"Strength, Speed, Technique, Stamina, and even Mentality!"
"After specialization, all attained talents comparable to the Generation of Miracles!"
Current Yuuto was like Dio standing on a road roller; his whole state was one of excitement.
[Your one-on-one with Kise Ryota shocked the fans present and in front of TVs.]
[Akashi believed that at this moment, you two were the strongest players in the country.]
[The secondary personality Akashi said nothing, seeming to ponder how to defeat you in this state.]
[Yes, he didn't think Kise Ryota could win this match.]
[Even if Kise Ryota could copy the skill sets of everyone in the Generation of Miracles, your ability itself was Generation of Miracles level. With your talent specialization, you would always hold a certain degree of advantage.]
[Most importantly, you would keep improving in such a contest, constantly correcting your own weaknesses.]
[Sure enough, as time passed, your advantage began to become obvious.]
[Kise Ryota struggled to persist but ultimately failed to close the gap. The difference remained between 15 and 18 points.]
[Then.]
[The third quarter ended. Kise Ryota involuntarily exited the Zone state.]
[Perfect Copy and Zone brought a huge burden to his body.]
[What puzzled Yukio Kasamatsu was that although you looked like you consumed a lot too, you still hadn't exited Demon Mode.]
["Is it because of Perfect Copy and Zone? Little Kise looks much more tired than Yu..."]
["No, that guy Yuuto's Demon Mode limit is 10 minutes. Unless he evolved again, he's been lying before—the Demon Mode limit was never 10 minutes."]
[Things happening to you are always hard for people to understand.]
[Even Akashi only figured out a little. The secondary personality Akashi finally spoke, "His game rhythm is far above Ryota's."]
[The primary personality Akashi communicated with him, "It should be related to Yuuto's specialization ability. His control over his body exceeds our imagination."]
[The third quarter ended. In the last few minutes, you pulled the gap to 21 points.]
[This score had already exceeded Kaijo's lifeline. And Kise Ryota's state declined rapidly; he could no longer enter the Zone domain.]
[However, he insisted on playing in the fourth quarter. You saw the changes in his body data showing a sharp decline, proof of excessive physical fatigue.]
["Go down and rest. Your body has reached its limit." The Dual Personality Shooter talent activated; you coldly advised him to give up.]
[Kise Ryota refused. He said, "Compared to the Generation of Miracles' Kise Ryota, I prefer Kaijo's Kise Ryota."]
[At this moment, he shouldered the entire Kaijo team.]
[You spoke no more, leading the team to continue playing steadily.]
[Even you didn't expect that the person in the Generation of Miracles most like yourself turned out to be Kise Ryota.]
[This handsome model, usually as docile as a Golden Retriever, was incredibly stubborn at this moment. His thirst for victory was moving.]
[But will cannot always conquer everything.]
[When the match entered the last 3 minutes, he finally couldn't hold on and fell during a chase-down defense.]
[Genta Takeuchi's expression changed drastically. An injury without contact could likely result in irreversible damage.]
[Kaijo's players looked terrified. Yukio Kasamatsu looked incredibly self-blameful, hating himself for only having the match in his eyes and not noticing his teammate's limit.]
[Kise Ryota was subbed out. Genta Takeuchi didn't let him stay and had him sent directly to a nearby hospital.]
[The result of this match was self-evident.]
[Seiho won. After Midorima Shintaro and Aomine Daiki, you also cut down Kise Ryota.]
[At night, you returned to the hotel and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.]
[Your phone rang. It was Momoi. She told you Kise Ryota's injury status.]
[Not particularly serious, but he needs to rest for 4-6 weeks, depending on recovery. Ideally, he can participate in this year's Winter Cup.]
[You signaled that you understood.]
[You don't particularly like this bunch of geniuses from the Generation of Miracles, but you don't wish for them to be injured.]
...
[Soon after, Akashi Seijuro called too.]
[He hoped all six of you would withdraw from this Nationals.]
[He believed your talents were too strong, and your current high school freshman bodies weren't fully prepared. He also asked you to go for a checkup just in case of hidden injuries.]
[You refused.]
[You know your body like the back of your hand. If there were hidden dangers, they would be reflected in the changes of your five attributes.]
[Moreover, you have always played with a pragmatic basketball style, which is the most "long-lived" way to play.]
[Now that you've obtained the Bible of the Star talent, your control over your game rhythm has nearly reached perfection.]
...
[One day later, you led the team out again.]
[You defeated your opponent without suspense and reached the Final Four of the Nationals.]
[This is already the best result Seiho has achieved in the last two years.]
[But you weren't satisfied. Your goal was always only the final victory.]
[In the semi-finals, you won again. Yosen and Rakuzan were in the other half of the bracket. They met in the semi-finals, but neither Akashi Seijuro nor Murasakibara Atsushi played.]
[Ultimately, Rakuzan advanced to the final with superior overall strength.]
[A week later, you met Rakuzan in the final.]
[This match was exceptionally intense. Three Uncrowned Kings, plus the new Sixth Man, and the leader of the Generation of Miracles, Akashi Seijuro.]
[Rakuzan possessed the strongest paper strength in the country.]
[And Akashi Seijuro's presence allowed Rakuzan's paper strength to be fully utilized.]
[He switched freely between two personalities during the match.]
[You tangled until the last quarter without a clear winner.]
[Then, you both stepped into Zone/Demon Mode, and through passing, helped teammates break the 80% limit, developing potential to 90%.]
[You both activated the Team Zone.]
[This was an extremely terrifying scene. The watching fans, even the Generation of Miracles and Seirin crowd, were all dumbfounded.]
[This was absolutely the most incredible duel in the history of the high school Nationals.]
