You’re pretty fired up today, huh Ace. This is the first time I see you take warming up so seriously.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
That’s ‘cause I heard they’ll be deciding players for the next tournament based on today’s practice match.
So I absolutely got to show off my good side to the coach today. I’m aiming to become a regular.
|
 Jamil
Jamil 
|
Well, it’s true that the basketball club works on a merit system, so it’s not impossible for a first-year to become a regular…… You’re a pretty straightforward guy, hm.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
So. Even during the next shooting drills… Huh? What’s all that commotion?
|
Heartslabyul Student
|
Hah, huff…. Just a short time-out, Floyd… How are you even winning in a three on one!
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Agaaain? Can you keep it up a little longer?~ It’s to practice stealing the ball, hmm.
|
Scarabia Student
|
I’m already at my limit just keeping up with your dribbling….
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Fii-ine, I’ll give you another handicap. I’ll no longer use my dominant hand, only my right hand from now on, so why don’t you try and take the ball?
|
Octavinelle Student
|
Damn it! If this keeps up, I might just commit a foul instead….!
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Hmm, to~oo bad. Hup, shoot!
|
Ah-!
|
*Bang… bounce bounce….*
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
You guys haven’t taken a single point from me yet. Can’t you try a little harder for me?
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
No way…. He just scored a 3-pointer with one hand.
Was Floyd-senpai always this good at basketball? How have I never noticed before?
|
 Jamil
Jamil 
|
Ah, about that…
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Hm-m? How come you’re looking this way Lil Crab. Did you want to play with me?
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
You’re super good at basketball, huh Floyd-senpai.
It’s pretty damn amazing the way you pulled through like it was nothing, even when you were marked by three people!
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
NHm, that’s about normal isn’t it? …. Oh, what do you think about this?
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Heh, show me, show me.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
I’ll show you, I’ll show you. Just shut up and watch, hm-
Some light dribbling and…… SLAM DUNK-! HAAH!
|
*CLANG !!!!*
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Woaah, scary-! It’s just not his height, he’s got incredible jumping power too?
|
 Jamil
Jamil 
|
It was as if he was looking into the goal post from above…… What kind of jumping ability is that?
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
It’s on par with a pro-league player. Aah-, I want to try dunking like that too-!
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Hm, of course, I like swimming, but you know I love running and jumping like this too.~
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Ah, right, hey senpai. How do you feel about being on the same team for today’s practice game?
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Together with Crabby? Hm, I don’t see any problem with it.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Aw yeah! It’s a promise, okay?
|
 Jamil
Jamil 
|
Ace. You’re planning to partner up with Floyd?
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Heh, were you planning on stopping me? Could it be you were aiming to partner up with Floyd too?
|
 Jamil
Jamil 
|
Not exactly…
… Well, it’s too bad, but it’s first-come, first-served. I’ll let you have it.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Thanks for giving me the win. I’ll show off my appeal to the coach perfectly!
If I can just show off my excellent support skills… There’s a real chance I might even make regulars.
|
 Jamil
Jamil 
|
Hm…
Welp, for the sake of the Ace’s overflowing motivation, let’s start today’s practice game.
|
*WHISTLE*
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Got the ball right away~. Floyd-senpai, pass!
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
…..
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Wa-, the pass just flew by you. Quickly, pick up the ball…
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Nah, I’m bored.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
……… what.
|
 Jamil

|
Here we go.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Hold on, Floyd-senpai. What about that godlike dribbling from before?
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Eeh~. That’s a pain.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Whaaat!?
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
I’m not in the mood for basketball now.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
No, no, no, hold up. You were enjoying yourself just a moment ago, right?
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Yeah. I already enjoyed playing, so I don’t feel like anymo~ore today.
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Don’t say such selfish things, what about that incredible slam dunk you were showing off before…
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
How noisy-. Ya feeling like getting squeezed?
|
 Ace
Ace 
|
Wa- He suddenly got scary… What’s up with this guy!?
|
 Jamil
Jamil 
|
It turned out the way I expected.
If it weren’t for those mood swings, Floyd would definitely be a regular…..
