"Gollum. Gollum"

"Aomine. Aomine! ”

Immersed in the deep sea, Aomine was woken up in reality before he could comprehend the secret.

He opened his eyes, propped up his lying head, and glanced at the pale teacher standing in front of him.

"It's nine o'clock in the morning, not nine o'clock in the evening!"

"What are you doing when you fell asleep so quickly?!"

"Get me to the door and stand!!"

Almost as before, I was scolded by the teacher.

"Hah"

"Isn't it just using class time to see the Zone?"

"It's not really sleeping."

Standing in the hallway, Aomine yawned and scratched his head.

It wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.

There's no way, he's really not very good at learning this kind of thing, and he never just pursues a passable one.

Ever since he developed Zone into a powerful power, he's been obsessed with it.

"However, it feels like the full power zone has reached its limit."

"If you can't dive any further, that's it."

Frowning, recalling what he had just felt in the depths, Aomine thought about how to become stronger.

He's been pushing the full power zone to its peak lately.

This is the degree to which 50% of the additional stamina is exerted

It's a quarter lower than when it was against Akutsu

In this case, he couldn't pull the price even lower, so much so that Aomine thought that this was already the limit of the full power zone.

Not satisfied, he was still immersed in the depths of the Zone realm, trying to dig out stronger power.

But recently, there is no clue and no gain.

"Zizi!"

The bell rang, and it was time to rest, and Aomine returned to the classroom and sat indifferently.

"Smack!"

"Xiao Qingfeng, you've been wandering up lately."

Huang Se sat on his desk, looking at Aomine who looked like he was wandering in the world, asked.

"It's noisy."

Looking up at Huang Se, Aomine put his hands in his pockets, leaned back on the chair, and said in a flat tone.

"Ahh

"Although I know that you have been lurking wildly in the realm of the Zone recently, you don't need to be so ruthless."

"It's not necessarily right to rush forward."

Shaking his shoulders, looking at Qingfeng, who seemed to be in a bad mood, Huang Se didn't touch his moldy head, got up from the table, and walked towards the door, he then laughed.

“.”

Listening to Huang Se's words, Qingfeng was stunned for a while.

…………

"Tetsuya, can you change your elusive approach?"

"Aomine-kun, I came here first."

On the rooftop, Aomine lay comfortably on the floor basking in the sun, then closed his eyes and spoke, and the latter protested seriously.

"I've not been training as much as I used to be."

"Is there something in trouble?"

Without dwelling on the previous question, Kuroko sat next to him and asked casually.

"No, I just can't figure out how to make Zone stronger."

"Obviously, I feel that the full power zone is not the limit, but I don't have a clue about the next step anyway."

"No matter how much you dive, there is no movement."

Sighing, facing the sunspot, Aomine didn't hide anything.

At first, he relied on Kuroko's prompts to open the potential zone.

"Even though I've pushed the full power zone to the limit, I don't think it's enough at the national competition."

"Akutsu bastard, it should get stronger."

"If you don't take two steps ahead of him, you can't rest assured."

The first time I felt that I was not strong enough and felt annoyed.

It is conceivable that the loss to Akutsu once still made him angry.

"Stronger?"

"But Aomine-kun, do you really understand Zone?"

"Huh?"

Taking a sip of the drink in his hand, Kuroko squinted at him and asked a topic.

This question surprised Aomine, and he didn't know why Kuroko asked like this.

"What is Zone?"

"In what form does the Zone exist? And by what kind of force? ”

"What did you get out of the Zone?"

A series of questions directly smashed Qingfeng, who was not good at thinking, and looked confused.

"Sometimes the road ahead isn't necessarily the right path."

After drinking the drink and standing up, Kuroko looked at Aomine, who was still in doubt, and reminded.

He knew that Aomine had been drilling into the depths of the Zone lately.

The idea is good, but his approach is not necessarily right.

“.”

Hearing Kuroko's words, he suddenly remembered Huang Se's previous words.

The two men were able to happen to say something similar

Is there really something wrong with his current approach?

Consciousness is once again immersed in the realm of the Zone, lurking downwards for a moment.

"Tsk"

I still haven't received any response for a long time.

………

"Smack!"

"Bang!!"

"What's wrong? They would come to me in a way other than playing. ”

After training with Akaji, Shiratsu had already noticed Aomine, who had been waiting next to him for a long time.

"Actually."

didn't hold the problem to death as a person, Aomine was still happy to talk about these things with Akaji and Shiratsu.

Saying all his current confusion, Aomine was also relieved.

"Heh, Huang Se doesn't say it for the time being, do sunspots actually say that?"

"Then I think you might have to think about it."

"As an expert on Zone, he knows a lot more than we do."

Holding the racket in his hand, Bai Jin thought for a moment, and then replied.

"Do you think so?"

Scratching his hair, Aomine had a headache, although he felt that what Kuroko said made sense in some places, but he always felt that it didn't seem right.

"Who do you think was the first to develop the power of Zone?"

Akaji knew that he was struggling with his own judgment or Kuroko's words, which was more worthy of attention.

"Isn't it necessary to develop the power of Zone?"

Thinking of this question, Aomine subconsciously wanted to say that it was him, but then stopped.

Thinking back to the picture he had seen in the depths of Kuroko, he realized one thing.

Aside from his ability to dig deep into the Zone, Kuroko seems to be the first to dive down.

At that time, with the power of connection, Kuroko was still the zone that was opened later, but he came from behind and dived down first.

"Have you ever wondered why you have turned on the full power zone, and the sunspot is still in the stage of the potential zone."

"It stands to reason that he should have been the first person to come into contact with the Deep Zone, right?"

"You don't really think that Kuroko will willingly stay in one place?"

The words of Bai Jin and Akaji can be regarded as completely understanding Aomine.

Kuroko must have known something for a long time, so he said those words.

The secret that goes further than the full power zone lies in those questions.

"Tsk, I didn't expect me to hesitate one day."

I feel blind to what I have, and then I ignore some of the details.

Fortunately, he didn't hold back alone, but found someone to talk about it, so that he almost realized the problem as soon as possible.

"Well, I don't understand it at all."

As the sun gradually went down, Aomine, who remained in the tennis club, sat on the stool for a long time, still unable to understand what Kuroko said.

What is Zone?

In what form does the Zone exist? And with what force?

What did you get out of Zone?

Just that first question directly stuck Qingfeng's brain cells.

"You really seem to be thinking about those complicated issues."

A voice sounded outside the door, and Aomine looked back, only to see Shiratsu and Akaji staring at him.

"You haven't left yet?"

"What do you say, the national competition will start in ten days, and Akaji and I are busy."

"After all, there are a lot of things I need to discuss with Bai Jin."

"This national competition cannot be ignored."

The two walked to the department, turned on the lights, and sat down with chairs.

"I remember Kuroko mentioned that you once opened the potential zone and the result was a solo ability resonance, right?"

Looking at Qingfeng with a look of "I can't figure it out", Bai Jin couldn't help but feel funny, and then asked.

"Yes"

Nodding, Aomine then realized that something seemed wrong.

"Then haven't you ever thought about who your single ability resonance is generated with?"

"Akaji is with another self."

"Who do you resonate with?"

Generally speaking, it takes two people to trigger ability resonance, but there are exceptions.

is like today's Akaji and Polk in the show.

They can all do it alone.

Omotesa is Kazukashi and Richiji, and Polk is Watezuka.

So whether it's a duo or a solo, there must be another matching object for ability resonance.

If Aomine really inspires the resonance of a solo ability because of the potential zone, then why did he choose not to use it?

"Hmm"

This is Qingfeng's blind spot all along, he awakened that kind of power at the beginning, but somehow, subconsciously seemed to ignore its existence, and then directly opened the full power zone, so that a mind pounced on the latter.

"Is there a possibility?"

"Your full power zone didn't actually come to your own understanding in the first place."

"You learned it when you first learned it when you were inspired by someone?"

After Bai Jin's words were finished, Qingfeng was directly stunned.

Back in the day, when he reached the stage of the potential zone, he stimulated the ability resonance, and then the full power zone appeared.

He had always felt that he had dug it out himself, but now that he thinks about it, it really doesn't seem right.

"The object of my empathy. Who is it? ”

Realizing this, Aomine fell into deep thought.

Since there is a match, it must be the person he knows.

But the player who can make him understand the full power zone also means that the player himself should have a deep understanding of the zone.

With the current level of development of Zone, he didn't even know who it was for a while.

"It's Kuroko."

Akaji thought for a moment, then whispered.

"Huh?"

Aomine's face was full of consternation, as if he was a little panicked.

"Stupid, among all our players who know Zone, can anyone but Kuroko sneak in earlier than him?"

Bai Jin didn't have any surprises, and the deep ability of the Zone itself was checked by the "sunspots".

The so-called "gatekeepers".

Although the world has changed and the content is different, the essence is that Zone will have a natural "laissez-faire" for sunspots.

This is something that Bai Jin only learned about after he realized the difficulty of developing the Zone.

Even he is difficult to grope for, and Kuroko can easily get in, which in itself shows that the latter is treated as Zone's own son.

Because of this, the original Aomine stimulated the potential zone and opened the ability resonance, and its object was the sunspot who observed him.

From Kuroko, Aomine got the full power zone directly through ability resonance.

As a result, Aomine thought that it was the power he had directly activated, so much so that he ignored the role of ability resonance.

"Smack!"

"No wonder. I'll just say why the full power zone keeps exercising, but it can't reduce the cost or even improve. ”

The long-standing doubts were solved, and Aomine patted his cheek and knew what the problem was.

The moves obtained by the ability resonance are already considered to be maximized, and if he can develop them again, then there will be ghosts.

Being able to reduce the cost from 100% to 50% is already his "outstanding talent".

"So think about it from another perspective, you can actually do more than that, right?"

"Not to mention the power of Zone, just talking about resonating with Tetsuya's ability is enough for you to toss for a long time."

Akaji then pointed at Aomine with his finger and spoke.

The ability resonance triggered in the Zone realm is a little different from the solo direction, which is more inclined to achieve the resonance with spirit.

It can be said that all the technologies held by both parties are directly penetrated

Maybe something stronger can be born.

"All of a sudden, it's a lot more open."

"Really, I didn't expect there to be so many things waiting for me to do."

Thinking of this, Qingfeng was also relieved, and he had an impulse to experiment.

He has a hunch that as long as the "ability resonance" between him and Kuroko is understood, then a deeper Zone will naturally be opened.

At this time, he was not as anxious as he was at the beginning, but his state of mind eased.

In response to that sentence, what I have always wanted to pursue is actually around me.

What is Zone?

Mentally stimulating physical abilities, this is the Zone.

In what form does Zone exist? And with what force?

It manifests itself in consciousness with spiritual power as the carrier, and can be driven by spiritual power.

What do you get out of Zone?

Thinking of this last question, that familiar smile appeared on Aomine's face, for him personally, of course.

"Sustaining and strengthening with others."

Hearing Aomine say this, Shiraksu and Akaji also knew that he had figured it out.

However, the two themselves are not players who rely on Zone to eat, so they will not deliberately dig anything in it, at most they will be a communication "software".

Open Zone = Internet access.

This is also their collective cognition, the kind of means that can cross boundaries and communicate seamlessly, is undoubtedly ahead of the times.

And through communication and contact with others, you can experience different powers.

It can be said that this is a "bigwig exchange circle".

Those who come in without opening the door can also be strong, but those who open the door and come in will definitely be strong.

It wasn't until Aomine opened the door and left that Bai Jin then turned his head to ask Akaji.

"So didn't you just solve it when you arranged him for Kuroko in the first place?"

"There weren't that many doubles matches for him and Tetsuya to play."

"And there are too few opponents who can adapt to them."

"There is not enough suppressive force to force an outbreak between them."

"Well, that's true, he needs to play in singles sometimes."

"From now on, though, he's probably going to take to the top."

"It's hard for me to imagine how quickly he can grow without his limitations."

"It's not too fast, it's only about ten days, there will be a different performance, but there is no drama this year for full growth."

"Alas, next year? That's really exciting."
