Prologue
Preeeeeeeeeeeet! (Note: Sound of the whistle being blown)
"Alright, everybody gather around!" said Uozumi Jun loudly, his booming voice echoing around the gym.
As soon as all the members of the basketball team were gathered together, Taoka-sensei stepped forward to address them.
"Good job, minna. Now remember, tomorrow's practice will be at the same time," said Taoka-sensei. "Make sure that all of you are here, and on time." He glanced at the star player of his team pointedly.
Sendoh Akira merely gave his team-coach a pleasant smile.
"Alright. You are dismissed."
Everyone began to shuffle out of the gym, all of them relieved that training was over for the day.
"Hey Sendoh!" Koshino Hiroaki called to his team-mate-cum-classmate.
Sendoh turned around to face him. "Yeah?"
"Are you going to the train station? If you are, then why don't we walk together?"
Sendoh shrugged. "Sure, why not?"
Together, the two sophomores of Ryonan High School walked out of the gym, not knowing that they were being watched from the shadows by two shadowy figures.
"Is he the one?"
"Yes, he's the one our Lord has been looking for."
"What do we do now?"
"I'll keep track of him, while you go back and report this to the Lord."
"Yes."
Both figures retreated deeper into the shadows, until all that was left was… shadows. No one, not even a tiny speck of bacteria, would have noticed their presence.
After all, they weren't called the Shaduins, the second-in-command of Logendar, for nothing.
Tbc...
