Chapter 30. Is imitation versus selflessness?

  1-5!

  Akashi's next three serves were all ended with "Rasengan".

  During this period, Kise tried to use Vulcan's "burst" to catch the ball, but the racket was still knocked away.

  Even if you use your hands, it won't work.

  "The realm of selflessness"

  "It's not about taking action after thinking, but relying on the actual experience of the body, unconsciously counterattacking, and using the unique skills of other athletes that you have seen."

  "Only transcendence Only those who have reached their own limits can reach this state."

  Midorima pushed up his glasses and murmured in a low voice, thinking about the information he had learned from Shirazu.

  This realm is very similar to Kise's imitation principle, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

  The state of selflessness will drastically consume physical strength, but Kise's current imitation has no obvious side effects.

  But looking at it now, Kise's "imitation threshold" does not exist for imitation in the realm of selflessness.

  The difference can be seen from the "skills" of one who can beat Shirazu and the other who cannot.

  (What a shock.)

  Holding the tennis ball tightly with his hand, Kise did not rush to serve immediately, but sighed inwardly.

  The selflessness shown by Akashi made him extremely envious.

  Because that was the image he had dreamed of.

  The original intention of wanting to play tennis was also after seeing the "Chidori" played by Shirazu.

  That blue electric light was the most eye-catching scene in his life.

  He still remembers the excitement and excitement he felt at that time.

  Since then, he has been chasing that figure just to imitate his "skills".

  But so far, even if he can imitate the movements of Aomine and Kagami, Shirazu's "ball skills" alone have not been successful

  .   "

  Crack

  !

  "

!"

  After serving the ball, he was greeted by the familiar flash of lightning.

  The strong penetrating force even penetrated the racket in Kise's hand and cut through the iron net.

  "."

  Silently looking at the scorched tennis ball behind him, Kise's eyes became dazed for a moment.

  "Bang!"

  "Bang!"

  "0-40!"

  Although the next two balls were sent out, Kise didn't even make a move to connect the ball.

  Because Akashi always used "Chidori" to hit him back and score directly.

  "Kise! What are you doing!!"

  Outside the court, Aomine, with his hands in his pockets, couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly.

  Isn't it Chidori and Rasengan?

  Why don't you fight back?

  "Yeah! Have you given up?"

  "Think about what you usually train for!"

  Even Vulcan didn't want to watch the battle quietly and shouted.

  He couldn't bear to lose so embarrassingly.

  "What a noisy guy."

  Midorima looked at the last ball unmoved. He knew that Kise was shocked by Akashi's performance.

  If a player has a mental problem, it will be fatal in a duel.

  At this moment, Kise raised his hand and fired the final ball.

  "It's over."

  He even wanted to declare the outcome of the game in advance, but Midorima didn't bother to open his eyes to see the next scene.

  It was nothing more than being beaten back by Akashi with his selfless power to score.

  "Squeak !!"

  ...

  The gaze gradually condensed in the flashing electric light.

  Subconsciously, he clenched the racket in his hand tightly. Before his mind could think about how to act, his body started to move first.

  Even the movements of his bat are gradually getting closer to someone in his memory.

  "Huh?"

  Seeing Kise's figure pursuing a swing, Akashi saw the phantom of Shirazu in him.

  (Looks like it worked.)

  "Squeak!"

  "Bang!"   

  The electric light trajectory in the air formed a "V" shape, and then hit Akashi heavily and ejected in the field.

  "Huh?!"

  "That's..."

  "Oh oh oh!!"

  "Kise-kun"

  Midorima, Aomine, Kagami, and Kuroko were all shocked when they saw the familiar scene. Kagami was even howling. .

  "You are right."

  "I am indeed too arrogant."

  Kise wiped the sweat from his bangs and looked at Akashi opposite him with a bitter smile.

  At this moment, he finally realized what was the obstacle to his failure to fully imitate success before.

  As Akashi previously commented, he is too "arrogant".

  Kise has always been a genius at imitation, and he can easily control any movement.

  It wasn't until I met Bai Jin, and then Kuroko and the others that I gradually realized that I was not "perfect".

  There are things he can't learn, and there are things he can work hard on.

  But in fact, there was always a sense of "fear" hidden in his heart.

  This awareness became even more profound as he was able to imitate the characteristics of other miracles.

  However, he deliberately avoided it and failed to face the problem.

  As if he couldn't bear to break the dream.

  He was afraid of surpassing the miracles.

  If he does that in a real sense, does it mean that he has returned to his old "doing nothing" life?

  During the daily training with others, he had already fallen in love with playing tennis and bickering and communicating with several people in the team, so he hated going back to the boring and lonely life of one person.

  This "disease" lurking in his heart could not be changed even after witnessing the duel between Tezuka and Shirazu.

  Subconsciously, he still believes that he can "easily" surpass everyone.

  It wasn't until he was "woke up" by Akashi that he realized his "arrogant" mentality.

  (When did I have the idea that I could easily surpass them?)

  Kise couldn't help but feel ashamed when he thought of such a silly and ridiculous question.

  In the duels with various Miracles, he had only defeated Kuroko in singles. Why did he think he could become the strongest?

  By dreaming?

  Indeed, he had been immersed in that boring fantasy before, which blinded his heart, resulting in the "skills" he had always seen, and he was still unable to develop them.

  (Stop fooling yourself.)

  (Try to transcend them.)

  Akashi's words echoed in his heart, and Kise also understood the meaning.

  (They are not so easily surpassed)

  That was the core message Akaashi wanted to express.

  Thinking back to the time he spent with everyone, Kise felt relieved.

  Not only will he become stronger, but others will also become more powerful.

  A rising pursuer should not start with arrogant "delusions".

  Let's talk about it again when we can stand side by side!

  The moment he lifted the ball, he twisted his wrist and reproduced the action he had seen dozens of times in his memory.

  "Rasengan!"

  "Zizzizi!!"

  "Bang!!"

  It was like someone was using it, and Kise imitated it.

  The strongly spinning ball went straight to Akashi's court.

  "Humph"

  showed a smile, Akashi changed the racket to his left hand, moved to the position of the ball in small steps, and then swung the racket.

  "Bang!"

  "Squeak!"

  "As expected of Akashi-chan!"

  "Hit the Rasengan back with the Chidori."

  "But I don't think I will lose!"

  Although the naked eye could not completely capture its trajectory, Kise said Trying to imitate Aomine and Kagami's wild chase to the point.

  At the determined position, he once again assumed the posture of using the Chidori.

  "Squeak!"

  "Whoosh!"

  The blue electric light formed like a shooting star in the field, connecting left and right in series.

  The two of them kept attacking each other with Chidori, creating a gorgeous scene.
