Minna-san! Genki desu ka?

Here's another chapter for you!

I'm very glad that many reviewed positively! It made me very happy! But I'm very, very sorry that it took me a whole month before I updated because I lacked the time, school has been busy these past few weeks and I've been going home looking like a Zombie. I still tried to type once in a while but I'm too tired to do it so….yeah that's it.

Okay, so back about the story! I will tell you about my plans for this story. The same story line and arc will be followed. But after the Inter-High, I will insert my own arc and delay the Winter Cup for a while. The relationships will build slowly so please do not expect adorable romances soon!

I'm sure you're all wondering why I like KiyoshixIzuki. Well, because in the manga and anime, it is shown that they are very close. Izuki will often worry for Kiyoshi, then Kiyoshi will worry about Izuki just like how he cared for Hyuga especially during their match against Kirisaki Daichi. Some of things I noticed also are that Kiyoshi and Izuki will often sit with each other. Kiyoshi and Izuki always cheered together in glee whenever they won a game. Then it hit me, "they make a good couple" so that's when I started liking those two very much!

If you noticed, I slightly toned down how Kagami acted towards Kuroko from the beginning since I think he was very rude.

Then, since the fight last chapter revealed all their powers, here are the list of them.

Kuroko Tetsuya = Phantom Magic

Kagami Taiga = Fire Magic

Hyuga Junpei = Darkness Magic, Sword Magic

Izuki Shun = Wind Magic

Mitobe Rinnosuke = Iron Magic

Koganei Shinji = Palm Magic

Tsuchida Satoshi = Sand Magic

Furihata Kouki = Healing Magic, Water Magic

Kawahara Koichi = Paper Magic

Fukuda Hiroshi = Snow Magic

Well, some of them haven't shown their other magic yet. I'm not gonna give names to avoid more spoiling!

Hmmmm…..what else?...Oh! Now that you also know what some of their magic are. The suggestions for magic spells are open! Feel free to PM me or Review it then I'll consider it okay? Like I said, everyone is free to join so don't be shy!

Not much to say now, are they?

ON WITH THE STORY!


~.~

Teiko Middle School Magic Club.

An incredible strong team with over one hundred members and three consecutive championship wins.

Amongst their brilliant record, the generation of seven prodigies was known as the "Generation Of Miracles"

Each having magic powers that are out of this world or you can call "Unique". And without any doubt, strong.

Teiko Middle School has one philosophy and that is "Winning is Everything"

This philosophy is always taught to the students they let to compete in different competitions and championships carrying the school's name and philosophy.

But it also has another philosophy, and that is "Losers are not needed"

That's why all of the students strive very hard to win and in the end, came out on top. However if you failed to do so, you're out.

No one objected and all of their students obeyed.

Ever since then, Teiko Middle School was known for producing, molding and training individuals that is craving for what they call…

"VICTORY"

However, one of the prodigies began to question this philosophy and decided to quit the Magic Club, disappearing from his friends and from the school….Just like his given title,

The Phantom Sixth Man

Chapter 2

I'M SERIOUS

~.~


Hyuga blinked "Matches? You can't play yet" he simply said

It was currently their break and Kagami decided to visit his Captain and ask him if he can play in official matches.

Kagami gawked "Eh? W-Why?!" he asked "Why Captain?! Am I not good enough?!" he asked again sounding very shocked as it was also evident on his face

"Oh, you're still a trial member so you're not an official member yet" he said

"Hah?"

Hyuga started walking and scratched his head "You see, the other four members who joined, quitted eversince watching our match earlier. They came to me and Coach earlier, man they look like shit…" he said scowling

"What?!...Then why did they signed up to begin with?" he said understanding his Captain's feelings

Hyuga glanced at Kagami "Before I can forgot, go see Coach if you want to play in Official Matches. Ask her to give you an official Club Membership Form"


~.~

Riko smiled in glee as she looked at her PSP "Yaaaah~ I knew you had a potential. Nothing beats cultivating talent" she said before she put down her PSP and sipped from her juice.

All of a sudden, Kagami came barging in and slammed his hands on Riko's desk "Coach!" he yelled loudly shocking Riko, causing her to spit her milk directly to his face. Kagami didn't mind and wiped his face dry and leaned again "Coach, please give me an official club membership form!" he pleaded but almost demanding

Their Coach frowned as she wipe her mouth "What is it with today? You too?"

"Too?"

Riko nodded "Yeah, you see Kuroko-kun also showed up earlier. He even surprised me the way you do and I spit out my juice again! Mou….what a waste" she said pouting a bit

Kagami looked away "That idiot…."

"Just how impatient can you get you rascals?"

"What the heck is that?"

Then Riko opened her desk "Well, you both have the potential and we've got so much room in the team, so we'd be happy to have you" she said giving Kagami the form

The red-head took the form and looked at it and smiled in content "Yosh! Now I can play in matches right?" he said walking away

Riko held out a hand to Kagami "Hold it right there"

"What?"

"I'll only accept the form on Monday at 8:40 on the rooftop" she said wearing a smirk

Kagami just blinked


~.~

Kagami was walking in the hallway and passed by a bulletin board with a poster that caught his attention. It was Hyuga doing astrong spell towards an opponent. He stopped looking at it closer. It says "Magic Club Rookie Game "Kanto Tournament Debut!". It also shows a pictured with all the members of it in their battle clothes

He stared at it in awe and amazement "So, he wasn't kidding….."

"Yes, they're strong" a voice said

Kagami jerked in surprised as Kuroko appeared out of nowhere standing beside him

"Why can't you show up normally?! Stop coming out of nowhere!" Kagami roared startling the people inside the library at the sudden outburst

Kuroko put a finger on his lips "Shhh" then he pointed at the signage above saying "Library". But then his head was suddenly grabbed by Kagami's big hand "Are you making fun of me? You're making fun of me aren't you?!" he said looking at Kuroko, pissed off

"No"

Kagami let the boy go who rubs his head "That hurt….." he mumbled pouting a little bit

"I don't believe it. How could anyone call an invisible and a dull guy like him a member of that Generation of Miracles? How did that even happen?" he said recalling the events yesterday "The other members of that Generation of Miracles have gone off to strong schools…..But, why didn't he went with one of them or on his own?" he thought as he sighed

"Hey Kuroko—" When he opened his eyes, Kuroko was already gone

"Eh?..." It took a while to sink in to Kagami and then….

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Shhhhh!" All of the members of the Library Committee hushed him

"Tch!" he said stuffing his hands inside his pockets and walked away


~.~

"You're doing it again this year?" Aida Kagetora, Riko's father asked as he stands beside the door of the dark room

It was already nighttime, but Riko is still working on her desk with only her lamp as her source of light. She is also wearing eyeglasses

"Well, in order to reach their full potential with all eyes on them, they've got to show at least that much courage" she said taking a break from writing

"Are you sure it wasn't a ploy to get you?"

Riko let out a smile "I want them to get me again this year"

"You're so reckless" Kagetora sighed before he opened the door and went out but stop in closing the door midway "I'm glad that you're passionate but it's not good for your skin. You should get some rest" he said

Riko smiled "Just a little bit longer. I still need to finish the second years' individual programs" she said making her father smile

"Don't push yourself too hard" he said

Riko just chuckled

"I love you"

"I love you too, Papa"

"Good night" Kagetora said before he closed the door


~.~

It was early in the morning and it's time for the morning assembly on Monday. The first year Magic Club Members and Riko were standing on the rooftop with Riko standing ahead of them wearing a wide smirk and crossed arms. She laughed evilly "I've been waiting for you" she said

The others sweatdropped

"Are you an idiot?" he mumbled

"Is this a duel?" Kuroko asked

"Of course not!" Kagami roared before he face palmed and groaned "I forgot all about it, but Mondays…..THE MORNING ASSEMBLY IS IN FIVE MINUTES!" he shouted with his voice echoing throughout the whole school

Riko still continued smirking

Kagami raised a brow before he dug on his pocket and pulled out his Form "Hurry up and take it" he said

"Before that I have something to tell you"

"Huh?" they all grunted in question

"I made a promise when the Captain asked me to be their Coach last year. I promised to focus solely on pushing the team towards the National Championship. So I really did and made a hellish training programs for them and made them experience hell, but good thing that they did not waver" she said

"EHH?!" they all exclaimed in fear

If you don't think you're ready for that, then there are other clubs better suited for you. Like the cowards yesterday who quit the Magic Club this morning" she said extending her left arm gesturing them to leave if they're scared

Kagami blinked "Hah? Of course I'm—"

"Oh, I know you're strong" Riko cuts in making Kagami frown

"But I need to know you have something even more important. No matter how hard you practice, "someday" and "maybe" aren't good enough" she said "I need to know that you have ambitious goals and the will and resolve to accomplish them"

The first years stared at her in awe understanding her point

Riko extended her right arm behind her and pointed towards the students crowded down on the ground for the assembly "Give me your year, class and name. Also, announce your goals here and now" she flipped her hair "If you failed to achieve them, you'll come back up here…..stripped naked, snd confess your love for the girl you like" she smiled mischievously

"EHHHHHHHHHHH?!" The trio exclaimed while Kagami and Kuroko remained calm

"All the second years did it last year" she said

Furihata stepped back "What?...No one told me about this"

"No, I heard about it when they recruited me" Fukuda said

Kawahara glanced at them "But, I didn't think they would actually…" he looked back towards their Coach

"Like I said before, I'm looking for something concrete and reasonably ambitions. "You'll have to do better than "your first game" or "do my best"" she said

Kagami smirked "Hah, this'll be easy" he said with full of confidence before he started walking towards the metal bars "This isn't even a test" he boasted before he walked passed Riko and jumped towards the etal bars landing on it not even showing that he struggled finding his balance.

He just stood there still smirking before he inhaled deeply and opened his mouth "Class 1-B, number 5, Kagami Taiga!" he yelled very loudly making all of the students below looked up at him "I will defeat the Generation of Miracles and become the best player in Japan!" he finished

The students looked at him in wonder, some are wondering on what's going on and some are amazed by his courage.

"Haaaah?" Hyuga blinked in shock "Is she doing that again this year?" he thought

The other senior Magic Club Members; Koganei with Izuki who were also shock and a smiling Mitobe looked up at Kagami.

Kagami stepped down and walked away as a smiling Riko watch him. Riko glanced towards the other four "Who's next?" she asked

The trio freshmen all flinched

"If you don't hurry up, the teachers will soon get here" she said pressuring them

"Umm…Could I say that I want a girlfriend?" Furihata asked while raising his hand

"No" Riko rejected immediately

Furihata paled as he brought down his hands while the other two looked at him in pity

"What else do you have?" she asked

Kawahara hesitated but spoke nonetheless "I-I've got one!" he said as he started to walk towards the metal bars

"Good luck!"

"You can do it!"

Furihata and Fukuda cheered as they watch Kawahara

Kawahara brought his hands up and hold the metal bar, and inhaled deeply before he speak "Class 1-A, Kawahara Koichi, from Chuo-ku, Tokyo" I was a sickly kid, so I couldn't play any sports. Things started to change for me in Kindergarten….."

~After 1 minute~

"I'll never forget the all star game I saw at school when I was in fifth grade. It was the first time I ever thought that basketball was cool—"

Everyone stared at him completely annoyed, he completely told all about his experiences since Kindergarten to middle school, and got all sentimental, talking about how he wasn't good enough or how he will always drag his team down. He was about to continue but Riko cut him off immediately by kicking him sending him face first to the ground

"NEXT!" Riko commanded looking pissed

"Um, I want a girlfriend" Furihata said once again

"I told you NO! Why are you even asking for that?! We're talking about Basketball!" she yelled angrily


~.~

"Class 1-D, Fukuda Hiroshi. I like helping others, so when I heard a Senpai asking for help, O immediately offered my assistance!" he said

Izuki raised a brow "Who knew he would take my joke seriously?" he asked

Koganei just smiled "He must not have understood that it was a joke in the first place" he said


~,~

Furihata inhaled some air and opened his mouth "Class 1-D, Furihata Kouki! The girl I like said that she would go out with me if I became best at something. That's why I joined the Magic Club to become number one!" he finished

Hyuga just watched him, smiling nostalgically "Doing these really helped us focus last year. Coach is really something. I guess….this could be a good tradition every year"

Furihata finished with a smile on his face before he glanced towards Riko "If this is not good enough, I don't mind if I can't join the team" he said

Riko smiled in approval and crossed her arms "I'm actually moved by that" she said "So who's next?" she asked

"Excuse me"

"Guaah!" Riko shrieked glancing towards Kuroko who appeared beside her out of nowhere

"I'm not good at talking very loudly, so could I use this?" he asked showing a microphone on his hand

Riko and the others twitched "Where the hell did you even get that?" she asked

"Oh, I always have this in my Magic Inventory if I will encounter situations like this. I guess it came out in handy" he said

"Haah?..." Riko blinked before she sighed and nodded "Go on then"

Kuroko nodded and walked towards the metal bars. He raised his microphone in front of his lips and inhaled and was about to speak when the door suddenly slammed open revealing one of their teachers "HEY!" he yelled angrily

"The Magic Club again?! Tch! You guys never learn do you?!" he yelled angrily

All of them flinched in surprise, even Riko who snapped her fingers "Damn it! We're almost finished!

The whole event ended with all of them getting a long and boring lecture from their teacher while the Morning Assembly was held on the school grounds. The teacher was blabbering about how they promised not to do it again last year and how they should know what's good and wrong at their age. They were finally set free after the teacher finished.


~.~

School's already over and practice is also over. Kagami is inside Maji Burger again and just finished ordering his mountain of hamburgers which shocked the man next to him.

He walked towards his spot yesterday and settled silently on it once again, putting his tray on the table and placing his bag next to him "Tch, I can't believe he got mad over a little shouting" he grumbled loudly.

He took a burger from his tray and opened it before he looked far away from the window and bit his burger.

"I didn't even finished and I got in trouble too" a familiar voice said

Kagami glanced in front of him and saw Kuroko sipping on his Vanilla Shake. He quickly reacted exaggeratedly and managed to not choke his self once again by gulping his food immediately "You again?! Maybe I should start going somewhere else" he mumbled but loud enough for Kuroko to hear

The bluenette just ignored him "We're not even allowed to go on the rooftop anymore…What will we do if we can't join the Magic Club?" he asked to Kagami and to his self

Kagami smirked "That's not gonna happen"

"We'll see about that…."

Then Kagami remembered something "Oh, By the way" he leaned towards the table and stared at Kuroko "Why didn't you go to some prestigious school like the other five guys?" he asked "You were good enough to be called as a member of that "Generation of Miracles"." He paused

Kuroko just sipped on his Vanilla Shake once again

"Is there some other reason why you chose to be Mage Dueler than try any other things?" he asked

Kuroko finished drinking his shake and looked at Kagami in the eye "My Middle School's Magic Club had one core principle, and that is "Winning is Everything". Instead of teamwork, we needed to push our own abilities and talents to win so I guess we don't "strategy"

He looked down "Nothing could beat us and we always win, but…we weren't a team or even one. The other five approve to this principle but me and another one of the Miracles felt that we lacked something very important…"

"So, what? Are you planning to beat the Generation of Miracles in your own way?" Kagami asked slightly interested in Kuroko's story

"That is my one and only plan" he said with determination

"Seriously?" Kagami said in slight disbelief but also in amazement of Kuroko's bravery

"You words and Coach's words really struck me, now my biggest reason to fight is trying to make you and our team the best in Japan"

Kagami stood up "We're not gonna try" he said before he towered over Kuroko as they stared at each other, eye to eye. "We're gonna BE the best" he said

Kuroko was taken aback but smiled and nodded "Hai…"

He also stood up "I would like to tell you my deeper reason's for fighting but…..I guess that could wait" he said before he walked away taking his Vanilla Shaked with him.

Kagami blinked and raised a brow "Kuroko? Where are you going?" The red head asked

"Home" he said before he walked out of the place

"Ehh?! W-Wait up!" he said before he hurriedly stuffed his remaining burgers inside his bag and followed Kuroko outside "I'll walk you home"

"Huh? You don't have to-"

Kagami twitched "Shut up, just let me" he said

Kuroko just smiled "Then, just walk me towards the street before my house"

Kagami patted Kuroko's head while smiling "That would be enough"


~.~

Kagami yawned as he entered his classroom and saw the crowd, he blinked as he stared towards his classmates who were all standing up in front of the windows except Kuroko who was still sitting on his chair reading his book

"Huh? What's going on?" he mumbled to his self as he walked towards the window, peeking easily through the crowd because of his height, he gasped for a second before he smirked in amusement

Down on the school grounds is a message written. It said "WE WILL BE THE BEST IN JAPAN"

On the other hand, Riko was smiling as she sat on her chair while all the other students crowd on the window "This could be interesting enough to work" she mumbled to herself

Kagami glanced towards Kuroko who raised his other hand to let Kagami have a glimpse of the chalk dirt on his sleeve, which made him smile "Idiot…" he said before he walked towards his assigned seat in front of Kuroko


~.~

Some of the Magic Club members are inside the locker room, changing into their training clothes from their school uniform.

Koganei who finished first blinked in surprised as he saw a magazine on the bench. "Huh? Is this?..." He looked down at it which said "Monthly Basketball Magazine" and two basketball players shown in its cover, one was a blonde and the other one was a brunet.

He picked it up and flipped it's pages open "Didn't this issue came out when Kuroko was still in Teiko?" he said as Hyuga who finished next also looked at it, they began flipping the pages

"All the players are featured…..Kuroko is….." he continued flipping the pages and gradually sped up but soon beamed "There!" he said in relief "Phew, If Kuroko wasn't featured I might say that, that's cruel" Hyuga said as he glanced at Kuroko who was just beginning to change

"Oh, that was when I was in my second year in middle school. The first and third time they interviewed us, I was forgotten. The reason I had an article there was because our Captain demanded them to interview me since they almost forgot" he finished

The three of them looked at Kuroko in pity "That's so sad" they all thought with Koganei, even crying

"Besides, I'm nothing compared to the other five. I'm the third weakest member of the Generation of Miracles" he said

"Ehh?! You mean what you showed yesterday was still not strong?! Just how crazy are those Miracles?!" Koganei exclaimed in pure disbelief

"Yeah….I thought you are very strong but they're even stronger?...that's insane" Izuki mumbled combing his hair

"A-Anyway, let's read Kuroko's "first" article" Hyuga said before he adjusted his glasses and read the article.

The page was filled all informations about Kuroko, comments like "THE MYSTERIOUS PHANTOM OF THE MIRACLES" and his picture which was when he was seen misdirecting an attack.

"Kuroko Tetsuya. If you think that he's just a very dull guy and a person with a weak presence, then that is you're gravest mistake. Don't underestimate this boy, once you fight him, it's like you're fighting with a ghost! He's the one who the other Miracles consider as superior to them because of his very powerful magic. Until now, no one knows how his magic works, and even strategy won't work against this young boy!" Izuki finished reading the main article

"I thought you're nothing like the other five?" Koganei asked

"I don't know, that article is really exaggerating" Kuroko answered as he finished changing

"Really? But to me, you're magic is really somethin'!" Hyuga said as he continued reading the article "Known Magic: Misdirection Magic and Phantom Magic. Known Magic Spells: Phantom Shield : Great Dome, Phantom Shield : Man to Man, Phantom Kreise and, how do you read this? Fanta-what?" Hyuga raised a brow

"That's Fantasma Lumen Hyuga" Izuki corrected

"Whatever. So, mind explaining these magic spells Kuroko?" Hyuga asked

"Eh?"

"Yeah….They sound very amazing! " Koganei smiled

Kuroko blinked "Well…"

The door suddenly opened and Fukuda came in "She's back! The Coach is back!" he ran as the others faced him "We're gonna play a practice match!" he exclaimed happily

Everyone grunted their surprise and glee

"I wonder who we're fighting?" he asked

Fukuda laughed shortly and scratched his head "Well that's….she was skipping for some reason"

Hyuga flinched "T-That's! She was skipping?!" he exclaimed as they imagined Riko skipping on the school hallways while humming

Then Hyuga turned seriously all of sudden "Be ready everyone, if she's skipping our next opponent's gonna be real tough…." He said before he groaned "I really feel bad about this" he mumbled


~.~

Outside the Seirin High School.

A tall, handsome blonde stepped in front of the gates

"So this is Seirin? New and pristine, just like I expected. I wonder if this is the right school…..U-Ugh" he combed his hair and groaned "I really wanna see him!" he said as he began walking

The girls began staring towards him, some of them were blushing, some of them were squealing and some were even frozen as he passed through them one by one.

"Isn't he hot?"

"And tall!...wait—isn't he?..."

"THAT MODEL?!" The girls all exclaimed as they began following him

The blonde still continued walking, looking around and admire every part of the school. "I wonder where is he?..." he mumbled before he stopped and looked behind and was shocked to see swarming behind him running towards him with hearts on their eyes "W-Whoa!" he exclaimed in panic

He then looked around and saw a bulletin board which has the school map posted on it. He quickly run towards it and inspected it. His finer stopped over the word that says "Magic Club Gymnasium" he smirked "Gotcha…."

The girls squealed and almost reached and pounced over him but, a yellow magic circle appeared beneath the blonde and he turned into a thunder that moved out quickly towards the sky and speed off.

"Ehhh?! Where did he go?!" the girls whined as they looked around and dispersed.


~.~

Meanwhile, back to the Gymnasium. Everyone has already started their Practice Match, MFI is already activated, but unlike yesterday, both sides are tied in scores; 45-45.

Furihata looked around and observe the damages his teammates took and they were quite bad. He had to admit, their upperclassmen didn't go easy on them this time, and they were using some strong attacks against them. Fukuda and Kawahara are badly hurt, Kagami is moderately damaged while Kuroko is left unscathed because he had remained invisible the whole time but misdirects some incoming attacks.

"S-Should I use that?..." Furihata mumbled as he looked around "But if I use that, all of my Magical Power will be drained instantly…No, it's too early….." He bit his lip in struggle that he didn't notice an incoming Koganei

"Oi Kid! Don't let your guard down!" he said thrusting his palm forwards creating another wave of energy towards Furihata

Kuroko who was nearby noticed it "Furihata-kun!" he exclaimed before he kicked Tsuchida away and turned invisible

"Watch out!" Fukuda yelled

Furihata snapped back and yelped in surprise "W-Waaaaah!" he raised his arms to cover his self. But the incoming attack changed direction and Kuroko directed it towards an incoming Hyuga who easily deflected it with his dark magic

Kuroko appeared in front of Furihata "Kuroko!" Furihata exclaimed in shock before he sighed in relief "Phew! Thank you very much!"

"You're welcome" Kuroko nodded and disappeared once again

Furihata chuckled "He really likes his magic huh?..." then he ran off.

But then, Fukuda who had just dodged an attack from Izuki, landed in front of Furihata and used his legs as his breaks.

"Fukuda!" Furihata yelped in surprise "Are you okay?!" he asked

"Yeah, but Izuki-senpai sure is strong" he said as he looked towards Izuki who smiled in return

"Thanks for the compliment" he said before he hovered his hands beside him "Be careful for this" he said smirking before his arms become surrounded by tornadoes.

"Eeeh?!"

Izuki raised a brow "What? You should know that we won't hold back. You'll experience much greater attacks than this, in the future" he said before he thrust forwards and sent his wind tornadoes blasting towards the two, which merged into a one powerful tornado.

"W-Waaaah!" Furihata yelped in fright

"Don't panic! Merge your water in my snow" He said before he thrusts his hands forward, a turquoise magic circle appearing from his palms and blasted a blast of blizzard which clashed against Izuki's spell

"E-Eh?!"

"Just do it!" Fukuda screamed as he tried to keep up but his spell was being pushed back slowly

"O-Okay!" Furihata hesitated before water appeared and covered his right hand "H-Here I go!" he thrust his right hand forward and a blue magic seal appeared blasting several bullets of water towards Fukuda's blizzard which quickly turned into ice bullets that was launched by the force of Fukuda's blizzard and successfully clashed against Izuki's spell

"Hoh?" Izuki blinked in amazement "The first years really do have a teamwork" he said before he noticed how they can keep up with his spell and prevented his tornado to push back their attacks further "I guess it's common sense how water and ice will work towards each other" he smiled before he dismissed his spell

"H-Huh?" Fukuda grunted as he and Furihata panted hardly

"That combination attack might've took a huge toll from their Magical Power….I guess I went a little overboard there, but their doing good even though this is their first time….." he said in his thoughts before he smiled "Good work" he said putting a thumbs up

Furihata and Fukuda smiled in relief as they slumped on the floor still panting "T-Thank you very much!' they both said between breaths

Izuki just nodded and walked away "Just try not to get caught by the others or they'll attack you" he said

"H-HAI!"

"Haaaaaat!" Kagami grunted very loudly as he set his fist' on fire and lunged towards Hyuga "Take this!" he said aiming an uppercut towards their bespectacled Captain

Hyuga easily jumped back "Hmph, you like punching? I'll just give you that" He said before he slammed his hands on the ground and a shadow came tainting the ground in front of him "Bad Knuckles!" several knuckles burst out from the shadows and lunged towards Kagami.

Kagami set his body on fire then spun on his heels creating a small cyclone of fire that deflected all of Hyuga's shadow knuckles.

Then all of a sudden, Izuki appeared behind him and kicked him on the back "G-Guuck!" he grunted in pain as he stumbled forwards almost falling to the ground, but he quickly regained his balance and looked back only to saw an Izuki with his arms surrounded by tornadoes, lunging towards him.

Kagami scoffed "Oh great…why are they always team up against me?!" he asked before he set his arms on fire and lunged towards Izuki, aiming for a punch towards the wind user.

"Whooops! I won't let you go overboard" Hyuga's voice said as his shadow crawled through the ground until it reaches Kagami's feet, then several shadow energy arose from the shadows and bind Kagami's entire body.

"W-What the-?!"

"Hyaagh!" Izuki landed his right fist on Kagami's torso and the tornado surrounding his arm powered up the punch and sent Kagami towards the air

"GAAAAGH!" Kagami cried in pain

Izuki put a thumbs-up towards Hyuga "Nice!" he smiled before he surrounded his self with his wind and lunged up towards Kagami "Air is my best battle field!" he said

Kagami quickly recovered despite the pain. He spun with his arms extended on both opposite sides creating several streams of fire that charges towards Izuki.

Izuki quickly swung his hands with the wind following its movement creating a wind wall which shielded him against Kagami's fire.

When the fire died down and finished passing through him, Izuki opened his eyes, only to gasp in shock as he saw Kagami with his entire arms engulfed by his own fire.

"Take…..this" Kagami swung both of his hands around and created a huge torrent of fire from his hands that charges towards Izuki

Luckily, Izuki was able to react on time and blasted a very powerful tornado from his hands countering Kagami's spell, but Kagami's spell was very strong and enough to overpower his tornado and hit him directly "Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!" he cried in pain as he was pushed down towards the ground very hard. It even created a small crater from where he had landed

Unbeknownst to all of them, the blonde earlier is upstairs watching them. He smiled in interest as he looked towards Kagami, who just landed on the ground.

Everyone was awestruck and was left staring towards Kagami

"Uwooh!" Kawahara said in his amazement "That's so amazing!"

"But, Kagami-kun went a little overboard with that" Kuroko who was frowning suddenly appeared next to Izuki and helped him to sit up

"T-Thanks"

"Izuki! You okay?!" Hyuga asked as he ran towards Izuki and knelt in front of him inspecting all of him

"Y-Yeah, don't worry"

Kagami who realized that he really did went a little overboard also walked ran towards Izuki and knelt in front of him "I-I'm very sorry" he said looking very worried "I got carried away a little bit…"

Izuki shook his head and let out a short laugh "Don't worry, if you got a little carried away, then that means I'm strong" he said but winced "A-Although…..I didn't expect to get a direct hit!" he whined

Riko suddenly walked towards them and the others moved to the side making a way for her "Hang on" she said before he knelt next to Izuki and extended one hand. Then her hand glowed as well as her eyes in an orange light as a magic circle appeared beneath Izuki and he glowed as well

His scratches started to heal and disappeared

"There" Riko said dismissing her spell

"Thanks"

"He's amazing…..Such a powerful spell and he really beat Izuki" Koganei mumbled in awe "He's no ordinary mage, he's a strong one!"

"He might even beat the Generation of Miracles with that" Tsuchida smiled

"Yeah, he really might able to" Furihata said

Kawahara nodded "That's spell looks really powerful with one look!"

"Haha! Maybe he's even better than them already!' Fukuda bragged smiling goofily

Kuroko who overheard the three suddenly gasped silently and remembered what he had told Kagami that he won't even reach the Generation f Miracles' feet, but it seems that he was mistaken. He watched as Kagami helped Izuki to get up.

"Okay, gather around everyone!" Riko shouted catching all of their attentions

"HAI!" they all replied

"Eh?!" Hyuga gasped "You were able to arranged a practice match against Kaijo High?!" he said with his eyes widen as plates

Riko nodded "That's correct. They won't disappoint us. They have strong and trained mages and their facility was very big! It's like a like a replica of battlefield used for Preliminaries" she said "I guess we can train the first years also in this match. Especially Kagami-kun"

"Hai" Kagami blinked

"You can go overboard there. There's nothing to hold back" she said smiling mischievously

"C-Coach?!" the seniors gasped

Kagami smirked very widely "Hah! Of course!" he said pumping his fist' in determination

"Are they really that good?" Furihata asked

"They're strong at a National level. They're a regular participant of Concorso Magia" Hyuga said sighing "Coach…What came into your mind and arranged a match against them of all the other schools?" he asked

Riko shook "Well because they're strong and this year, Kaijo got their hands on one of the Generation of Miracles. Kise Ryota"

All of the first year's eyes widen

"Eh?"

"Him?! The Generation Of Miracles?!"

Kagami who was taken aback for a second suddenly smirked in excitement "I never thought that I'd get to fight them so soon. What a blessing! I'm getting fired up all of a sudden!" he said with his eyes, now filled with determination

Hyuga looked back "But, Kise works as a model right?"

Izuki's eyes widen "Eh?! Seriously?! That's amazing….."

"Good looking and good at sports? That's brutal….What is he? A God?" Koganei sighed

Riko twitched "Idiot" she said before she noticed the commotion "Huh?" she blinked

There was a commotion at the other side of the court, girls are lined up with their own papers, giggling and seemed excited. The line started from the stage where the girls are swarming

"What the heck?" Riko mumbled before she looked up and gasped

Girls are also upstairs blushing and squealing as they looked towards the stage

"H-Huh?! What are all these people doing here? And they're all girls!" she asked

"Uh, I didn't mean for this to happen" a voice said

Hyuga squinted his eyes to try to see through the crowd and saw a blonde hair in the middle "That's…"

Riko found herself gapping "W-What is the Generation of Miracles' Kise Ryota doing here?" she said in her mind as they finally saw the blonde who was signing the girls' papers from the crowd, looking very troubled but composed at the same time

The boy named Kise glanced towards them and to Kuroko to be exact

Kuroko bowed his head down politely "It's nice to see you again" he said

Kise's face brightened upon seeing Kuroko "It's nice to see you!" he smiled

The members looked towards Kuroko and looks back towards Kise

"Kise Ryota…." Hyuga mumbled

Kise scratches his head "S-Sorry, really, u-umm. Do you think you could give me five more minutes?" he asked picking another signing board from a girl looking towards him with heart-struck eyes

"Y-Yeah….." Riko said unconsciously still shocked by his sudden appearance

"T-Take your time" Hyuga sweat dropped

"U-Uh, thank you!" then he looked towards Kuroko "S-Sorry Kurokocchi…" he mumbled

Kuroko twitched and sighed


~.~

Kise jumped down from the stage after finishing the endless flood of girls who wants his autograph "There" he said staring towards the others

"W-What are you doing here?!" Hyuga asked finally free to ask since Kise was occupied earlier, very occupied

Kise stated walking towards them "Well, I heard from Coach that our next opponent will be Seirin, I suddenly remembered that my beloved Kurokocchi went here, so I thought I'd say hi to him and check out our next opponents" he said stopping in front of Kuroko "We were the best of friends and so in-love with each other during our Middle school years" he said "Nee? Kurokocchi?" he asked cheerfully

"Please don't lie; we're just friends and not lovers"

"S-So mean~!" Kise cried as he wiped his single tear

"Beloved"?" Hyuga blinked "W-Wait? You two are lovers?!" he exclaimed

"No."

"S-So really mean~!"

Kagami twitched at the thought "Lovers?..." for some reason he was getting pissed

"Kise Ryota….." Furihata mumbled finding the page of Kise's article "Ah, here" The article shows Kise donning his battle clothes with words like "Rapidly Improving All Rounder! Kise Ryota!" and "The amazing Copy-Cat of the Generation of Miracles".

Fukuda and Kawahara also come closer to him and read the article

"Though he started in his second year of middle school, his exceptional physical and magical abilities got him as a regular mage in Teiko's team in a heartbeat. While he had less experience than the other four, he's a rapidly improving all-rounder." Furihata paused "Know Magic: Sacred Lightning Magic and Copy Magic. Known Spells: Cross Scar, Thunder Lancia and Holy Celestial Thunder" he finished before he gasped silently "T-These are….amazing spells" he said as sweat trickled down from his forehead

"S-Since your second year?!" Hyuga gasped "T-That's…."

"Amazing…" Koganei continued staring towards Kise in awe

"No wonder they are called "Miracles", because they are miracles" Izuki said before he jerked in realization "Wait—is that a pun?" he said as he snapped his fingers and his pun notebook appeared with a "poof!" and began writing

Hyuga twitched "Die."

Kise scratched his hair in embarrassment "U-Uh, that article exaggerated quite a bit, really. I'm glad to be called as one of the Generation of Miracles but I'm the worst of the bunch. They even bullied me and Kurokocchi for it all the time" he said smiling slyly then turning into a proud one "I even protected Kurokocchi onc—"

"That never happened to me, both of it. Please stop saying lies Kise-kun"

Kise cried comically again "A-Arre? It was just me?" he said wiping his tears

"Hai" Kuroko nodded "Oh, and the only thing Kise-kun is good at is copying others" he said

Kise's eyes widen "K-Kurokocchi!" he cried pouncing over Kuroko and hugged him "W-Why are you bullying me too?!" he asked as he shook Kuroko "Waaaaaaah! Kurokoc—"

All of a sudden, his eyes turned serious and moved his arm swiftly to create a lightning shield that defended them from an incoming fire. He winced as he covered Kuroko , protecting him from the fire "Oww! What was that for?! Kurokocchi almost got hurt!" he complained sounding a bit angry looking towards the source of fire and saw Kagami "How rude!" he frowned

"Kagami-kun!/Kagami!" They all exclaimed in shock

"That's not nice Kagami-kun!" Riko yelled angrily

But Kagami didn't paid attention to them "Sorry for interrupting your little reunion. Don't tell me you came all the way here just to greet us"

"Actually, I came all the way here from Kaijo to greet Kurokocchi since we didn't see each other for so long~!" he said hugging Kuroko and shook him aggresively

"U-Uh…" Everyone sweat dropped as they watch Kuroko getting glomp by Kise on his chest

An angry vein popped on Kagami's forehead "STOP THAT!" before he sighed and smirked "Why don't we have a little duel, pretty boy?" he said raising his hand gestured him to come

"Ehh?~ I didn't come here for that…..and I don't know if I'm ready" he said pulling away from Kuroko "But I just….." he said looking up and think about something for a second but looked back towards Kagami and smiled "Yosh! Let's do it! I have to thank you for that splendid display" he said as he began taking off his silver school coat and winked at Kuroko "I'll fight for you! Kurokocchi!" he said sending a flying kiss towards Kuroko

Kagami twitched once again and clenched both of his fist and teeth "T-That bastard!..."

Kuroko looked away and fanned away the imaginary heart towards him, rejecting Kise's affection

"E-Eh?" Kise sweat dropped

"Please go easy on him Kise-kun. He's just starting and haven't been faced with a stronger opponent" he said looking towards Kise in the eye

Kise was taken aback but smiled and nodded happily "If Kurokocchi says so!" he

Hyuga and Riko "Like a in-love idiot" they thought

Riko just sighed as he watched Kagami who was wearing a confident smile "Geez…so arrogant" she said

"This could be bad"

"Uwah!" Riko jerked in surprise but quickly recovered "Huh? Why?"

Kuroko just diverted his gaze towards the two and remained silent "…..."

All of them walked towards the stage and left Kise and Kagami alone on the center of the court.

"The field's all yours you two! Don't held back! Also, the MFI is still working so no worries!" Riko said

Kagami nodded "Hai!" and looked towards Kise

"Ready when you are" Kise said as he readied his stance

"Ah!" Kagami nodded as he readied his stance too

The two have a staring competition, looking at each other's eyes, with Kagami's eyes full of intensity and Kise's are relaxed. The whole Gymnasium was filled with silence

Then, the silence broke up when Kagami made the first move when a red magic seal appeared beneath him and erupted streams of fire "Flare Blitz!" he said thrusting his arm upwards and a huge glowing red magic circle shoot out from his hand. He brought down his hands and fire started to shoot out from the magic circle heading towards Kise

Kise's eyes widen "T-That's—" he quickly turned into a thunder and moved swiftly out of the way

Kagami followed Kise's route and continued firing fire towards Kise who dodge them all

"Tch!" Kagami clucked his tongue in irritation and twitched "So quick….." he whispered as he jumped back dodging Kise who landed struck his thunder body on the floor which caused a light explosion

Kagami got hit by a piece of rock from the broken floor and winced in pain "Ittai….." he mumbled as

The smoke caused by the explosion died down and revealed Kise, unscathed standing on the same place he had landed earlier. "Not bad" he said

"Heh, same as you" he said before he crossed his arms in front of him "Wrathful Explosions!" he shouted

Kise blinked "Hmm?" as he looked down "Eh?"

Several red magic seals appeared spread on the floor and created a sequence of vertical explosions

Kise gasped "What the-!" as he created a lightning vortex that protected him from the explosions, he swung his hands and broke through the smoke and raised his hands and generated a lightning energy "Rolling Thunder!" he said as he finished generating and created a huge saucer-like lightning and threw it very hard towards Kagami, the attack itself was powerful enough to cause a slight whirlwind.

Kagami "Whoa!" he quickly bent his torso backwards dodging the saucer by inch. He fell on the floor as he failed to maintain his balance.

Kise smirked "Nice!" he said "But you know, you shouldn't let your guard down immediately" he said as he swung his hand backwards and the saucer changed direction and turned back heading again towards Kagami.

Kuroko's eyes widen "Behind You! Kagami-kun!" he shouted still in monotone voice

Kagami heard and shot his head back "W-Wha-?!" he quickly stood up to dodge but too late

BOOM!

The saucer-like thunder struck down in front of Kagami and sent him back flying "N-Ngghk!" he winced as he endure the pain caused by Kise's attack

He spun and quickly regained balance "Blazing Cross!" he shouted igniting his hands with fire, he slashed his hands in front of him creating an "X" shaped fire blast heading towards Kise.

Kise blinked in awe "Whoooa….Hahaha!" he laughed "You're good!" he said as he ignited his hands with golden lightning with particles floating around it

Hyuga watched Kise "That's a rare form of lightning. No wonder it is called "Sacred Lightning Magic" Wonder what his special power is…." He mumbled

"Maybe we're about to see it soon" Riko said

"Thunder Strike!" Kise yelled as he punched the incoming blast of fire stopping it successfully from advancing further.

"W-WHAT?!" Kagami exclaimed

Kise aimed his other hand and twisted it a bit "I'm not done yet!" he moved back his other hand backwards, before he punched the blast of fire very hard making it disappear

"Y-You!" Kagami ignited his hands with fire and lunges towards Kise

Kise sighed "I'd like to fight you more but I don't have any time left. So I guess I'll make this quick" he said as he closed his eyes

Kagami still continued advancing towards Kise who was still standing there, not moving.

Then all of a sudden, Kise turned into thunder and moved out of the way making Kagami miss

Kise appeared several meters away from Kagami, on air

"Damn you!" Kagami growled as he looked back

"Copying Attacks…." Kise mumbled "Completed!" he shot his eyes open which were glowing

"Eh?" Koganei blinked "His eyes….are glowing?"

Mitobe nodded "…"

He quickly extended his arms on opposite sides and he set his hand ablaze with yellow fire

"Eh?" Kagami's eyes narrowed "Fire? But yellow?...What kind magic does he have?" he mumbled

Izuki's eyes widen "W-Wait! That's!—" he gasped realizing something

Kise swung his arms in a circular motion and created a huge torrent of fire from his hands, directed towards Kagami

Kagami's eyes widen "You've got to be kidding me!" he yelled "That's my attack!"

"So I was right…." Izuki mumbled

"About what?" Hyuga asked

"Kise can copy other people's spell, but I don't know how he can do that….."

"It's very simple" Kuroko said

"How?" Riko asked

"You can say that Kise-kun is really talented, and his talent is copying others. He can copy spells by simply watching them, how they work, how it was casted and etc, after he finished gathering that data, it will be stored in his memory" Kuroko tightens his lips "But, when he copy other people's spells, he can use it 3 times stronger than the original one" Kuroko finished

Riko's eyes widen as well as the others "WHAT?! T-Then—"

Kuroko nodded "Yes, Kagami-kun is in trouble" he said

"T-That's….crazy. Now I know why you are called monsters" Hyuga said laughing a bit

"Tch!" Kagami also did the same and swung his arms in a circular motion creating torrent of fire that is quickly charging towards Kise's copy of his attack. Then he gasped "What the hell?!" he stared as he compared his spell against Kise and Kise's copy is much larger than his

Then their attacks clashed

"Ngh!"

"Hmm….." Kise smirked

Their attacks continued clashing against each other, but after a few seconds, Kise was overwhelming Kagami's.

"Gnghk!" Kagami struggled as he strengthen his spell even more

"It's no use" Kise mumbled as his copy dominates Kagami's and hit Kagami directly

"N-Ngh…..Gaaaaaaaaaaaagh!" Kagami yelled as he was pushed down to the ground taking in all of the Kise's copy.

"Kagami!" The freshmen trio exclaimed

The attack died down, Kagami was on a deep crater lying there wounded and struggling in pain.

Kise landed on the ground gracefully and put a hand on his waist sighing.

Everyone was silenced with mixed emotions

"So this is the Generation of Miracles" Kawahara mumbled before he faced Kuroko "Your friend's way too good Kuroko" he said

Kuroko wore a stern expression on his face "I don't know that person…."

"Huh?"

"To be honest, I may have underestimated him until just now. It's only been a few months after I left them, but…..he had improved far more quickly than I expected….." his face turned sad "He's much stronger than me now….." he said

"Kuroko…." Furihata mumbled

Izuki quickly started walking "I'm going to heal him" he said before he jumped down from the stage and started walking towards Kagami

"A-Ah…" Hyuga nodded, still shaken at what he had seen earlier

Kise had a sour look on his face before he sighed and scratches his head, he let out a groan "I don't know about this" he said looking down towards Kagami

"Eh?" Kagami raised a brow

Izuki arrived and kneel behind Kagami "Stay still" he mumbled before he extended his hands towards Kagami and placed his hands over his shoulders "Heal" he said before his hands glowed and Kagami was surrounded by a white light

"After something so disappointing, I can't just leave now" then he turned back and started walking towards Kuroko wearing a smile "Please give Kurokocchi to me" he said

Everyone gapped 'Ehh?..."

Kise stopped in front of Kuroko "Come join me in Kaijo" he hold out a hand "Let's fight together again. "

Everyone gasped "W-What?!"

Kagami's eyes widen "The hell?..."

"I seriously admire you Kurokocchi. It's a waste for you and your talent to stay here. Come with me to Kaijo. I'll hire someone to take care of your papers so no need to worry"

Riko frowned "Eh…."

Hyuga blinked "He's really going that far?" he scowled

"He's seriously underestimating us" Izuki said wearing an irritated face as he finished healing Kagami who only mumbled a "thank you" to him

Kuroko stared at Kise "Why are you going that far just to make me come with you?" he asked

Kise placed a hand on Kuroko's shoulder "If you're there with me, I can protect you, watch you and…..love you" he said staring at Kuroko tenderly

"….." Kuroko's eyes widen

Kagami clenched his hands "Kuroko…."

"I promise you, I won't leave you alone like how he did. I won't hurt you Kurokocchi. I really promise, I won't make you sad" he said turning very serious

Kuroko was now gapping "Kise-kun…."

"So, what do you say Kurokocchi?" Kise asked

Everyone tensed up praying that Kuroko won't come with him. Some were closing their eyes and some were very nervous while Kagami was having mixed emotions about Kuroko.

Kuroko looked down and shook his head. He put his hand over Kise's and brought them down gently "I am really happy to hear you say that Kise-kun. Believe me, my heart warmed up because of your touching words but…." He bowed down politely "I must respectfully decline your offer" he said straightening his body

The other's smiled even Kagami while Kise's eyes widen in shock

"But! That doesn't make any sense" he reacted in disbelief "Besides, this isn't like you. Winning is everything right? Why didn't you go somewhere better?!" he asked still shocked

Kuroko looked away from him "My thinking has changed since then"

Kise's eyes widen "W-What?...Why?!" he cried

"I'm still angry at what you all have done!..." Kuroko shouted surprising everyone

"E-Eh?..."

"I'm trying to forget what you all have done to me. I really planned to go alone and defeat you all" he said

"I-I….forgive me Kurokocchi….I-I didn't mean it!" he said looking very hurt "I-I….I—"

Kuroko placed a hand over Kise patting him, even though Kuroko was having a hard time because of the blonde's height.

"K-Kurokocchi…" Kise looked down towards Kuroko who was smiling towards him

"I know that you're not really the one to blame Kise-kun. But, I'm not fighting you all to take my revenge, I'm not that kind of person…..I'm fighting you all to try and save you from the monsters you've become…" he said flashing a brief smile towards Kise which made the blonde blush

"Kurokocchi….."

"More importantly, I made a promise to Kagami-kun. We will defeat you all and become the best in Japan" he said

Kise straightened his body and sighed "I guess I can't change your mind whatever I do…."

"Yeah, you can't win against him" Kagami who was standing behind Kise said

Kise looked back towards him "You…." He eyed Kagami almost glaring

Kagami let out a laugh "I should be the one saying that line Kuroko" he said

Kuroko's squinted "I'm serious" he said

Kagami laughed again "So this is the Generation of Miracles. The really are amazing! And there's four more guys stronger than him! I can't help but smile. I'm getting fired up!"

Kise pouted "By the way, Kurokocchi, what is your relationship with Kagami?" he asked facing Kagami

"Eh?" they both blinked

"Is he your new boyfriend?!" he cried

"Eeeeeeh?!" Kagami exclaimed as he can feel his cheeks getting warm "NO!" he said

"T-That fast?!" Hyuga exclaimed

"Nee~! Kurokocchi! Answer me!" Kise whined as he shook Kuroko's body

Kuroko let out another sigh "Don't worry, we're not. I just met him yesterday" he said

Kise pouted "….."

"What is it?"

"I don't believe you"

"Why?"

"Because why are you acting very close if you just met yesterday?!"

"Ah….I can't answer that" he said

"What?!"

Kise just glared towards Kagami "Fine!" he looked away "I won't pry any longer!"

Kagami twitched "B-Bastard!"

Then Kise faced Kuroko and smiled "I should be leaving now Kurokocchi"

Kuroko nodded "Be careful"

"But, before I leave let me tell you something"

Kuroko blinked in question

"I'm not giving you up Kurokocchi. I know you already justified your reasons but, I still want to be with you!" he said taking Kuroko's hands "If you want to defeat the others then I'll help you!"

Kuroko gapped "Kise-kun…"

"That's why!" he turned and pointed towards Kagami

"W-What?" Kagami flinched

"Let's make a deal! Whoever wins in the Match will be having Kurokocchi! If you lose I will have him and transfer him to Kaijou immediately. But if you win, I won't bother you on taking Kurokocchi away" he declared

"EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHH?!" the others exclaimed

Kagami twitched and laughed "Fine then, it's a deal. But—" he glared towards Kise "If you're thinking that you can take Kuroko away from us easily then you're highly mistaken!"

Kise frowned "Why?"

"Because-" he pulled Kuroko away from Kise taking him to his chest "He's mine!"

Everyone's eyes widen

"O-Oi, isn't that a declaration of love already?!" Koganei whispered

"Ah" Izuki nodded

Hyuga face-palmed "…You're one lucky bastard Kuroko…."

"WHAT?!" Kise exclaimed "He's mine!" he said pulling Kuroko's other arm

Kuroko just sighed "…How troublesome…." He mumbled

"Tch….." Kise glared towards Kagami and Kagami glared back

The continued with their glaring competition with each of them filled with determination like beast with their mate on the middle
