While facing Furuse Kakuzo, Ryu took his shirt out of his pants and unbuttoned all the buttons, he was only seen wearing a white tank top.

"Warm up first Ryu so that your body doesn't hurt all over, follow the movements I'm modeling" Furuse said as he put the basketball he was dribbling onto the court.

"Yes, furuse-san" Ryu pointed his folded hands up to stretch his muscles.

After doing all the warm-up movements, Ryu's body became somewhat refreshed, he rarely participated in sports classes at school and there weren't many sports that he participated in, doing this warm-up made him a little excited.

Furuse took a breath and passed the ball to Ryu. "You're the one with the starting ball, Ryu."

Yamaguchi Ryu, held the basketball in his hands with both hands and stared at the ball for a while. It was just.... what was this strange feeling, he seemed to find the spirit of the place he was in, his heart suddenly had a strong desire to continue playing the ball in his hands and his heart was beating faster than usual as if he found what he had been looking for. but he suppressed all that strong desire and sighed and then he dribbled the basketball in his hands to the outdoor court.

Dribble-Dribble-Dribble

Ryu dribbled the ball down the court, and the sound of the ball hitting the outdoor court could be heard.

He dribbled the ball with one hand, his right hand at first.

Furuse Kakuzo, who had seen Ryu dribble the ball, immediately set up a defensive pose with a slight hunch and spread his wings (both hands).

Ryu, who has seen Furuse's defensive pose, also dribbles the ball a little faster and bends and protects the ball.

When face to face with Furuse who is in a defensive pose in front of him, he looks around to find an opening.

Furuse's hand continuously poked towards the ball that was in the protection of Ryu's right hand, Ryu's eyes narrowed slightly as if to find an opening for him to break through to Furuse.

He then took off his defensive pose and faced Furuse without protecting the ball. Ryu stepped his right foot quickly towards Furuse's right, Furuse smiled as if he had guessed Ryu's movement, but...

As Furuse took a wide step towards Ryu as if predicting Ryu's movement, Ryu took a quick behind the back dribble and then the ball became in his left hand and immediately made a quick run after escaping Furuse's defensive position,

Furuse didn't let that happen and immediately ran after Ryu, he dashed towards the left, where Ryu was in front of him, but the change in situation caused his head to spin.

Ryu who saw Furuse running fast calculating him did not have the right strength to stop the fast speed, when he saw that the ball was already in Furuse's range and found an empty space, Ryu did a spin move to the right and succeeded in faking Furuse who was running fast.

Furuse at that point completely lost control of his body and stopped his run to look at Ryu who managed to fake him.

Ryu maintained his speed, made a beautiful lay-up, and then put in the point.

Furuse who saw Ryu's movement was stunned for a moment, he was angry in his heart, 'wtf, is it right for a person who has never played basketball to do all those moves in front of me, who often plays basketball and is even in the club, what kind of insult is this'

Furuse approached Ryu and said "wow Ryu, that was really cool. you really haven't played basketball before."

Ryu who took the ball under the court also thought about why he could do such smooth movements, it could not be denied that he had indeed been taught the technique by the school's general sports teacher, but what the hell was that smooth movement, he had never re-trained the movements taught and it happened very suddenly.

Ryu smiled at Furuse and smiled "Thank you Furuse-san, that was just luck".

Ryu lifted the ball in his hand and did a spin on his finger and said "Shall we continue?" he said taking a smile.

Furuse was still a bit annoyed and immediately took the ball and replied " should, I want to see if you'll hurt after I beat you" he turned around and took an attack position.

.......

.....

....

2 hours later.

The sound of heavy breathing could be clearly heard on the outdoor court.

There were two young men playing basketball until their shirts were soaked with sweat, it was Ryu and Furuse.

They continued playing for another 2 hours and it was already 4:30pm.

Ryu who was on defense bent down and lowered his head to exhale loudly.

Furuse, who was dribbling the ball, saw Ryu's movement and released the ball from his hand and immediately fell on his stomach and breathed heavily.

"Ryu, huh huh huh I huh can't believe you're actually playing basketball for the first time, what monster stamina do you have, even huh huh my breathing huh isn't as heavy as mine who often plays basketball" Furuse spoke while holding the tightness in his chest due to fatigue.

"hahaha, it's really my first time, maybe it's a gift?" Ryu spoke while smiling at Furuze.

"The game was very exciting Ryu, you're really weird, thanks for accompanying me to play basketball" Furuse raised his hand to shake hands with Ryu.

"You're welcome Furuse-san" Ryu shook Furuse's hand again and lifted Furuse to stand up.

After lifting Furuse up, Ryu stretched his body a bit and looked at the clock in his hand.

Bang!!!

Ryu's head was dizzy after looking at the time 16.35 in his hand, he was afraid of making his parents worried and getting scolded, he never came home until this late!

"It's already very late Furuse, I'm going home early. bye"

Ryu ran towards the bench and ran off the field quickly to go home and left Furuse with a strange expression on the field.

As he ran, Ryu's relief disappeared at the thought of what his parents would say when he got home, he was sure the phone notifications on his cell phone from his parents were numerous. only, damn!

Ryu thought of that bad incident and immediately increased the speed of running to get home.
