Looking at Kuroko Tetsuya standing in front of him, Mitsui Daichi was a little dazed. He seemed to see himself in his previous life lying on a hospital bed, but his eyes were full of love and yearning for basketball. The look in Kuroko Tetsuya's eyes now was just like his own back then, so tenacious.
Even though I know I have a poor foundation, I still want to try to do what I can. But thinking of Kuroko Tetsuya who had appeared out of nowhere on the court just now, Mitsui Daichi couldn't help but hesitate. If Kuroko Tetsuya successfully learned the offensive skills, what if he lost the visual guidance?
At least for now it seems that visual induction is completely suitable for Kuroko Tetsuya, bringing out his own characteristics to the fullest. As if he had noticed Mitsui Daichi's unspeakable secret, Kuroko Tetsuya looked at Mitsui Daichi seriously and said, "Don't worry, Mitsui-san, I won't forget my own characteristics."
But this did not reassure Mitsui Daichi. He just looked at Kuroko Tetsuya with a worried look, and then he was defeated in the eye contact with him. At the same time, he also received the tasks assigned by the system.
"Mission: Successfully train Kuroko Tetsuya into a qualified player."
"Requirement: Develop its offensive capabilities to a qualified level without losing its own abilities."
"Qualifying standard: Master four offensive skills"
"Mission Completion Reward: Unlock the Second Stage Trial of Mitsui Shou"
"Penalty for mission failure: None"
This task was almost unusually clever. It seemed that the whole task would not be harmful to him at all, and he could even unlock the next stage of the trial after completing it. However, this also made Mitsui Daichi's expression become mysterious. This task looked easy, but the easier it was, the more difficult it was.
After thinking and weighing for a moment, Mitsui Daichi said to Kuroko Tetsuya: "I agree. From now on, you will train with me and do whatever I ask you to do. But I have a request." Mitsui Daichi stopped talking here, and Kuroko Tetsuya nodded his head excitedly.
"Mitsui-san, tell me what you want! I won't refuse it."
"That is, after you have learned it, you are not allowed to use offensive techniques in junior high school, and you are not allowed to tell anyone else, not even Aomine."
This request stunned Kuroko Tetsuya. He didn't know why Mitsui Daichi asked him to do this, and even looked at Mitsui Daichi with a puzzled look.
But Mitsui Daichi did not explain, but just looked at Kuroko seriously. He wanted to know whether Kuroko would agree to this matter. If he refused, then he would have to give up this task. In his opinion, in order to ensure that Kuroko's abilities would not be lost, he must not expose too much of his abilities during his junior high school years.
When he is able to fully adapt and use his abilities and skills equally, that is when he can truly apply his skills on the court. Especially with this special ability, what better performance will Kuroko have on the offensive end is what Mitsui Daichi is looking forward to.
Seeing that Kuroko Tetsu didn't answer him immediately, Mitsui Daichi didn't care. He just picked up the ball beside him and started practicing shooting. Kuroko Tetsu stood there with his head buried in thinking about the reason for this matter, because he didn't know why Mitsui Daichi didn't let him expose his ability to attack after he learned it.
Although Mitsui Daichi gave him hope of learning offensive skills, he didn't want to expose himself. This didn't seem like a request that would be good for the team. But looking at Mitsui Daichi who kept throwing the ball in front of him, Kuroko Tetsuya made up his mind.
"I agree!"
Hearing the voice of Kuroko Tetsuya behind him, Mitsui Daichi, who was originally shooting the ball, did not turn around, but continued to shoot. However, if someone could see his expression, they would notice that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised at this moment.
Seeing that Mitsui Daichi did not respond to him, Kuroko Tetsuya became anxious. Just when he thought Mitsui Daichi had withdrawn his conditions and was about to leave, he heard Mitsui Daichi's voice: "Okay! Then starting from tomorrow, gather at my house at 4 a.m."
Hearing this, Heizizhe did not show any doubt, but just nodded silently. He knew that his foundation was very poor, so he needed to spend more time to improve himself.
After Kuroko Tetsuya left him, Mitsui Daichi laughed while shooting the basketball. He didn't know if it was right for him to get involved like this, as it might hinder Akashi's plan, but after all, he was not someone who wanted to be bound by other people's special plans.
At four o'clock the next morning, after breakfast, Mitsui Daichi came to the court in the backyard and began to prepare for warm-up exercises. When he finished his warm-up exercises, he did not see Kuroko Tetsuya appear, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He didn't expect that the other party would give up so easily and couldn't even meet such a simple time requirement.
Just as he was still sighing, a voice came from beside Mitsui Daichi, "Mitsui-san, can we start?" This voice startled Mitsui Daichi, who was originally relaxed. He looked at Kuroko Tetsuya who was standing beside him with a basketball in his arms, with an expression of disbelief.
"When did you come? You scared me to death!"
"I've been here the whole time, since you started warming up."
"Then why didn't you call me?"
"I yelled, but you seemed too absorbed in warming up to hear me."
Seeing that every word he said was retorted by Kuroko Tetsuya, Mitsui Daichi realized that the person in front of him was not just a simple cute guy. If he cut his heart open, he would not see any color other than black.
As if to retaliate against Kuroko Tetsuya for scaring him, Mitsui Daichi asked Kuroko Tetsuya to run around the entire basketball court with a few sandbags beside him, and he himself followed suit. There was no communication between the two of them, and after running, Kuroko Tetsuya actually felt a little exhausted.
"I didn't expect Mitsui-san to practice so much!"
"A lot? I think we're just warming up!"
"But haven't you warmed up yet?"
"Oh, that's what you mean. That was just a preparatory warm-up for this warm-up. Now we are going to start the real practice!"
Hearing what Mitsui Daichi said, Kuroko Tetsuya's pupils shrank. Compared with the other people in the same team, the intensity of Mitsui Daichi's training was completely inhuman, at least that's what Kuroko Tetsuya thought. But what he didn't know was that because Mitsui Daichi had been practicing basketball and sword since he was a child, and had the assistance of a system, almost the entire training plan was within the level that Mitsui Daichi could adapt to.
Neither overtraining nor undertraining. At this time, Mitsui Daichi was also looking at Kuroko Tetsuya beside him seriously. Almost at the same moment, the system interface popped up. This was the first time he saw the system have such an effect. At least this thing did not appear when he was looking at other team members.
"Kuroko Tetsuya"
Age: 13
「Height: 155cm」
"Weight: 45kg"
"Physical talent: Very poor"
"Skill evaluation: Poor (nothing good except passing and low presence)"
"Overall evaluation: A weakling among weaklings. He would be crippled if he was hit by a slight collision."
"Preliminary training plan: 1. Physical strength, 2. Physical fitness, 3. Basic dribbling, 4. Basic shooting"
"Advanced training program: 1. Special dribbling, 2. Special shooting"
Looking at the system's evaluation of Kuroko Tetsuya, Mitsui Daichi's eyes twitched. He had thought that Kuroko Tetsuya's physical fitness might not be very good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad. This also made Mitsui Daichi completely unable to find where to start practicing.
Just as Mitsui Daichi was rubbing his forehead and thinking about how to conduct special training for Kuroko, he suddenly heard a "ding" sound in his mind, which made him open his eyes immediately. Sure enough, the system showed a plus sign on Kuroko Tetsuya's character card. When Mitsui Daichi opened the plus sign, a complete training plan appeared in front of him.
He immediately snapped his fingers, and under Kuroko Tetsuya's puzzled eyes, a group of people ran in from outside the stadium. One of the old men said to Mitsui Daichi, "Master, what do you want?" Mitsui Daichi looked at the man in front of him and said, "Give me paper and pen!" Then the group of people took out paper and pen and handed them to Mitsui Daichi.
Then Kuroko Tetsuya saw Mitsui Daichi start to write something on the paper. When he moved closer, he could clearly see the contents of the paper. The beginning was "About Kuroko Tetsuya's training plan." This sight aroused Kuroko Zhe's curiosity, and he also wanted to know how he should train.
"1. Physical training: Since Kuroko Tetsuya's physical strength is too poor, he may not be able to complete a whole game at a high intensity, so he needs to do physical training. The physical training items need to be 15 seconds to 2 minutes per set, and there are 5 overall exercises in a set. The first is the movement exercise using basketball, including sprinting, retreating, defensive sliding, and jumping. It is divided into ZZ-type running on the court, Z-type running on the whole court, hourglass running, and four-square running."
This initial plan made Kuroko Tetsuya's eyes twitch. With such high-intensity training, he would not die on the court, right? But what he saw afterwards made Kuroko Tetsuya start to think about whether he had made the right choice.
"2. Physical fitness exercises: Under the condition of ensuring physical strength, cultivate physical fitness. First, refine the food and try to ensure balanced nutrition in eating. The details are as follows: ... Then, after completing physical training, ensure physical fitness exercises, 30 minutes each time, a total of 4 sets of 6-8 times, first deadlift, followed by push-ups, bench presses, squats and rowing."
"3. Basic dribbling practice: Start with dribbling the ball around the waist, then do basic dribbling practice for a month, and finally do basic breakthrough movement practice. There is no time limit for the total period, and you can practice at any time."
"4. Basic shooting practice: Start with tossing the ball up and down, then practice shooting without a frame, shooting with a frame, fixed-point shooting, moving shooting, etc. The total duration is unlimited and you can practice at any time."
After Mitsui Daichi finished writing the basic training plan, Kuroko Tetsuya beside him became serious. Although it looked difficult, he had to admit that doing so would definitely lead to improvement.
After posting the plan on the wall, Mitsui Daichi dismissed the people around him and said to Kuroko Tetsuya, "Kuroko-san, your practice plan is like this. First, practice your physical fitness and physical quality, and finally start to get familiar with the ball. Then let's get started."
After that, the only sounds on the entire court were Mitsui Daichi's occasional shouts and Kuroko Tetsuya's increasingly heavy breathing. When the time gradually came to 8 o'clock for breakfast, the two of them packed up and ate at Mitsui Daichi's house before heading towards school.
Along the way, the two of them were chatting and laughing about training. Although Kuroko Tetsuya, who had persisted on the first day, felt a little weak all over his body, he could clearly feel his body slowly changing.
While Mitsui Daichi and Kuroko Tetsuya were training, Kuroko Tetsuya did not forget to improve his technique of inducing visual acuity. At least in the subsequent training matches, this technique of Kuroko Tetsuya made everyone around him, except Mitsui Daichi, shine. Of course, this was also what Mitsui Daichi intended.
In his opinion, what he needs now is not fame, but more training and tempering. At the same time, Kuroko Tetsuya, who trains with Mitsui Daichi, finally knows the intensity of Mitsui Daichi's usual training. Thinking that this person can still continue to train with the team, he also takes his training more seriously.
Time passed day by day, and finally Kuroko Zhe made great progress in the second year of junior high school. He basically had a certain shooting and dribbling ability. And because his shooting action had not yet been finalized, it gradually became standard with systematic teaching.
Even during the last game, Akashi and others could clearly feel that Kuroko Tetsuya's physical fitness had changed greatly. At least when they received the pass from Kuroko Tetsuya, they felt the same as when they received the pass from Akashi. This surprised Akashi as well, as he didn't expect that Kuroko Tetsuya would actually improve himself.
Mitsui Daichi, who was watching all these scenes off the court, just nodded slightly. He was also looking at Kuroko Tetsuya's current information through the system. At this time, Kuroko's entire information had also undergone major changes.
"Kuroko Tetsuya"
Age: 14
「Height: 158cm」
"Weight: 50kg"
"Physical fitness: good"
Skill Rating: Medium
"Overall evaluation: After a period of training, initial results have been achieved, but he needs to continue to persevere. He now has great potential and can start the next step of training."
Looking at the evaluation on the system, Mitsui Daichi couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He didn't expect that Kuroko Tetsuya had persisted in such arduous training before, and even increased the weight appropriately. The physical fitness and skills that were originally thought to be only up to the passing standard have now made great progress.
