Chapter 10:Rewards
The two gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
They walked together on the campus, making a perfect pair—the girl was beautiful, and the boy was handsome.
However, neither spoke first.
"Okay, let's stop here," Aizen said suddenly.
Satsuki, who had been walking with her head down, deep in thought, was startled by his voice and returned to her senses.
"Ah? Oh, okay," she replied.
Aizen looked at her. In fact, he had already guessed her identity before she introduced herself.
Satsuki Momoi's pink hair was quite recognizable, and combined with the fact that they were at Teikō Junior High, she could only be Satsuki Momoi.
Aizen saw that she wasn't speaking and decided not to beat around the bush.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" he asked directly. "Besides, we don't seem to know each other."
"Uh... Don't get the wrong idea, I just came to get to know you," Satsuki stammered, pursing her lips.
She was usually lively and outgoing, but in front of Aizen, she felt uncharacteristically restrained.
Ignoring her embarrassment, Aizen continued, "I know you're the manager of Teikō Basketball Club, and you're responsible for intelligence gathering."
As if thinking of something, Aizen's mouth curled up slightly with a hint of playfulness. "You came to make up for the loss of intelligence?"
Aizen knew that as a professional intelligence collector, she hadn't shown up during the game.
As the owner of Metavision, he was sure he wasn't wrong.
The reason for her absence was simple: she thought Jianguang was too weak to bother with.
But now, seeing Aizen's performance on the court, she had hurried over to find him, obviously recognizing his abilities.
Satsuki had her own plans, wanting to proceed step by step. But seeing Aizen being so direct, she couldn't play it safe anymore.
Adjusting her state, Satsuki regained her composure and said, "I just went to see Kise, and he said you're very strong."
"Anyone praised by Kise must have reached an incredible level of strength."
"So, I definitely had to come see for myself!"
"And, as you said, I am an intelligence collector."
"I..."
Aizen interrupted, "Let's get straight to the point. If you're here to gather intelligence, today isn't the day."
"Don't tell me you think you can learn all my secrets just by talking."
Satsuki, realizing he wouldn't let her continue with small talk, revealed her intention directly: "Players like you always seek strong opponents to compete with!"
"I understand the minds of geniuses like you very well. I can recommend an opponent for you."
"Aomine Daiki!"
"You must have heard of him. How about it? You two could play one-on-one."
Aizen listened calmly, understanding her true intention.
This girl was very clever, and as expected, she had two plans.
First, she wanted to use a one-on-one match with Aomine Daiki to observe Aizen's strength closely.
Second, she was betting on Aizen's strength. If he was indeed strong, it could reignite Aomine's passion for basketball.
Aizen knew this girl well. In the original story, she was very close to Aomine, and they were childhood friends.
She even went to the same high school as Aomine.
So, her real purpose might only be to stimulate Aomine, with gathering intelligence being secondary.
Aizen, wanting to tease her, responded with a nod of approval: "You're right, having a high-level opponent is very good."
"I do want to compete with masters, but..."
Hearing this, Satsuki smiled, thinking Aizen was going to agree.
A player with Aizen's strength couldn't resist the temptation to play against Aomine, right?
Before she could fully smile, Aizen continued, "But, I really don't have time today. My teammates are waiting for me to have dinner together."
With that, Aizen waved his hand and prepared to turn around and return to the team.
Seeing this, Satsuki hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, it won't take long. A one-on-one duel is quick, just over ten minutes. If possible, I will find him now."
Her anxiety was evident, and her earnestness almost made Aizen feel a bit sorry for her.
But he didn't want to waste time, so he said, "If you want to play with me, let him come to Jianguang to find me as a challenger. You can pass this message to him. Today's not the day."
After that, Aizen waved his hand and left.
This time, Satsuki didn't try to stop him further. She understood that he had commitments, and it would be unfair to drag him into a duel right after a game.
The most important thing was that she still had to find Aomine Daiki.
Reflecting on her actions, she realized her approach was wrong.
She could only watch Aizen leave, with a strange look in her eyes.
...
Returning to the team, Aizen saw a group of eager faces.
"Aizen, what's going on?"
"Hurry up and share with us."
"What's your relationship with that girl?" everyone clamored.
Aizen quickly stopped them: "Quiet down! Haven't you seen a girl before?"
"She came with a purpose, almost stole my attention."
"Oh~!"
"Tell us more!"
"..."
The bus was full of laughter as they headed to the hotel.
The coach took everyone to an Indian restaurant, and everyone was very satisfied with the food.
After dinner, since the restaurant was very close to Aizen's home, he said goodbye to everyone and went home alone.
...
Back home, in the quiet environment, Aizen couldn't help but say, "Check the rewards in the system!"
Ding!
[Task completed! ]
[Reward: One draw. ]
"Start drawing!"
With a command, a large turntable appeared in front of him and began to spin from slow to fast.
During this period, Aizen saw a lot of strange things.
For example: growth potions, buffs, character skills, etc.
What excited Aizen the most was seeing characters like Itoshi Rin, Itoshi Sae, and many strong players from Blue Lock.
But the pointer of the roulette wheel slid over all of them without exception.
Finally, the pointer stopped.
[Character ability drawn: Rensuke Kunigami - Confrontation Core. ]
[Ability introduction: When in physical contact with the opponent, you can maintain core stability to the greatest extent, ensuring your technical moves on the court remain calm and controlled. ]
