In life, there were two common reasons why someone usually enjoyed something. One was that they could see their improvement from being bad to better progressively, and the other was that they excelled in that thing, feeling the admiration of others toward them. At least, that was what Yuki remembered people saying on television a few years ago.
At first, Yuki thought it was just an empty statement uttered by celebrities to gain more engagement. However, at this moment, he was forced to believe that theory as he basked in the praises from others, and he had to admit that he enjoyed the attention.
"Damn, Kobayashi! Are you a machine or what?" one of the players said, shaking his head in admiration.
"Hey, Yuki, this is clearly because of my training plan! Don't let your head get too big, okay?" Riku chimed in teasingly, a hint of pride in his eyes as he watched his friend become one of the best, even among the most talented players in the prefecture.
