KOBAYASHI AOTORI slightly lowered his head, looking at the ointment handed over by Ushijima. He skillfully replaced the bandage on his hand, feeling the cool sensation burst forth at his heated joints. He took a deep breath and put on a new bandage.

His fingers in front of him were wrapped in bandages, slowly clenching into a fist. He silently watched the fist before him.

Suddenly, he exhaled a turbid breath, and the previously gloomy look in his eyes suddenly relaxed, a soft light flashed through his pupils.

—Kobayashi Aotori, on the Spring High court, felt a long-lost sense of ease and freedom.

Not far away, several people sitting and standing in relaxed postures exchanged knowing smiles. Tendou Satori and Semi Eita exchanged glances, both seeing the smile in each other's eyes.

"Oh my~ since it's like this, there's no way out, huh?"
