In Japan there was a group known as the Uncrowned Kings of student basketball and not long after them there was a group who was soon to be called the Generation of Miracles.
The Generation of Miracles were called Akashi Seijuuro, Midorima Shintaro, Kise Ryouta, Daiki Aomine, Murasakibara Atsushi and their phantom sixth man Kuroko Tetsuya.
But in another small part of Japan that was hidden from many people and places there was a group who was called the Elemental Legends because they attended the most exclusive school in the world that was called Elements Academy. They had classes from preschool until college and those who graduated from said academy was guaranteed a top job anywhere in the world.
Schools from all over the world would send requests to play their basketball teams and many were accepted but no one ever won and not all requests were accepted either.
There were many requests from Teiko Middle school that had the Generation of Miracles but that school had always been rejected and one time their school board had gotten tired of all of the rejections and went down to said school to complain and demand a match from them.
About a week later the board members were found wandering in the outskirts of Japan and when asked what happened they would shiver in absolute terror and not say a word against the Academy again.
When the Generation of Miracles had finally graduated and went on to different high schools they found out that once they were gone that Elements chose to start playing Teiko, which made them furious beyond reason.
No one knew who the Elemental Legends were and also did not know that they would soon come out of hiding to take the world by storm and show the Generation of Miracles that they were not the best in the world and would never be so...
