New Friends

Promise

When I was taking a shower, Ken knocked on the door.

Toph, Toph

- Kyo, can I ask you something?

- Yes, Ken.

Am I pooping?

- Don't you notice I'm taking a bath!?

He said that after I took a shower,

After I took a shower, I was going to have dinner at the university club cafeteria, so I was going to get changed.

I said, "Sure."

I took a shower, got changed, and went to the cafeteria.

At one table were Coach Mille and his coaching staff.

At the other table were my teammates, Captain Hamilton, Nero, and Bill.

Ken and I headed to the table where our teammates were.

On our way to the table, we passed the coach.

He smiled and said hello.

I said hello to him, feeling a bit embarrassed.

As we were talking about the seats, Nero asked me this.

Why did you decide to become a basketball player, and why did you start to like sports?

Why did you start to like sports?

- Nero, why did you start to like sports?

It's because I saw James play in the finals,

Because I saw that fierce battle and James' amazing play.

I decided to become a basketball player after seeing James' incredible play.

I approached James and told him I would beat him!

- What did he say?

What did he say?

I told Nero.

So I'm going to keep winning until I'm at the top.

I'm going to beat James and be on top.

Everyone was surprised, and Luci looked at me with a different smile than usual.

With a different smile than usual.

After dinner, Ken and I went to the dorms,

We were playing video games.

I was playing Fighter Hero 6, a popular fighting game.

- Please Kyo.

- I won't lose to Ken!

I beat Kyo.

Why do you want to play basketball?

He said he fell in love with basketball because he watched the same finals.

He said he fell in love with basketball because he watched the same finals I was watching, and saw King Tiger play with his stick, and saw the joy.

He said he fell in love with basketball.

Because he came from a poor family and had a lot of suffering.

Little.

He always wanted his family to be happy and wanted to help them.

But he was young and couldn't work to help them.

So after playing basketball, he realized he could do the best for his family.

For his family.

Ken said that sports are a gift God gave to give joy to those who need it.

Give joy to those who need it.

For God.

- So Kyo, if you want to be the best player in the world and surpass the legends.

If you want to be the best player in the world, if you want to surpass the legends,

I will be your right hand man,

But don't forget it's for Jesus.

But don't forget it's for Jesus.

He is the first place and the first person in our lives.

We will overcome everything.

- Yes, Ken God is our

Thank you!

When I was talking to Ken, I realized that I had found a great friend who would help me on my journey.

On this journey.

And I was happy with the way he showed me.

I was happy that he showed me how important God is in our lives.

Before going to bed, we prayed and went to sleep.

The next day, we went to training.

When we got on the court, coach Mille told us to run 60 laps,

And 400 shots, a couple and a free throw.

So we started training and did everything the coach told us to do.

We were told to rest a little, drink some water, and then do team training.

We did a 2-on-2 training session, one team left, and the winning team won.

When the winning team plays, the losing team plays the player who was on the outside.

Play on the side.

And if both lose, how will the loser choose?

The player who scored the most points from the losing team stays in the game, and the other one leaves the game.

The other one leaves.

The coach told me not to leave because I'm a rookie.

I agreed.

So Nero and Bill paired up with Ken and Hamilton.

Nero and Bill had a left-out.

Physical strength, incredible dribbling ability, and area bridge.

There was only one.

Captain and Ken led, showed great rebounds,

Also had the strength and attention to block at the right time.

I was excited to see Ken with his incredible speed, passing, and 3-point shots.

I was looking forward to playing.

The captain and Ken's team lost.

I played against him.

Ken and I played together for the first time.

So the ball started with us.

Outside the court, the captain asked me, "Kyo, can you play with Ken?

- Yes.

I said with a smile.

Nero came up to me and asked if I was that good.

Then Ken came up to me with the ball.

Then Ken came up to me with the ball.

Tough!! "!

- Oh my, I missed my marker.

- What's that speed?

Captain on the outside.

I asked Ken to pass it and he gave it to me.

- Thank you, Ken!

Then Bill tries to mark me.

- I can't pass him.

So I pretended to stop him and went to the other side and I got better.

I made a trey from the basket.

On the outside.

- Coach, this kid has potential.

Miyu was excited.

- Yes, Hemiton.

We kept playing and Nero came out with the ball.

I stole it.

- How?

I passed it to Ken and he did it.

Then I stole it again and pretended to throw it and Bill came.

Costa dribbled it to Ken and Ken passed it to him.

Costa dribbled it to Ken and Ken scored the third point.

We were leading and Nero fouled.

I missed both free throws.

Coach Mille knew about it when she told me to practice my shots,

She realized I was bad at shooting.

We beat Nero and Bill and we beat Bill and Hamilton.

After seeing our performance, coach Mille asked us to line up in front of her.

Line up in front of her.

She congratulated us and praised me.

She told me to practice 100 free throws.

Free throws can decide the game.

I agreed.

- Yes, coach

I'll do my best.

After the training, I asked if there were only five of us.

What about the other team?

Mille got angry and left.

I asked if I did something wrong.

Bill says I didn't do anything wrong, the coach hates to remember.

I asked.

- What?

A year ago, our team was in the top class.

Our amateur, called Shingo the White Wolf, played in the finals as our biggest rival.

Our team was tied, and Shingo was playing a lot, but he made a careless mistake and the team lost.

The coach told him to give up because he lost.

He said he did his best and that the last mistake was part of the game.

He didn't care and said he was leaving the team, and he got into an argument with the coach.

As a result, the other players also left the team.

Nero, Bill, the captain Hamilton, and Ken remained.

I felt sad when I heard that story, so I ran to Mille and apologized.

She said there was no need to apologize.

There was no need to apologize.

But at the same time, I said.

- Coach Mille, I'll bring Shingo and the others.

And together we'll become the best team in the university.

We'll become the best team in the university and the best team in the world!! ! ! !

She started crying.

- Thank you for your support, Kyo.
