"Hey, Mr. Heizi, why did you come to practice so late today?" Lizi, who was on the sidelines, noticed Heizi suddenly appearing at the door, and her eyes lit up. "Hurry up and change your clothes, and you can still catch up with the training later." She trotted on tiptoe Arriving at Heizi's side, Reiko frowned while playing with the whistle on her chest.

"Coach, I'm not here for training today." Heizi responded calmly as he looked at Lizi who was walking in front of her with her hips on her hips.

"Eh?" Hearing the other party's emotionless voice, Reiko couldn't help opening her almond-shaped eyes unexpectedly.

With a stiff body, she was stunned for a while before noticing that there was another boy standing beside Heizi.

Squinting her eyes, she looked at the strange face seriously, and couldn't help but stare intently.

The visitor had neat short silver hair, his face was very delicate, his pale golden eyes were shining calmly, and he looked back at Lizi with a half-smile.

The other was wearing a plain T-shirt and jeans.

Lizi made a preliminary judgment from the faint outline of his body line in his T-shirt——

This person is also a regular exerciser, and—

All the indicators of his physique should be above ordinary people.

The height is about 190, which is comparable to Vulcan.

Rubbing her chin, she stared at it for a while, but after noticing the awkward look in the boy's eyes, Reiko realized that she had been staring at him for a long time.

Pulling the corners of her lips in embarrassment, she couldn't help scratching her head.

—Forget it, occupational disease...

When I meet someone who is tall and strong, I will automatically start to calculate his various physical indicators.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but parted her cherry lips, and said dryly: "Well, Mr. Heizi, who is this?..."

Catching the confusion in Reiko's eyes, Heizi glanced sideways at the boy beside him, and then briefly introduced to Reiko: "Coach, this is my friend, Kaiichi Sakurai."

"Please take care of me." After Heizi finished speaking, the boy beside him nodded slightly to Lizi, with a peaceful smile on his face.

"Oh, I'm Reiko Aida, please take care of me." In response to the other party politely, Reiko pursed her lips.

Noticing that Reiko and Heizi seemed to be talking about something by the basketball court door, Vulcan, who was standing under the basket in the distance, frowned slightly.

His eyes kept falling on the frail body by the door, Vulcan moved his feet, listening to the shrill sound of the sneakers rubbing against the ground, an indecipherable emotion slipped through his heart.

The sweat on his forehead was still dripping down his cheeks, he subconsciously reached out and pulled up his sportswear and rubbed it roughly on his face, his complexion became darker.

"Hey, who is that boy next to Heizi?" Just as Kagami was silent, Hinata, who was standing not far in front of him, was adjusting his breath, which was somewhat disturbed by the strenuous exercise, while reaching out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead hastily.

"..." Hearing the other party's question, Vulcan stared sideways in a daze.

——I saw that Heizi was too focused just now, and he didn't even think to go over and look at the boy next to him.

"Vulcan, do you know that guy?" However, just as he squinted his eyes to identify carefully, Hinata slowly walked to his side and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

Looking sternly at the smiling man standing beside Heizi calmly, Vulcan's face was gloomy: "I don't know him."

However, just when Vulcan wondered what the three people by the door had said, Lizi suddenly turned her head with a pale complexion from afar, her eyes filled with an unprecedented dumbness.

Noticing the coach's softening momentum for a moment, everyone on the field couldn't help frowning slightly, not understanding what was going on.

Looking at the figure of Lizi who seemed to be hit by something and could fall to the ground at any time, Kagami squinted his eyes.

"What the hell... what's wrong?" He muttered, his eyes flicked back and forth between Heizi, the strange man and Lizi.

However, the hovering question didn't last long, and Lizi walked slowly towards the middle of the basketball court with heavy steps.

After a while, she stood among several basketball players. She raised her head with a dismal expression, looked at the crowd solemnly, and said slowly, "Everyone." Taking a breath, his voice seemed to tremble a little, "Mr. Heizi, I'm leaving the basketball club."

"..."

A few seconds after Reiko finished speaking, the stadium was dead silent.

I don't know how long it took before the training ground erupted——

"what?"

"Eh?!……"

"what?!!!!!"

After being amazed, everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of Heizi like an electric shock, and then frenziedly rushed towards the door like a tide.

"Heizi, is he going to retreat?" Hinata standing next to Vulcan stretched out his hand in shock and pushed his glasses, his eyes widened with an unbelievable look.

"..." Stiff in place, Vulcan stood far away on the basketball court, looking at the thin figure surrounded by the crowd by the door, without saying a word.

——In two days, I will transfer from Shirorin——

——Wasn't that... that kid casually talking about it?

Looking in amazement at Heizi's still expressionless face in the crowd, Vulcan slightly clenched his palms.

After being silent for a moment, he suddenly took a slow step, walking steadily towards the human wall piled up at the front door.

His eyes fixed on Heizi's calm expression as usual, for some reason, Vulcan felt an uncontrollable annoyance occupying his chest.

——That kid... has always had that face.

Even though the impatience of the people around him was obvious, he still stood calmly in the middle as if it had nothing to do with him, letting everyone rub his hair and pat him on the shoulder.

—Always... that poker face.

Gritting his teeth, Vulcan approached the door step by step with a dignified expression. Even though the raging irritability in his heart was already very clear, he restrained it fiercely for the first time.

Strolling to the outside of the human wall, Vulcan lowered his head and looked through the layers of human heads in front of him, staring at the fair face in the middle with fiery eyes, and furrowed his forked eyebrows quietly and fiercely.

"Heizi." He stretched out his hand to push aside a few first-year players who were standing in front of him, and said in a calm voice.

Hearing the sound, Heizi turned his head subconsciously, and then located Vulcan's complicated face.

A slight surprise flashed across the light blue eyes, but he quickly returned to calm.

Heizi pursed his lips lightly at Vulcan, and Heizi nodded: "Vulcan Lord."

"Come here, I have something to ask you."

Raising his chin towards the crowd, Vulcan squinted at Heizi with a cold voice.

"..." Heizi looked at Vulcan's serious face in puzzlement, but Heizi didn't respond.

"Huh? Are you...Could it be Shirorin's Ace, the fire god?"

However, just as Kagami was staring at Heizi solemnly, the boy named Kaiichi Sakurai who was standing next to Heizi raised his silver eyebrows, and a playful smile curled his lips.

Listening to the question, Vulcan squinted his eyes sideways, and noticed the boy who was about the same height as him.

"My name is Kaiichi Sakurai, Kuroko's friend." Sakurai continued to smile, and stretched out a hand to Vulcan, "Please give me your advice."

Watching the other party's movements, Vulcan glanced at the other party's palm, without the intention of holding it, but with a cold and indifferent look: "Sorry, I didn't talk to you."

After speaking, he looked at Heizi again, and he took a step forward slowly.

"Heizi, come out." Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Heizi's reaction, Vulcan stretched out his hand to grab Heizi's wrist, ignoring everyone's astonishment, and forcibly dragged him to the outside of the basketball training field.

"Vulcan... Jun?..." His eyes widened unexpectedly, Heizi staggered and was pulled away from the basketball court by Vulcan.

"Hey... what's going on?"

"This...what the hell is going on?..."

A group of people were left staring at each other.

**

Entering the long and narrow corridor, Vulcan slammed the door of the basketball training ground behind him with a heavy movement, making a sudden and dull sound.

Turning around and continuing to grab Heizi's wrist, Vulcan strode forward to lead him towards the corner of the corridor ahead.

"Vulcan Lord? What's the matter?" Heizi stared at the back of Vulcan's red head wonderingly, frowning and asking, but he could only let the other party pull him hard.

After a while, he forcefully dragged Heizi into a dark side path, Vulcan gradually stopped and let go of his palm.

Turning around and lowering his head, looking at the face full of confusion in front of him, Vulcan felt more and more that the chaotic emotions that started just now... no, it was the confession by this kid yesterday became more and more vivid.

Twirling his Adam's apple, he frowned, his eyes flickering with frustration: "Just now, what did that mean?"

"What... what do you mean?" Heizi was puzzled.

"Talk about retiring from the basketball club." Restraining his fiery temper, Vulcan managed to calm down his voice.

"Yeah." Responding calmly, Heizi nodded, "Didn't you also tell Vulcan-kun yesterday? I will transfer away from Shirorin, so naturally the basketball club here can't participate, so I—"

"So why did you suddenly turn away for no reason?!" Clenching his fists, Vulcan interrupted Heizi with gritted teeth, with a look of agitation.

"..." Heizi froze when he noticed that the other party's questioning was out of control for a moment.

Staring at Heizi with tearing eyes, Vulcan's face was blazing.

"Because the family suddenly moved away from here, so I had to transfer school." Heizi quietly looked back into Vulcan's flickering eyes, Heizi said lightly, "If possible, I certainly don't want to quit. After all, It was a real pleasure to play with everyone.”

"..." Hearing this, his face froze, Vulcan was dumb.

Staring at Vulcan's steadfast eyes, Heizi smiled bitterly, "Besides, there's nothing wrong with leaving now."

Looking at Heizi's suddenly gloomy face, Vulcan asked subconsciously: "Why is there nothing wrong? The team will be very difficult without you!" Clenching his fists, Vulcan frowned.

"Vulcan-kun, you are very strong." However, he did not respond to Vulcan's meaning, Heizi said quietly, calm as always, "No matter what difficulties you have, they will not stop your dream of striving to become the number one in Japan, will they? "

"Of course!"

"So, even if I leave, it won't have any effect on you." Heizi narrated calmly, "You will become a dazzling light, so dazzling that you can get rid of all shadows. The team is the same, even if I leave , there will be new strength and new skills input, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, even if we don’t separate now, we will still leave the Chengrin team when we graduate from high school, won’t we?”

The corners of his lips curled into a faint smile, and Heizi nodded at Vulcan: "So, Vulcan Lord, you don't need to be too disturbed, I—"

"Oh, you said the team won't be affected, huh?" Hearing Heizi's calm voice, Vulcan in front of him suddenly covered his forehead with one hand, buried his cheek in his palm and shook his head wryly, interrupting him lightly. "You said... I... won't be affected?"

"..."

Gritting his teeth, rubbing his fingers into the ends of his hair, he tugged violently, Vulcan said in frustration, "What do you think I am, huh?"

"..." Heizi was puzzled as he stared blankly at the suddenly painful face of Vulcan in front of him.

"Let me ask you, why did you suddenly say those things to me on the road yesterday?" His palm slowly moved away from his cheek, and Vulcan's eyes stared complicatedly at Heizi's surprised face, pausing every word, " It's purely boring, are you kidding me?"

"Vulcan Lord?... What are you talking about?"

"Like me?" Slowly walking towards Heizi, Vulcan slowly approached the thin body line, his eyes never left Heizi's dazed eyes for a moment, until there was only half a step between the two of them, "You actually said... like me, um ?”

"..."

Clenching his fists, Vulcan narrowed his eyes: "I ask you, what does that mean? Is it fun to play me?!"

——Aren’t you going to transfer away?

——Aren’t you going to retire?

——Then why are you telling me this all of a sudden?

"Vulcan Lord, I—"

"Tetsuya? Where are you? It's time to go back!"

However, just when Heizi was about to explain something, a loud call suddenly came from the long and narrow corridor.

"Zhe... also?" Hearing this, he parted his lips dumbly, and Vulcan squinted his eyes and raised his head, looking in the direction of the sound source.

However, for a moment, the field of vision broke into the figure of Sakurai from far and near.

"Hey, so it's here." Looking at the tall and short figures in front of him, Sakurai smiled slightly, "What are you doing?"
