Kuroko no Basket: Honored One

Chapter 515 217: The Fifth Dimension

This match was gradually evolving into a battle of the eyes.

Most of the main players were sketching out a blueprint, a script, in their own minds.

Perhaps in the future professional arena, such situations will become more and more frequent.

Therefore, Tendou had been working hard to master Metavision.

He understood very well that in this kind of match, the person who could see the furthest was the closest to victory and the most in control.

On the field.

Barou took the shot without hesitation.

This was Snuffy's game plan, and yet it wasn't.

According to Juventus's tactics, Snuffy passed the ball to Barou.

But how to execute this final shot was entirely up to Barou's own judgment.

A distance of 25 meters from the goal.

This was Barou's golden range.

But the moment he wound up his leg, Tendou slammed his shoulder heavily into him.

"You're still so lukewarm. No wonder you only got an offer of 100 million."

"My value is 15 times yours!"

BANG~

Barou was knocked off balance, and his kicking foot didn't even touch the ball.

"Bastard!" His Majesty the King was furious.

It was unclear whether he was angry because his shot was ruined, or because of the line, "My value is 15 times yours."

"You won't be able to turn Juventus into your kingdom like this, Barou," Snuffy also appeared, and while the two were dueling, he turned into a thief and stole the ball.

Zzzzt~

Tendou instantly let go of Barou, and a white light exploded from his eyes as he shot through the air in pursuit.

Before leaving, he patted Barou, giving his teammate a signal.

BANG!

Tendou quickly clashed with Snuffy again.

If Snuffy was playing Jiu-Jitsu, then Tendou was using pure power.

Snuffy was more experienced. He wanted to break into the Man City penalty area at once, so that Tendou would be hesitant and his actions less aggressive.

However, Tendou saw further than him, always keeping him outside the box.

Experience?

Tendou suddenly had an epiphany.

Recalling Blue Lock, whether it was Isagi's and Niko's Metavision or Barou's Predator's Eye, all of these players had been playing football since they were children.

All their thinking was based on their own understanding of football.

No, that's not right.

Before entering Blue Lock, Reo had only played football for half a year, only slightly longer than himself.

"No, this world has never been fair. There are always those geniuses who break people's perceptions. My direction is not wrong."

Tendou felt that he had found the key, because Reo was also a genius in the eyes of most people!

Metavision is not about literally seeing the future, but a simulation in the brain, a real-time calculation of collected information to derive a process and result.

Based on experience, the opponent's tactics, the player's style, etc., one obtains a deep-level mental simulation equivalent to predicting the future.

Once you understand one thing, you understand everything.

In an instant, the problem that had been troubling Tendou for a while was solved.

His vision began to change rapidly.

The view that the audience sees is the third dimension, but because it's a god's-eye view, they can see the situation more clearly than the players on the field.

And this was the vision that Isagi, Kaiser, and the others possessed before awakening Metavision: super-strong spatial awareness.

On top of that, the vision began to change, to become digitized. For example, Oliver Aiku, in the match against the Blue Lock team, had accurately calculated the success rate of defeating Itoshi Rin.

This is the fourth dimension. In this vision, the actions of opponents and teammates are read in advance by the player with Metavision.

And on an even higher level, only the player with Metavision is moving; their actions are based on reading the movements of the third-dimensional beings.

This is the fifth dimension, the vision that Tendou was now seeing.

Those fourth-dimensional guys who were still complacent, pre-judging their opponents' actions because they had seen through them—all of their moves were now seen through by Tendou.

Crack~

A crack appeared in Tendou's pupils, like streaks of lightning, splitting his pupils into 8 sections.

Snuffy felt a chill run down his spine. He glanced sideways and met Tendou's gem-like eyes, only now these eyes had cracks in them.

"Metavision?!"

He's mastered it.

Snuffy turned to shield the ball from Tendou and at the same time, tapped it back to Barou behind him.

This was an action he had calculated in advance, with a high probability of scoring.

But now, he had no confidence.

What kind of world would a guy who could already observe the 4th dimension see after awakening Metavision?

The answer was revealed immediately.

The moment Snuffy passed the ball, Tendou immediately abandoned him and charged forward.

But his target was not Barou, because he had already given his teammate a signal.

Agi, who had noticed Tendou's small gesture, immediately intercepted Snuffy's pass to Barou.

And at this moment.

Zzzzt~

A silver-white flash of lightning streaked past him. When Agi looked up, Tendou had already charged forward like a bolt of lightning.

Seeing this, Agi decisively kicked a high ball, aiming for the space in front of Tendou.

But Tendou, having entered the Zone, had more than a simple 10% increase in speed. The pass was still too short.

Niko saw his chance and decisively went for a slide tackle.

His Metavision saw it clearly. As long as Tendou slowed down to control the ball, he would most likely be stopped.

But Tendou.

Facing Niko's high-speed slide tackle, he lightly jumped to avoid it, and at the same time, his heel tapped the falling ball.

The ball immediately changed its trajectory, looping around to Tendou's left side, and passed Niko along with Tendou's body.

"What?!" Niko's pupils under his bangs widened in shock.

However, by the time he got up, the landed Tendou had accelerated again, leaving a trail of lightning as he strode past the midfield like a meteor and charged into the heart of Juventus's territory.

Next was Lorenzo.

He was fast, with even better defensive awareness, but what awaited him was just a burst of speed.

This time, Tendou didn't even use the time-lag illusion trick.

Just a simple flick of the ball and a change of direction, and he was completely past him.

"He caught the brief moment when I stopped and my center of gravity was unstable."

The moment a top player stops is very brief, let alone for those like Snuffy and Lorenzo who practice Jiu-Jitsu.

But Tendou had caught it and used it perfectly.

"The success rate of defeating him... 0%!"

Oliver Aiku's Metavision calculated the success rate of defeating his opponent.

But at this moment, in his vision, the possibility of defeating Tendou had vanished.

"It's not over yet, genius."

While Tendou was on his rampage, Snuffy had used the time he wasted bullying the kids to catch up.

If the success rate of Aiku and Lorenzo alone stopping Tendou was 0%, then with the addition of Snuffy, their success rate of stopping this beast had reached 50%. It was worth a shot!

However.

BANG!

Just as Snuffy approached, Aiku moved to meet him, and Lorenzo had just turned.

Before they could make their next move, Tendou had already sent the ball out.

It was a very strange feeling.

In his vision, countless possibilities were converging.

And this pass of his pierced through the intersection of all their possibilities.

The ball left the ground and shot out like a cannonball. Snuffy stuck out his leg, a step too slow; the ball was already in the air.

Aiku stuck out his leg to intercept, a step too slow; as he extended his leg, the ball had already passed behind him.

The smallest miss is as good as a mile. Snuffy and the others were always one step behind Tendou!

Swoosh! The ball flew through the air like a cloud-piercing arrow.

The iron-clad defense of Juventus was shattered!
