Chapter 5 Kuroko's Basketball Five

  Since that day when he found out about the rumors spreading through a gap in the door, Yuan had fully understood what rumors and following the crowd meant.

  "Big brother is good!" The green veins on Harada's forehead jumped up and down. Look, just said that a few blind ones came...

  Harada's face was clouded over and he ignored the greetings of several people who were quite polite.

  Don't ask him why he doesn't explain, do you think he hasn't tried?

  However, everyone agrees that this is an absolute provocation to Akatsuki, and it doesn't seem like they really want to put on a show. Although in fact it's not, but it's not meant to be provocative either.

  After experiencing countless times of painstaking explanations that only brought about countless sparkling eyes with the phrase "explanation is disguise, disguise is fact", a certain someone thoroughly gave up on explaining and turned to ignoring as a form of passive resistance.

  However... as the other male lead of the rumor, Akatsuki was quite calm and composed.

  Not only did he not take any measures against this rumor, but also did not utter any negative words about it, so in the eyes of the public, this was Akai's attitude of maintaining a consistent view with the masses.

  Because of Akashi's methods, everyone had already experienced them before. As soon as he made a move, it was a thunderous method that brought blood rain and stinky wind. Probably no one wanted to try it.

  If Akatsuki really intended to oppose them, do you think their skin would be itching for a fight?

  So, no matter what our classmate Yuantian says, everyone takes an attitude of ignoring him.

  Harada's first day of training was no different from the other members, new members always had to pick up balls or sweep the floor, it's a normal tradition.

  Harada couldn't be bothered to think about such things and was contentedly gazing out the window at the scenery, amusing himself.

  He closed his eyes and lay down on the table, and Hara had no choice but to fall asleep.

  As for Hara's behavior of sleeping openly in class, the teachers of each subject wanted to intervene, but they also heard that Hara seemed to dare to provoke Akashi as well. If they let Hara stand as punishment or something, who knows what would happen? So, the teachers seemed to have an unspoken agreement to turn a blind eye to Hara's behavior of sleeping openly in class.

  But... the sinister teachers are secretly laughing in their hearts, tomorrow is the mid-term exam, and the parents' meeting will also be held afterwards. It's impossible for Harada to do well on the exam if he doesn't listen in class, and when the time comes, he'll have to present a book to his parents himself, then there's no need to worry.

  That night, Haruta was bored and surprisingly heard Kuroko say that the training for that day had been cancelled because they had a mid-term exam the next day. Haruta nodded indifferently, "Oh."

  Seeing Kuroko's calm face, Murasakibara thought that Kuroko's grades were probably okay too. He had forgotten what Kuroko's grades were like.

  So, under Hei Zi's calm appearance, is there actually a nervous heart that nobody knows about?

  After returning home with Kuroko, Haruto slept for a long time in a good mood and went to school refreshed the next day.

  And with Harada's rest and improved mood, the mid-term exams that made test-takers wail in despair became even easier to get through.

  After the exam was over, everyone went out to celebrate the end of the exam. Hara seemed particularly calm and casually made up a reason to go home and sleep, ditching everyone.

  Then came the day of the distribution of grades, which was a disaster. The teachers were holding their grade reports with tears in their eyes and speaking eloquently, "Our school has always been known for its basketball civilization, but now, after Akatsuki, we have another student who can hold his own. Oh no, another genius."

  "This student's grades are the same as those of Akatsuki classmate in our school."

  "Haruta Ritsu classmate."

  The teachers were so excited that they made Hayata suspect that they would faint the next second, and after listening to their praise for him, they scolded others mercilessly.

  "You know, Yamada always sleeps in class every day, often walks out of it, and never listens to the lesson; while you guys are very serious and diligent in class, taking notes that fill up several notebooks."

  Harada's mouth twitched, "Teacher, are you mocking me? Are you mocking me?"

  "But——you all didn't even score as well as him, how can the teachers bear it?"

  To be honest, this is the key point.

  In short, a class meeting came to an end amidst the teachers' extremely indignant statements.

  But the classmates obviously didn't appreciate the teachers' good intentions, and the conclusion they drew from their narrow escape was: this guy is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, Yuan is a genius.

  As a result, the original Yuan Tian, who was unintentionally caught in the crossfire, raised his hands in surrender amidst the collective ridicule of the crowd. He obediently took out his wallet to treat his classmates to dinner, and in the midst of the whirlwind-like atmosphere, he was left bewildered and frustrated, and angrily flipped off the middle finger.

  My three months' worth of private savings are all gone.
