Discovery

Classes started and they finished just as fast, Jun was in a sort of autopilot mode, ill all honesty it was boring, and as such he began playing phone games or reading articles online. 

Where something caught his eye. 

[ Teiko Junior High Triumphs Over Yokohama Junior High ]

The title attracted Jun and promptly he read the article readily. It wouldn't be surprising since the land mass was different so he had already come to terms with the fact that he wasn't on the same 'earth'. Besides his hair which in normal circumstances would be albinism or because of bleached hair, here it isn't that uncommon for people to be born with various colorful hairs. There are more common things, like brown, and black hair in Japan, in Europe would be red, blonde, and black hair, but people didn't bother much with these color plays. 

[ Teiko Junior High's talented team coupled with their teamwork and strategic finesse dominated the court in a thrilling basketball showdown against Yokohama Junior High. With precision passes and impenetrable defense, Teiko maintained a commanding lead. Yokohama's relentless efforts fell short against Teiko's cohesive play. Despite Yokohama's resilience, Teiko's mastery secured a decisive win, showcasing their strength. This intense clash highlighted the essence of competitive basketball, leaving a lasting impression of skill, talent, and the pursuit of victory. 

Here are the players who left an impression throughout the match... ]

The article proceeded and various pictures popped up, one eye-catching picture caught his eye, and the youngsters of Teiko Junior High. There he saw the full glory of characters that had been fiction previously but here they were real. 

Wearing the number 6 a tan-skinned youth could be seen smiling, he had short navy blue hair and slanted blue eyes, beside him was a youth wearing the number 4 jersey a black-haired youngster with bangs and light grey eyes, moving to the side wore glasses and had green hair and green eyes his jersey number 7, these 3 were tall for their age but they shrank in comparison to a more reserved giant minding his business adorning his characteristic purple hair and purple eyes number 5 and last but not least was the shortest of them all wearing the number 9 calmly standing with his teammates with red eyes with vertical pupils and his characteristic red hair. 

As surprising as it might be, not far away was a crying kid who was being comforted by a youth who was calmly patting his back. Wearing an orange jersey with white highlights and yellow stripes, wearing the number 10. 

''What the hell is Shiraishi Sei doing here?'' Jun couldn't mistake that poker face, that medium-legged dark hair, and dark eyes.

His eyes roamed around the pictures and even saw Momoi, the delinquent Shogo Haizaki, but unfortunately, he didn't see any other character he remembered in the Yokohama. 

After reflecting slightly, Jun burst laughing in the middle of the classroom during lunch break, surprising his deskmate. '' Waaa! Aomine Daiki, Shuzo Nijimura, Shintaro Midorima, Atsushi Murasakibara, Seijuro Akashi, Satsuki Momoi and Shiraishi Sei. What is this?'' 

Since he didn't want to bother anyone in class or be perceived as crazy he went outside. There in a secluded place, he burst laughing once more. He felt the itch, he couldn't wait and play against them. 

''But...'' He calmed down again and soon a worried expression appeared on his face. ''These guys are monsters in their own right, Sei's team didn't lose that one-sidedly so there are talented players in his team. Meanwhile, here I am with nothing noteworthy. I was good but no way in hell at the level of these monsters. Well, they are fiction while I ain't. Shouldn't I get some sort of power since reincarnated and such?'' Jun sighed while he shook his head, but the thrilled smile never left his face. So much so that it didn't leave his face even till he arrived home. 

There is one thing that the world taught Jun, life is a tricky thing to talk about but you strive toward success, be it fame, money, or just enjoyment, the only way to attain such things as a human is to feel fulfilled is winning. 

Playing an online game isn't fun when you are on a losing streak, playing a sport isn't rewarding if you are losing. Because you only are valued if you win, Victors dictate history, there is no right or wrong, once you win your story is the right story. 

Besides Generation of Miracles (GoM) lost in the anime, so they aren't some monster that can't be defeated. Although tricky and it would take time, Jun knows that he can do it. 

Once he got home, Jun found his mother and little sister watching TV together in the living room. 

''Welcome back Jun, how was school?'' Ayako asked as she got ready to leave the house. It is normal, Hina's school ends first and Ayako leaves work to pick her up and wait for Jun, once Jun arrives home she goes back to work. Office work is a ruthless place. 

''I'm back, it was the usual,'' Jun answered truthfully, as Ayako was ready to leave she hugged Jun and kissed him in the forehead. ''Then I am leaving, take care of little Hina. If something happens call me... Oh, and you have a gift in your room.'' Ayako had a sheepish smile the moment she spoke about the gift. 

Jun just nodded. ''Take care, Mom, don't come running to make dinner, I'll do it.'' 

''Aww so reliable Jun, I'm leaving.'' And that way the house fell into a weird silence as Jun stared at the closed door. 

Somehow this scene felt troubling for him and it made him somewhat sad. But there was nothing to be done. 

Jun stared at Hina who was watching cartoons on TV, her focus was completely on the screen. ''Hina brother is going to change, I will be right back okay?'' 

''Mhm, Okay!'' She said not even glancing at him. 

Arriving in his room Jun found two things on top of the bed. One was a black light jacket (Woven Anthem but looking less synthetic), with the back having words in kanji meaning Certain Victory. There was nothing else on the jacket, Jun liked it a lot, and the second gift was a basketball Jun picked it up he felt the grip all around the ball, and it provided a solid grip, the size of the ball was a little bit big but it wasn't that much of a big deal, and the weight of the ball was okay. 

Jun bounced the ball a couple of times on the floor and smiled. 'This is it.' He began by moving the ball through his legs behind his back and clasped it again. He fell in love with the ball the materials were good too so Jun saw that Ayako had spent quite a bit of money. 

Although worried he still adored the gifts. ''I'll pay you back and more that is for sure.'' He promised himself. 

Changing into some shorts and a t-shirt Jun walked downstairs. He had to watch over Hina so he would need to be close by just in case. 

Training the body can be done anywhere, some people just don't do it because they think too much. At least at home, it is the best place. 

He went to the carpet and began to get on his knees and simply bent his knees and lowered his butt to his heels while pushing his chest toward the ground over the knees. Then it was a matter of lowering the shoulders and the head to the floor with the palm down. 

it is a very basic yoga exercise, but it has its benefits because it is comfortable and sets your breathing up for the rest of the exercises. Then he moved sat on the floor and tried to move his hands to his toes, he wasn't flexible enough but with regular attempts and with patience he would get there. 

''Nii-chan what are you doing?'' A curious voice sounded from the side. 

''I am stretching...'' Jun didn't lose his focus as he answered and tried to place both hands on one of his feet. 

''Can I try?'' Hina jumped off the couch and asked with puppy eyes. She made sure he was looking at her too. 

Jun stared at his little sister's antics, in the end, he nodded. ''Come sit here.'' 

''Yes!'' She beamed as she sat beside her brother on the carpet. What followed was Hina trying to do the 2nd exercise he did trying to touch his feet from a sitting position. 

As she was trying Jun placed his hand on her back and pushed forward. ''Nii Nii it hurts.'' 

''Don't give up Hina you're almost touching your feet, if you touch your feet you will be better than your brother, brother will give you a reward.'' Jun was slightly worried but it is something he should do as a brother. 

The little girl seemed resolute, and slowly inch by inch she managed to get there. 

Kids in the span of 3 to 10 years of age although the growth stage is quite tricky the body is still growing and the various things in the body are way more adaptable like the muscles and the connective tissues, so naturally they are more flexible in these ages, Hina is a bubbly girl and she likes to play, so her flexibility wasn't low to begin with, just because she is just doing it didn't mean she was doing her best. 

So she had to understand the objective of the exercise, the only part that really might have stung was the latter part, and Jun didn't apply much force on her back, it was light pushes, and she would fold on her own. Besides it would benefit his sister in the long run, flexibility prevents injuries, and every day you are subjected to scenarios of possible injuries. 

She could be walking on the street and miss one step, and she could dislocate her knee or tear tissue. The worst injuries are injuries that aren't influenced by 3rd parties. At least on a sportsman's view and daily life. As such he was protecting his little sister from the dangers of the unpredictable world. 

Once Hina touched her feet Jun celebrated. ''Well done Hina, you are great!'' He clapped. Hina got up placed her hands on her hips and puffed her chest. ''Fu fu fu! I am great!'' 

Jun showered her with praise and gave her a big hug as a reward. 

So as he did his workout he was tailed by a little girl who tried imitating him. Jun would help her from time to time. 

His workout was basic he needed to train various muscles for the sport he would play. 

Running: Hips, Quads, Calves, Hamstrings

Jumping: Hips, Glutes, Quads

Shooting: Triceps, Deltoids

Rebounding: Pectorals, Trapezius, Biceps

And today he focused more on his legs and arms. Most home exercises for arms did train chest too so it wasn't a big deal. Basic things. 

Push-ups, Pull-ups, Squats, and leg raises and leg raise and touch the shin with your hands. These exercises although basic are the best to do at home.

Any ideas for characters from any sort of anime, without major stuff like mega world destroying plots and whatnot are welcome, I want to see who can guess from where some characters are from, Mc won't recognize them all although.

As for if you don't well and you start hating, Well you ain't forced to read. Let's be cordial, shall we? Ideas for training, how to write the games and whatever dissatisfaction so long its constructive ill take it.
