After acquiring new 'Slam Dunk Mobile Basketball Players,' Shigure Akito's stats were updated again, and he now understood the system's rules for attributes. 

In simple terms, 

When acquiring multiple 'Slam Dunk Mobile Basketball Players,' 

the highest value from each player's attributes is used for the corresponding stat. 

Thanks to this rule—and a bit of luck— 

the two players, Godai Tomokazu and Nobunaga Kiyota, who were part of the 'newbie welfare,' had attributes that perfectly complemented each other. Their strengths were so well-matched that they hardly overlapped, 

which brought Shigure Akito's stats to a very versatile level. 

While Akito was lost in thought due to the system, Nijimura, on the other hand, was walking off the court with a cold expression. 

Hearing the new recruits gossiping about him and another guy, 

Nijimura felt uncomfortable being the center of attention. 

At the same time, being compared to that other guy made him even more irritated. 

Though Nijimura wasn't interested in joining Teiko's basketball club, it wasn't because of basketball—it was more about that old man, Shirogane Kozo. 

In terms of basketball, 

honestly, not only his peers but even the so-called first-string players, 

Nijimura didn't think he would lose to them. 

"Wow, these two are way too strong…" 

"Even the senior players from the second team couldn't handle them. If that's the case, doesn't that mean they're strong enough to join the first team?" 

"That's true, but…" 

"First team evaluations can't be that simple, right? You can't just judge them based on 1v1 battles, can you?" 

"Their playstyles are so extreme. One is all about violent blocking and attacking the basket, the other is great at stealing and contesting shots, and his offense is all about three-pointers…" 

"I wonder who's stronger between them." 

This question wasn't just on the minds of the recruits and second-string players at the scene. 

The assistant coaches in charge of observation and records for Teiko were just as curious. But the decision would ultimately be up to Shirogane. 

"It feels like the second-string players haven't fully shown their strength yet. Should we bring in the first-string players? Shirogane, what do you think?" 

Shirogane shook his head, 

"At the first-string level, judging them by 1v1 is meaningless." 

"And isn't that a good thing?" 

Shirogane pointed to Nijimura, then to Akito. 

To find such raw talent is rare enough, 

but to find two of them unexpectedly like this? It's a surprise. 

Moments later, 

the new recruit testing continued. 

Suddenly, the first teacm coach Sanada, approached Akito. 

Akito's impression of this middle-aged man with glasses was mostly based on when he took over the role of coach after Shirogane fell ill, only to be overshadowed by Akashi Seijuro. 

That was also when the basketball philosophy of the Generation of Miracles began to change drastically. 

However, from the impression he gave just now, 

this guy was undoubtedly a tough, no-nonsense type. 

But when faced with the second personality of Akashi Seijuro and the exceptionally talented Generation of Miracles, it was clear he wasn't always able to be that hard. 

From the moment he allowed Aomine to skip training, 

it was obvious this guy didn't have what it took to be a coach. 

But what could he do? 

After all, he didn't have a color in his name. 

In Teiko, even being a coach requires a certain "color" in your name, even if it's just symbolic. 

Shigure Akito shook his head slightly, 

Sanada Naoto: "?" 

This Shigure Akito... 

What did that look of regret just now mean? 

Did I see it wrong? 

Sanada didn't dwell on it too much since he had something more important to say, 

"Shigure, you'll need to play another match..." 

"The next test is mainly to assess your qualification to join the first team." 

"Give it your all." 

Akito raised an eyebrow as he noticed that Shirogane was talking to Nijimura not far away. 

The latter. 

His expression first showed impatience. 

Then, it softened for a moment before he looked over at Akito. 

In that instant, 

Although Nijimura's expression didn't change, Akito could clearly sense a cold, almost predatory gleam in his eyes.
