The Healing Journey

Shocking Revelation

After the one-week healing journey, Sig was ready to return to work, and Mostro Lounge reopened.

Days passed as normal, but big events begin to happen on several students...

The finals for the Basketball Summer Cup was being held, and the teams competing were NRC and RSA.

"Look! Viper from NRC had just passed the ball to Trappola! And despite being blocked by 'The Giant of RSA' Enders, he managed to pass the ball to Leech! And then...boom! Leech scored another point for NRC, and it was only a few minutes from the last dunk!" said the announcer.

All the students, along with Sig and Anna, are watching the match. 

"Don't you think NRC is performing better than their previous matches?" said Kalim.

"True, and today they're in the lead by a landslide!" said Riddle.

"Say, has NRC really never won against RSA?" asked Sig.

"Yes. Magift, basketball, volleyball, even at the track and field festival, RSA always beats NRC, but judging from the current situation, I guess NRC has turned their tables around," said Jade.

After half an hour, the match ended.

"Unbelievable! NRC gained their first victory in the Basketball Summer Cup with an impressive 101-40!" said the announcer. "They finally beat their biggest rival for the first time after 15 years!" said the announcer!

"NRC! NRC! NRC!" the NRC students shouted.

"Our first victory! High-five!" Ace, Jamil and Floyd cheered as they hugged and gave each other high-fives.

"Gosh! I'd never imagined this would happen!" said Azul.

"Never underestimate us, damn RSA!" said Deuce.

Everyone ran towards Ace, Jamil and Floyd and together, they threw the trio into the air.

The next day, Vil, Epel and Rook rushed to Mostro Lounge.

"Azul, please tell me there are tables available for reservation!" Vil said as he panted.

Azul was startled by Vil's expression.

"Calm down, Vil-senpai. You look rather...excited..."

"Sorry about that...I am very happy indeed," replied Vil.

"Of course. He has every right to be happy," said Rook.

"So what happened?" asked Azul.

"In fact, Vil just got a call from the manager...he got the lead role in the upcoming movie, The King of the Underworld!" said Epel.

"The King of the Underworld? The one that retells the legend of one of the Great Seven? You know, the one who founded Ignihyde?" exclaimed Azul.

"Exactly! I might not be from Ignihyde, but being able to portray one of the Great Seven is truly an honour!" said Vil. "That's why we must celebrate! Please, a table for three, and tell Sig to serve the best drinks he can make!" 

"Why, of course! It is definitely something worth congratulating on. Keep up the good work!" said Azul.

During the board games club, Idia ran to Azul with a magazine.

"Azul...Azul! You can't believe this!" He said while shaking Azul's shoulder with one hand.

"Woah, Idia-senpai! Calm down! What's going on...?" said Azul with a frown.

"Guess what...Pumpkin Knight is going to have a sequel!" said Idia, pointing to a column in a page.

"Oh...good for you," said Azul with a poker face.
