KOBAYASHI AOTORI didn't forget the promise he made with a certain orange-haired individual. Therefore, he intended to finish today's training as quickly as possible. Throughout the entire morning, he was as energetic as if he had taken a stimulant.

Although this kind of thing was only a slight burden for him, it meant something completely different for his setter.

Without going into the details of what the other party was imagining, just the fierce and almost murderous look in his eyes made Semi Eita, who happened to be passing by, break out in a cold sweat.

And so, even after Kobayashi Aotori finished all his training for the day in the morning, the atmosphere in Shiratorizawa remained tense, so much so that even the usually talkative Goshiki Tsutomu fell silent.

Hmm? What's going on with everyone?

Ah, they must be focusing hard on their training.

Kobayashi Aotori blinked, realizing that there was nothing for him to do. After completing his training regimen, he greeted the advisor and left.


NOT LONG AFTER, Ushijima, who was resting off the court, didn't see Kobayashi Aotori's figure and looked at Ohira Reon next to him with confusion.

"Where's Aotori?"

Ohira Reon wiped away his sweat, "Ah, he finished his solo training and asked the coach for leave." After some thought, he added casually:

"Maybe he's resting? After all, it's the weekend."

"Impossible."

Shirabu Kenjirou spoke up quietly, his eyes unyielding.

"That guy relies on training to supplement his physiological functions. Preliminary speculation suggests that he might be a new species."

"We should report him to the authorities..."

"Don't give Aotori any more strange settings, Shirabu! Besides, he's our junior!!"

AT THIS MOMENT, Kobayashi Aotori was wearing a white shirt on the upper body, loose black trousers on the lower body, a pair of black sneakers on his feet, a baseball cap on his head, and his navy-blue hair tied into a small bun with a sunflower hair tie at the back, half of his face hidden behind the cap.

He was currently looking down at his phone, actually in the middle of a "date."

But it was a date with a man.

Looking at the various stickers sent by Hinata in their chat, and then at his own dry responses, hmm... he feels like he suddenly became unapproachable.
