《Slipping Away (KnB fanfiction)》Chapter 28 : Resolve

The six of them are already taken their seat at the exclusive seats. Hmm..of course that Akashi's doing. He is the one who booking the seats with the only aim that they could watch the match clearly, this is the big day for Kuroko. So why not?
"They already in line!" Kise announces.
"Who will crush who?" Murasakibara says as he is holding two bunch of popcorns.
"Woah.. what with those popcorns? What are you thinking are you watching? This is a match, not a movie!" Kagami complains.
"I'm hungry" simple answer from Murasakibara.
"Don't lie, we just ate before coming here and you're the one who ate most of the food." Murderous aura suddenly comes from Kagami as he says "including mine".
"Don't blame me, you're the one who late."
"I am not late. You're the one who too fast!"
"uno.. maybe you should slowing down your voice, Kagamichii" Kise nervously says.
Murasakibara let his tongue out, showing that at Kagami.
"..What...!"
"Silent" simple word from Akashi instantaneously give them to chill.
Silent engulf them. No one says anything. Because they know, fight against Akashi meaning danger.
"That's much better. Are you okay Kuroko-kun?" and... Akashi acts like nothing happens. The other sweat drops. Not Kuroko of course, he never scare of Akashi.
Inner Kuroko is smirking. "I'm good" Kuroko replies with the emotionless look.
"Good." Akashi turns his attention at the game back.
Ogiwara, who sit next to Kuroko, whispering. "How can you act like you're not scared of Akashi-kun?"
"I am not" bluntly Kuroko says.
"eh. You're not acting?" unconsciously Ogiwara says it out loud.
"Who is acting?" with a sweet smile Akashi utter that words. Akashi's seat is in the middle between them which at Kuroko's left. No wonder he could hear it clearly.
"No no. nothing" Ogiwara stutters

Kuroko giggles silently. Looking at their behaviour with dark Akashi is an interesting sight for him.
===============
The match is already in the third quarter. Touou leads the score with 70-65. Although Shutoku being left with 5 marks but they still not give up. Both school student's cheer look hyper up, giving their full support on their team.
"This is getting more and more exciting. Just look how both have them have improved from before. I want to fight them." Kagami says with eyes full excitement.
"I never know Midorimachi have a new technique." Kise comments.
"We never see him in ZONE right? Will he be in this time?" Kuroko says.
"Midochin will crush Minechin if that happen."Murasakiba answers.
"But Aomine in ZONE is awesome too. It's hard for me to beat him before. I don't think he will easily be defeated with that" Kagami says.
"But if you can throw a ball to the goal from the end of the line of opposite side without entering ZONE, it can be an easy win. If he enters, I can't imagine what he can do." Ogiwara gives his opinion.
"That's true. Midorima-kun always has the potential although it not too obvious like Aomine-kun" Akashi agrees.
"How about next time we play against each.."
"Kagamichii!"
Kagami excitedly gives his idea but stopping in middle by Kise's call. Kise looks at him like he is pleading for Kagami not continuing whatever he want to say. 'It's a taboo!' Kise thought.
Instantaneously all of them change their attention toward the smallest one among them, who is currently sitting in the wheelchair.
Kuroko looks at them back with a questioning look. "Why are you guys looking at me like that?"
Glad that he didn't hear what Kagami is going to say, all of them letting go the relief sigh.
"What are guys sighing at?" clueless Kuroko asks.

"no no. it's nothing. Let's continue watching the match!" Kise changes the topic.
"Yeah.." Kagami replies. He still feeling guilty for saying something that could change the mood of everybody, but since Kuroko didn't hear it, he feels so relief. Promising to himself never again say something like that.
"Okay," Kuroko says, not asking anything anymore.
.

'I know what you are going to say, Kagami-kun. And I know why they are acting like that'
'I will prove that I can play too' Kuroko thought to himself with burning fire in his eyes.
=======
"Wow! Shutoku win!" Ogiwara announces
"What a great match," Kuroko says.
"That how when Midochin in ZONE," Murasakibara says, clapping his hand.
"Why he didn't show to us before?!" Kise shouts, look like frustrating.
"He didn't reach the level yet before. Now he has" Akashi answers.
"You're right, Ogiwara. He in ZONE is amazing. Bakagami lost to him." Kagami comments.
"Don't ever underestimate someone" Ogiwara replies.
"Indeed. Everyone have their specialities'. We never know without them showing." Kuroko says.
"I am glad I'm joining this," Kagami says again.
"Me too." Kuroko agrees.
"Let's greet them!" Kise says as he gets up from his seat and goes to Kuroko, to push the wheelchair out of the stadium. The other follows.
=======
Both school's team walking exiting the player changing room. Midorima, Aomine and Momoi are walking together.
"That's awesome man. Why didn't you use before against Akashi?" Aomine asks.
"It's just developed now. Now I know how to enter ZONE. Thanks to my lucky item today." Midorima says as he shows his lucky item, a basketball keychain.
"That's cute! Buy to us too" Momoi approaches Midorima to hold the lucky item.
"No, don't touch. It will lose it charm."
"Mouuu.. you're mean to me" Momoi sulks.
"I will buy to you too."
"Really?"
"Yes, but not today. I will lose the lucky if I do so."
"Mouuu..you're mean again"
"Hahaha, you really taking seriously about the lucky items thing." Aomine laughs.
"Don't underestimate the power of Oha Asa horoscopes."
"Okay Okay," Aomine answers.
"Guys, look at there." Momoi points at the exit. There stood the other of Kiseki no Sedai together with Kagami and Ogiwara.
Momoi and Aomine run toward them while Midorima walks.
"Congratulation guys" Kuroko congratulates them with a smile.
"That was a great match!" Ogiwara says.
Aomine grins
"Thank you guys," Momoi says.
"Welcome to the ZONE, Midorimachii.." Kise says.
"Uhm." Simple answer there.
"What? That's my thanks!?" Kise wails.
They laugh at Kise's reaction.
"Let's go home now. The driver has wait for us" Akashi says.
"home? Are your driver is going to send each one of us to our home?"Aomine asks.
"It's our home! We live together now." Kise says.
"Really? I want to join then. I want to live with Tetsu-kun" Momoi excitedly says.
"You're welcome to" Akashi gives permission
"Yay! You too right, dai-chan?" Momoi asks.
"Of course. Why should I let go this chance!" Aomine grins.
"It will be wonderful," Kuroko comments with a happy smile.
"it will!" Aomine agrees.
"Let's go. I am tired and hungry" Midorima says as he leads the group.
"haha.. what a tsundare" Aomine comments.

Magic-Farming
A thought experiment gone out of control, inspired by kosnik4's popular story, Magic-Smithing. What would life be like for someone else who was transported to the world inside Magic-Smithing? Someone who wasn't as prone to encounter incresasingly dangerous people, whose life was a little less chaotic? What if this person was content with a simple life of farming? Tending to the plants, sowing seeds, and reaping a great harvest at the end of the year. Of course, he's also a data scientist, so he can't help but squeeze out the maximum possible efficiency of his time and the potential of his attributes. Who doesn't make excel spreadsheets in their spare time? This is a slightly more "Slice of Life" esque version of kosnik4's story. Hopefully lighthearted, funny, and as enjoyable to read as it is thinking of increasingly ridiculous skill progressions. Thanks to kosnik4 and Magic-Smithing for providing fertile grounds for creativity to thrive. NOTE: THIS IS A FAN FICTION, AND ALL INTELLECTUAL RIGHTS BELONG TO KOSNIK4. I'm a patron of his story, and love reading about what happens next in his story. I've tried my best to be as accurate to his canon science as possible, though it's not 100% feasible. Afterall, the story isn't even done yet! My plan for the releases is to release a single chapter a day until 3/7, and then release 4 chapters a week on M, W, F, & Sat. P.S. If anyone can figure out what the EXACT formula for Level XP is, I'd love to hear it. I'm starting to doubt my math and excel capabilities. I have an equation that is fairly accurate and stays close to his values, but not exactly the same.

Bitter
The story of a girl who finds her life is not what she wanted. So she gets another one. Schedule: Story has been completed. Book One is available free on Amazon and EPUB. Books Two to Five are out now. Final Book out soon. Chapters will be around 500-1000 words. This will not change so if you don't like reading very short chapters wait till the end of the week or even end of the month. This many chapters a week isn't easy to pull off so please bear that in mind. This is a VRMMORPG story, but the ones I've read tend to use VR as an excuse to get into a fantasy world and then don't really play up the game aspect other than pulling up a status screen every now and then. To me, MMOs are about more than the fantasy setting. Bugs, exploits, devs who don't understand their own game, OP classes, over the top nerfs, p2w, ridiculous RNG, cash shop fiasco, lockboxes, raging players, broken mechanics, limited bag space, tedious crafting and above all that, a company trying to squeeze money out if its playerbase while pretending they're just in the business of having fun. Of course, then there's the orcs and elves. This story is about finding yourself in a completely immersive fantasy game, but it's also about what a game like that would really be like.
