After carrying Allen on his shoulder, Jin returned to the tunnel where his classmates were waiting in heavy silence.
Cheers echoed in the narrow tunnels, picturing the match that pushed their tension to its max.
He got closer to others, but no one noticed his presence.
Kaede's cat ears twitched as her body pivoted his way. Her lifeless purple eyes sparkled while purred adorably.
Her actions drew everyone's attention, starting from Kurobe.
"Big bro, Jin. You've come back and Big sis Lucya too?".
"We're back, how is the match?".
The mood soured at the mention of the tournament.
Jin's emerald eyes swept over the group, and he noticed Kain lifted his hand and fixed his glasses up.
"I'm sorry, we suffered a loss because of me".
Kain's low tone and his crumpled expression gave everything.
However, Jin shrugged his shoulders; his voice was lax or almost indifferent to any of it.
"No, don't worry about it".
