Time flies.
Nine years later.
Since that day, Jack Carter's family and Kara Smith's family moved to Hokkaido together.
This move took nine years.
Today.
A plane landed at Kanagawa Airport.
Soon, a boy and a girl walked out of the airport together.
The young man has a handsome face, a straight nose, clear facial contours, and strong lines, giving an impression of determination.
The most eye-catching features are his deep blue eyes and fluffy blue short hair, which always give a sense of casualness and uninhibited confidence.
On the surface, he looked listless and lazy.
But when his eyes swept over, the innate sense of wild oppression spread out like a substance, like a sleeping beast, which made people dare not approach, yet they couldn't help being fascinated by it.
He just stood there, as if out of tune with the world around him, yet exuding a unique charm, becoming one of the focal points of the entire scene.
Another focal point is the girl standing next to the young man.
The girl is wearing a pink T-shirt and a pair of blue tight jeans. The combination of the pink quietness and the blue vitality creates a youthful atmosphere unique to this age.
Her exposed skin was fair and smooth, just like the finest mutton-fat jade. Under the caress of the sunlight, it seemed as if covered with a layer of gauze, emitting a soft halo.
Her long black hair fell behind her head like a waterfall, and under the sunlight, it could faintly shine with a strange purple glow.
The most enchanting feature is her pair of gem-like black and purple eyes. Every moment her eyes move, they exude a charming allure. Anyone who looks at them would be instantly captivated and unable to extricate themselves.
This scene attracted the attention of many onlookers.
The young man and woman were Jack Carter and Kara Smith, who returned from Hokkaido after nine years.
During these nine years, the two of them have completely changed their appearance.
The childishness of childhood is gone, replaced by the perseverance and maturity that is gradually revealed under the passage of time.
"I'm finally back." Kara Smith said with some emotion as she smelled the familiar scent of Kanagawa.
Jack Carter also had a faint smile on his face.
He has been certain of one thing during these nine years.
He consulted a lot of information and finally determined the world he was in.
He bought many basketball-related magazines and newspapers and looked up many names he remembered.
Mitsuyoshi Anzai, Riki Takato, Moichi Taoka...
There are also some high schools in Kanagawa.
Shohoku, Ryonan, Shoyo, Kainan...
All of these are characters and schools from "Slam Dunk."
At this point, Jack Carter finally confirmed that he was in the world of "Slam Dunk."
During the nine years in Hokkaido, Jack Carter did not join the basketball clubs in elementary and junior high school.
The reason is very simple.
Because when he was in elementary school, he wanted to join the basketball club.
However, when taking the entrance test, he showed his strength and defeated all the opposing players in a 1V5 match.
The test hadn't ended yet when the five players on the opposing team started crying and wailing, disturbing the entire basketball arena.
Jack Carter really couldn't stand that kind of environment and decisively gave up joining the club.
But he didn't give up basketball; he just changed his approach.
During these nine years, Jack Carter often played on baseball fields in Hokkaido and competed with all kinds of people, regardless of age, and always won in the end.
At the same time, with the training and growth of each game, the integration progress of the Aomine Daiki character template also rose rapidly.
**[Name: Jack Carter]**
**Age: 16**
**[Height: 192 cm]**
**[Weight: 85 kg]**
**[Character template: Aomine Daiki (99%)]**
**[Talented Abilities: Super-Speed Dribbling (Awakened), Formless Shot (Awakened)]**
**[Wildness: Black Panther (Awakened)]**
**[Zone (Semi-Awakening)]**
It can be said that Jack Carter is now basically Aomine Daiki himself.
Jack Carter, like Aomine Daiki, also blossomed in the second year of junior high school.
I just don't know why, the progress stopped growing after reaching 99%.
He also had some guesses.
When the progress reaches 100%, you should be able to enter the Zone at will.
But he tried many methods for this step, but all ended in failure.
"Ace, have you decided which high school to go to?" asked Kara Smith.
Jack Carter's eyes flashed with an imperceptible light, and he said, "Well! I decided to go to Shohoku High School."
"Huh?! Shohoku? Never heard of it." A thoughtful look appeared on Kara Smith's face.
Jack Carter replied, "It's a public school, it's quite old."
"Is that so?" Kara Smith thought for a moment, then said, "Then I'll choose the same high school as you. You're a mess in everything except basketball, and you can't live without someone to take care of you."
"Cut..."
Jack Carter snorted and said with a curled mouth, "Whatever you want!"
I chose Shohoku High School not because I wanted to reminisce about something, but simply because it is relatively familiar to me.
Of course, the most important point is that it is close to home!
Now Jack Carter's personality can be said to have completely inherited Aomine Daiki's.
Lazy, listless, and not interested in anything.
However, he was not so immature as to think that he was the only one who could defeat him.
Although he felt that this might be true, he instinctively resisted the idea in his heart.
Maybe this is why the progress has been stuck at 99%!
The next day.
In front of the gate of Shohoku High School.
There was a constant flow of people coming and going, men and women, all students wearing Shohoku High School uniforms.
"This is Shohoku High School! Although it looks a little old, it feels pretty good!" Kara Smith looked at the campus in front of her and nodded with satisfaction.
Jack Carter didn't say anything but walked straight into the school gate.
"Ace, wait for me!" When Kara Smith saw that Jack Carter didn't wait for her, she immediately trotted after him.
Jack Carter did not stop but said lazily, "Kara, you are too slow."
...
At the same time, in the classroom of Class 7, Grade 1 in the teaching building.
A red-haired boy was sitting in his seat, looking out the window listlessly, with an expression as if something outside the window hurt his heart.
Surrounding him were four strange-looking people.
The reason why they are said to be strange in appearance is that these four people have their own unique looks.
A short fat man with a big belly.
A slightly tall, thin man with yellow hair.
A mature-looking, middle-aged man with a mustache.
The last one looks relatively normal, with a handsome face and slicked-back hair.
The four of them surrounded the red-haired boy who was sitting there and started teasing him.
"Hey! Hanamichi Sakuragi, cheer up, there's nothing great about the basketball team."
"That's what I mean! You just got dumped 50 times, it's no big deal."
"Yes, that's right. We are in high school now. We can start over again!"
"I believe you will continue to break your records."
...
Ha ha ha ha…
Several people were joking around while scattering flowers, blowing trumpets, and holding banners.
I don't know how they got these things out.
The red-haired boy sitting in the middle, called Hanamichi Sakuragi, couldn't stand what these people said, so he stood up and hit all the people surrounding him with his head.
Bang…
Bang…
Bang…
Bang…
Four dull sounds were heard, and four people with white smoke and red spots on their foreheads appeared on the ground.
This scene happened to be seen by Jack Carter, who came to the classroom door.
Is this Hanamichi Sakuragi and the members of Sakuragi's Gang?
The fat guy with glasses must be Nozomi Takamiya.
What's the name of the blond guy? I think his name is Yuji.
There was also that guy who looked like an uncle, I forgot his name.
The last one is pretty good-looking, this one should be Yohei Mito.
Looking at the characters who seemed familiar to him in his memory, Jack Carter had an indescribable sense of weirdness.
As if sensing something, Hanamichi Sakuragi turned his gaze towards Jack Carter, who was standing at the door.
The two looked at each other from a distance, and it seemed as if a flash of lightning appeared out of nowhere between them and then intertwined with each other.
Hanamichi Sakuragi looked at Jack Carter with a bad face and said, "What are you looking at there? Do you want to fight?"
He sensed a deadly danger from Jack Carter.
This was something he had never felt before.
It was like there was a bloodthirsty beast in front of him that could take his life at any time.
Jack Carter ignored this guy.
He looked up at the class number.
He remembered that his class seemed to be Class 6, Grade 1, which happened to be the class next door.
"Ace..."
Just then, Kara Smith ran over, took Jack Carter's hand and said, "What are you doing standing here? Our class is in front."
Pulled by Kara Smith, Jack Carter also withdrew his gaze from Hanamichi Sakuragi and left.
Seeing Jack Carter being pulled away by a super cute girl, Hanamichi Sakuragi's eyes were filled with jealousy that was about to overflow.
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Damn it! Why do other people have such cute girls, but I am always rejected?"
"Hanamichi Sakuragi, calm down! That person just now is not simple." At this moment, Yohei Mito, who was lying on the ground, stood up and quickly stopped Hanamichi Sakuragi.
He also felt the deadly danger from Jack Carter.
He didn't want Hanamichi Sakuragi to get into trouble in a fit of anger.
