Let's Form a Team! Finale

(With Hyuga and Teppei)

Hyuga asked Teppei in irritation "Hey, where are we going! We are far away from my wat home!" 

Hyuga in annoyance followed Teppei after the latter chased him, even catching up with him. 

Then Hyuga said "I've told you before! I won't play basketball anymore!"

Teppei didn't face him initially and said, "I know, I won't bother you anymore" 

Then Teppei faced him with a basketball behind him and said "But I'll stop if you beat me one-on-one"

Hyuga was shocked and said "Wait what!? You're Kiyoshi Teppei, ex-Seiho player, one of the top four schools! I can't beat you!"

Teppei picked up the ball from his bag and nonchalantly said "I know, so you win if you make at least one basket…" Hyuga's eyed widen at this prideful statement and Kiyoshi added "Or. Do you want me to add another handicap?"

Hyuga was riled up and began to remove his uniform and said "Whether you're Iron Heart or not, I'll beat you!" Then with his uniform out, he said "Don't you dare look down on me. I'll take one basket in an instant!"

30 minutes later

With 11 baskets to zero, Kiyoshi decimated Hyuga in a serious fight and didn't let him score, from inside, outside the basket or even at the three-point. 

So Kiyoshi held the ball and said "Hyuga, give up already." Hyuga immediately shouted "Shut up!" Kiyoshi then told him, "You're wrong trying to give up basketball." Hyuga narrowed his eyes and Kiyoshi added "I won't say anything if you sincerely hate basketball but…" Hyuga cutted him and said "Shut up! There's a difference between you talented people and a normal guy like me!"

Kiyoshi looked at him with sad eyes and said "Whether you have talent or not, it doesn't matter. You and I are the same, I have tasted despair after facing Teikou's Generation of Miracles."

"It's true Hyuga" came from a different voice and when they looked at outside the court they saw Hideki, both of them were shocked to see Hideki so Hideki nonchalantly said, this court's near home. 

Hideki told Hyuga, "To be honest with you Hyuga, after facing Teiko three times in a row and being bested by them for three times every year, my heart was crushed after that last defeat. And after seeing my team in the quicksand of despair and hopelessness. It made me also fall into that pit." 

Kiyoshi remembered his defeat at the hands of Teiko and said, "Yeah. Like Hideki, I thought of throwing away my basketball shoes numerous times. No matter how much I tried, I won't let it go off my hands."

Hideki then walked near them and said "Actually, this one on one you two did, and the seriousness you showed? It shows that you still love the sport." Hyuga narrowed his eyes on Hideki and Hideki said "Dude I know you don't live near here and your home is far from this general area." 

Hideki then said "Stop forcing yourself man." Hyuga snapped and said "Shut up! As if you know everything! I know that already!" Hyuga didn't speak after a second then he suddenly said "That's why every day without basketball is boring!"

After he said that line Hyuga was kind of embarrassed and said "Damn it! I'm out of here!"

As he left, Teppei and Hideki smiled and looked at each other Hideki broke the ice and said "Long time no see Teppei, I see you've also chosen Seirin High huh" Kiyoshi chuckled and said "Yes I have, and seeing you're here also in the same uniform, you've also chosen Seirin as well." Hideki said "Well, same reason, school is near at home."

Kiyoshi smiled at that answer and asked, "So you wanna join us?" Hideki told Kiyoshi, "Well, me and Megumi are on the same boat as Riko. Show me your seriousness and passion and I'll join." Kiyoshi smiled and said "Sure, I've thought of one to make you and Aida-san join! You'll see it." 

Hideki laughed and said "Sure, show me your passion towards basketball Teppei!" Hideki reached out his hand and shook it with Teppei's hand" As the two separated before going home, Hideki stopped Teppei to give his packed food from the cafe, he didn't forget to give him his share.

But there's more, Hideki gave him portion for three people, Hideki had a note written there saying "Of course, I haven't forgotten about your grandparents!"
