Rumor has it that every three years, seven girls at Chiba Municipal Soubu High School become witches. And without exception, they all vanish completely from the world on graduation day. No one remembers them, and no written record remains. Ichinose Shinichi has always scoffed at these unfounded school ghost stories, until—Eri, Yukinoshita, Kato Megumi, and other "wives" tearfully pleaded with him: "Please, please find a way to break the witch's curse!!" Incidentally, the ghost stories always mention that these witches are basically masters of juicing. Ichinose: Hmm, I bet their freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices would be delicious.

The small white balls flew towards me like sharp arrows.

On the strike zone, the boy raised his bat high, facing the flying baseball, and whizzed out.

This is the story of a baseball boy chasing his dream of Koshien!

This is also the story of a relief pitcher who welcomes a new student in high school!

After many years, he meets Yukino Yukinoshita again, and she is still the same aloof and perfect genius girl in his memory.

"Under the snow, you are still the same as before, unchanged."

Ms. Hiratsuka looked at us with satisfaction: "Since you have such a good understanding, the Service Club is now in your hands."

None of us dared to tell the teacher that what we called tacit understanding was actually an unspoken regret from eight years ago.

Just as I decided to escape completely this time, a long-lost voice suddenly rang in my mind—

"A turning point in fate has been detected. [Options] are now activated again."

Every time I watch Slam Dunk, I see a guy who hasn't played for two years, but can still burst into amazing performances against top teams like Shoyo and Sanno, pulling the team out of the abyss time and time again.

At that time, I always wondered how strong Mitsui would be if it didn’t have a two-year gap?

And now, a basketball enthusiast from later generations travels to the world of Slam Dunk and becomes Mitsui Hisashi. What kind of achievements will he achieve without the two-year blank period?
