Soma ignored the red-haired senior words as he dragged Xiao Lian in his hand toward the empty arena. Xiao Lian, who felt the warmth in her hand, slightly clenched her connected hand and quietly followed Soma from behind. Once they arrived at the venue together, they ascended the stairs and stood on the deserted vast arena.
Slowly, he released his connected hands, which made Xiao Lian gasp in lonely sighs because of the sudden loss of the worm that enveloped her hands and also her heart. She lifted her gaze and found Soma with his calm face staring straight at her, which made her heart leap.
"Let's start the warm-up".
"...Un".
Soma separated himself from Xiao Lian. She felt slightly unwilling to separate from him, stirring her heart. Xiao Lian shook her head to eliminate the unnecessary emotion in her training time. She followed Soma's movement, twisting her joints to prevent injury.
