章節 220: Heading Back

The morning sun rose slowly, casting golden hues over the quiet inn. The players of Seiryuu, Daikyo, Shinryu, and Tsubasa stirred from their rooms, the buzz of excitement from the previous night replaced by the bittersweet realization that their time at the training camp had come to an end. The week had been an intense mix of competition, camaraderie, and self-discovery, but as much as they had learned and grown, they knew the real challenges were still ahead.

Sota stood on the balcony outside his room, his duffle bag slung over one shoulder. Below him, the inn's staff bustled around, preparing breakfast for the teams before their departure. He inhaled deeply, savoring the crisp morning air one last time before turning back inside.

"You ready to head out?" Kaminari's voice came from the doorway. He leaned casually against the frame, his hair still a mess from sleep.

Sota nodded. "Yeah, though it feels weird to leave. This place started to feel like home."
