Saturday finally arrived, bringing with it perfect weather to explore the outdoors. The sun cast a warm, golden glow over the landscape, and a gentle breeze rustled through the trees. The sky was a clear, brilliant blue, dotted with a few fluffy white clouds that drifted lazily. The vibrant colors of blooming flowers and lush greenery created an inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal day to venture out and enjoy the fresh air.

For one particular brunette, this day was especially significant. After being cooped up inside for three long days, he was finally being released from the hospital. Arion's excitement was palpable as he stepped outside, the cool breeze and warm sunlight greeting him like old friends. The crisp, fresh air filled his lungs, a stark contrast to the sterile atmosphere he had left behind. "At last," he breathed, a smile spreading across his face. "Freedom."

Hana, who had been his steadfast companion through this ordeal, trailed behind him, her presence a comforting constant. "Where do you want to go first, Arion?" she asked, her voice warm with understanding. "I know you're not ready to go back to the estate just yet."

Arion glanced back at her, his eyes sparkling with eagerness. "I'd like to pass by the Academy first. I've heard the renovations on the soccer league building are finally complete. I want to see it for myself."

Hana smiled at his eagerness, nodding in agreement. "Alright," she replied. "Let's go see how it turned out."

As if on cue, a sleek, black luxury car pulled up smoothly in front of them. The polished surface gleamed in the sunlight, and the vehicle exuded an air of understated elegance. The driver, Takashi, stepped out and walked around to open the door for them, bowing slightly in greeting.

"Welcome back, Arion," Takashi said, his voice respectful and warm.

Arion returned the gesture with a grateful smile. "Thank you, Takashi-san," he replied, stepping into the car. The plush interior was a welcome comfort after his hospital stay, and he sank into the seat with a sigh of contentment. Hana followed, settling beside him.

The car glided smoothly through the streets, offering a scenic view of the city bathed in sunlight. Arion watched the passing scenery with keen interest, feeling more alive with each passing moment with a renewed sense of appreciation for the world outside his temporary confinement. The buildings and parks blurred into a beautiful tapestry of urban life, filled with people enjoying the splendid weather.

The journey to Shizen Academy was short but filled with quiet anticipation. Hana and Arion chatted lightly about the renovations and what they might find. Later on, Arion can see the Academy from ahead. The campus was buzzing with activity as students prepared for the upcoming festival.

Takashi drives the car away from the entrance instead he goes to the back of the academy where there will be fewer students. In this situation less attraction the better for the well-being of the young master.

Arriving at the back entrance of the Academy, the sight of the newly renovated soccer league building drew his attention immediately. It stood proudly, its modern design blending seamlessly with the traditional architecture of the Academy.

Takashi brought the car to a smooth stop. Arion stepped out of the car with his head covered by the hoodie, he couldn't help but admire the improvements. The building looked impressive, with large windows that allowed natural light to flood the interiors and a sleek, inviting entrance.

"This looks amazing," Arion murmured, taking in the sight with wide eyes. The improvements were evident even from the outside—the building was not just an upgrade but a transformation, a symbol of progress and dedication. "I can't wait to see the inside."
