Chapter 82 Off to the school
After listening to the words of Yuya, Hiro tried to inquire about his fear. But Yuya refused to reveal anything more. He simply didn't want to talk about that topic.
Since he was unwilling to reveal any further, Hiro respected his decision and stopped questioning him any further.
And as he stopped questioning further, Yuya turned his focus towards his tray and started munching on his breakfast.
'I guess something must have happened to him.' Hiro thought while blankly staring at his tray full of food.
Just then Shun put his chopsticks down.
"Well I've finished my breakfast. So I'll be leaving now." Saying such Shun stood up from his spot. "You guys too should focus on eating rather than talking. The bus will leave at 8:15 afterall."
"Okay!! Thanks for the reminder." Hiro replied while turning his gaze towards Shun.
Shun then cleaned up his mess and walked away with his tray.
After the departure of Shun, the three of them turned their attention towards the food and continued to eat in silence.
Soon after Shun left, both Shunta and Yuya finished their breakfast as well. Upon finishing their breakfast, both of them left the table too, leaving him all by himself.
Even after everybody's departure, it took him quite a while to finish his breakfast.

Dressed in a casual straight black pant and a white cotton shirt layered with a navy blue coloured blazer, he made his way towards the main gate of the youth facility while carrying his bag.
Since it took him quite a while to finish his breakfast, he was the last one to leave the cafeteria.
And as he exited the gate, he noticed two buses parked infront of road, awaiting for the arrival of the players of Kawasaki Frontale's youth team.
Those two yellow coloured school buses were hired by the club to commute the players of youth team to their respective schools.
'Now which bus do I need to board in?' He wondered while looking at those two buses parked infront of the road.
Looking somewhat confused, he kept on staring at the buses.
"Oh you're that new boy from yesterday, right?" The guard questioned him after noticing him standing infront of the main gate all alone, dressed in his school uniform.
Just as he heard the voice of the guard, he startlingly turned around to face the guard.
Since he was focused on the buses ahead, he didn't notice the presence of the guard behind him. Thus, he was startled when he suddenly heard the voice of the guard coming from behind him.
"Ahh yes!! Good morning. I'm Takahashi Hiro." He quickly bowed his head after regaining his composure and greeted the old man.
"Good morning. Good morning. I'm Takafumi Kazama, the security guard of this youth facility." Kazama greeted him back while revealing a slight smile in his face to calm him down and introduced himself.
"I'm really sorry for the trouble which I caused you yesterday but Mr Kazama can you please tell me the bus I need to board. I'm running really late and most of my friends have already boarded the bus." He asked Mr. Kazama for his guidance.
"Ahh right!! The front one is for players who are in high school. So you'll have to board in the one in the back." Kazama replied while pointing towards the direction of the bus.
And as he found the bus he was supposed to board, he thanked Mr. Kazama and left in a hurry.
"He seems like a nice guy." Mr. Kazama chuckled while looking at him, running towards the bus.
He was the last one to board the bus. And because of that most of the seats were already occupied.
'Umm... There isn't even a single seat available other than a one at the back. Where should I sit now?' He wondered while looking for any vacant spots.
Just as he was wandering his eyes, he noticed a hand raised high, waving at him from the seat at the 4th row of the left side.
'Oh!! It's Shun.' He thought after he noticed the presence of Shun in that seat.
Noticing Shun, he walked towards him. And luckily Shun had saved a spot for him.
"Just what took you so long?" Shun questioned him as he got near to him.
"The breakfast. I was literally the last person to leave the cafeteria." He replied while taking his seat beside Shun.
"I guessed so. Just heed my advice and don't take too long to clean yourself from tomorrow onwards." Shun suggested.
And as they began to chatter, the bus driver stepped on the gas.
After about 20 minutes bus ride, the bus stopped infront of the school gate.
"So are we here?" Hiro questioned.
"You can see for yourself." Shun replied while pointing his finger outside the window.
And just as he took a peak at the scene outside the window, he noticed a black banner with huge letters written in it in golden colour, flung above a huge metal gate which read as such: Kawasaki Middle School.
Infront of the gate, groups of students dressed in school uniform were walking towards the school while cheerfully laughing and gossiping with each other.
With his eyes gleaming with curiosity, Hiro continued to stare outside the window.
And while he was lost in the scene outside the window, one by one all his teammates left the bus.
"You can see as much as you want later. But let us get off the bus now." Shun intoned.
His words brought him back to his senses. And just as he came back to his senses, his eyes fell towards the vacant seats around him. "Where are other players?" He inquired in a low voice.
Shun while squeezing his way out his seat, replied; "They're already headed in."
And as he got out of his seat, he began to dust his uniform. "Now we showed probably head inside as well. Or are you planning on staying at the bus?" He mumbled while dusting his uniform.
"No, no... Let's go" Hiro replied and stood up from his seat as well.
Both of them then boarded off the bus and walked towards the school gate.
