Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Mitsui's Encirclement

"Ace, maybe a new player will return to the team today!" On the way to the basketball hall, Kara Smith said to Jack Carter excitedly.

Jack Carter's half-closed eyes slightly opened, a hint of curiosity flashing across his face. "New team member?"

The figure who looked like Ryota Miyagi that he saw yesterday instantly popped up in his mind, and he asked tentatively, "Are you talking about the person who looks like Ryota Miyagi?"

"Huh? You actually knew that?" Kara Smith was surprised and thought to herself, *When did my childhood friend become so perceptive?*

Jack Carter curled his lips and looked unconcerned: "So, the person I saw yesterday was really him."

Kara Smith became curious and asked, "Strange, how do you know Ryota Miyagi?"

Jack Carter casually said: "I just happened to know it."

He couldn't possibly confess that he knew everything when he watched anime in his previous life.

If that were true, the girl would definitely drag him to the hospital, thinking that there was something wrong with his brain.

Kara Smith didn't insist on it, but instead recalled the information she had found, saying, "I looked up Ryota Miyagi. He used to be a point guard for the team and was very fast. Although he's not as fast as you, he's still outstanding among his peers."

Changing the subject, she sighed regretfully. "Alas... it's a pity that he is too short, otherwise, he would be a good assistant for you, Ace!"

"Tsk!" Jack Carter sneered nonchalantly, "I don't need anyone's help."

Just then, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

Jack Carter looked up and saw five rough-looking boys half-surrounding him and Kara Smith.

Kara Smith was frightened by this sudden situation and subconsciously leaned closely behind Jack Carter, her voice trembling: "Ace..."

Jack Carter calmly protected Kara Smith behind him and glanced indifferently at the group of uninvited guests in front of him.

He quickly recognized the leaders.

The guy with a buzz cut, an old-looking face, and a fierce look.

Jack Carter remembers his name is Norio Horita and he is a third grader.

The person standing to the right of Norio Horita is slightly fat, wears glasses, and has an arrogant look on his face.

Jack Carter also had an impression of this person, but he just couldn't remember his name.

He had no impression of the other two.

Jack Carter just glanced at these people quickly, and his eyes fell on the long-haired man in the middle.

Hisashi Mitsui.

He was a member of the Shohoku Basketball Team, the MVP in junior high school, and a well-known three-point shooter.

But later he suffered an accidental leg injury and has never recovered from his devastation ever since.

"Boy, you are from the basketball team, right?" Norio Horita spoke first, with a hint of provocation in his tone.

Jack Carter looked indifferent and responded: "Does it matter to you whether I am on the basketball team or not?"

"Boy, do you know who you are talking to?" the boy with glasses shouted angrily.

Jack Carter didn't take him seriously at all, and looked directly at Hisashi Mitsui, saying, "We probably don't know each other. I don't really like dealing with strangers. If you want to ask for directions, ask someone else. Please get out of the way."

"You little brat, are you looking for a beating?" the boy with glasses was furious again.

"You're really noisy." Jack Carter picked his ears, his face full of impatience, as if the people in front of him were just insignificant ants.

At this time, Hisashi Mitsui finally spoke: "You are a freshman this year! Since you are on the basketball team, you should know where Ryota Miyagi is?!"

"I don't know." Jack Carter interrupted him unceremoniously and said coldly, "If you want to find someone, go ask somewhere else."

Hisashi Mitsui's face darkened instantly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This year's first-year brats are really arrogant!"

Norio Horita also chimed in: "Looks like I need to teach you how to respect your seniors."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy with glasses and the other two, without saying a word, waved their fists and hit Jack Carter's face viciously.

"Ace..." Seeing this, Kara Smith was so nervous that her heart almost jumped into her throat.

"It's okay, just a few fleas." Jack Carter comforted softly.

In an instant, the aura around him changed drastically.

The original nonchalant, lazy, and casual look seemed to be swept away in an instant by a gust of fierce wind, and was replaced by a cold and murderous chill.

At this moment, he was like a predatory beast that had been dormant for a long time and was about to devour its prey. He exuded a terrifying and sharp aura that spread out in all directions like a surging tide, with him as the center.

Hisashi Mitsui and the others felt a chill down their spines, as if they were being stared at by a bloodthirsty beast, and it seemed that in the next second, their lives would disappear like a candle in the wind.

The three boys who rushed forward to beat Jack Carter froze in place the moment they felt this horrifying aura, as if they were cast under a spell.

They looked at Jack Carter with fear in their eyes, as if they had seen a ghost, and dared not take a step forward. Beads of sweat kept rolling down their foreheads and sliding down their cheeks.

Hisashi Mitsui also stared at Jack Carter in disbelief, his body trembling slightly uncontrollably.

Jack Carter didn't even look at them, took Kara Smith's hand, and walked calmly among the five people.

No one, including Hisashi Mitsui, dared to step forward to stop them.

Only when Jack Carter and Kara Smith disappeared into the distance did Hisashi Mitsui and the others feel relieved and breathe a sigh of relief.

Norio Horita said with lingering fear: "Who is that guy? He seems to be very difficult to deal with."

The boy with glasses swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling a little: "It's terrible, I really thought I was going to die just now."

At this moment, Hisashi Mitsui's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

He turned his head and stared at Jack Carter's gradually disappearing back, his teeth chattering, his eyes full of humiliation and hatred.

It was a great shame that he, a third-grade tough guy, was frightened by a first-grade kid and couldn't move.

"Damn it!" he cursed under his breath. "Basketball club..."

On the other side, Jack Carter, who had walked away, quickly returned to his lazy look.

Kara Smith also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with lingering fear: "I was scared to death, I thought you were going to fight them."

Jack Carter looked relaxed, as if everything that happened just now was just a trivial matter not worth mentioning: "Even if you fight, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"But what if you get hurt?" Kara Smith's face was full of worry.

Jack Carter waved his hand nonchalantly: "Those guys are not good enough."

"But it's really strange that you actually used that trick." Kara Smith said thoughtfully.

Jack Carter naturally understood what she was talking about, and said calmly: "I just think this saves trouble."

Kara Smith couldn't help but laugh and said, "I never thought that your trick could also be used to 'stop a fight'."

Jack Carter's mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly complained in his heart: "What the hell is this about trying to stop a fight? That's called deterrence, okay!"

Not wanting to bother with this girl with a wild imagination, the two of them quickly arrived at the door of the basketball hall.

As soon as they opened the door, Jack Carter and Kara Smith were stunned.

In the stadium, most people were standing on both sides of the court.

On the court, two people were lying on the ground in a very strange posture.

It was Hanamichi Sakuragi and Ryota Miyagi. Ryota Miyagi was on top of Hanamichi Sakuragi, holding each other's legs tightly with his hands.

Hanamichi Sakuragi stuck out his butt, arched his body forward, and stretched his arms out, trying to reach the basketball on the ground in front of him.

The actions of these two people are very funny and even a little suggestive.

This scene left Kara Smith stunned.

Jack Carter couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

What on earth are these two guys up to?

Kiminobu Kogure noticed Jack Carter and Kara Smith walking in and took the initiative to greet them: "You're here!"

"Kogure-senpai." Kara Smith responded politely, then asked with a puzzled look, "What happened here?"

"Uh... well, this is what you see," Kiminobu Kogure helplessly pointed at Ryota Miyagi and Hanamichi Sakuragi on the ground and explained, "That person is Ryota Miyagi. He was in the hospital before and didn't come to the basketball team training."

Ayako added: "He is also a problem student. You will have your hands full in the future."

At this time, Kaede Rukawa walked straight to Jack Carter holding a basketball and said lightly: "Let's play a game."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became much quieter.

Several first-year students couldn't help but worry about Kaede Rukawa.

The scene where Jack Carter brutally outplayed Kaede Rukawa last time is still lingering in their minds.

"Kaede Rukawa is really brave. If it were me, I would have given up long ago," Yamada Tadashi couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah." Toki Kuwata also nodded in agreement.

Jack Carter shrugged and walked towards the other side of the court. "I'm bored now anyway, so I'll play with you."

When everyone heard this, they instantly became interested.

The eyes of Ryota Miyagi and Hanamichi Sakuragi, who were originally paying attention to the fight on the ground, were now all focused on Jack Carter and Kaede Rukawa. They gathered to the half-court, looking forward to the start of this match.
