Chapter 1: A New Beginning

The summer sunshine illuminates the entire Kanagawa, and also illuminates a quiet place hidden in this bustling city.

Jack's family villa is proudly located in the top luxury villa area in Kanagawa.

This area exudes dignity and luxury everywhere, and is a clear symbol of wealth and status, making most people only yearn for it but unable to reach it.

"Jack, hurry up, it's time to set off!" A crisp urging voice came from outside Jack Carter's bedroom door.

In the bedroom.

Jack Carter was sleepy, with his eyelids half drooping, looking dazed and half asleep.

He was in a hurry and stuffed the clothes and pants that had not been folded neatly into the backpack. He also stuffed in a few magazines with fancy covers that were obviously bikini magazines. His movements were so casual.

Today is the day when the Shohoku Basketball Team sets off for the national competition.

In order to ensure that Jack Carter would not be late, Kara Smith rushed to his house early in the morning.

Jack Carter's parents are already accustomed to Kara Smith's outgoing personality. The two children have been playing together since they were young, and this is how they get along with each other.

Jack's father and mother liked Kara Smith from the bottom of their hearts. Seeing the two of them together, they were so happy that they were naturally happy to see it happen.

After a while, Jack Carter pushed open the bedroom door and walked out.

Kara Smith was sharp-eyed and hurried forward, grabbed Jack Carter's arm, and dragged him downstairs, muttering, "Really, look at you, you are so sloppy. I have prepared breakfast for you, go wash up, we have to meet up with everyone after breakfast."

Jack Carter scratched his head, his face full of impatience, and muttered: "I know, really, why do we have to go with them! We can also go by ourselves!"

"No! This is too unsociable." Kara Smith was firm in her attitude, leaving no room for negotiation.

At this time, Jack's father and mother were hiding in a distant corner, secretly watching this scene, with doting auntie smiles on their faces, as if they saw the children's bright future.

After Jack Carter had eaten and drunk his fill, he and Kara Smith finally went out.

The two walked all the way to the bus stop and boarded the bus to Shohoku High School.

Jack Carter, sitting in the car, silently opened his personal panel.

[Name: Jack Carter]

[Age: 16]

[Height: 192 cm]

[Weight: 85 kg]

[Character template: Aomine Daiki (100%)]

[Talented Abilities: Super-Speed Dribbling (Awakened), Formless Shot (Awakened)]

[Wildness: Black Panther (Awakened)]

[Zone (Awakened)]

Since the last time, Jack Carter was pleasantly surprised to find that the fusion degree of the system template had reached 100%.

The "Zone" state that he had longed for was finally fully awakened, like a sleeping beast being awakened, erupting with endless power.

This sudden change was like a storm, which thoroughly cleansed him from the inside out.

At first, Jack Carter was worried that he would be assimilated after the complete fusion and become the second Aomine Daiki, losing himself.

However, he did not notice any obvious changes in himself today.

If we have to find something different, it is his attitude towards basketball, an invincible attitude.

He also truly understood what invincible strength was, truly invincible strength.

It was at this moment that he deeply understood the profound meaning of Aomine Daiki's words "The only person who can defeat me is myself."

This statement is not just self-boasting, but is also filled with eager anticipation for the emergence of an equally powerful opponent.

From another perspective, the "myself" mentioned here actually refers to an opponent who can also enter the "Zone" state and possesses powerful strength.

For Jack Carter, this is undoubtedly a brand new beginning.

"The only person who can defeat me is 'myself'." Jack Carter was immersed in his thoughts and muttered to himself unconsciously.

"What?" Kara Smith, who was standing by, keenly caught his whisper and asked in confusion.

Jack Carter suddenly came back to his senses, was slightly startled, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face, but he still shook his head and said lightly: "Nothing."

He himself was a little confused. He had just been thinking about it in his mind, so how did he blurt it out?

Um?

Kara Smith stared at Jack Carter closely, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

Although she didn't say anything, she was secretly muttering in her heart: "No, there is definitely something wrong. Just now he seemed to say, 'The only person who can defeat me is myself.' When did Jack become so narcissistic?"

The bus sped along and soon arrived at the stop near Shohoku High School.

When the two arrived at the gate of Shohoku High School, everyone from the Shohoku Basketball Team had already gathered there.

Seeing the two of them coming, Ayako smiled, looked at her watch, and said jokingly: "Wow! Not bad! I wasn't late this time, I deserve praise!"

Whispering sound...

Jack Carter curled his lips, turned his head nonchalantly, and snorted.

Kara Smith supported her heaving chest and said proudly, "Today is a big day for us to participate in the national competition together. I woke Jack up early in the morning."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Ryota Miyagi rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "Are you guys living together?"

As he said this, he secretly glanced at Ayako and thought to himself, "Damn it! I really envy that b*****d."

Kara Smith's face instantly turned red, and she quickly waved her hands to deny it, "No way, I don't live with him! We are neighbors, very close, so I often wake him up like this."

"Often..." Ayako's lips curled up into a smirk, and she deliberately dragged out the tone.

At this, Kara Smith's face turned even redder, and she stamped her feet and said angrily, "Sister Ayako, you are such a fool."

"Oh! Don't be embarrassed!" Ayako still didn't give up and gently poked Kara Smith with her elbow.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, Kogure Kiminobu quickly stepped out to smooth things over, raising his voice and saying, "Alright, alright, let's talk about it once we get in the car! It's almost time, let's get in the car and go!"

Without much hesitation, everyone boarded the bus one after another.

They need to take a bus for about 2 hours to transfer at Shin-Yokohama Train Station.

Everyone needs to get on the train at Shin-Yokohama Station, and the destination is Hiroshima, the venue for this national competition.

On the train.

Inside the train, Kogure Kiminobu suddenly looked at Takenori Akagi with envy and asked, "Akagi, I heard from Haruko that you have been selected by Fukasawa Sports University! Is that true?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Takenori Akagi.

Takenori Akagi looked calm, nodded slightly and said, "It's just an invitation."

"That's just..." Kogure Kiminobu almost lost his balance. "That's Fukasawa Sports University, ranked first in the country, I'm so envious."

Hisashi Mitsui looked at Takenori Akagi with envy and said sourly: "Damn it, someone invited you, why didn't anyone invite me?"

Ryota Miyagi secretly glanced at Ayako not far away, and was secretly glad in his heart. "Fortunately, Ayako is in the same class as me, and she will graduate in one year."

Takenori Akagi coughed lightly and said seriously: "Well, these are things for the future. Our main goal now is still the national competition."

As he finished speaking, his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to a week ago.

Akagi family single-family building.

In the living room, Takenori Akagi was sitting on the sofa, with two figures sitting opposite him.

A middle-aged man and a young man.

The middle-aged man wore glasses, had a round face, was of medium build, had his hair combed neatly back, and was dressed in a formal suit. He looked calm and capable.

His name is Kazuo Karasawa, and he is the coach of the Fukasawa Sports University basketball team.

The young man also wore a pair of glasses, but unlike the middle-aged man next to him, his face was relatively handsome, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling.

His name is Shota Sugiyama, and he is the center of the Fukasawa Sports University basketball team.

Kazuo Karasawa: "Akagi-san, in this year's Kanagawa Prefecture preliminaries, there were many excellent centers. Kazuma Takasago from Kainan University High School, Toru Hanagata from Shoyo, and Uozumi from Ryonan. But among them... I rate you the highest."

Shota Sugiyama: "I also made it to the national tournament in my senior year of high school. This is very similar to your situation. We were also a one-man team at that time, but we still made it to the top eight."

Kazuo Karasawa: "In order for the people on our team to accept you, I want you to perform well in the national competition. We don't want to put pressure on you, but... Akagi-san, make it to the top eight!"

The images of memories slowly fade away.

Takenori Akagi's eyes flashed with determination.

He secretly vowed to himself that he would bet everything he had in the national competition.

"What's going on?"

At this moment, a sharp cry was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the silence in the car and attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Kogure Kiminobu, Yasuharu Yasuda, and Tetsushi Shiozaki with their eyes wide open, shock written all over their faces. They were staring at the basketball magazines in their hands, as if they had just seen something incredible.

"What's wrong?" Takenori Akagi frowned and couldn't help but ask.

Kogure Kiminobu didn't say anything, but silently spread out the basketball weekly and showed it to everyone.

Everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on the opened page.

At this moment, the schedule of this national competition was clearly printed on that page.

Everyone looked in the direction Kogure Kiminobu pointed.

After a long time.

Hiss...

Everyone gasped at the same time, with extremely complicated expressions on their faces, some shocked, some worried, some stunned, some surprised, some unbelievable... some...
