On a sunny morning, the spring breeze is warm, and the fragrance of greenery on both sides of the road escapes with the gentle wind.

At Akagi's house, the aroma of breakfast wafted from the kitchen to the door, and a few sun-drenched petals were scattered in the quiet room.

Yawning and rubbing sleepy eyes, Akagi walked out of the room, saw a petite figure at the door, and greeted sleepily, "Good morning." ”

In response, a clean female voice said, "Good morning, brother!" ”

The girl squatted at the door of the room, carrying Akagi Tsuyoken on her back, tying her shoelaces, and said, "Breakfast is ready, put it on the table." Alright, let's go, brother! ”

"Well, Haruko, stay safe on the road." After saying a few words, Akagi also sobered up a little, looked at his sister who was dressed in sportswear and was about to go out, and said with concern.

……

Bathed in the morning light all the way, breathing and footsteps at a uniform speed, Haruko Akagi jogged all the way, beads of sweat like diamonds sliding down her fair skin.

Passing by a basketball court on the side of the road, there was the sound of fierce dribbling and the collision of basketballs and rebounds. Haruko Akagi, who stopped when she heard the sound, adjusted her breathing, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked curiously into the basketball court.

A boy in a black vest came into view. I saw that the boy's black hair was already soaked with sweat, running back and forth with the ball, jumping and shooting from time to time.

"For the past few days, I can see him practicing here in the morning."

"Bang!"

The dull sound of smashing iron exploded in the air, and the basketball was bounced off the basket, shocked into the air, and fell off the court, bounced a few times before slowly rolling to Haruko Akagi's feet.

"Whew! Call! ”

Gasping heavily, Fuji Shinya wiped the sweat on his face with the clothes on his chest tiredly. Then he slowly walked to the outside of the field, muttering a large amount of [daily tasks] in his heart as he walked.

There are many lists of [daily tasks], and Fuji Shin also chose five of them, namely [3 kilometers of long-distance running], [100 high jumps], [200 squats], [10,000 dribbles], and [300 shots].

If you are in class on a regular basis, Fuji can usually complete two or three tasks, and if you have a weekend break, Fuji will naturally try to complete all five tasks.

These five tasks, respectively, focus on Fuji's physical strength, bounce, explosion, dribbling, shooting, etc., plus you can get 10 skill points for each completed one, which can be said to be the fastest way to accumulate skill points at the moment.

Fuji, who is fully focused on training and tasks, has a tired face, and doesn't notice the girl standing outside the court at all, until he walks a very close distance, and he sees Haruko Akagi holding a basketball in both hands.

"Uh...... Hello! ”

[It's so good-looking! 】

The girl in front of her has flowing, brown shawl hair, black pupils are gentle like water, bright and strong, cute and pure in appearance, petite and cute, so that Fuji looks out of his mind.

Haruko Akagi stretched out her hands, handed the ball to Fuji, and asked Fuji with a sweet smile, "That, are you a student nearby?" ”

Mu Nedi took the basketball, said thank you stiffly, and replied to Haruko Akagi: "I am a first-year student of Xiangbei High School. ”

[Wow! Glitter too! Huh! Does Slam Dunk still have such a good-looking young lady? I don't know if the first beauty, Haruko Akagi, is as beautiful as her. 】

Before meeting this girl directly, Fuji's head was full of basketballs. Especially the upcoming school basketball game, he attaches great importance to it, so he practices like crazy every day, such a level of concentration, even his mother Mai Koto feels incredible.

But now, the glittering young lady in front of her, using magic or something, occupies the space in your head.

"Really? Are you also a student at Xiangbei High School? The young lady Haruko Akagi was full of surprise on her face, and she just stood quietly with a ladylike vision, but now she looks much more lively.

"Uh-huh, are you also a student of Xiangbei? Haven't I seen you, are you a senior sister? ”

Faced with the hope in her eyes, the young lady shook her head and said, "I'm not, but my brother is also from Xiangbei High School, and he is in the second grade this year."

"I see, your brother is ......" Fuji suddenly felt that something was wrong, and waited until the picture of the young lady was squeezed out of his mind, and after his IQ was on the line, he reacted, and immediately stepped back half a position, and pointed at Haruko Akagi with a shocked face and asked:

"Could it be that you, you're the sister of Akagi Goken, a senior? Haruko Akagi? ”

"Wow! How do you know, are you from the Xiangbei Basketball Club? Haruko Akagi was a little surprised, but she quickly had a guess.

His brother, Akagi Gangken, of course, would not casually tell outsiders that he had a sister named Akagi Haruko. However, several of Akagi Goken's classmates knew about Akagi Haruko, such as Kiki Konobu.

Also, Ayako Inoue, who graduated from Fugaoka Middle School last year and entered Xiangbei this year, also knows Haruko Akagi. One of the reasons is because Haruko Akagi's No. 4 Middle School often plays basketball games with Fugaoka Middle School, and Haruko Akagi also often goes to Fugaoka Middle School with the team.

Fuji, who got the affirmative answer, was very happy, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am a member of the Xiangbei basketball team, my name is Fuji Xinye!" ”

"I'm a member of the same team as my brother, and I can see you practicing when I run here lately. However, the high school prefectural contest will not start until next month, right? ”

[What? Has Haruko been passing by these days? Damn, I didn't even notice. 】

Thinking about something else in his head, Fuji replied to Haruko Akagi's question in a serious manner, "Because I'm a beginner in basketball, I have to practice harder to become a good player like Akagi's predecessors." ”

【Beginner? Deceptive, the posture just now doesn't look like a beginner at all. Although it was not a matter of praising a wave of Akagi Gangken, which made Akagi Haruko a little happy, but thinking of the beginner he said, Akagi Haruko was more surprised in her heart.

The dribbling and shooting just now, although very ordinary, did not look like a beginner at all. Of course, through the "Beginner Dribbling Experience Book", "Beginner Shooting Experience Book", and the recent hard practice, Fuji Shin has made amazing progress.

Even, with the increase in the number of dribbling exercises and shooting exercises, the effect of the "Junior Dribbling Experience Book" and the "Junior Shooting Experience Book" has weakened a lot. This kind of fast-acting auxiliary item, once the inherent content is consumed, there is no such effect that one day of practice is worth seven days of others.

"And, in a few days, our team will have a practice match with Tsu Kutake, the team that was in the quarterfinals of last year's prefectural competition. I wanted to play in the game, so ......"

Haruko Akagi was a little moved by the perseverance in Fuji's eyes, although she didn't think that a beginner could play quickly, but her perseverance and love for basketball made her feel good, and she found a few words to encourage the handsome guy in front of her very carefully.
