Momoi's Notes: Records on Yuu

The clamor of the Teikō gymnasium gradually subsided as the players departed, leaving only the sound of the cleaning lady's mop and the distant, sporadic dribbling of basketballs. Under the bright lights, in the center of the empty court, Momoi Satsuki sat alone by the sidelines. She didn't pack up and leave immediately as usual, but instead opened her thick, professional-grade record board that she had long carried with her.

Her gaze fell on the densely packed handwriting and diagrams on the latest page—a detailed record of the intense and spectacular one-on-one duel between Aomine Daiki and Bai Ze You that had just concluded. Her fingertips lightly brushed over the ink-still-warm notes, and her mind involuntarily replayed every breathtaking moment: Aomine's wild, storm-like offensive surges, and Bai Ze You's incredible defense and offense, shifting and evading at the very edge of his limits, like a white phantom…

Momoi took a deep breath and turned the record board to the section belonging to Bai Ze You. This section documented his journey from his enrollment at Teikō to the present, filled with "evidence" she had gathered as the manager, and more importantly, as someone who paid him special attention.

She picked up a sharply sharpened HB pencil, its tip hovering just above the paper, trembling slightly. Finally, she put it down. Instead of immediately recording data, she wrote a title at the top of the page in slightly rounded characters, different from her usual calm, analytical script:

"Subject: Bai Ze You (Shirasawa Yuu) – Codename: Mirage"

After finishing, her cheeks felt a little warm, but she forced herself to enter professional mode. She began to organize, categorizing the observations from the one-on-one match just now, as well as from previous practices and games, into the "database" she had established for Bai Ze You:

1. [Basic Physiological Data (Updated)]

Centered around exceptional body control (flexibility + balance), combined with exquisite ball handling, realistic feints, and outstanding finishing skills around the basket, forming a unique "Phantom" style. Unpredictable on offense, elusive on defense, adept at operating in tight spaces and off-balance situations.

As an organizer, sometimes leans too much towards individual solutions (needs better balance)

* Potential Rating: S (Highest Class). Unique and top-tier talent, technically well-rounded, mentally mature, and diligently trained. Possesses absolute potential to grow into a superstar capable of changing the game's landscape. The name "Seventh Miracle" is truly fitting.

When writing about the "Seventh Miracle" and "S-class potential," Momoi's pen paused. She looked up, as if she could see that white figure on the court, repeatedly defying limits. The image of Captain Nijimura patting Yuu's shoulder earlier, his determined gaze facing Aomine, and that breathtaking layup… all these scenes flashed clearly before her eyes.

Her gaze fell on the blank space at the edge of the record board. The little stick figure she had unconsciously drawn earlier that day – a simple sketch of someone shooting a fadeaway jumper in mid-air – was still quietly there. Momoi looked at the little figure, and an unconscious, gentle curve formed on her lips.

She picked up her pencil. Without adding any more data, she gently drew a small, simplified basketball next to the stick figure, and then, below the basketball, she wrote two small lines of text:

> "Observer's Subjective Notes:

> 'He's like light... creating the impossible on the court.'

> 'Heart rate... abnormal fluctuations observed multiple times during observation. Further analysis of the cause is required.'"

After writing the last line, Momoi's cheeks instantly turned crimson, like ripe apples. Acting like a thief, she quickly closed the record board, hugging it tightly to her chest as if to contain her heart, which was pounding uncontrollably within her chest.

The gymnasium lights shone quietly upon her, illuminating her flushed ear tips and the slight upward curve of her lips. The air seemed to still carry the scent of sweat from the intense competition, and a hint of… a sweet flutter, belonging only to a maiden's secret thoughts. The record about Bai Ze You was not just a cold collection of data and analysis, but a quietly growing, precious observation report called "liking." This report belonged only to Momoi Satsuki.
