer sincere blessings.

"Hey! He isn't a girl, why do you remember it so clearly!" Iori found the blind spot in the situation!

Motoharu gave Iori a disdainful look. "Kitahara, we're seniors now. We're no longer the immature boys from the first year. After three years of loneliness, every night crying secretly in bed, I finally understand one thing!"

"Masaka! You've gone too far, Motoharu!"

"Hey, Kitahara, do you know what the girls in school like to talk about the most?"

Iori shook his head.

Seeing Iori's bewildered expression, Motoharu was very satisfied. With conviction in his voice, he said, "Cute guys!"

"Whether it's the athletic type, cute type, wolf type, dog type, these are the topics the girls talk about after class. Only by knowing all the cute guys in the school can you have more topics with the girls!" Motoharu said, pushing up his slightly slipping glasses.

Even though there were lenses separating them by five diopters, Iori could still see the strong determination in those eyes.

"Motoharu, although I don't understand, I'm greatly impressed." Iori leaned over to Motoharu ear and whispered, "Next time you talk to the girls, can you introduce me too?"

"No, Kitahara, with an attitude like yours, it's really hard for me to do anything."

"Adoptive father!"

These two goofballs.

Baki, stuffed the last piece of burger meat into his mouth, wiped his mouth, and stood up from the table. "I'm full, Shao Jiang. After finishing this meal, I think my injuries will be healed."

Shao Jiang's eyes showed little emotion. To be honest, Shao Jiang still didn't quite understand his feelings for Baki, the son of Yujiro. Ultimately, it was just his duty.

"That's great."

Baki words weren't an exaggeration. After eating so much, the blood of the Demon in his body burned even faster, bringing his muscles, which were already quite stable, back to their peak state. The current cast was dispensable.

As Baki left, the onlookers lost interest naturally, each returning to their own tables to eat.

Riko walked up to Rei. "Rei-kun, would you like to come and see the basketball team?"

"Now is the time for the basketball team's training. You can come and visit if you want. Of course, whether you join or not is up to you." Riko spoke, determined to not give up.

Kagami, with a small burger in his mouth, paused. "Coach, I've never heard of the basketball team training at noon."

"What's the big deal? Anyway, you guys are about to participate in the national competition. The schools that joined in this era of miracles are as strong as monsters. If you don't train a bit more, how can you compete with them!" Riko sternly rambled on.

"I have no objections." The low-profile Kuroko suddenly chimed in, almost scaring Kagami.

"Alright, two against one, majority rules. Let's go for training! I'll inform the others." Riko took out her phone and immediately made a call.

"No, I haven't said whether I want to... forget it." Seeing the excited look in Ai's eyes next to him, Rei still didn't refuse. After all, it was indeed a bit boring after the meal, and he had already grown tired of the games on his phone. "Alright."

Upon hearing Rei's agreement, Ai, who was next to him, couldn't contain her curiosity. "It sounds like a lot of fun. The people playing basketball in school are so tall. Does Senpai really fit in? Not to be mean, but does Senpai really have any athletic talent?"

Kuroko: "..."

Rei: "..."

One sentence offended two people. Truly fitting for you, Uzaki-chan.

Rei's gaze gradually lowered. If it were Uzaki-chan playing basketball... it would be like three balls bouncing around on the court.

"I always feel that Senpai is thinking of something very excessive." Hana held her chest, took a step back, and cautiously said to Rei.

Ai stared at Hana. Her face remained smiling, but it made Hana feel a chill in the air.

****************

Basketball court

Riko's charisma and prestige were still very strong. When she made a phone call, all the tall and strong boys in the basketball team stood up straight, waiting inside the gym, arranged according to height.

For fun, Hana directly pulled Ai and stood together, yes, Hana stood at the front, the last one.

Rei, on the other hand, sat outside like an old soldier, calmly watching the court. If he had a military thermos with him, it would have been even more fitting.

"Now, start the warm-up exercises. Run ten laps around the court." Riko gave the command directly.

Warm-ups were to prevent injuries, but what if you got injured during warm-up?

Watching Hana, who had just taken the first step and tripped on her feet, Riko's mouth twitched. This is... both unskilled and playful?

Ai, who was also running along, seemed to have all her strength sucked away as she watched Hana. Her entire body lost its luster.

With a thud,

She fell straight to the ground.

"Hoshino-senpai?"

"Hoshino-senpai!"
