T.N.: This chapter title humorously suggests a story about characters (referred to as "Bear Twos") embarking on a journey to find and learn from a master. The use of "熊二" (Bear Two) adds a playful tone, implying that the characters may not be the most skilled or serious, making their journey potentially comical or endearing. The term "拜师记" frames this journey as an important and memorable event.


—KOBAYASHI AOTORI'S MEMORIES—


Halfway through the extra training, Kuroo and the others were exhausted and out of breath. Kobayashi Aotori stood with one hand on his hip, watching the group, each standing sloppily, and at that moment, he began to miss his teammates from Shiratorizawa.

Whether forced or voluntary, even if their faces turned sour, Shirabu would always comply with his training schedule and intensity.

Of course, he wasn't a demon and would also allow appropriate rest.

The victory in the Interhigh League couldn't have been achieved without the increased physical fitness of the Shiratorizawa team. However, the noticeable improvement in everyone's abilities often led people to overlook these fundamental issues. Only the coaches and advisor teachers from each team could discern this.

So, with nothing better to do, Kobayashi Aotori decided to leave the gym and get some fresh air. Walking on the lawn under the night sky, Kobayashi Aotori breathed in the refreshing cool air, which was particularly cherished in the hot summer.

Suddenly, he heard rough voices from the adjacent gym. Curious, Kobayashi Aotori poked his head over and saw several burly men sitting around, panting heavily, with visible frustration and annoyance on their faces.

Hmm... They kind of look like a bunch of Xiong Er.

T.N.: Xiong Er is a bear from the Chinese cartoon "Boonie Bears: The Wild Life" so Aotori was basically thinking about how they look like a bunch of bears.

At that moment, Kobayashi Aotori didn't know why such strange thoughts emerged in his mind. As he was about to sneak away, one of the "Xiong Er," no, team members, suddenly extended his hand, pointing excitedly in the direction of the door:

"It's Aotori-kun!"

Kun?! I didn't expect your way of speaking to be so incongruous with your appearance!

Habitually making a mental quip, Kobayashi Aotori watched as the group of burly men instantly stood up. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain his actions, but then felt there was nothing to explain, so he remained silent for a moment.

The men on the other side looked at the suddenly appearing Kobayashi Aotori in surprise.

Kobayashi Aotori initially thought of fabricating a casual greeting to end this awkward encounter. However, not far away, a burly man with thick eyebrows asked gruffly:
