The final round of the semi-finals and the closed training were held in this new new training center, which is remote and sparsely populated.

Aside from the training facilities and ubiquitous monitors, it's hard to spot the players or staff who are active, especially at night.

The few courts that were used as free practice were empty at the moment, only the incandescent lights hanging high in the corners were on, Sakurano slowed down her breathing and slowly ran around the fence of the court, and the figure in a black tracksuit looked slender and thin from afar.

She had been running for a long time, she closed her eyes and slowly adjusted her breathing in the constant speed of running, but there was a strange sound of "clang" in her ears.

Sakurano opened her eyes and looked at the lonely figure standing a few steps away from her in the corner of the side net, which was perfectly integrated into the blind corner of the light.

Because the gaze that stayed on her without any waves was too long, Sakurano thought about it, slowed down and stopped beside No. 1, panting slightly and smiling lightly.

"You, do you have something to do with me?"

"I'm here at the Ghost Skull's underground club."

No. 1 finally spoke, and it was a particularly crisp tone, like a mountain spring flowing through, clear, cool, and clean.

The eyes that were clear to the bottom and no one could see it finally fell on Sakura's body, and he was extremely focused.

"That day, you were funny."

"Oh? Is this a compliment. ”

Sakurano's eyebrows and eyes flickered, hiding the different color in her eyes when she heard "ghost skeleton", and she only smiled lightly, with a little laziness.

"Thank you."

"We could have played each other, but you lost."

No. 1's gaze was still fixed on Sakura's eyes that had changed a few times, and his clear voice was not rippling, but Sakurano was stunned in the few words he confided.

"You ......"

Without waiting for Sakurano to call out the name she had glanced at, Number 1 suddenly stepped forward and spoke categorically.

"So come on now."

"Why ......"

If you want to fight, you will have to meet in a few days, even if you are a militant, so why wait until now...... Sakurano looked around, the empty stadium, the dim night......

"You look ...... now Very interesting. ”

The sound of number 1 came from his ears again, and Sakurano lowered his head in accordance with the direction of his gaze, and saw a few imperceptible traces of mist on his fingertips curling out and dispersing in the light.

"It's like that day."

Sakurano knew he was referring to his own disintegration on the table at the ball club, but.

"Can you see that?"

She grabbed her fingers, the fugitive mist visible to no one but herself before it was fully formed.

Hearing her question, Number 1 was silent for a while, and after a while, he handed over a wooden racket for training that he had brought from the storage room.

"One ball."

He said that the clean tone was clear to the end.

"Play a ball. I'll tell you. ”

Sakurano looked at the color in those eyes that were extremely clear but could not be seen through, and her smile faded and she did not move.

The evening breeze blew, adding a touch of coolness to the silence that had paused between the two of them.

After a long time, Sakurano took the racket and turned and walked into the empty court.

She was also a little curious about Number One's strength, as he looked like the person she had caught a glimpse of that day...... Not really, which is why she didn't recognize him in the past few days.

Whether it is friend or foe, where it is sacred or demonic, always have to see.

But—

Twenty minutes later.

Sakurano held the ground with one hand, half-kneeling on the ground, a large amount of sweat running down her cheeks, swept by the evening breeze, and seeped into the cold of her heart and lungs.

She didn't expect it.

This will be the result.

No. 1 stood on the opposite side not far away, looking at the figure who was kneeling on the ground in embarrassment, and the whole body was uncontrollably escaping a hazy mist, still expressionless, but the clarity in his eyes had some inexplicable light and dark projections.

Sakurano endured the spasms of her whole body, and raised her eyes to look at the quietly standing figure opposite.

Out of fear, she didn't activate the ball in the brief encounter, and the number 1 didn't either.

In the large runs, her skills also consume more physical strength. But Rao was like this, she didn't expect that she would be so powerless.

What's even more terrifying is that Sakura clenched her teeth slightly, she always felt the power in her body...... It's surging with extra excitement...... Jumping outward aggressively, like a ...... Attracted by something.

Why...... She looked at the lonely figure on the other side who was slightly against the light, and the mist in her eyes sank because he ...... Yes.

"I can see it."

No. 1 slowly approached, his voice still so clear, with the coolness of the evening breeze.

"Why didn't you just use it?"

Sakura restrained the trembling of her body, and watched No. 1 actually walk in front of her and squat down, looking at her level, her eyes were as clear as a silhouette of others.

"Because, you can't do it yet."

Sakurano didn't say anything, unable to refute the assertion that there was no ripple in No. 1's crisp tone.

She could see that the interest of the person in front of her was indeed in the uncontrollable force in her body, even ...... She looked at the clear light in those eyes, and he ...... to them It's familiar.

"You're not as interesting as I thought."

He said with a blank face, indifferently watching Sakurano staring at him in embarrassment as the mist curled and imprisoned, and his tone was surprisingly pure and clean.

"It's a pity, a little."

"Yes."

Sakurano reluctantly hooked the corners of her lips, and there was a faint uncontrollable tremor in her pale voice.

"How...... Interesting. ”

"Hmmm......"

No. 1 groaned, and suddenly stepped forward, and the breaths of the two were entangled in a moment.

At close range, Sakurano could feel the almost weightlessness in the sudden acceleration of her heartbeat, and she curled her fingers slightly, looking at the transspiration mist in her eyes reflected in the clear eyes of the eyes that looked at each other.

"Probably, when you're not so embarrassed."

In the flat words, Sakura's pupils shrank, and her curled fingers loosened and clenched, and it took a while to calm down and laugh slowly.

"You...... Is it a 'ghost skeleton' person? ”

She paused, and then turned around at Number 1 to speak, with some hesitation.

"Sort of, sort of."

No. 1 didn't stop and walked out of the pitch without stopping.

"There are a lot of them, interesting people. Very good. ”

Where the light can't shine, those clear eyes slowly circulate around...... Strange ink, wisps of ...... Transpiration spreads.

"Embarrassed...... Tut. ”

Still half-kneeling on the ground, the wet hair stuck to Sakurano's face, the evening breeze blowing, and the cold to the bone.

She tried her best to restrain the trembling of her body in the cold of internal and external attacks, but her eyes were heavy and she didn't know what she was thinking, but the fog around her body finally slowly dissipated, and everything quietly disappeared as if it had never happened.

"Charlot......

The low muttering of herself flickered in the wind, and she still knelt there with her head down, hanging her head and hiding in the light.

"What are you doing here?"

A bright and arrogant voice broke through the cold defense line of the evening breeze and sounded abruptly in silence.

Sakura was stunned for a moment, turned her head, and saw a brightly colored voice leaning against the door of the stadium with her chest in her arms, her face was three points impatient, five points of doubt, and two points of ...... Hidden concerns.

"Run."

After a pause, Sakura Nai slowly stood up with her racket propped up, her sweaty back was half dry and half cool by the wind at the moment, so cold that she shivered unconsciously.

She turned around and walked to the door, the curvature of the corners of her lips was still shallow, but the indifference in her eyes had not yet faded, and she still felt a little cold when she looked closely.

"Yinyin, what about you, why did you come out at night?"

Before the sound came back from the familiar coldness, the smile of the person in front of him had returned to light, and even the color of his eyes was hidden in the smile...... No more noticeable.

Hearing Sakurano's question, Izuku's face stiffened for a moment, and then turned his head, and his arrogant voice was still a little unnatural.

"I, can't I take a walk?"

As he spoke, he turned around and made a gesture to leave.

"Yinyin."

"Huh? Do? ”

Hearing Sakurano call her, Izumi still didn't turn her head, but her steps slowed down.

"Do you still hate me?"

"Smack!"

The foot stopped, and the unintentional kicked stone rolled to the side of the road with a "gurgling", breaking the silence between the two under the wind.

Izumi subconsciously turned his head, facing Sakurano's calm and flat eyes under the dim light, and that familiar ...... rose in his heart inexplicably A feeling of blockage.

"Huh."

She chuckled briefly, her voice unconsciously condensed.

"The Lord doesn't hate you, and I have no reason to hate you."

She bit her lip, half laughing at herself...... Half stubbornly hooked the corners of his mouth.

"But I do resent you, and I won't forgive you."

Sakurano was not surprised to hear Izune's answer, she just pinched her fingers, which were still a little spasmodic and sore, and walked over to Izune's side and walked side by side with her.

"Is it because of him?"

Stunned for a moment, Izumi turned his head to look at the side face with a surprisingly calm face, and was silent for a long time, mixed with a soft helplessness and compromise in his arrogant eyes.

"Once, I thought it was."

"Ever?"

"You and his business have nothing to do with me."

Izumi didn't cooperate with her heart change process, she just pouted, and her face was full of the usual arrogance.

"Now, I just want to see you transform back into the one who deserves to be my eternal rival."

Izumi didn't look at Sakurano on the side, only raised his head, and through the few stars that were visible overhead, he looked at the memories that had been a long time away but had never faded.

"Stand on top and be a star."

"Stars ......"

Sakura was slightly stunned, she looked at the sound of raising her head, the hand holding her wrist tightened slightly, and for a while, a faint smile spread in her eyes.

Along the way, neither of them spoke again, but the silence was surprisingly gentle and beautiful.

Perhaps, we can't and won't go back to the way we used to be, complaining or nostalgia, or the relief that will eventually come, will not stop us from rushing to the pace of promises and dreams.

At the same time, day and night flipped, and the other side of the ocean.

"Hoo ......"

When the plane landed, Echizen walked out of the airport with the flow of people, looked at the people of different colors around him, pressed the brim of his hat, and walked towards the name tag with his name written on it.

But what he didn't know was that not long after he walked out of the airport, another sneaky figure also walked out and connected with the same person who was hiding.

"That kid didn't see it, did you?"

"No, absolutely not."

"Then, let's go! What a rub, stinky boy! ”

“…… It's you, okay! ”
