The appearance of the system gave Hibari something to look forward to.
Unfortunately, it was a basketball system, not the billionaire tycoon system he wanted.
The system interface was simple and brutal.
When opened, it was just a card pool.
The cards inside contained all sorts of abilities.
If you could imagine it, it had it.
Lottery chances were tied to matches.
Win one match, get one draw.
As long as it was an official match, he could earn chances.
The moment Hibari saw the options for a single draw and a ten-pull, he felt something was wrong.
Wasn’t this the exact same routine as those money-trap mobile games from his previous life?
But when he saw abilities like “No-Rules Basketball,” “State of Selflessness,” and “Beyond Vision”…
His heart itched.
With abilities like those, even if he could not say he would punch Jordan and kick LeBron, making All-Star would not be too much to ask, right?
And so, Hibari decided he would start playing basketball today.
For most of the day, Hibari had been in an excited mood.
When God closed a window, sure enough, He opened a door.
As for why he had only been happy for most of the day, it was because Hibari discovered something while learning about basketball in this world.
In a youth sports magazine, he saw a list of well-known participating teams.
Among them, the four characters for “Teiko Middle School” were painfully eye-catching.
Unwilling to give up, he ran to the basketball club and asked around.
At last, his suspended heart died completely.
This really was the world of Kuroko’s Basketball.
Or perhaps that was not quite right.
It might be a combined world, considering even Yukino had appeared.
When Hibari thought of those basketball maniacs at Teiko with their rainbow-colored hair, he could not stay calm.
He felt that if he wanted to swagger through this world, he would at least need to draw a card like God of War Dongfang Xiang’s “Rising Dragon Never Regrets Cyclone Dunk.” “I’m here.
Since you walked me home, I’ll temporarily keep quiet about you calling Mother a tigress.” Yukino had arrived.
She turned around to say goodbye to Hibari.
“Mm.
Then I’ll head back.
Later.” “…Be…
be careful on your way home.” “What?” “Nothing!” Yukino flicked her twin tails and walked through the front door.
She covered her burning face.
Just one sentence of concern had made her body temperature rise.
She was completely unused to Hibari talking to her in that way.
Yukino felt irritated.
She did not like this feeling.
“What are you losing your mind over now?” Hibari shrugged, turned around, and went home.
Yukino had not started living independently, but Hibari had done so early.
Because of work, his parents had to travel constantly.
When he was in elementary school, the two of them had still been worried.
But after seeing that Hibari truly could take care of himself, they felt reassured.
Once he started middle school, they allowed him to live on his own.
Still, they sent Hibari to Chiba Prefecture so the elders in the family could help keep an eye on him.
“System loading complete.
Would you like to draw?” After Hibari returned home, Hibari No.
2, which had been pretending to be an ordinary bird all along, suddenly spoke in a bizarre human voice.
It was the system’s spirit.
“The system has successfully loaded.
You have automatically received ten lottery chances, including one guaranteed reward.” “Guaranteed gold?” “Not necessarily gold.” “Trash system.” “…” Hibari curled his lip.
Aside from drawing, it seemed he had no other path.
“Then draw.
Ten-pull!” The moment he confirmed the draw, the virtual prize pool began spinning.
First draw.
[Strength attribute +1 obtained] Second draw.
[Strength attribute +1 obtained] Third draw.
[Speed attribute +1 obtained] Why was it all attributes?
Hibari frowned.
Was this system going to follow a stats-build route?
There had always been a saying in the world of basketball.
If you run faster than others, grow taller than others, and are born stronger than others, then you are better than others.
That statement was not necessarily correct.
But in a sport like basketball, where physical contact mattered, a superhuman body was indeed very important.
On the fifth draw, there was finally a change.
[Pull-Up Three (Green) obtained] His first skill package.
[Rapid Dribble (Green) obtained] The sixth draw was another skill package, though the skill grade probably was not high.
In Hibari’s experience, green skill packages were usually quite ordinary.
After that came more attribute rewards.
Not until the ninth draw did the card pool finally flash with noble golden light.
Hibari quickly raised a hand to shield his eyes as endless golden light burst from the pool.
Immediately after, a vivid red that could not be ignored stabbed straight toward Hibari’s pupils.
A humanoid figure swung a full-power punch at him.
The realistic special effect scared Hibari so badly he fell backward.
[King Crimson (Gold) obtained] “What the hell?” Hibari climbed back up.
He did not even look at the tenth draw’s prize and hurried to inspect the ability.
[King Crimson] Ability Card Rating: Gold.
Card Ability: Time Erasure.
Skill: Time Erasure.
After activating this skill, the host may erase unnecessary actions completed within 0.5 seconds and jump directly to the next step.
(Note: Human ability has limits.
When using Time Erasure, do not casually challenge things you are incapable of completing.) “It really is Crimson King!” “Hiss.
What exactly does this ability mean?” “Does it mean that if I shoot and get blocked, I can erase that result and jump to the version where I used a fake to send the defender flying before breaking through?” Hibari was not too certain about the ability.
He had not tested it.
However.
He could be sure of one thing: any ability related to time and space could not possibly be weak.
“I’ll join the basketball club tomorrow and test it then.” Hibari felt his heartbeat accelerating.
If he was going to play basketball with monsters, he really did have to be more sinister than them.
Although it lacked the crucial prediction ability of Epitaph, King Crimson’s time erasure was already plenty insidious on its own.
“Generation of Miracles, here I come!” Hibari checked his gains.
His current skill cards were: [Pull-Up Three (Green), Rapid Dribble (Green), King Crimson (Gold)].
Three skills in total.
As for player attributes: Strength 80, Speed 72, Technique 65, Stamina 80, Mentality 70.
Overall attributes were divided into these five major categories.
If broken down into details, there were many more types.
Strength, for example, included core strength, waist and abdominal strength, control over shooting power, and so on.
Technique included basketball-related skills such as shooting, drives, layups, passing, and more.
Speed included sprint speed, jump speed, shooting speed, instant explosiveness, and the like.
Stamina was simple, but also extremely important.
It covered injury resistance, recovery speed after injury, and physical recovery speed.
As for the final Mentality category, Hibari read through it carefully.
It belonged to the basketball IQ type, including but not limited to tactical understanding, judgment of the situation, passing vision, and so on.
Not one of the five attributes was unimportant.
