Challenge Quest

The two youngsters stared at each other for a moment before letting out a sigh at the same time.

'That can't be'

"Ankle Break"

Even Rio was mesmerized by that display, she did not think Aria was capable of that manuever, its the first time she saw it.

But what they can see is also the shock of a young girl's face, why would she be shocked by her own movement?

CRACK!!! BOOM!!!

An explosion occurred inside Aria's brain. Shee felt like her mind has cleared by a lot; as if she had removed a veil that had clouded her mind previously. Like she just got an epiphany.

"Hey, how did you do that?"

"I..I thought about doing a feint.I don't know I just felt like I can do it, so I did"

"Sugoi!!sugoi, I can't believe you tried that, you're out of control in a lot of ways really!"

"Amazing, I wanna do it too" I said with excitement in my voice.

That was really fucking awesome, even if I was the one falling just looking up while your down on the ground made me admire her more for her skills. And I slowly stand up.

While I was thinking like that, they suddenly hear footsteps coming there was someone walking towards us, three youth who look like a deliquents. When they were near the the one who have a scar on his forehead suddenly said "Oi oi, You brats what are you doing to our turf, huh?" Scarfaced Yankee A

"Thats right, thats right, get outta here." Yankee B

"You should know your place or else, and get lost." Yankee C

While looking at us whith their scornful smile.

[Task Triggered:

Challenge a match and win

Aria walked slowly towards the front, with her defiant gaze and said "That's not fair, we were here first, you are the one who should get lost and wait your turn."

"Rio agrees too." said Rio

"Woah, you really want pain huh." Yankee B

"Wait a minute, Since were so nice We'll let you off if you give that ball to me." Scarfaced Yankee A

He pointed his finger to the ball. It was a red colored basketball with a black grips on it. Looking closer, there was a huge brand written on it, named 'Spalding'.

"You're the worst" Rio said.

"That's fine" Belial said.

""Eh"" (Rio and Aria)

"Hoooh, then tha-" Scarfaced Yankee A

"Only if you beat us." Belial said while having a smirk on his face.

"Lets settle this in the court with basketball."

"3 on 3, Are you afraid to accept the challenge?" Belial said

Provocation!

This was direct and blatant provocation.

'This fool is tired of living' the thoughts in their minds.

"You idiot! Do you know the person standing in front of you? He is Takamoto-sama, an F-ranked Player. He isn't someone a low-class trash like you could talk casually. Apologize him this instant!" Yankee B

"Huh! Apologize! Why should I apologize?" as someone who had lost his parents at a very young age and also has to take care for a childhood friend, he has developed a dauntless character. He would never bow to anyone, of course if didn't bring problems to him or his friends.

Due to this, he has faced many problems in the past life. But, he never regrets it. A man without his pride is not a true man. Since, Takamoto's rank was not simple, here he would have just apologized and move on.

But now he knew the potential he held (because of the system), a character like Takamoto, he would soon surpass him. Then, why would he bow down to this character?

The man who spoke as well as other men standing behind him, including Takamoto, everyone's face sank at his question. They have never expected that someone would question them like this.

"You…!" the man was speechless.

Takamoto's cronies. A vicious light flashed in the eyes of Takamoto when he looked towards Belial.

Takamoto was a very prideful man and would often overlook his own mistakes. From the moment he became a F class Player, this was the first time someone treated him like this. He made up his heart, to teach Belial a vicious lesson.

Belial was unaware of the enmity formed between him and Takamoto. He was busy trying to think up of strategies.

"Kuh— That's fine, then I guess I'll take that offer, You—"

"I'm not done yet, you should give something if you want to receive something, right? Its unfair, we earn nothing if we win but if we lose? How can this competition be fair then? Since we are wagering, the bets on both sides should be equal. In this gamble, we only stand to lose...Do you think that is fair?" Belial said.

"Ahh..." Takamoto is at a loss.

"You have stop spouting shit" Yankee B

"You brat, should be glad we didn't beat you up." Yankee C

Now that he puts it that way, it is an unfair challenge.

This bet is just like a fraud. While Takamoto isn't susceptible to any losses, when the other party loses, he would have to pass their ball on to him. But he dont want to lose anything so he look at this subordinate and his gaze was attracted to the shoes that Yankee B was wearing.

"How about this, if I were to lose, over here Yoshida will give his shoes and become yours !"

After considering for a moment, Takamoto declares with a gesture of his hand.

Just wait you brat after we get that ball from you, we will extort all your money from all of you and beat you up.

(A/N) This inspired in the anime after the match with Kaijo when kuroko confronts the thugs and he was almost beaten up. But was saved by Kise and Kagami and they play a 3 on 5 game.
