Hi guys! SO...Looks like it's finally time for the OVA. The first one is Idiot's Don't Win. Random Question...what name do you prefer more, Kiseki no Sedai or Generation of Miracles?
OVA 1
Previously:
"Actually, we have one more video to watch." Momoi said.
"What?" Some people asked.
"We have one more episode to watch." Momoi repeated herself. "But that's impossible." Kasamatsu said. "We are only suppose to watch 3 episodes a day." Momoi nodded. "Yep." Momoi said. "But this one is actually an OVA so technically we can still watch."
"I see." Akashi said. "What is it called?" Momoi looked at the title. "It's called Idiot's Don't Win" She said. Kagami twitched. "Ah" Seirin said. "We know what it is."
"Really?" Everyone else asked. "Yep." Izuki said. "It's about the exam period before the championship league."
"How do you know that?" Mayuzumi asked. Some people jumped since they haven't heard him speak in a while. "You'll see." Seirin said. "Well then...Let's watch." Momoi said.
The OVA started with a brief introduction of the GoM, Kuroko, Kagami and what has happened so far, done by Riko. "However...it's to soon to rejoice" Riko said concluding her narrative.
"She's making it sound like as if the tests were the end of the world." Hayama said with a snort. 'That's because they were.' Seirin thought glancing at Kagami.
The title of the OVA appeared.
"No opening?" Takao asked. "That's too bad."
"Man, our coach always drives us around like this." Kagami grumbled. "What's with bringing all our midterm as well? I hope she's not planning anything crazy again."
"I don't know." Kuroko said. "All I've heard is that you can't play in the Inter-High, if you fail a test."
"Huh? Seriously?" Kagami asked.
"That might be problem for Taiga." Himuro said with an amused smile. Everyone in Seirin except Kagami snorted. Kagami avoided everyone's eyes.
"Yo Kuroko, Kagami." A voice called out to them. The two of them turned and noticed it was the freshmen trio.
"Oh," Kagami said. "Furihata, Kawahara and...Fukuda.
"You finally remembered our names." Fukuda said.
"I'm not good at remembering names and faces." Kagami said in embarrassment.
"I wonder why we are doing this now." Furihata said. "Finals are way off."
"So you can improve on subjects you're bad at." All the seniors said.
"Isn't it too early?"
"It might be related to the proficiency test in two days." Kuroko said.
"But aren't those totally unrelated to our grades?" Kawahara asked.
"What?" Furihata asked. "Is that so?"
"Then, what's the problem?" Kagami asked. "We should just focus on our practice."
"There's a huge problem." Riko said with an annoyed expression.
"Is it just me or does you coach always appeared to be annoyed?" Wakamatsu asked. "She can be happy." Seirin said. "For example, when we win a match." Koganei supplied.
"She's freaking me out." Fukuda said.
'What else is new?' Seirin thought.
"As you all know, the proficiency tests are in two days." Riko said. "And yes, they are unrelated to your grades. But…"
Hyuga continued the explanation. "We have 300 students each year here." He said. "The test tells you exactly where you are placed.
"The bottom third have remedial classes next Saturday and that's the problem." Izuki said.
"You guys have remedial classes?" Hayama asked. "We don't."
"Thank goodness for that." Mayuzumi muttered.
'If my memory serves me well…' Imayoshi thought. 'That Saturday was...Oh…This will be fun.'
"Saturday...wait, the final league's!?" Kagami asked in shock.
"That's not good." Those that were not at Seirin said. 'Especially when your ace sucks at studying.' Seirin thought.
"Right." Koganei said. "If you screw up in the tests, you can't play. You gotta deal with that before winning or losing."
"I get it." Kawahara said.
"And that's why we decided to check out who got poor midterm results." Hyuga said. "Anyone who does will face special training at the Coach's house."
"What, Coach's house!?" The freshmen said in surprise.
"We are only going to be studying, okay?" Riko said in embarrassment. Then her aura turned menacing. "Idiot's who miss games because of this can't expect late night fun from me."
'Talk about a 180.' Everyone thought.
The freshmen were terrified. "Coach, you scared them stiff." Izuki whispered to her ear.
"Alright take out your midterms." Hyuga said.
"They aren't going to actually show our midterm marks, are they?" Kawahara asked in a panic. "That's like an invasion of privacy!"
"This entire thing has been an invasion of privacy." Furihata said. "Half the things we don't want people to know are being known."
The freshmen gave their midterms to their seniors. "Here." Hyuga said giving Riko the midterms.
"Thanks." Riko said. She looked over the marks. "Furihata-kun, Kawahara-kun and Fukuda-kun...they all did well enough. Just don't forget to review on your own, okay?"
"Yes."
"We're safe."
"They didn't show our marks!" Fukuda said cheerfully. "For some reason, I get the feeling that mine and Kagami-kun marks are going to be shown." Kuroko said. "For real!?" Kagami said to Kuroko in shock. The last thing he wants is his grades to shown to all their opponents!
'All that's left…'
Kuroko and Kagami gave their test papers to their seniors. 'Here it comes.' Hyuga thought. 'The most important ones for the finals.'
'Seirin's basketball future depends on these papers!' Izuki thought.
"Ok, let's starts with Kuroko-kun." Riko said. The screen showed Kuroko's midterm marks.
'Wow...it's average.' Almost everyone thought while Kuroko sighed because they really did show his marks.
"Not bad Tetsu." Aomine said with an impressed look.
"Wow, it's average." His seniors said simultaneously.
"It's not bad or anything!" Riko said quickly. "But it's not good either."
"But Japanese is pretty high!" Tsuchida said.
"But it's still pretty average." Koganei said. Meanwhile Kuroko was watching his seniors with a blank expression.
Everyone laughed while Seirin's second years gave Kuroko an apologetic smile.
"63 on Japanese History." Kagami said. "Kuroko, you're clever."
'Oh dear…' Those that didn't know Kagami's marks thought.
"Eh" The seniors looked at Kagami with an absolute terrified expression.
"No...it can't be...or rather as expected." Riko said weakly.
The seniors looked at Kagami's midterms. As expected...they were horrible!
"Wow...so bad." Kise said. "Were you honestly expecting better?" Midorima asked as he pushed up his glasses. "Honestly, no." Kise said. Everyone else agreed with Kise. Kagami just glared at them with a red face.
"So bad!" The seniors said in absolute horror.
"I knew you are dumb, but to think you are this dumb!" Riko said.
"I think this is the first time I'm seeing a zero out of anything." Tsuchida said.
"And how the hell do you fail English, you are from America!?" They all asked Kagami simultaneously.
Even though they shouldn't be laughing at someone's misery, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Japan's English is too formal!" Kagami said defensively. "I got by just fine with feeling and instinct."
"That may be true but you don't see me failing English, Taiga." Himuro told Kagami. "That's because Tatsuya's a genius." Kagami said with a grumble.
"Don't get arrogant with me." Riko said as she tossed Kagami.
"That goddamn hurts." Kagami said. Meanwhile the other schools were now downright terrified of Seirin's coach!
"Oh man, we are all gonna have to work together for this one." Hyuga said.
"Are y'all- you all really that smart?" Kagami asked blankly.
"They are at least smarter than you." The other schools said to Kagami. "In fact, I think everyone here is smarter than you." Mayuzumi said. "Except for Aomine." Susa said. "True." Imayoshi said "Aomine's intellect is close to Kagami."
"Oi!" Aomine said, while everyone else agreed with Imayoshi. Kagami grumbled underneath his breath.
Riko was clearly offended by Kagami's question. "Know your place!" She said kicking Kagami in the face.
"Course we are!" Hyuga said. "At least, more than you!"
Everyone snorted.
"Then, let's take this moment to announce our result in the last proficiency test." Koganei said proudly.
"You must have done pretty well, if you wanted to boost about placement." Hayama said. Koganei gave a sheepish laugh.
"First our captain: 112 out of 305!"
"Good enough for me." Hyuga said.
"Izuki Shun, 71!"
"Not bad." Moriyama said. "I got the same placement." Moriyama said.
"A high schooler with a high score! Good job, me." Izuki said.
"Ignoring that, Tsuchida Satoshi: 81!"
Everyone laughed while Izuki pouted.
"Mitobe Rinnosuke, 74!"
"And finally me, Koganei Shinji, 52!" Koganei said proudly.
"That's the highest one yet!" Some people said. "So Koganei-san is the smartest amongst Seirin's regular." Takao said. "How unexpected!"
"Everyone is amazing!" Kagami said. "Especially Koganei-senpai."
"Lastly, our coach, 2!"
"Wow, that's impressive!" Almost everyone said with an impressed look.
"The only that I know with a higher placement is Sei-chan." Mibuchi said.
Kagami was shocked. "You, coach?" He said. "You are that smart?"
"Do you want to get hit again!?" The other team asked Kagami.
"That's right." Riko said proudly.
"Even though, our captain wears glasses, his rank was…" Kagami said.
Hyuga was clearly offended by what Kagami said. "Don't go believing everyone in glasses is smart!" he yelled. "And getting above average is plenty good itself."
"Damn, who cares about grades if I can play basketball just fine." Kagami muttered.
Riko put him in a wrestling hold. "Even idiot's can play basketball." She said. "But idiots don't win!"
"There's the title of the episode." Hayama said.
Kagami had nothing to say to that.
The screen changed to show Kise reading something. "Who cares about grades when I am good at basketball?" He sighed as he put down his book.
"Want me to repeat what Seirin's coach just said?" Kasamatsu asked Kise. "No thanks." Kise said wearily.
"They were kidding when they said they would drop me from the start line if I did bad, right? How serious can our team get?"
The screen changed to Takao and Midorima. Takao as usual was pulling the rear cart.
"Has there ever been a day you don't pedal the rear cart, Takao?" Kobori asked Takao. It took one whole minute before Takao answered "I can't remember."
"How did you get so good at rock-paper-scissors, Shin-chan?" Takao asked Midorima.
"Do you guys know why?" Takao asked Midorima's former teammates. "Nope." They said. "All we know is that ever since the beginning Mido-chin is good at rock-paper-scissors, the same way Kuro-chin sucks at it." Kuroko just sighed.
"You are just really bad, Takao." Midorima said.
"Oh yeah, aren't the proficiency tests in two days?" Takao asked. "You studying?"
"Of course." Midorima said. "I only rely on myself."
"Clearly." Everyone in the room said.
"I'm pretty bad at Japanese History." Takao said. "Everyone is going by weird names like Fujiwara-no-whatever."
Everyone laughed except for Hyuga who looked scandalized. He was about to go on a history rant but his teammates stopped him.
"There's no need to understand anything if you memorize everything, fool." Midorima told him.
"Actually, it has been scientifically proven that if you only memorize the content and not understanding the content is highly inefficient." Mayuzumi stated.
"For subjects like science and math." Akashi said. "History is all about memorization."
"Then what parts do you think will show up?" Takao asked him. "Take a guess."
"Why must I?" Midorima asked.
"I saw today's Oha-asa." Takao said. "Doesn't Cancer have the best luck? Do me a favor."
"You too!?" Takao's seniors asked him in shock. "Kinda mandatory when you are partnered with Shin-chan." Takao answered.
"Don't beg for help." Midorima told him.
"Rude." Almost everyone said.
The screen changed to Riko's house as Kagami and Kuroko entered her room. "Excuse us." Kuroko said politely.
"Is this coach's room?" Kagami asked. "It's cleaner and girlier than I expected.
"I'm surprise the coach didn't attack Kagami for that comment." Furi said to Kawahara and Fukuda. "Probably because she had a more important thing to deal with." Fukuda said.
"Sit your butt down, Bakagami." Riko told him.
"Bakagami…" Kagami said wearily.
"Well, you are a Bakagami." Everyone told him. "Just like how Dai-chan is an Ahomine" Momoi said cheerfully.
"Why the hell are you guys insulting me every single time you insult Bakagami!?" Aomine yelled at everyone in exasperation.
"Let's jump right into your training." Riko said holding a whipping stick.
Some of the people looked absolutely terrified seeing the whipping stick.
"There are 5 tests in the proficiency test." Riko continued. "I prepared a special team of people with different specialities."
"A special team?" Kagami said.
"First is Mitobe-kun with science." Riko said. "Kuroko-kun has Japanese."
"So she says." Kuroko said. "Please prepare yourself."
"Why you too?" Kagami said.
"He had the best Japanese marks." Hyuga said with a shrug.
"Izuki-kun has math."
"Does math bring out your wrath?" Izuki said "Good job, me."
"This guy's worthless!" Kagami said.
"Considering the fact, how he had the best math marks." Hyuga said.
"Did he really?" The other school said with look that clearly said 'We don't believe you.'
"Why the hell are you looking like that!?" Izuki exclaimed.
"Social studies with Hyuga-kun."
"I'll beat the Warring State period into your bones." Hyuga said.
"Looks like we found you a History tutor, Takao." Midorima told him. 'A scary tutor.' Takao thought with a shudder.
"Way too specific, and not even on the test!" Kagami said.
"English with Tsuchida-kun."
"You are going to teach me English as well!?" Kagami exclaimed.
"Considering the fact you failed…" The other schools said. "It's an absolute must." Akashi finished.
"I got 95 on my exam." Tsuchida said.
'The only dependable guy.' Kagami thought.
"I'll be overseeing everything myself." Riko said as she and the others looked at Kagami with a menacing aura.
"I'm starting to feel bad for Kagami." Hayama said with a little shudder. "We had Sei-chan for a tutor." Mibuchi reminded him. "Oh yeah." Hayama said with a shudder as he recalled those sessions. "Never mind."
"We are the Teach Bakagami Special Team."
"What about you, Koganei-senpai." Kagami asked Koganei.
"I'm in charge of waking you up, if you fall asleep." Koganei said proudly.
"Those are fun." Some people in the room said. "Not if you are the one waking up." A few people muttered underneath their breath.
"Since Koganei-kun is pretty average in everything." Riko said. "A jack of all trades and master of none."
"How long does she plan to call me that?" Koganei asked with crocodile tears. "Until you are good at something." Everyone else told him.
"You are so mean." Koganei said.
"Arf" Nigou said.
"Arf" Nigou barked back.
Kagami jumped in fright. "Nigou!" Kagami said. "Where did you come from!?"
"He'll be playing guard dog to make sure you don't run away." Hyuga said.
Nigou walked up to Kagami and barked.
Kagami shifted away from Nigou and waved his hand. "S-stop it!" He said. "Back off!"
Some people snorted.
"Here is your schedule from now until the test!" Riko said as she pointed to a chart on the wall.
"That's one crazy schedule." Takao said. "Is there even time to sleep in that thing?" Wakamatsu asked with a blank look.
"Where did that come from?" Kagami wondered out loud.
"You will literally will go sleepless until the tests." Kuroko said.
"But don't people say it's bad to go sleepless the night before a big test?" Fukai asked.
"Desperate times call for desperate measure." Okamura said.
"Why does it sound like you are speaking from experience?" Fukai asked him with a blank look.
"But isn't staying up supposed to be inefficient!?" Kagami said as he started to explain.
"I can't believe I thought like a Bakagami." Fukai grimaced as his teammates laughed. "You too are calling me a Bakagami!" Kagami exclaimed. Fukai twitched. "First of all, I am older than you." He said. "Second of all, I call people as how I see them and right now, I am seeing you as an idiot. Lastly, respect your seniors!" Kagami flinched. "Yes...sorry." He said.
Riko immediately cut him off. "Ditch efficiency if you want to enter society!" She yelled. "You can't even spell it right in Kanji!"
"Ouch!" Everyone said. "That's gotta sting." Mibuchi said.
"You sure are through." Tsuchida said wearily.
"People won't die from two all-nighters in a row." Riko said. "Alright, start with math."
"Let's do this!" Izuki said. "Sin, cosine and tan, remember these formula's with your body."*
"That's why I said this guy is useless!" Kagami said. He tried to get away but his seniors stopped him. "Let me go!"
The other schools howled with laughter while Seirin (sans Kiyoshi) gave an exasperated sigh.
The next day Kuroko and Kagami were walking to school. Kuroko was testing Kagami's knowledge on science. Naturally...Kagami was failing.
"He clearly said they have regenerative powers." Midorima said. "Which means they can grow back their detached limbs."
"There are creatures that can actually do that!?" The not-so-smart people exclaimed.
"Who cares about planaria?" Kagami said in frustration.
"It'll be all over if you say that, Kagami-kun." Kuroko told him. "Calm down a little."
"They gang up on me all night and then finally release me only for me to go to school." Kagami complained.
"Well yeah...you can't skip school." Kagami's seniors said in a matter of fact tone.
"Are they trying to kill me?"
"We are still not done with Mitobe-senpai's subject." Kuroko told him.
Kuroko stopped walking since he noticed the walking sign changed. But Kagami was too tired to notice. "Um…" Kuroko called out to Kagami but Kagami was to tired to hear him. A loud truck horn snapped Kagami out of his stupor. He quickly jumped out of the danger.
"That was close." Kobori said with a sigh. He wasn't the only one who sighed. "Why didn't you say anything?" Kagami asked Kuroko. "I did but you didn't hear me." Kuroko told him. "Say it sooner!" Kagami exclaimed.
"Holy crap!" Kagami said in fright.
"Are you okay?" Kuroko asked with concern.
"Seriously…" Kagami said. "Forget about the final round. Am I even gonna survive until the test?"
"I'm not sure." Kuroko said honestly.
"Thanks for your confidence." Kagami said with a blank look as everyone else laughed.
"Kagami-kun, go for it." Kuroko said holding out his two fists.
"Kuroko, you sure are having fun." Kagami said as he returned the fist bump.
"No way." Kuroko said. It was hard to tell if he was serious or not.
Kagami sighed.
Everyone snorted.
At around lunch, Kagami stretched after he slept through classes. "Kagami." Izuki called out to him. "We are going over prime factorization in the library today." Then he did a pun as soon as he noticed a lunch. "Oh man, good job me!"
"I kind of want to kill him." Kagami said.
"Why!?" Izuki asked Kagami. Meanwhile, Hyuga sympathetically nodded his head and said. "I know how you feel Kagami." Everyone else just laughed.
"He doesn't mean any harm." Kuroko said defending his senpai.
"Thank you, Kuroko." Izuki said to Kuroko with a smile.
"In fact, all our senpais believe they can't do without you."
"I know." Kagami said with a sigh. "I'm so dumb, that forget the Inter-High, I might not make it to the final league. With three of the Kiseki no Sedai left, is this really the time to mess around?"
The screen changed to Aomine zooming past his opponents.
Aomine shrugged with a smirk.
It showed Murasakibara blocking one of his opponent's shot.
"Look Atsushi, it's you." Himuro told Murasakibara. On the outside, Murasakibara looked uninterested but Himuro could see an excited gleam in his eyes.
It showed Akashi observing his surroundings.
"Oh look, it's Sei-chan." Mibuchi said. "Actually, it's the other me." Akashi said with a mysterious smile. "It's still Sei-chan." Mibuchi said with a shrug. 'That was a lot sooner than I expected.' Bokushi said. 'So you are paying attention.' Akashi said to his other self with an amused smile. Bokushi said nothing.
"Your strength is indispensable if we want to defeat them." Kuroko told Kagami.
"Thanks." Kagami told Kuroko.
The screen changed to Midorima and Takao eating lunch on the rooftop. At that moment, Midorima's cellphone started to ring. When he picked it up, he was greeted by Kise's loud "Midorimacchi!" In fact, Kise was so loud that even Takao was shocked by it.
"You are too loud!" Kasamatsu said as he hit Kise. "Are your ears alright?" Kimura asked Midorima. "They are fine." Midorima said pushing up his glasses. "They have been exposed to Kise's loud voice since middle school, so they are immune to it."
"So mean, Midorimacchi!" Kise wailed.
"You are too loud." Midorima told Kise. "What do you want, Kise?"
"Kise…" Takao said. "You mean from Kaijou?"
"Is there any other?" Kise said tilting his head.
"You still got that thing?" Kise asked Midorima. "Lend it to me!"
"What thing?" Midorima asked.
"You know what thing!" Kise said. "Your secret weapon for tests."
"He has a secret weapon for tests?" Almost everyone asked. Takao realizing that he might be in danger soon, left his spot and joined Seirin. "What did you do this time?" Kuroko asked Takao. "You'll see." Takao said with a mischievous smile.
"What do you all want from me?" Midorima said. "Lucky items only help those who help themselves. They won't save those who depend on others."
"You are so sold." Kise told Midorima. Before he could say anything else, Midorima hung up. "Hey, Midorimacchi!?" Kise said in shock. "Aw man, I'm in trouble. Oh yeah, pretty sure Kurokocchi had one as well."
He called Kuroko. As soon as Kuroko saw the name, he cancelled the call.
"Who was it?" Kagami asked.
"Wrong number." Kuroko said.
"So mean, Kurokocchi!" Kise wailed as everyone else howled in laughter. "I should have done that." Midorima muttered.
"He totally cut my call off." Kise said with tears in his eyes. "You are making me cry, Kurokocchi."
"Kagami-kun." Kuroko called out to Kagami who was struggling to study.
"Huh?"
"This is a last resort." Kuroko said. "Use this if all else fail." Kuroko gave him the pencil.
"You gave him my pencil!?" Midorima yelled at Kuroko. "Why would you do that!?"
"Desperate times calls for desperate measures." Kuroko told him.
"Even so!" Midorima said. "The fact that you gave it to him of all people!"
"Hey, I wasn't any more please with the fact that I had to use your goddamn pencil!" Kagami said.
"You still used it, didn't you?" Midorima told him. Kagami had nothing to repute that.
"What is this?" Kagami said. "There are numbers or something."
"Midorima-kun gave it to me in middle school." Kuroko said.
"You still have it, Tetsu-kun!" Momoi said gleefully. Kuroko smiled at her. "Yes." He said. "After all, it is token from a very memorable day."*
"It certainly was a very fun day to remember." Kise said with a smile. "I guess." Midorima said while trying to hid his nostalgic smile. Aomine and Murasakibara also had nostalgic smiles on their face. "What day?" Everyone else asked. "Oh that's right, Akashicchi wasn't with us that day." Kise said. "I'm sorry, Akashi-kun." Kuroko said. "But you will have to wait and see." Akashi wasn't happy with the answer but he relented.
"The pencil of the lazy god: rolly pencil."
"I'm surprised you still remember the name." Midorima said. "How much help can a pencil be?" Those that didn't know the pencil's power said.
"Like hell I need this!" Kagami said. He tossed the pencil, which bounced all around before it Kagami straight into the center of his forehead.
"What the hell!?" Kagami cried out in agony.
"Disrespect lucky items and it will come back to haunt you." Midorima said casually while everyone else (except Kagami) laughed.
"It attacks non-believers." Kuroko told him.
This caused everyone to laugh even harder.
Back in Shutoku, Midorima was looking at his own pencil. "So you do have a secret weapon." Takao said. "Hand it over if it works that well."
Midorima glared at Takao who was still sitting with Seirin. "Takao-kun...could it be…?" Before Kuroko could say anything, Takao silenced. "No spoilers." He said with a cheeky grin.
"I refuse." Midorima said. "It is my motto to prepare for each and every possibility."
Back at Riko's apartment. Hyuga was telling Kagami off for getting a history question wrong.
'I don't see how figures are going to help here.' Everyone except for Seirin thought.
"Come on, Koganei-kun." Riko said to a sleeping Koganei. "There is no point in watching him if you fall asleep."
"It was 1'o clock in the morning!" Koganei said. "You can't blame me from falling asleep after two nights of doing nothing but watching Kagami."
"I'm also at my limit." Kuroko said. The screen showed the rest of Seirin members are also sleeping.
"I guess it's pretty late." Riko said. "You must be hungry. I'll go make some food."
The idea of Riko's cooking immediately made everyone wake up.
"Is her cooking that bad?" Everyone asked Seirin. "She and Momoi-san have the same cooking level." Kuroko told them. It was the most polite thing he could think of. Those that have experience Momoi's cooking, immediately paled. Everyone else was confused.
"No, it's alright." Hyuga said. "I'll head over to the convenience store and get something. And...Nigou wants to go out too, so perfect timing."
"Quick thinking Hyuga." His teammates said.
"Kagami, study Japanese." Hyuga said.
"Ok." Kagami said sleepily.
"Let's go, Nigou." Hyuga said.
"Arf" Nigou said.
Nigou had fallen asleep, so he didn't respond.
"What's with him?" Riko said.
After some time, Izuki opened the curtains. "It's already morning." Izuki said. "We have three hours until the tests."
"Yeah." Riko said. "I wanted him to try some of last years problem."
"How is it?" Izuki asked.
"Not good." Riko said. "We still have one more subject and his Japanese hasn't improved at all."
"I'm sorry." Kuroko said. "But I can't do much anymore."
"Alright, let's sacrifice Japanese." Riko said.
"All that hard work…" Kuroko said woefully.
"All the tests are multiple choice with four answers." Riko said. "You should be able to get 25% if you choose randomly."
"I'm back with snacks." Hyuga said. "Where is Kagami?"
"Didn't he say he was going to the bathroom?" Riko said.
"I passed by and I didn't see any lights on." Hyuga said.
Hyuga hit Kagami on the head. "That is for lying to us." Kagami rubbed his head. "Sorry."
"Wait does that mean…?" Tsuchida said.
"He fled!?" Seirin yelled out in horror.
"Where did he go?" Moriyama asked. "Guess." Seirin said. "Because your first guess is probably the right one." Hyuga said. Wakamatsu blinked. "Don't tell me…" He said. "A basketball court!?"
"Yep." Seirin replied.
Amongst the commotion Koganei woke up. "Is it my time to shine?" He asked.
Everyone gave Koganei a blank look.
"You're the reason why this happened!" Riko told him.
"Alright, let's go Nigou." Koganei said. "Lead us to Kagami."
"Arf."
"All hands move out." Koganei said. Everyone quickly left the room.
"Well aren't you having fun…" Riko sighed.
Seirin shrugged while some people snorted.
Seirin followed Nigou's lead which lead to...a street basketball court.
"Why that little…" Hyuga said. "How many times do we have to tell him, he won't be able to play if he fails his tests."
"I guess he is a Bakagami till the end…" Riko said.
"No, wait a second." Kuroko said. "He is saying something."
Turns out Kagami was studying while playing basketball.
Kagami turned and noticed his teammates. "What the heck are you doing?" Hyuga asked. Meanwhile, Nigou went up to the basketball and started playing with it.
"Your dog really loves basketball." Takao told Kuroko. Kuroko gave a fond smile.
"Is that your own method of studying, Kagami-kun?" Kuroko asked.
"I thought I would remember better, if I played basketball." Kagami said.
"Alright then, it's last minute cramming." Koganei said. "Let's do this!"
"Is it really going to help?" Akashi asked
"Nice." Kagami said.
"Kagami-kun, your legs!" Riko said.
"Didn't you get injured during the match against Shutoku!?" Hyuga yelled at him.
"I forgot." Kagami said.
"How can someone forget they are inured?" Wei Lui asked. "It's Taiga." Himuro told his teammate.
"Change of plans." Kagami said. "I'll just move the ball around my body."
Finally after the last minute study session, it was time for the test. 'The training was useless.' Kagami thought. He read one the question and thought. 'How the hell should I know!? If we knew how other people felt, we wouldn't have wars!"
Everyone laughed. "A surprisingly deep thought from a very dumb moment." Akashi said with a amused smile.
Meanwhile in Shutoku, Midorima was looking over his answers. 'Normally, the answer is 3, but the last five answers were also 3.'
"Apparently, teachers do that when they are bored and want to mess with the students." Himuro said. 'Evil teachers.' Almost everyone thought.
'This is too much of a coincidence.' Midorima opened his pencil case to get his lucky pencil to check his answers. Instead he found a note written by Takao saying he borrowed Midorima's pencil for a bit. 'Takao!' Midorima mentally raged.
Everyone howled in laughter except for Midorima. "That's almost as funny as Kurokocchi stealing Midorimacchi's lucky item." Kise said with laughter. "You stole Shin-chan's lucky item!?" Takao asked Kuroko as him and his seniors looked at Kuroko in amazement. "It's a long story." Kuroko said.*
The screen changed to Seirin. "Kagami-kun, did you…?" Kuroko asked
"Shut up!" Kagami said. Turns out, he used the pencil for every last question.
The next day, everyone in Serin's basketball club ran to Kuroko's classroom.
"Kagami, how did you do in the test?" Hyuga asked.
Kagami grimly showed his paper. Turns out he placed 90 out 308!
Everyone that didn't know, had their jaws wide opened his shock. "How!?" They all asked. "Pencil." Kuroko said. "Pencil!?" Miyaji said. "As in Midorima's pencil!?"
Everyone was naturally shocked. "No way!" Riko said. "How!?"
"Forget the bottom, he's at the top." Izuki said.
"98 in Japanese!?" Koganei said.
"How did you do that?" Tsuchida asked.
"I just rolled a pencil." Kagami said.
"What is this?" Tsuchida asked
"It's Midorima-kun's special pencil." Kuroko said.
"You got 98 with this!?" Tsuchida said. "Midorima's scary!"
Everyone agreed with Tsuchida. "Where the hell did you get that?" Otsubo asked Midorima. "I made it." Midorima said. "You...what!?" Some people asked. "I made it." Midorima said again. 'What a scary dude!' Almost everyone thought.
Nonetheless, everyone was happy with result...except for two people. Hyuga was devastated because his rank was lower than Kagami while Kagami was devastated because he had to rely on Midorima.
Everyone had a blank look on their face while both Kagami and Hyuga were in despair from the memory.
"What is wrong with you all?" Riko asked.
"Leave them be." Kuroko said. "Even they have pride as men."
"Boys are such a pain." Riko said.
Momoi agreed while the boys huffed.
The episode ended with both boys yelling in despair.
This caused almost everyone to laugh.
The screen went black. It turned back on with a sign that said Character Segment**.
"What?" Everyone asked. "Apparently, this segment will show on of our profiles and some trivia about us." Momoi said. Everyone blinked. "Why!?" They asked. Momoi shrugged. "Aren't you curious in learning things about your opponent/ teammate that you didn't know" She asked. Truth be told, everyone was curious. "Wonder who is first?" Takao said.
It showed a picture of Kuroko. Beside his picture, was his basic profile:
"Why am I not surprised?" Kuroko said with a sigh.

"How are you 57 kg, with the amount of food you eat?" Kagami asked Kuroko. Kuroko shrugged.

**All info is cannon but I will not add every single information. Now who do you want in the next character segment? Should we start if off with Seirin or should we start with the Kiseki no Sedai? I'll create a poll for you to vote in.
Finally done! You might have noticed a bit of rushing towards the end, for that I apologize. It took me so long because school started and I have midterms.
