"Kasumigaoka-san, shouldn't you be stopping him? He will get himself trouble..!!" Shiro asked Seiya's girlfriend who was just watching the show from a distance.
There was nothing he could do to stop the situation from getting worse as Seiya was completely surrounded by the basketball club and his mouth was not showing any signs to stop mocking them.
"There is no point stopping it. He knows what he is doing." Utaha said and then grinned, "Besides, I have a feeling that we will get to see another cool side of my boyfriend."
Shiro shivered as he realized that Seiya's girlfriend is more cunning than Seiya. No wonder they suit each other so much.
On other hand, Seiya narrowed his eyes when he realized the source of the voice.
"Kise Ryota." Seiya also walked towards him and smirked, "Seiyacchi? I don't remember if we were closer."
"Oh common, don't be like that~! Remember when we were so small and you were so great child act-…" Before Kise could finish his sentence, he caught the ball right in front of his face.
"Watch your mouth Kise, I am warning you!" Seiya glared. From his enraged tone, even the surrounding players got on their toes.
Seiya Kodama, a name that Seiya has bad memories with and didn't want to hear that name.
"My bad but…" Kise said then threw back the ball towards Seiya. "Shouldn't we take this matter to the game?"
"To get an apology from a stubborn kid? Forget it. I am not so petty to play a game only for that." Seiya said and bounced back the ball.
"Oh no, sir. Mitsuhiro will apologize regardless since it was his fault but there is another catch. I also have a tiny bit of pride as the weakest of generation of miracles." Kise said and threw the ball again.
"I am listening," Seiya smirked and bounced back the ball.
Spectators were only looking at the ball, left and right, and thinking if they should bring popcorn.
"One on one, two rounds of 15 minutes each with a 5 minutes break. Whoever scores 50 dunks or has the highest score at the end of time end wins. If you lose then you will take your words back and join our club till Interhigh. How does that sound?" Kise smirked and passed the ball to Seiya.
However, before Seiya could reply, he saw a holographic screen.
[A sub-quest has been triggered.]
[Sub-Quest: Slam dunk.
The narcissist was challenged on the basketball court. So let's save your pride and win this game in a thriller.
Objective: Win the match.
Rewards: 120 system pints, +30 CHA, +30 LUC, and ???
Note: The hidden reward and its level will be determined from the ultimate outcome of the game.]
[Accept: Yes/No]
'Neet!' Seiya smirked and accepted the quest.
"Fine by me but then the whole basketball team will owe me a favor if I win," Seiya said and pass the ball, this time, to the captain of the basketball team, Yukio Kasamatsu.
Yukio looked at his coach Genta Takeuchi who shrugged his shoulders.
"Sigh* Fine by me. Kise is ace of our club so I guess he won't lose." Yukio said and then looked at Seiya, "Match will start in 10 minutes."
Seiya shrugged his shoulders and went towards his friends.
The basketball team also returned to the stadium to prepare for the match.
"Whoa! Two handsome guys just challenged each other! Let's inform others!"
"Yeah, we will get to see Kise-sama in a real match!"
"I will be cheering for that brown hair guy, he was kind of cool!"
All the girls witnessed the confrontation between two handsome dudes and start gossiping. They even started to invite their friends to see the match. There was even Kise's fan club that started circulating the news like wildfire.
"Tch, why do we have to endure so much humiliation?!"
"Yeah, let's report to teachers of their bet."
"Yeah, there is no way we can let all the girls' hearts taken away. We deserve something!"
"YEAH!!"
And the single boys association went to the staff room to inform teachers. They also have pride although it is invisible for the moment.
"Seiya, are you serious about that match?! He is from the generation of miracles with rare talent and is also the ace of the basketball club. You should have held back." Shiro said with a stressed face. Who would have thought that a minor accident will involve his friend and the whole basketball team in a match?
"Boyfriend-san… I am also fine with the match but I don't think the bet is worth the trouble." Utaha added with a little shaken voice. She was happy to see her boyfriend's cool side but she didn't think that the bet Seiya proposed was fair. On other hand, she also didn't want Seiya to become part of such a tiresome sport.
As for why she was shaking, well…
However, as both of them looked at Seiya, they were shocked. There was not a single shroud of fear or anxiety on this guy's face. Instead, his expression was telling them that it was all part of his plan.
"Humph. You have no idea how I used to play in junior high. Just wait and watch how I crush that punk!" Seiya gritted his teeth with a smile. He then thought for a second then looked at Shiro, "Shiro, can I trouble you to bring me some drinks? It's okay if you are not feeling well."
"I am absolutely fine, Seiya, thanks to your aid before. Just say what you need." Shiro smiled.
"Thanks, buddy." Seiya nodded and wrote a list of certain drinks including their source so Shiro doesn't have to look elsewhere.
Shiro nodded and then left Seiya and Utaha alone.
"What's up? Why are you so quiet?" Seiya asked the quiet girl.
He was a little sorry for the girl since she doesn't like the crowd but he can't spend time to make up with the aloof since he knew that Utaha understands him more than anyone so he was not very concerned.
"B-boyfriend-san… you, you were kind of cool so…" Utaha blushed while squeezing her legs.
Seiya was confused until he turned his attention to her legs and saw a string of funny juice leaving Utaha's skirt.
"Oh, God!" Seiya looked around and after finding no one, he picked Utaha and ran towards the changing room.
"Wait, I don't have spares."
"I have."
"How?"
Inventory, naturally. He had everything that his girlfriend would need including a separate collection of stockings and different kinds of outfits.

"Oh isn't that Kanie-senpai and Kise-senpai?!"
"Yeah, they are looking so cool!"
Eriri noticed her friends chatting about a hot topic that was circulating about Seiya and another student Kise Ryota. Well, she was not surprised much since with Seiya's personality, that guy was bound to get into trouble although she was curious about the cause.
"Oh, Sawamura-san! Look, isn't that your senpai from grade school? A match was just decided. I am going to watch!"
"Yeah, I am so excited! I am going to watch it!"
The girls in Eriri's art club then decided to pack their things and go for the match.
"Sawamura-san, aren't you coming?"
'Of course, I have to see him!' Eriri thought then spoke after a soft cough, "I guess it will be a bit relaxing to see them. I am tagging along."
Although outer Eriri was calm, her heart was beating with excitement to see her senpai. She was more than happy to see him in action.
As for why she was excited to see Seiya, even she didn't know.

"Sensei, our classmate Seiya Kanie just made a huge bet with Kise Ryota of class 2-C. Please, you have to stop them."
"Yeah, even the coach of the basketball team approved of such act. We can't stand for such misconduct!"
Several boys suddenly barged into the teachers' staff room and started complaining to their respective homeroom teachers.
"Understood. If that should be the case then I will stop the match." Mafuyu said as some boys from her class also came to complain.
She was not expecting Seiya to get into this kind of trouble as he was very punctual in class and tests even though he was mostly seen dozing off in her class.
"However, if I found this complain as an act of a bully, you all have to make an apology letter ten times," Mafuyu added leaving the boys shivering on their spot.
She knew that a talented student like Seiya usually ends up the target of abuse so she can't let them bully Seiya.
---
The basketball stadium was bustling with students while three boys were on the court ready for the brawl.
Seiya was wearing a sleeveless black jersey while Kise was in blue.
"Are both parties ready?!" Yukio who was acting as the referee asked both the players.
Both Seiya and Kise nodded with their eyes fixated on each other's movements.
"Then from the count of three, I will start.
3!
2!
1!"
Yukio then tossed the ball in the air.
"START!"
