Teaming up Began Part 2, Kaito's team

"All I truly wanted was to win over the Shiba Clan,"

Kaito stated earnestly, his expression shifting to one of seriousness. While it was perfectly fine for him to express such a sentiment, Sei and Kenjuro exchanged puzzled glances, struggling to process what they had just heard.

Even Haruto, who usually maintained a neutral demeanor, turned to Kaito with an air of surprise, unable to grasp the implications of Kaito's declaration. 

"You actually told them?" Haruto asked, his voice tinged with disbelief, causing Sei to raise an eyebrow in curiosity, her confusion evident. It was clear that this revelation had taken them all by surprise. 

"I want to share my ... or rather, I should say, it's not just an opinion, it's my ultimate goal," Kaito clarified, his gaze shifting to Kenjuro and Sei as he seemed to await their reactions, eager for their thoughts on his ambitious aspirations.

"Alright," Sei replied, her eyes widening slightly as she glanced at Kenjuro in surprise, momentarily taken aback by his calm demeanor. 

"It's completely fine to agree like that," Kenjuro spoke softly to her, his voice steady and reassuring. He wore a contemplative expression, clearly lost in thought for a brief moment before it transformed into a sly smile that lit up his face.

"I'm definitely on board with this, just like Sei," he added with confidence, reinforcing his support.

"Okay, you mentioned that there are only four of us on the team, but I have a sense there will actually be five," Kaito said, his voice deep and rumbling like a bear eating honey.

"What?" Haruto inquired, his brow furrowing slightly as he regarded his companions. Sei, standing beside him, kept a carefully neutral expression, showing no signs of surprise or curiosity.

Meanwhile, Kenjuro appeared somewhat bewildered, his eyes darting between the two of them as if trying to grasp the situation fully.

"No, I'm just sensing something unusual... But let's put that aside for now. Tomorrow marks the beginning of our training days," Kaito remarked, glancing back over his shoulder.

He wore a look that strongly suggested he felt the piercing gaze of someone watching them—though upon closer inspection, it turned out to be nothing more than a few guys loitering nearby, seemingly uninterested in their conversation.

Do you feel that too?' a voice asked. He turned to face Sei, whose expression remained neutral, betraying none of the emotions that might have been swirling beneath the surface.

'Yes, but no, just a guy but a group of guys,' Kaito talked back, but no one heard their conversation. 

Sei directed her gaze deliberately towards the group of guys who were standing nearby, widening her eyes ever so slightly to better harness her unique aura and concentrate all her attention on them.

As she activated her powerful aura, the atmosphere seemed to shift, and a few majestic eagles soared gracefully overhead, their wings gliding effortlessly through the air. In that moment, Sei's eyes transformed into a mesmerizing blue sea, evoking a sense of deep tranquility, while a radiant and vibrant aura surrounded her, enhancing her presence and drawing the attention of everyone nearby.

"Five guys are watching us," Sei remarked, her eyes trained intently on the group, her expression serious. "One of them happens to be our sensei," she added, emphasizing the importance of the moment.

After a brief pause, she composed herself and shifted her focus back to Kaito and Haruto, who both looked taken aback by her sudden change in demeanor. Their expressions reflected a mix of surprise and curiosity, as they processed what Sei had just revealed.

"It's eagle eyes," Sei said with a sly and playful smile that hinted at her teasing nature. "I have a strong feeling that I'm not the only one here who possesses abilities that have been somehow enhanced by the influence of animals."

She turned her gaze towards Kaito and Haruto, her expression filled with mischief. Her statement took the two by surprise for a brief moment, leaving them momentarily speechless. But soon enough, their surprise turned into hearty laughter. 

Ha ha! You're absolutely right, Sei," Haruto said with a grin, clearly amused by the conversation.

"Now, the big question is, where exactly will our training ground be located?" He turned his gaze to each of his friends in succession, making sure to hold eye contact and gauge their reactions.

"I know of a location that would be absolutely perfect for us to train," Kenjuro stated, finally breaking his silence after a period of deep contemplation. His gaze shifted to meet theirs, emphasizing the gravity of his suggestion.

"Where exactly are you talking about?" Kaito and Haruto chimed in unison, their curiosity piqued. Kenjuro then turned his head slightly to glance at Sei, who also appeared to be intrigued by the conversation.

"It's actually your place," Kenjuro said directly to Sei, making it clear that he was referring to her home.

"Hah? What do you mean?" Sei responded with a frown, her confusion evident as she cast sidelong glances at both Kaito and Haruto. She continued,

"Where is this special place you think I know? Is there something I'm missing here?"

''Mom's hall,'' 

''Hah?'' 

''I think it's near Fujisan,'' 

Then he turned to take a quick glance at both Kaito and Haruto, making sure to capture their attention before continuing,

"There is actually a place that is absolutely perfect for you two to focus on your aura training'' 

''Miracle Hall''
