Elimination round

'hey what are you doing to our body? Why are we so weak? "Ren asked.

"It is your own fault, you have entered into the circle of seals that I made," said the mysterious person.

"Who exactly are you and what do you want with us?" asked Shin.

"My name is Taro Shouji, the best center owned by Kyoto High School. The person who enters this seal circle will automatically have his stamina temporarily sealed and that person will lose his stamina, '' said the person introducing himself while explaining his abilities.

"Quickly restore our stamina to normal or not ..." Shin hadn't had time to speak he had collapsed from exhaustion.

Shortly after Ren, Raito and Hiruka also fainted due to running out of stamina.

'' You suck, it's just that much of your ability. Then I go first, the captain must have been looking for me everywhere "said Taro leaving his opponent lying unconscious on the floor.

A few moments later, Gyo, who had finished practicing, came with Mr. Yagami in a pretty pathetic condition, which was his body full of bruises from the ball.

"It seems like there isn't anyone, where have they gone?" Said he was practicing "said Gyo.

"That's right !!, or they have finished training and finally they go home," said Mr. Yagami.

'' Look at that sir, apparently they were lying on the floor. They must be tired, just listen to their loud snoring, '' said Gyo while holding back laughter.

"Maybe there are other causes, let's ask what caused them," said Mr. Yagami.

"I'll beat you damn thing," said Shin, who was dreaming.

"Hey guys, wake up, what happened to you guys?" '' asked Mr. Yagami.

'' Hey Ren, wake up quickly, ieewew see your glue sticking everywhere is really disgusting '' said Gyo waking Ren.

Gyo then intends to slap Ren's cheek but Ren quickly gets up and picks up a basketball that just lies on the floor.

"Finally, you wake up, Ren, it's good, let's tell me what really happened," said Gyo, approaching Ren.

When Gyo almost touched Ren's body, Ren quickly dodged the ball and passed Gyo then put the ball into the ring.

"I won !!" Ren said then collapsed again and fell asleep.

"S-he slept while playing basketball, am I still dreaming?" said Hiruka who just woke up from his sleep and saw Ren's action earlier.

"Hey Ren, wake up, the disease of sleep while walking you recur," said Gyo while slapping Ren's face until he woke up.

"What are you doing Gyo?" Where was that damn Taro? "Ren said angrily when he woke up.

"Taro? Who is he?" Gyo asked

"He is an arrogant person who played against us but his ability is quite strange," said Ren.

"That's right, we suddenly lost our stamina when we approached him," continued Raito.

"He is also from Kyoto High School," Shin added.

"So that's why you fell asleep in this place?" asked Mr. Yagami.

"Yes sir, that's the way it happened" said Hiruka.

"Then where did that person go? '' asked Mr. Yagami.

'' may have gone home, sir, when we fell asleep earlier, '' answered Ren.

"Never mind, let's practice," said Mr. Yagami.

"By the way, Gyo, why is your face so bruised and bruised, what really happened?" Ren asked as he realized Gyo's condition.

'This is nothing, this is just a small wound during the special training earlier' said Gyo.

"But actually this is because I can't control my gold eyes well so when I practice hitting tennis balls I can't predict them well and this is how it goes" Gyo continued.

"It's so tragic, I'm sorry too," said Ren, laughing.

"Damn it, rather than you keep laughing at me it's better to practice" said Gyo.

They finally underwent training until it was finished, then the next day someone was seen running around carrying a piece of paper. . .

"My friends, I have important news for you," Gyo said breathlessly after running from the teacher's office to his class.

"What's the news?" Ren asked.

"T-this is our match schedule at Interhigh later," Gyo said, showing the paper he was holding.

"It looks like we are destined to fight them, but before that we have to defeat 1 team first," Shin said.

"Yes, and the first team we will fight against is Ryobu High School," Ren said, pointing to the writing on the paper Gyo brought.

"Then we have to tell the others so we can prepare ourselves," Shin said.

After telling the others they finally gathered to form a strategy against Kyoto High School.

"It looks like we have to maintain our stamina well because if we win there is still one more match waiting for us," said Mr. Yagami.

"So in other words we have two matches in one day," Hiruka said.

"But can we ward off the Kyoto High School's seal circle and win the match?" Ren asked pessimistically.

"As long as you don't enter the circle, you won't lose your stamina," said Mr. Yagami.

"That's right, then we can do it," Gyo said excitedly.

Day after day passed until it was time for the match in the interhigh tournament that Gyo and friends looked forward for.

"I've been waiting for this day," Ren said.

"Finally I can feel the atmosphere of the basketball tournament again," Raito said excitedly.

"Hey Gyo, are you alright?" Why does your face look scary like that? "Asked Ren.

"N-it's okay, I ... I h ... hah ... yes ... less ... just sleep," Gyo said nervously.

"It seems like it's the first time he has experienced an official match so he is getting nervous," said Raito.

"Let it be, he will get used to it too," Shin said lightly.

After a few moments the match finally began.

"Come on, your kids will win this match," said Mr. Yagami encouraging his trainees.

"Try to check that Gyo is alright, don't let him get in the way," Shin said to Ren.

"It's okay, just look at his face looking serious." He also took off his glasses so it means he is serious now '' said Ren.

"The first interhigh elimination match between Ryobu High School in red and Cyoku High in blue, the two teams saluted each other," shouted the referee.

"Arrange each other's position and priiit"

The match finally started and both teams were ready in position, Shin who was assigned to take the first ball was ready in position and when the referee bounced the ball Shin could easily reach the ball and pass it to Ren. Ren then immediately crashes the ball but is immediately blocked by an opponent, then after observing the situation he sees Gyo not being guarded.

"Gyo catch the ball and input it" Ren shouted while passing the ball to Gyo but the ball passed to Gyo was not captured so he left the field.

"Hey Gyo, what are you doing?" Ren said approaching Gyo.

"Wow, it turns out, he's still nervous so he can't respond properly," said Ren after knowing Gyo's true state.

Because of this lame state, finally the opposing team can score.

''What should I do? Gyo is still in a nervous state while Raito still needs time to fill in the strength "Ren said analyzing.

"We should change our pattern to be defensive until Gyo and Raito are ready," Hiruka said.

But despite being in a defensive pattern, their team conceded several points because of matches like 5 people against 3 people.

''What should we do? Are we going to lose in the first match? "Ren said frantically.
