Fatal Error

It was getting dark, the dim lights were decorating the deserted alleyway decorated with cans of drink and plastic trash scattered about. Two teenagers were seen walking while kicking a can of used drinks in front of them as if they were playing soccer. One teenager looks gloomy while holding tightly to the bag which contains basketball shoes that are already gaping at the ends.

"Don't think too much about it Gyo, I'm sure you train too hard so your shoes will break quickly." Ren tries to comfort Gyo who is sad because his favorite basketball shoes are broken.

"But Ren, I'm not sure my mom will buy a new one especially with what I did during the class promotion exam," argued Gyo.

While the two teenagers are arguing about a broken shoe, someone unknowingly follows them from behind while holding a bat used in baseball games. This person keeps watching Gyo and Ren who are walking down the quiet alley towards their house which is located not far from there. In a hurry, the person immediately ran towards Ren and Gyo then swung the baseball bat he was holding and hit hard on the shin on Gyo's leg. Seeing this, Ren immediately pursued the person but because he was worried about Gyo's condition, he immediately turned around and supported Gyo who was grimacing in pain.

"Aaargh ... This hurts so much," shouted Gyo.

"Hold on a little Gyo, we're almost home," persuaded Ren.

Gyo can only be silent while enduring the pain he feels. At home, Gyo's mother looks worried about her son's condition and immediately takes something that can be used to wrap Gyo's feet.

"What really happened? Why did Gyo become like this? Looks like he broke his leg" asked Gyo's mother.

Ren then told about what happened to them before and began to wonder what the person meant to do to Gyo.

Time flies and the days go by, now it's time for Cyoku High School basketball team to start the last 8 match against Hyaku High School who won the last 16 match before. The faces of the members of the Cyoku High School basketball team are worried because at this time Gyo has to sit on the bench while holding the body support that helps him to walk.

"I really want to play but in conditions like this it will only be a burden for the team," said Gyo, bowing languidly.

"It's okay Gyo, just trust us with this," replied Ren trying to comfort Gyo.

The match immediately started and the two teams lined up to shake hands before the match but Ren's eyes were fixed on one of the opposing team members who smiled slyly at him.

"Did that friend of yours on the bench like the gift I gave him?" whispered the person as he shook hands with Ren.

Ren looked emotional and tried to hit the person, but Shin quickly held Ren's hand and gestured not to do anything detrimental to the team. Forcibly, Ren had to hold back his emotions and try to act as if nothing had happened. On the bench, Gyo began to recognize a member of the opposing team as the attacker and clenched his fists trying to hold back his emotions.

"There he is ... I remember how the silhouette of the person who attacked me," said Gyo.

"What? So it's him? Looks like they're doing it all because his team will compete with us," said Ryu who was standing beside him.

"I think so too," replied Gyo as he watched the match that was about to start.

The Jump Ball marking the start of the match was finally carried out and as usual Shin was trusted to take this first move. As soon as the ball is at its highest point, Shin immediately jumps while releasing the 'levitation' ability to grab the ball and when the ball is in front of his eyes, Shin suddenly sees his opponent offset his jump trying to get the ball.

"Flying Eagle"

Shin, who saw it, was shocked and caught him off guard so that his opponent could easily grab the ball.

"Good job Ichimaru," praised his partner.

Without waiting any longer, the ball was immediately passed to the captain of his team who was getting ready to receive the ball.

"Take this Captain Nidome," he shouted.

Cautiously, the person named Nidome immediately caught the ball and began to organize attacks. He pointed out the position his team mate should occupy and finally began to move forward with the ball in his hands.

"I won't let it !!" exclaimed Raito while running at full speed after being filled by Shin and Ren.

"Do you think this speed can beat me? Try it if you can," said Nidome as he recited his technique.

"Rushing Cheetah"

The Nidome who was previously moving as usual now began to accelerate his movements. The difference in speed seen before now was drawn to a draw by Nidome after activating the technique.

"Th-this can't be ... My speed can easily be kept up with," muttered Raito.

Once satisfied playing with his opponent, the ball is now immediately passed to his partner who has been waiting in the predetermined position.

"Sandai don't linger, put the ball in immediately," shouted Nidome.

With a hand speed that could not be seen by his opponent, this person named Sandai immediately fired a shot at the ring which made the ball go fast into the ring.

"What's that shot? I can't even see how to shoot," Shin said in surprise.

Without waiting for a long time, Kaze quickly hurled the ball towards Ren who was standing far away in the middle of the field. The opposing team quickly realized this and immediately returned to defend.

"Yonba quickly stop him, don't let him score !!" exclaimed Nidome.

The man named Yonba quickly clung to Ren's body, who was dribbling a ball. Ren who saw the person who was shadowing his movement was immediately filled with explosive emotions and immediately elbowed Yonba's arm with the help of his wind, causing Yonba to bounce away.

Priiiitttt ...

"Offensive Foul"

The referee pointed to Ren who had violated Yonba during the attack. Annoyed, Ren immediately slammed the ball he was holding, making the ball bounce away.

"Because you dare to hurt my best friend next your leg will break," threatened Ren.

Ren then left a smiling Yonba while trying to stand up. Yonba's teammates also looked surprised by Ren's behavior, who was so rude when he saw Yonba.

"Actually, what happened between you?" asked Nidome.

"Ah, it's okay, I just provoked him a little earlier," Yonba replied.

The match continues but has not finished the first quarter match but Ren has committed three fouls. This made Mr. Yagami think of replacing Ren with Ryu but Gyo tried to prevent that from happening.

"At this rate he could be fouled out and kicked out of the match so we only played with 4 people," said Pak Yagami.

"Calm down sir ... I'm sure he must have a plan by doing that so I hope you are patient waiting for it to happen," replied Gyo with a smile.

What was Ren really planning and what would happen next with Gyo?
