The next day, I went through the motions of my Quirk training and academic studies, but my mind was elsewhere. I couldn't shake off the feeling that Masamichi was hiding something important.
During lunch, I met up with Yui, and we talked about our classes. But I found it hard to focus on the conversation.
"Hey, Sanzo, is everything okay?" Yui asked, noticing my distant expression. "You seem a bit preoccupied."
I hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. "I'm just a bit stressed about my training, I guess."
Yui nodded understandingly. "If you ever need to talk, I'm here for you, Sanzo."
I smiled, appreciating her concern. Maybe I could confide in her someday.
After lunch, I had a solo training session with Masamichi. He pushed me hard, testing my limits.
As the training ended, Masamichi said, "Sanzo, you're making progress, but you need to stay focused. Don't let distractions get in your way."
I nodded, wondering if he suspected that I was getting close to uncovering the truth.
Little did he know, I was more determined than ever to dig deeper.
How's this? I can continue with the next chapter if you'd like!
