"Not bad Ai-Chan, looks like caught onto some of Kuroos abilities. Your observation skill is quite good."

Ai-Chan and I sit on the outside step to the gym as I analyze her observation of Nekomas Captain.

"Thank you Senpai! If I didn't catch all of Nekomas Number ones ability's then I still have a ways to go right?" Ai-Chan tilts her head cutely looking at the notes in my hands.

"I'm not saying that's not true but I am saying only because you didn't catch on to all Kuroos abilities doesn't mean you didn't do a fantastic job. You see when it comes down to it not all their abilities come down to their athletic skill, a lot of the times or most of the times even it comes down to who they are as people. You can't notice that right away. I had been fortunate to meet these guys in my first year so I have gotten to know them as both my friends and competitors. They all have their unique way of playing, in my opinion that makes them truly incredible. Kuroo has killer game sense but there's others on that team who surpass him in such areas. Kenma Kozume is definitely a high contender when it comes to Game sense. You not catching onto all Kuroos abilities, is because you had only been observing one aspect of him. I'm sorry to say this is going to make it more difficult for you but I do think you have what it takes. You remind me of myself long ago. Your the ultimate Disciple."

Smiling softly my eyes still locked onto her paper infront of me. Ai-Chan however although taking everything I said into count had took one thing to heart. Suddenly I'm brought into a bone crushing hug.

"Desciple?! Waaaah I'm so touched Senpai!!!"

"Can't— breathe—" I squeak out

Ai-Chan releases me from her bone crushing grasp.

"Sorry! Sorry! Hey Senpai, after observing Kuroo-San I wondered will I be observing the rest of Nekoma?"

I blink twice at the girl

"Well I was gonna mention that actually because I want to show Coach Nekomata your observations on his players. What better feed back then the coach himself?"

Ai-chane nods

"Heh? Well that does make sense. In that case, which one am I observing next?"

"I gave away some of Kenmas abilities already but there's still more to him. So Kenma Kozume. Nekomas Setter, a Second year. He's adorable so he will catch your eye if he already hasn't."

"Oh-"

"Oya Oya? N/n, did I just hear you correctly?"

Before Ai-Chan could speak our conversation had been interrupted by a oversized black cat.

"What? Tetsu I'm not liking that tone Your using. "

Kuroos face tents pink from the use of his first name. Haven't called him by the nickname I gave him in a long time.

"W-well, I mean you know what! You called our Kenma Adorable."

My eyes widen, handing Ai-Chan the note book I fastly step closer to the smirking male.

"Don't you even think about it—"

"KENMA-SENPAI! THIS PRETTY MANAGER LADY SAID YOUR ADORABLE!"

I wince at the loudness of this males voice.

"No worries, Lev has it covered."
Kuroo points to the giant standing behind him. Kenma stands on the court flustered and quickly scurries away.

"HOLY NUTT BALLS YOUR SO TALL!"

My dear desiple yells from behind me pointing to this Lev guy.

Oh.. dear.. Ai-Chan..
