Nick's Plan

The glint of golden light emanating from Gyo's left eye made him feel a passionate feeling that it had been a long time since he had used the ability he was so proud of.

"This sensation ... Finally I can feel it again after a long time," muttered Gyo.

The rest of the Cyoku High School basketball team began to wonder whether Gyo's returning ability was safe or even dangerous for Gyo, but when they saw that Gyo was the same as usual, their worries gradually disappeared.

While staring at Gyo who was dribbling the ball, Shin helped the attack by activating his ability which made his opponent unable to move freely due to the pressure of gravity. Gyo immediately passes the ball in his hand to Ren who has jumped and is ready to score until finally a dunk is successfully driven into the opponent's ring.

"Come on, friends, we also can't lose and show all our abilities because our opponents are now in their best condition," said Taitei High School captain Aoi.

Taitei High School basketball team showed great cooperation, which was able to make it difficult for the opposing team to withstand the onslaught even though they still couldn't add numbers.

Gyo's entry into the match is enough to make the team's defense even stronger and not the same as before but without adding to the numbers they will lose this match because currently his opponent is leading the scoring.

Seeing the opposing team's teamwork which is better than his teamwork, Gyo began to realize that there had been tension between them that made teamwork chaotic and opponents could add number by number.

"I feel like something happened before between you but I hope all of you can focus on the match.

"We will not be able to beat our opponents if teamwork is like this," said Gyo firmly.

Hearing Gyo's words, they look at each other and start to realize each other's mistakes. They were silent for a moment then tried to correct themselves from the mistakes they had made until finally a ball bounced towards them and was enough to make them gasp in shock at not understanding what had really happened.

"I hope you guys won't just sit around the field because now we're here to compete," said Shiro, who turned out to be watching his opponent who was silent.

With a smile, Shin passed the bouncing ball back to Shiro and replied, "Sorry ... I guess we just got carried away."

Shiro received the ball that was passed to him as he smiled back at him and prepared to take the attack seriously.

"Blind Area"

With his ability, Shiro messed up the eyes of the opponent who was in front of him until he was hit by four of his opponents which made them confused about where the ball was. Seeing his successful ability to hit almost all members of the opposing team, Shiro immediately passes the ball to Naka who has already taken a square to make a three-point shot but suddenly the ball that has been passed disappears in the air and moves into Gyo's hand who is not affected by the ability. used by Shiro.

"What? How come?" Shiro wondered why that could happen until he finally remembered Gyo's eye-popping ability.

Quickly, the Taitei High School basketball team immediately set up the defense which made it difficult for Gyo to get past the line of defense until Gyo quickly passed behind him where Hiruka, who could see normally, was ready to shoot into the ring. The Cyoku High School basketball team finally managed to get three points so that they could reduce the distance by getting a score of 37-55.

The longer the collaboration between the members of the Cyoku High School basketball team becomes more solid, especially when Gyo is present, they feel that they have returned to their former glory. Number by number began to increase their score even though there were times when they missed a number but until the long whistle sounded the match, they could make the opposing team admit defeat and win with a thin final score with a score of 76-72.

"You guys are amazing ... I hope you can return to represent Masara prefecture in the national Interhigh qualification," Aoi said as he shook hands one by one the members of the Cyoku High School basketball team.

All members of the Cyoku High School basketball team loudly bowed and thanked him for the motivation and the match.

Meanwhile, from behind the crowd, Nick is watching Gyo, who has now regained his eye ability. While eating popcorn in his hand, Nick smiled with his left eye that emitted a red light as if challenging Gyo and Gyo who were in the field glancing at him as if to answer Nick's challenge.

"This is getting more and more interesting ... with the return of Gold Eyes' ability, my plan to absorb the eye's ability can be done," Nick muttered as he finished the popcorn in his hand, threw away the wrapper anywhere and then just walked away.

****************

In the changing room, members of the Cyoku High School basketball team start harassing Gyo with various questions related to Gyo's disappearance without the slightest word. Gyo, who heard this, began to be confused to answer the insistent question until finally Gyo told him from the beginning that he intended to restore his eye ability until finally he met Kaze who was waiting for him at the Masara city bus terminal.

Hearing Gyo's explanation, one by one they finally understand Gyo's condition, but it turns out that it is not able to release Gyo from punishment from Mr. Yagami who is now waiting for him.

"Since we've heard Gyo's explanation then I hope we can understand it but I can't tolerate a team member not taking part in training so after this I hope Gyo can finish 100 shots into the ring after finishing here," said Mr. Yagami with a scary smile.

Gyo can only nod at the punishment given to him and cannot refuse even though he feels happy because he can train again as before, especially when his eye ability has returned.

****************

Meanwhile, Nick, who has just come out of the building where the match is taking place, meets a teenager who makes his left eye resonate with the teen's left eye. With a smile, Nick passed the teenager as if nothing had happened, but suddenly the teenager said something that made him startled and fell silent in a back-to-back position.

"That intense aura of envy has taken over you completely, I guess in a moment you won't be able to control yourself later," said the teenager with his left eye that gave off a purple light.

"Tch ... Looks like you realize me but take it easy because soon I'll absorb your abilities," replied Nick.

After that brief meeting, the two people passed each other without showing the slightest expression but in Nick's heart there was a passionate irritation over what the teenager said.

What was Nick actually planning by absorbing all of the legendary eye's abilities?
