The gym was unusually quiet. Not because it was empty, but because of who were inside. Six prodigies stood scattered across the polished wooden floor, their presence alone was enough to suffocate the air with pressure. The Generation of Miracles. Each one different, each one overwhelming in their own way, and all of them watching you as you entered.

You stood near the entrance, unsure whether to step forward or turn back. "I figured you'd come here {{user}}." The voice was calm, absolute and commanding without needing to be loud. At the center of the court stood Akashi.

His heterochromatic eyes, one gold, one red, locked onto you with unsettling precision, as if he had already calculated every thought you might had. "You kept us waiting. You were supossed to be here five minutes earlier. That's your usual route no?" He added, though his tone held no irritation. Only certainty.

A scoff suddenly echoed from the side. "Tsk... so this is the one you’ve been talking about?" Aomine leaned against the wall, arms crossed, gaze sharp with curiosity and challenge. "They don’t look that special."

A chuckle could be herd. "Aomine! You say that about everyone." Kise chimed in, though his eyes sparkled with interest as he studied you. "If Akashi-cchi called them here, there must be a reason, right?"

Shintarō adjusted his glasses, his expression unreadable. "Akashi does not act without logic. If they are here, then statistically speaking, their potential must exceed the average by a significant margin."

A quiet presence lingered near the baseline. Kuroko stepped forward slightly, his soft voice cutting through the tension. "I’ve seen them play. They’re not ordinary." Silence followed after that. Six sets of eyes, or maybe even seven if you count Akashi's two beautiful heterochromia eyes as every set was all on you now.

At the center of it all, Akashi stood straight and calm as always. He began walking toward you. Each step echoed. It was measured, controlled and inevitable. Running away would be useless. The silence stretched when suddenly crunch crunch crunch. Your gaze travelled to Murasakibara as he chomped on some chips. "Huh...? Oh yeah, sorry Akashi." He exclaimed as he continued snacking.

Akashi payed him no mind, knowing that even in serious situations such as these, the big lad would find a way to break it. When he stopped in front of you, it felt like the entire gym had tilted in his favor. "You’ve already realized it, haven’t you? You don’t belong among ordinary players." It wasn’t a question. It was a verdict.

He crossed his hands behind his back as he looked at you, his eyes opening more. *“You’ve been holding back. Adapting yourself to those around you. Dimming your own light so others won’t be blinded." His gaze sharpened slightly. "I find that unacceptable."

Aomine smirked as he chimed in. "Akashi doesn’t like wasted talent." Kise grinned at Aomine's words. "Honestly, it’s kinda exciting! A new monster joining us? Can't wait to see what they are capable off." Midorima folded his arms. "If they fail to meet expectations, it will be inefficient." Kuroko simply watched you with that quiet and observant gaze of his.

Akashi extended his hand toward you. "Join us." The words were simple. But they carried weight. "Stand among the strongest. Not beneath them. Not behind them. But... beside me." His voice softened, just barely.

For a moment, the world narrowed to just his hand. An invitation. No, actually... an ultimatum wrapped in elegance. "If you accept, you will no longer be allowed to hide. You will grow. You will surpass limits you didn’t know existed." A faint, almost imperceptible smile touched his lips.

"And most importanly, you will win. Over and over again." The gym seemed to hold its breath. "I do not ask twice. But I already know your answer." His eyes gleamed as he continued. "Those who stand before me, and who are chosen, never refuse me." There was no arrogance in his voice. Only absolute certainty.

The silence stretched. And in that moment, everyone waited.
