In the world of Kuroko no Basket, many characters are portrayed as determined and relentlessly hardworking.
Yet, ultimately, the spotlight always falls on those flashy-haired prodigies.
Their overwhelming talent overshadows the efforts of everyone else.
But before Tendou Kageyoshi could beco the most popular character, he first needed to adjust to life at the café.
Early the next morning, Tendou officially began work.
The café owner mysteriously pulled out a uniform from sowhere, forced him into it, and imdiately put him on display—uh, to work!
Looking at his unusual attire, Tendou felt less like a waiter and more like a bartender.
"Mm, as expected, very handso!"
Admiring her handiwork, the owner proudly spun Tendou around a few tis.
"Perfect! Now get out there and start working!"
"Little Tendou, your job today is to learn coffee-making from !"
"Alright."
Tendou didn't mind this arrangent. Grinding coffee beans seed easier than waiting tables, anyway.
However, he quickly noticed the café owner's ulterior motives.
She wasn't actually teaching him coffee-making; she was clearly treating him like an ornant to attract custors.
Although she occasionally taught him coffee preparation, every movent and posture she made looked exaggerated, as if intentionally posing for effect.
"Boss, are we really making coffee here?"
"What else?"
"Is coffee really made like this? It doesn't look anything like on TV."
Currently, Tendou stood by a sunny window, smiling gently while holding a book in one hand and gently caressing coffee beans in the other.
"TV is all fake—what do those actors know about real coffee?" The owner casually glanced at the excited female custors snapping pictures and motioned for Tendou to maintain his pose.
Dammit!
Tendou wasn't stupid; he clearly saw through her shady intentions.
Sighing helplessly, he muttered to himself.
Life was truly hard.
Just this morning alone, he'd felt countless gazes assaulting him. Several custors had boldly approached him for his contact information, all of whom he'd rejected by claiming he didn't have a phone.
Because, after all, he really didn't.
"So many pretty girls, and not one caught your eye?" the boss teased.
"My dream lies among the stars and oceans. Won would only slow my blade," Tendou replied seriously.
"Blade? At your age, can you even unsheathe it properly?" The owner narrowed her eyes, deliberately looking down at his waist, completely flustering Tendou.
Older won were indeed terrifyingly bold drivers.
What to do when your female boss harasses you on your first day?
Very urgent advice needed!
In short, Tendou's life in this world officially began.
...
A few days later, in the afternoon.
Wearing his iconic sunglasses, Tendou Kageyoshi appeared at Teiko's basketball club.
Today, the Teiko basketball club was especially lively.
Many new students were joining today, making the atmosphere particularly festive.
Japanese schools heavily emphasized club activities, especially big-team sports like basketball, soccer, and baseball.
Teiko Middle School, in particular, was nationally famous for its basketball team.
Ever since Shirogane Kozo took over as head coach, Teiko swiftly beca a constant presence at national competitions. It was now undeniably the powerhouse of middle school basketball.
Thus, on the first day of school, countless students eagerly arrived to join the club.
As Tendou entered the gym, strange bullet comnts suddenly appeared before his eyes.
『Woohoo, new ani!』
『First!』
『Second!』
『Who's the protagonist?』
『The girl with pink hair is adorable!』
『That's my wife! Hands off!』
『Shut up, clearly my wife!』
The pink-haired girl ntioned was Momoi Satsuki, who walked in alongside Aomine Daiki.
Teiko's basketball club rarely had female managers, making Momoi's presence notably striking—though she wasn't officially the club manager yet.
For now, Tendou wasn't interested in the pink-haired girl; he was busy scanning the crowd for Kuroko.
Teiko basketball club's popularity was impressive, with dozens of new students joining. According to mories from the original story, at the peak of the Generation of Miracles' dominance, the club had over a hundred mbers—a ridiculously large number.
While not yet reaching that scale, conservatively, at least fifty newcors crowded the gym today.
"My popularity points are still zero. I have to do sothing."
"Speaking of which, where's the cara?"
As Tendou searched for Kuroko, a ghostly, quiet voice suddenly ca from behind.
"Um, excuse , could you step aside a bit?"
Step aside? Can't you go around?
Tendou turned, only to see soone had appeared silently behind him.
Holy crap!
He jumped in shock, feeling as startled as Dio realizing Jotaro had moved his finger slightly.
"You almost gave
a heart attack! Why'd you sneak up behind
like that?"
"...I'm sorry," the figure apologized gently yet awkwardly. "I've been standing here all along. You just didn't notice ."
"You've been here this whole ti?" Realizing exactly who this ghostly presence was, Tendou imdiately embraced his character and delivered a sharp retort. "What kind of weird setting is this? I've heard of people lacking presence, but you're basically invisible! Are we filming a movie here?"
『Hahaha! Aweso roast!』
『OMG, it's the white-haired guy!』
『Too bad it's a guy!』
『A guy next to you? Husband~』
『That guy must be Dio's reincarnation—the way he jumped just now was like my cat when startled! LOL!』
Ding~

As Tendou continued his sarcastic remarks, his popularity steadily rose alongside the barrage of comnts.
He began suspecting this wasn't the original Kuroko no Basket plot but rather sothing resembling a prequel or spin-off.
Perhaps the focus wasn't solely on Kuroko but on the entire Generation of Miracles.
"Hello, my na is Kuroko Tetsuya. I'm a first-year student. Please take care of ."
"Tendou Kageyoshi. Likewise."
After this codic interaction, the two officially beca acquainted.
Kuroko was a pure basketball enthusiast—soone who genuinely believed basketball should bring joy.
A sport ant purely for happiness.
