In the corridor leading to the locker room, Hikaru Haneda was moving forward, turning the basketball with the tip of his right index finger, and his left hand was playing with it from time to time, revealing a little doubt on his face.

"Haneda, it's not appropriate for you to directly reject Mr. Taoka like that just now, the other party is also a high school coach, don't you have to go back and apologize?" Hasegawa Kazushi, who was walking next to Haneda, asked with some concern.

It turned out that just now, in the face of Shigeichi Taoka's invitation, Hikaru Haneda only thought for a few seconds, and then rejected Shigeichi Taoka outright. Fortunately, it was the leading teacher of Umezawa Junior High School who rushed to hear the news and resolved the embarrassment between the two sides in time.

"An-la, An-la, since you said you came on your own initiative, you shouldn't be so stingy. Rest assured. Haneda replied nonchalantly.

"And I've inquired, the teaching quality of Lingnan High School is very average, and the admission rate is not very good. You are still young, don't be fooled by others so that you can't find the north, a good high school is still very helpful for getting into college. Or do you want to be a basketball player in the future? It would be better to go to the best Hainan High School in the prefecture at the beginning, but I feel that if I play basketball in Japan, the employment prospects in the future will not be very good. Without waiting for Hasegawa to answer, Haneda explained to his friend on his own.

If Shigeichi Taoka knew that the reason for the rejection was because of Lingnan's admission rate, I don't know what the expression of this famous 'wise general' should be. In fact, as a private high school, Lingnan has thrown out a lot of public high schools like Xiangbei in terms of admission rate and teaching conditions. The reason why competitiveness is not good, in the final analysis, is a matter of heritage and professionalism.

For example, Hainan Affiliated High School, Hainan University has a part of the quota every year, which is specially given to students who have outstanding talents in other aspects of the affiliated high school, but have an average academic level. Professionalism means that some schools deliberately raise the admission threshold in order to increase the admission rate, and only recruit students with excellent academic performance and wealthy family conditions.

Lingnan is located in Kamakura, a city surrounded by the sea on three sides, and most of the students recruited are from well-off families in the neighborhood, and most of the fishermen have the traditional idea of inheriting their father's business, so they naturally want their children to finish high school early and come home to help. I don't know whether to envy such students with family industries, or to pity such children who are bound by family industries.

The topic suddenly rose to the height of employment and prospects, and Kazushi Hasegawa didn't know how to speak, for a junior high school student like him, college, work, or something seemed a little far away. However, for Hikaru Haneda, who is a human being in two lifetimes, it seems that he has never stopped thinking about it since he was born. Although the ideal is very gentle and beautiful, the slap in the face of reality is still very painful.

Has Ah Guang already thought so far? Whether it's sports or studies, even the perspective of thinking about things is different from ordinary people like me, is this a genius! Hasegawa Kazushi thought silently.

"Ah Guang"

"Huh?"

"Why do you play basketball?"

"I like it."

"Like? With your talent, you can do well in both baseball and football. ”

"Not necessarily."

"Huh? How could it be! ”

"Haha, you may not believe it, I really don't know anything about baseball, and I'm still ...... Hahaha~~~"

Hikaru Haneda suddenly burst out laughing as she spoke, as if she remembered something particularly interesting, and she didn't react when the basketball in her hand dropped.

"Speaking of which, it seems that in addition to studying, I can only play basketball. It seems that it is time to develop other hobbies in high school. ”

"Because of focusing on one? I've learned! ”

"Oh hey, what have you learned..."

Hikaru Haneda tilted his head and muttered to himself, rolling farther and farther away from the basketball.

"Ahh Nothing..."

At the intersection of the aisles, a pair of white and powerful hands picked up the basketball one step ahead of Haneda.

"Is this basketball yours?"

"Yes, thanks!"

"You're welcome! Here you go."

As he spoke, he threw the ball at Hikaru Haneda, who caught it steadily.

I watched this group of teenagers wearing sportswear, with the word "Takeshi" marked on the back of their jackets, and the smile of a victor on their faces, turning and leaving. Hikaru Haneda said to Kazushi Hasegawa, who had caught up, "You lost to this group of guys before, right?" It doesn't look good. ”

"Ahem..."

Kazushi Hasegawa was embarrassed to tell the truth - because the team had practiced for a long time and was used to playing slowly, it was not until he was finally forced to find the state of the game. After all, the truth slapped his teammates in the face too much.

"Mitsui-san, Takeshi Kuniku is very powerful"

"Oh?"

Looking at his friend who had only been holding back such a sentence for a long time, Hikaru Haneda also felt very unexpected. I've been playing with myself since elementary school.,What is the level of Hasegawa Kazushi,Haneda thinks he knows it very well.,Can make the friends in front of him also talk about it.,This guy surnamed Mitsui has a very high level.。

"Which one?"

"Huh? Wasn't you talking to Mitsui-san just now? I thought you knew. ”

"Oh, it's him, but it looks familiar."

Haneda thought about it, and for a while he wasn't sure if he knew each other.

"The next game is next week, right?"

"Our school's competition is over, huh?"

"I mean the junior high school game"

"Oh, yes, that's how it was scheduled, the semi-finals on Friday, the semi-finals on Saturday, the finals on the weekend. Ah Guang is coming to see the game?! ”

"Well, let's take a look next week to see if I can remember, I always feel like I've seen that person just now, and Uncle Taoka too, tsk, I can't remember..."

Haneda and Hasegawa didn't talk again, and the two soon arrived at the dressing room used by Umezawa, where the noise could be heard from the open door from far away.

"Why are you talking so loudly! Pack up your stuff and grind. Hurry up and pack your things and go! ”

The teenagers in the locker room were quiet all of a sudden, completely unaware that Hikaru Haneda did not belong to the basketball team, and had no right to interfere in their internal affairs. Finally, someone reacted and was about to speak, but in the face of Haneda's impatient aura, he could only hold back his words with interest.

Originally, it was almost packed, and with Haneda's urging, everyone quickly sorted out their belongings and consciously lined up in a row.

"Let's go!"

"Oh-"

Hikaru Haneda saw that the boys were all cleaned up, turned around and walked out of the locker room, and the others of Umezawa followed him one after another, as if it should have been like this.

"Ah, that..."

A second-year teenager suddenly spoke, but he didn't know what to say.

"How?"

Haneda stopped, and the others behind him followed, but did not speak.

"Aren't we waiting for Kato-sensei?"

Haneda thought for a moment and said, "Then you go and tell Kato-sensei, he is on the other side of the viewing seat, and you find him and say that it is starting to snow outside, and we will go home first." ”

"Yes, senior," the teenager who asked the question ran towards the court, but no one questioned Hikaru Haneda's arrangement.

Where have you seen it? The subconscious felt that it was important, so Hikaru Haneda, who was constantly thinking in his head, walked at the front of the line without saying a word, and behind him was a group of teenagers who did not dare to speak and silently followed behind. As soon as he walked, he was silent, but it was very imposing, and the pedestrians on the road couldn't help but make way for it.

Look back inside the basketball arena.

"It really made you laugh, Kato." I didn't expect to be rejected in person, and in the end, I still relied on my juniors to solve the siege, and I scratched my head and said.

"What did Kooka-senpai say, I just happened to come here after hearing that you came, and I haven't done anything yet. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've eaten with Taoka-senpai, and I don't know tonight's senior..."The Umezawa junior high school leader teacher named Kato hurriedly opened his mouth to change the topic.

"Uh-huh! Let's find an izakaya and have a good chat, you've cultivated a very good player over the years."

A few minutes later, a teenager arrived in a hurry.

"Huh? What about Kato-sensei? ”
