Despite taking a bit of time to appease my upset junior, we still managed to arrive on time at the venue just before the match started. Nonetheless, only two steps in, and the referee already did his first whistle, calling for the players from both teams for the tipoff.
There was a loud clamor within the audience as excitement flooded in, hyping the upcoming match.
Even though there was quite a distance to see them clearly down below, my eyes instantly locked into Satsuki. And that’s even when they’re all hunched down in a circle, doing their usual battlecry to further boost their morale.
When they finished with that and the girl straightened her back, Satsuki’s eyes also locked onto me as though I sent her a signal about where I was.
Our connection was amazing.
