Entrance to the Inter-Galactic

by Lubljanka007

So what if Slam Dunk was a planet and its All Star Players were chosen to play in the Inter-Galactic Tournament, and had to take Entrance Requirement Examination to ensure they were fit mentally and physically to survive the journey into space? This is my first attempt at humour, and just a word of warning, no basketball games here as I am not good at that... *Completed*

4. Inkblot Test

9 a.m. the next day came the first test promptly, the Inkblot Test.

The Inkblot test is a psychological test used to examine the subject's personality characteristics and emotional functioning, and to detect any underlying thought disorder. It was something very critical if you were going to be put into a concealed, pressurized metal tube with a bunch of half-strangers (whom psychological state you do not know) and shot into space with no chance of escaping until your destination.

"Oh boy, I hope my boys can pass these tests…" thought Anzai-Sensei, he had the most problematic boys among them, times three.

When the guys all sat down at the examination center, each of them was given a piece of paper with number 1 to 30. At the front of the room was a screen, which flashed a number accompanied by a certain inkblot image. The participant had to write down what they thought they saw.

Sendoh showed up 9 minutes after the test had started and had to be given the instruction again, Coach Takota rolled his eyes and started the slide again.

He was probably not the only one who felt like strangling the Ryonan's Ace at that moment.

As various images of Inkblot appeared on the screen, Maki, Akagi, Fujima, Hanagata and Jin saw various things, butterfly, an old man, some flowers, beetle, fire, frog, forest, cat…

Mitsui, the ex-gangster, saw something violent and vulgar in each of the picture, a guy carrying three knives, the man being stabbed, a naked woman, Tetsuo without pants on…

Kiyota saw himself doing something extra-ordinary in each of the picture, himself dunking over Michael Jordan, himself handling the ball even octopus would envy, himself scoring 100 points while carrying Mickey…

Sakuragi thought all the pictures looked like Haruko admiring him doing various non-human activities, flying with a Superman cape while dunking, jumping to the height of the Tokyo Tower, flying over Mount Fuji with a cape with the wording "Tensai" on it, and Huroka's adoring eyes.

Rukawa only saw basketball in each and every one of them, he wrote them down one after another, but he fell asleep by picture 21, and his drool smeared some of his writings.

Sendoh saw an alternate of three things, fish that he had not caught before, lemon, and basketball. So he wrote those down: 1. Butterfly fish, 2. Lemon, 3. Basketball, 4. Fugu, 5. Lemon, 6. Basketball, 7. Tuna, 8. Lemon, 9. Basketball and so on...
