Chapter 42

"Tch" a guy who was sitting in the bench clicked his tongue with annoyance.

"It's really cool! Just how do you do that Shun?" said by a petite young woman with a pale complexion and large, compound-like eyes that lack pupils, only a haze of gradient purple, making her eyes appear similar to those of insects. She has black wavy hair that fades to dark purple, styled at the back of her head into a flat yakai-maki bun, fastened with a white, turquoise and light purple butterfly ornament. She has center-split, ear-length, voluminous curtain bangs that flow down to frame the sides of her face, with two slightly thinner chin-length locks of hair in front of her ears below them.

She is the manager/coach of the Yasaka High, Shinobu Kocho.

"My luck is just good" Shun shrugged his shoulder as he keep his smiling face.

Its been a few hours since he have been practicing basketball, although he can just upgrade it, he felt that he is disgracing the guys who do hard work. But most of it because he wants to fight Ryõta with equal standing.

"Then can I rubbed my face to you? Maybe I'll be grace with just not luck but also that lady killer look of yours?" said Zenitsu as he jumped wanting to rubbed his face against Shun. Shun dodge making Zenitsu slammed on the floor.

"Ouch"

"You should be careful Zenitsu! It would be a trouble if you got hurt badly due to your action" Tanjiro said as he help Zenitsu.

"Its just! Why won't girls look at me? I joined the basketball club because they said the fastest way to became popular in school is becoming a basketball player!"

"There isn't a even single girl approach ever since I joined the basketball club! Why?" Zenitsu cried, he joined the basketball to have a girlfriend, but there still hasn't anyone who approached him which is why he is sad.

"I think its because of certain someone that all of girls don't approach us" Tanjiro said, he joined the basketball club because he is forced to joined by his uncle who was the captain of the Yasaka High Basketball Club.

Both tanjiro and Zenitsu look on a certain figure surrounded by girls. Shun was surrounded by many girls from various club.

Tennis Club, Badminton, Volleyball, and other clubs visit the basketball club due to Shun.

They offered him water, even their bento, they even want to wash the jersey of Shun which was instantly rejected by Shun.

Shun smile bitterly as he can't get this girls away from him, he rejected and told them to stay way which didn't even have an effect to them.

Zenitsu gritted his mouth with annoyance, his eyes was full of jealousy. Tanjiro just patted his back, he isn't jealous on Shun since he already has a girlfriend. He is scared of his girlfriend especially when she's jealous, he definitely won't do anything that will cause her anger.

"Let's have a fight Monjiro! Since I can't beat Shun I'll have to beat you first!" said by a young man, he has defined muscles in arms. he has an incredibly pretty and feminine face, with large, wide eyes that are framed by an array of long eyelashes, their irises a dark to soft pale green, thin eyebrows and what could be a small, well-mannered mouth. His thick, black hair reaches just past his shoulders, fading into blue at the tips and forming an unruly and uneven fringe that falls just above his eyes, puffing out before curving and thinning towards his forehead.

His height is reaching 195cm he is the tallest player in Yasaka High Basketball team, he is the Center.

"Where did you hear that from? My name isn't Monjiro! Its Tanjiro! Tanjiro Kamado!" said by Tanjiro.

"It doesn't matter! Let's fight! I'll definitely find your weakness Kamaboko Gonpachiro" said by Inosuke.

"Who the hell is that?!!!" Tanjiro exclaimed. It's been almost a year since they knew each other but he still hasn't even heard his name spoken by Inosuke.

"That's right! I heard that you have a sister Tanjiro! Why not introduce me to her! You know that I'm a good guy right? Why not introduce me!" said by Zenitsu as he shakes Tanjiro hard.

The trio has been friends for almost a year, Tanjiro already accustomed to their behavior but they're still a pain in the ass.

"Weirdos" said by a young man. He has unruly black hair of uneven lengths that sticks up in tufts around his head, which he wears tied back in a low messy ponytail at the base of his neck. His bangs fall over his eyes in an uneven fringe. His eyes are sharp and moderately large, their irises a deep sapphire that fades to a lighter blue and their pupils a bluish-black, and are framed by thin eyebrows. His name is Tomioka Giyuu.

He is the captain and Shooting Guard of the Yasaka High, he has the same height as Shun with 189cm.

"Aren't you also a weirdo Tomioka-san?" Said by Shinobu who was by his side.

"....." Giyu only stared at her with his emotionless and stoic face, and turned around ignoring her.

A tick mark appeared in Shinobu's forehead. She couldn't help but get angry because Giyuu ignored her.

She then shouted to Shun "Shun! Look here there is a news about your brother."

"What? What happened to him? Did he got hurt? Who hurt him?" Shun said worrily, he immediately come to Shinobu with fast speed making Shinobu surprised.

"Uh no, he just lost in basketball" Shinobu said making Shun calm down.

"Oh? that's all? Nothing more?"

"Yes? Nothing more" Shinobu answered.

'So he lost? I thought he will win against them? Power of friendship sure is powerful' Shun thought.

He never expected that Ryõta will lose especially he became stronger than the canon Ryõta. But it doesn't matter for Shun since Ryõta will be put under more pressure making his ability develop faster.
