Chapter -011-

Plaque..

Toma, who is currently in the special locker room for members of the Kitsunema basketball club, gasped when someone tapped him hard on the shoulder.

"Hey, Toma-kun! Who is the bespectacled female student that you and Shu-kun brought here? It's my first time seeing her." Asked a male student who was tall and slightly dark skinned to Toma.

Toma who saw who the perpetrator had hit his shoulder was annoyed.

"Tori-senpai, break your habit of always patting anyone's shoulder with all your might. What if the person you tap on the shoulder turns out to be injured?" Toma said with a little here making the tall male student called Tori flash a five finger smile on his face.

Plaque.. Plaque.. Plaque.. Plaque..

"Hahahaha! I did this on purpose because I know that all of you I know in this basketball club have no shoulder injuries at all. That's why I will continue to do it as a memory for all of you!" Tori said while laughing and patting Toma's shoulder many times.

Toma, who was patted on the shoulder again and again by Tori, couldn't help but take a deep breath. Yes, fortunately he and the members of the Kitsunema basketball club did not have a shoulder injury. But if Tori continues to do things like this, the existing Kitsunema club members will suffer minor shoulder injuries.

Tori, who remembered her goal of entering the dressing room, approached Toma, immediately stopped moving her hand to pat Toma's shoulder.

"Ah yes Toma-kun, you haven't answered my question regarding the bespectacled female student that you and Shu-kun brought here. Who is she? Does she want to register as an additional member of our club?" Tori asked in succession to which Toma gave a long sigh while shaking his head.

"No, he doesn't want to register as a member of our basketball club, senpai."

Tori raised an eyebrow. "Then why did you invite him here? Or maybe they are one of the crushes of the two of you?"

Toma raised an eyebrow back at Tori in disbelief. "Of course not! Why are we dating a mean and fierce woman like her? She is a friend of Tetsuya Yuki. You must know her, right, who is Tetsuya Yuki."

Tori's eyes widened in surprise when she heard Toma mention Tetsuya Yuki's name. Who doesn't know that name? A name that since three years ago has always filled sports magazines along with all the other members of his basketball club called the Washida club. Although he himself had never competed directly with the Washida Club, by seeing the live coverage of the basketball club's game, he could feel how great their game was.

But what surprised him and everyone else was when the Washida Club stated that they would continue their education at a different school. Not finished with the shock of the news, a few days later Tetsuya Yuki gave an even more surprising statement, the young man stated that he would retire and stop playing basketball. Even though at that time there were rumors that he would be a candidate for the Japanese national basketball team. So everyone who heard the news was very sorry for what was chosen by Tetsuya Yuki, the playmaker with number 00 on the back.

"Then what is he doing here? Isn't Tetsuya Yuki not enrolled in this school?" Tori asked while frowning deeply.

Toma, who heard Tori's question, furrowed his brows, he didn't expect the question Tori had given him.

"Senpai! Where have you been all this time huh? You don't know about the news that Tetsuya Yuki enrolls in this school?? Even last week he officially became a student of Natsu High School!"

Tori was silent for a moment in her place after hearing Toma's words, she was still slowly digesting what she had just heard.

Meanwhile, Toma, who saw Tori still standing there after he said that Yuki attended Natsu High School, sighed again. Was it that surprised that this senior heard the news that Tetsuya Yuki became a student at their school?

Brack!

Toma flinched in surprise when suddenly Tori hit the locker door which was right next to him. Not to mention now Tori was looking at him with his eyes wide in surprise.

"T-tori-senpai?" Called Toma a little scared because Tori's gaze was too focused.

"Toma-kun, are you sure that Tetsuya Yuki is really a student at this school?"

Slowly and slightly hesitantly, Toma nodded his head in response to Tori's question that was thrown at him.

Brack!

Toma flinched again when Tori hit the locker door next to him for the second time.

"Damn it! If I had known from the start that Tetsuya Yuki enrolled in this school, I would have begged him to join our basketball club!" Tori said in a hissing tone.

Toma who just wanted to speak again immediately stopped his intention when Tori looked back at him.

"Why did you just tell me attack Toma-kun?!"

Toma blinked his eyes reflexively several times.

"I thought you already knew like the others senpai. That's why I didn't tell you."

Tori let out a harsh snort, she didn't expect to miss such a big news.

"Then did Eita-kun also know about this?"

Tom quickly nodded his head. "Eita-senpai already knew after looking at the list of freshmen who successfully graduated into this school."

Tori clenched her fist tightly.

"Eita-kun! He knows how much I admire Tetsuya Yuki, and how could he not tell me this important news?! Really that captain!" Tori said with an angry tone and immediately walked out of the dressing room just like that.

Toma who saw Tori had left the dressing room immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hah, I almost did! I thought I would faint on the spot seeing Tori-senpai being angry." Toma sighed with relief.

But he immediately stood frozen after repeating what he had said earlier.

"It's terrible! If Tori-san is angry, then there won't be any basketball practice today! I have to stop her immediately!" Toma said panicked and immediately ran out of the dressing room to catch up with Tori.

Meanwhile, on the edge of the indoor basketball court, Aida's eyes continued to pay attention to one by one the students who were playing basketball.

Aida sighed in relief because she didn't find Yuki's figure playing basketball there at all.

"Hah, thank goodness I didn't see him playing basketball." Aida sighed as she closed her eyes. But suddenly Aida immediately opened her eyes, she thought again, if she couldn't find Yuki in the indoor basketball court building, then where else was that man?

Brack!

Aida, who was just about to leave the indoor basketball court building, immediately stopped herself when she suddenly heard a loud banging on the door.

Aida turned her head to see where the sound of the door banging came from. Aida could see that she was not the only one who was looking for the source of the sound of the door crashing, the students who had been playing basketball had now stopped all of them.

Check..

Now the eyes of Aida and the basketball club students turned to two sources, one was the source of the sound of the door slamming and the other the sound of the door opening, which was more human.

Aida's eyes widened in surprise when she found Yuki's figure from the sound of the door opening more human. Just now Aida wanted to call Yuki's name, but she lost quickly to a male voice that sounded angry.

"Eita-kun! How dare you betray me!"
