Chapter 49: LV2

Aizen used the evolution capsule on [Metavision].

Instantly, the skill was transformed.

Aizen didn't feel anything during the process, but once it was over, the system sounded a prompt.

[Ding! Skill evolution completed.]

[Metavision LV2]

[Ability 1: Deduction time 1.5 seconds, can see three weaknesses of the opponent.]

[Ability 2: God's perspective-same frequency: not only observe the whole field of vision but also see the subtle rhythm of the team, allowing you to affect the team's operation through passing and gradually sync your teammates with you.]

Aizen carefully looked at the skill details displayed by the system.

The first ability was simple: the deduction time increased by 0.5 seconds. This was a significant change. Even with just 0.5 seconds, Aizen had used this skill to a magical level. Now, with three times the deduction time, Aizen could see that if he continued to battle Aomine, his opponent would have no way to counter him. Of course, this was the current Aomine. Given his evolution speed, it was unlikely he'd remain stagnant.

Then there was the increase in the number of weaknesses he could see in his opponent. This ability had been the least impressive among the three abilities of [Metavision]. However, now with the increase in number, Aizen felt this skill was gradually showing its true power. Aizen could imagine moving casually and having his opponent's weaknesses appear. The opponent might not even know they had a flaw, but Aizen would capture it, making the defender seem like a sieve.

Aizen was very satisfied with the changes in these two abilities. In fact, if the evolution had stopped there, he would still be satisfied. But when he saw the effect after the third evolution, he couldn't contain his excitement.

[Ability 2: God's perspective-same frequency: not only observe the whole field of vision but also see the subtle rhythm of the team, allowing you to affect the team's operation through passing and gradually sync your teammates with you. Note: Multiple guidance is required for synchronization.]

At first, Aizen didn't fully understand the specific function, but under the system's annotations, he gradually went crazy with excitement. This ability was a dream come true for leading a team. Aizen's God's perspective had been greatly improved. Now he could not only see the entire court but also observe the status and rhythm of his teammates. He could guide his teammates' rhythm changes by passing the ball, gradually syncing them with himself. Ultimately, the whole team could synchronize with Aizen, achieving a state of extremely cohesive team cooperation.

Once Aizen fully understood this ability, he could hardly contain his expression. He knew that if this skill could achieve full team synchronization, the five players on the court wouldn't need any tactical commands or eye contact for communication. Imagine five players on the court sharing one brain. It was said that a misaligned offense was the best offensive opportunity. But now, with the five players condensed into one, there would be no misalignment in their attack.

Aizen excitedly exited the system page. His body, previously very tired after the game, regained all its energy in an instant. He felt he could play a full game against Teikō again. He looked at his teammates, who were anxiously thinking about the next game. Aizen, immersed in the system earlier, had vaguely heard their discussions. The subsequent game process had not been determined yet. Their schedule might end here, which was cruel for third-year players, who were about to enter high school. This year was their most promising year, but early elimination made it likely they would miss the national competition again.

Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Aizen didn't say anything. He didn't know how to comfort his teammates. They might not only be afraid of elimination but also feel guilty. Seeing Aizen fighting alone against the opponent while they couldn't help was painful and made some of them doubt themselves. In this situation, Aizen said nothing. He left it to time, waiting for the final announcement from the event organizer.

Aizen looked out the bus window, deep in thought. If [Metavision] had evolved before the game with Teikō, would the result have been different? Even if he didn't win, Teikō would never have had an easy time.

...

The next day, Aizen went to school as usual, showing no signs of negative emotion from the game's loss. He appeared on campus with his usual demeanor. When his classmates saw him, they became less emotional, fearing they would make him unhappy. They had learned about the basketball team's loss through the media, which exaggerated Aizen as a warrior fighting alone. Despite his absolute strength, his team had lost to Teikō. However, his 81 points couldn't be overshadowed, making students feel sorry for him. They didn't want to disturb him, assuming he was in a bad mood.

"It seems he isn't affected at all."

"Yes..."

Aizen was accustomed to all this. If one day there was no chatter around him, he would feel uncomfortable. After finishing a day's classes, he went directly to the basketball department, eager to test the strength of his new skills.
