Spend Time with Friends

A few minutes after the intense match between Southern Shield and Sparror over, Blue Winter and Mistress Foreseen entered the arena due to the help of a triangular portal that shrank down immediately until it couldn't be seen anymore. Disappointment shone on The Female Shaolin as she gazed down on The Arrogant Shaolin.

Southern Shield strongly kept his denial expression even though he was already defeated and Mistress Foreseen shook her head. Sparror who saw The Female Shaolin started to look pity towards her.

"Mistress Foreseen, if you needed help with Southern Shield again, I would be there." Sparror emphatically gave an offer in a telepathic way.

"Thank you so much for the offer Sparror." She telepathically replied in gladness. "However, it best from our side to help him first."

Afterward, The Flaming Hero glanced at Blue Winter with unsureness that boiled through his mind. He may have seemingly limitless stamina as he still looks fresh after the tiring match with Southern Shield. but, his mind says otherwise due to the feeling of wanting to get out of this situation could be seen clearly in the twitching yellow eyes.

"I am not sure if I can continue the next battle with Blue Winter due to the fact that I made a promise to my friend, especially Yuna, that I would come back when The Basketball match starts." Sparror said in a concerned way within his mind.

"But, if this was necessary, I am sorry, I lied to you all." Sparror added in a dilemma.

Therefore, Sparror clenched his molten fist as Blue Winter traded his stare. A stare of a person that showed an obsession grin of fighting. The Flaming Hero brought his little confidence to face The Shaolin Warrior for their upcoming battle.

"As much as I wanted to fight you, unfortunately, you are not in the mood." Blue Winter exclaimed as Sparror twitched one of his eyes in confusion.

"You had been thinking about a time management problem with your Superheroes life and spending time with friends." Blue Winter added in a chilling tone, "It's best that we had our fight tomorrow afternoon"

Sparror was shot by surprise as he quickly looked at the telepath, Mistress Foreseen who spread the information through Blue Winter minds with him nodded in gladness. Hence, The Flaming Hero respectfully bowed towards The Shaolin Warrior.

Blue Winter sighed a chilling wind and excitedly smiled at his future opponent that. While Mistress Foreseen reluctantly chuckled in gladness either The Flaming Hero or her fellow Shaolin before her vision was clouded by a glacier-blue shadow of a man we

"Thank you very much for the understanding, Blue Winter, Mistress Foreseen." Sparror thanked The Shaolin Warriors as a flaming twister rolled around the armory body.

"You are welcome, Sparror." Mistress Foreseen replied while getting closer towards Blue Winter and politely reminded him, "Remember, get your mind ready for tomorrow because it will be a very challenging and exciting match at the same time."

"Don't worry, I will be ready for it."

Thus, a flaming twister swallowed the whole of his body before the last spin made its existence dissolved completely from the naked eyes. As Sparror was no longer to be seen in the arena, Blue Winter put an anticipated smirk and impatiently shook his fist for the upcoming match that most likely have its debut tomorrow afternoon.

The Flaming Twister chose the spawning spot on the same alley yesterday and Hatoshi got out with his school uniform that didn't have any burn or damaged mark. He sighed in relief and looked upon his still fresh open palms.

"Finally, I can become me again." He exclaimed gratefully within his mind.

He grabbed his phone from the pocket pant's mouth before tapped on the glassy surface. A blue light emerged within the horizontal glass as Hatoshi sighed in safety as the time on the phone showed was "15.18".

"Whoah, I still have quite a lot of time and I think I know what to do," Hatoshi spoke within his mind before he started to commenting his current life situation in a worried demeanor,

"Ever since I became the host for Sparror, my life was actually quite stressful, to be honest. The constant losing limb, almost died at one point, dealing with a difficult-minded person, and facing an enemy that I cannot defeat alone.

"I guess that's what would happen if I chose a second life. I must be grateful for the choice." Hatoshi added with relief, "Beside tomorrow, Blue Winter and The Shaolin would officially become an ally to face this Distrunian threat.

Afterward, Hatoshi put his phone down through the inside of the pocket mouth as he gazed at the orange light that enlightened the whole face. Moreover, he captured soothing calmness from the light touch and raised his enjoyment by closing his eyes.

"So far, the most effective way of relieving this stress is to spend time with Yuna and I know exactly what kind of surprise gift for her," Hatoshi exclaimed within his mind and smirked in confidence before he left the alleyway in peace.

Raito's Stadium was a square gold-yellow building that extended from left to right. In the middle above planted a holographic a thundering yellow athletic man silhouette, mightily stood above a lightning bolt that looked exactly like the real one.

This stadium was well known to be one of the crowdest ones in Neo Tokyo City and the unique thing it had different visitors based on the time period. This afternoon, High Schools were the main visitors as there were a lot of them that headed towards the stadium.

Not only was the outside crowded, but the inside was even more crowded because there were a couple of High School students happily shouting and cheering. The noisy spectators sat on the glowing yellow chair and some of them increased their screaming volume. Even a hyping voice belonging to female and male students mashed together into one to enlivened more the passenger seater side.

Below that became the center of supporting noises, there was a clean creamy brown square basketball field with two rings across. Each basketball ring projected a holographic version of the high school's logo on the very middle top, which was Masafumi High School. Petal's logo and their opponent Miraiji High School had a green lion head with a scholar hat.

Masafumi High School students wore a white Basketball uniform while the Miraiji High School wore the same color as their logo. Naoki, who was carrying the ball, swiftly slipped and dodged the interceptor in a zigzag way like an eel.

Furthermore, all the incoming Miraiji students failed to capture Naoki's flexible back and forth movement. Thus, The Muscular students passed the ball behind and were successfully caught by a bald head high school student that wore the white uniform.

Soon, an opportunity fell short when his eagle eyes noticed a Miraiji basketball ring and the bald head student swiftly threw the ball highly as the Miraiji students tried to prevent the score by hopped in, However, their effort was proven unsuccessful as the ball much faster to leaped down through the ring, as a result, Masafumi High got their score.

"Wow, Masafumi High School just got three points thanks to Yusuke's amazing throw!" The Female commentator shockingly said.

"Yup, that's a good move from Masafumi High School and they are leading up."

Naoki, in mesmerizing happiness, hugged Yusuke and uncontrollably screamed. Not only The Muscular student, but other Masafumi students also joined the hugging list by circling their player who did a precise move happily more than ever.

While in the crowded spectator side above, Hina cheerfully howled in happiness and Satoru gave a smirk gladful smirking from seeing his fellow friend successfully score a goal. However, Yuna didn't get the same happy vibe as the other two friends.

Moreover, she only glared at the empty seat on her left side that closed to a grey neon rectangular stair for spectator entrance. Gloominess and loneliness were the only things that she caught as her eyes went down with Hina, who was beside Yuna , slowly realized her discontentment.

"Hey Yuna, it's okay, Hatoshi will eventually come." Hina cheered in a comforting tone, "He always kept his promises especially with you. Besides he will join a dinner in Tokashen Shabu House, too"

"Eh...sorry, for doing that." Yuna got up from gloominess with a shocked and shamefully giggled.

Hina shook her head with a smile and felt relief for successfully cheering her fellow friend who still wondered if Hatoshi would join as the spectator. Moreover, curious furrowed was centered around the pink jacket student expression the more she tilted her head at Yuna.

"Speaking about you and Hatoshi, are you both actually a thing or just a close friend?" Yuna whispered.

"Well, it's up to you to see." Yuna willingly admitted, "We never really care about our social status and we just love to get close with each other."

Hina twitched one of her eyes as she ventured in confusion due to Yuna's answer. Furthermore, she grasped oddness through her friend's shameless tone as if it's not like a big deal, to begin with.

"I knew Hatoshi since we are 6 years old and when my parent died in an accident, he wanted me to stay at his step-parent house to comfort my sadness." Yuna gracefully told, "Luckily, his step-parents allowed me to stay and the kindest part is they pay for my school too."

"That's how we got closer and closer until our relationship became almost like a couple," Yuna added before she giggled.

"Wait...okay, so did you still live in the same house as him?" Hina asked while raising her eyebrows.

"Right now, not often because I wanted to try living alone, and luckily his uncle bought me a rental house to stay there."

"Wow….."

Hina was stunned by Yuna's calm, yet comforting expression whom she only found more oddness. Moreover, The pink jacket student curiously roughed her cheeks and hummed as well.

"Anyway, since you were very close with Hatoshi, had you ever kissed him?" Hina asked with a curious tone.

"Luckily, we kissed but not often," Yuna admitted with a relaxing demeanor, followed by a giggle.

"Ah….okay."

Hina's confusion kept increasing with Yuna and Hatoshi's relationship that seemed chill based on her friend's story. However, she just found more strange, yet puzzling things within her mind till she finally sighed in acceptance.

"I just hope that your relationship with Hatoshi will be fine and remain healthy, of course," Hina said with a wishful smirk

"Thank you very much." She replied with her eyes closed.

Hina leaned on the chair before chuckled in high pitch satisfaction as turned her eyes to someone familiar. Yuna opened her eyes widely in a cheerful odd look towards her friend.

"Speaking about Hatoshi, he is already behind you." Hina uttered while pointing her finger.

Nevertheless, Yuna replaced her oddness with an optimistic smile and turned around to see Hatoshi who carried a brown bag, took the seat in a polite way before gazed at his close partner with a greeting smirk. Satoru, who could sense boredom from the spectator side due to most of his friends that accompanied were girls, joyfully laughed when he saw the other male friend joined the seat.

"Eh sorry, Hina, Satoru, and you too Yuna, I was kind of late." Hatoshi apologized in an uneasy tone.

"Nah...don't worry about it." Hina said in a carefree tone

"Finally, I am not the only...man anymore!" Satoru joined the conversation in a tiring voice.

Hina rolled her eyes and threw her attention towards Satoru with annoyed looks. As Hatoshi took the seat, Yuna greeted with cheerful smiles that revealed her cleaned white teeth.

"Yeah…right, weeb" Hina confronted in displease before she taunted with lower pitch voice, "I thought you really happy with it because your stupid Harem imagination can be fulfilled."

"Damn you, money-hungry bitch!" Satoru shouted with a boiling red face.

"At least, I am not obsessed with dirty imagination like you. Especially when you have an expression like a god damn shy "Harem Protagonist".

Satoru finally gave up from initiating another counterargument as he groaned loudly. While Hina beamed satisfactory towards her weeb friend that reboiled his shameful red face.

Hatoshi and Yuna enjoyably giggled seeing their fellow friends having fun bantering and mocking at the same time. Afterward, the schoolboy politely patted onto his close partner's shoulder that immediately centered her attention to him.

"Hey Yuna, I actually brought something special for you," Hatoshi said while he took out a special gift from the brown back that interested Yuna's attention the most.

She cheerfully widened and moaned in happiness as she saw four sets of fresh-looking Sushi from an opened lime green Tupperware. Nevertheless, Hatoshi gave a pleasing gaze at his close partner who kindly accepted hid gift that enchanted her hunger due to her a single lick by tongue emerged in less than a second.

"Hatoshi….thank you very much for giving Nida Bhara Sushi to me." Yuna embraced her gladness.

"You are welcome." Hatoshi replied, "Besides, I kind of felt pity when you are not....enjoying the food at Bushinoya."

Yuna laughed in pleasure while she took one of the sushi with a chopstick that Hatoshi gave her. The schoolboy rubbed his back head in an odd, yet jolly expression with her constant giggled.

"Well...I shouldn't say that." Hatoshi mumbled with furrowed eyes.

"It's okay and I am truly happy with the Sushi you gave me." Yuna happily stated, "Also your presence too."

"Hehe...thanks I guess. Anyway, let's just watch the basketball match right now, together."

"Sure, why not."

At last, the short conversation was over with Hatoshi and Yuna switched their central attention to the ongoing basketball match. Being Superhero may be quite a tiring job for the schoolboy, but at least he was still available for his friend and close partner as a spectator.
