A day later, Yuki found himself back at the Tokyo Thunder's home court, ready to join the training session again. He didn't arrive late, but he was definitely not the first one to get there. Before he entered the building, the sounds of people chatting and the ball bouncing echoed throughout the facility. After dozing off for a moment, a person he recognized—the guy who had been responsible for testing him before he joined the club—suddenly approached him.
"So, you're finally good enough to join the training session, huh?" the boy asked.
"Oh, yeah. Sorry to disappoint you, Tondo-senpai," Yuki replied cheekily.
After staring at each other for a moment, they shared a similar grin before the older boy slapped Yuki's back hard. "You scare us all, Brat! When Riku said that you were the victim of the pharmacy explosion and had to be hospitalized, we wanted to visit you, but we were too late, and you had already been discharged."
