Gin likes me?

I don’t know if the silver-haired roommate wanted him to follow him, but Uozuka Saburo didn’t waste this opportunity and followed his silver-haired roommate into the room.

"Damn it, does that boy live with Kurosawa?" The two boys who blocked their way cursed in a low voice with ugly expressions as they quietly watched Uozuka Saburo and the silver-haired girl walk into the room.

"I don't know, but Kurosawa isn't the type to meddle in other people's business. Why would he help that kid?"

"You ask me, who should I ask? Fuck, I'm going to be laughed at now, damn Kurosawa! What are you, a little girl, pretending to be!"

"Keep your voice down. If someone hears you, be careful that she will come looking for you during training later."

“…Fuck!”

. . .

"that."

After returning to his dormitory safely, he simply wiped his body and prepared to lie down to rest for a while, looking at his silver-haired roommate on the bed opposite him with some restlessness.

"Thank you just now."

When he said this, Uozuka Saburo was so embarrassed that his face turned red.

What is this? I gave half a loaf of bread yesterday, and now I am being protected?

"Don't bother with those people. You can't beat them."

The silver-haired girl, half lying with her body slightly tilted, glanced at Uozuka Saburo and spoke in a cold voice.

She didn't know why she had to care about this boring thing today.

Since entering this base, her only goal has been to become stronger! Other people and things should have nothing to do with her.

But when she saw Saburo Uozuka surrounded by two people, she still chose to speak instead of just walking by as if it had nothing to do with her.

"Just because of half a loaf of bread? How ridiculous!"

Although she secretly mocked herself in her heart, the silver-haired girl found that she could not forget the taste of the cold and choking half piece of bread she had eaten last night.

She has been at this base for half a year, and this is the first time someone has given her bread.

"Put on training, you are too weak now."

The subtle feeling in her heart made the silver-haired girl feel a little uncomfortable. She didn't want to continue communicating with Uozuka Saburo. She left the last words, turned around and closed her eyes.

"Forehead..."

Staring blankly at his silver-haired roommate, Uozuka Saburo suddenly felt that she was not as cold as she appeared.

but.

"Become stronger! I think I still need to become stronger!"

007: Advanced

"Hoo! Hoo!"

His chest heaving violently, and using both hands to support himself on the ground to prevent himself from falling, Uozuka Saburo raised his head and looked at the instructor who was standing next to the training ground with his arms folded.

"Five minutes and 5 seconds, not bad. Judging from the time, you have finished."

Nodding with satisfaction, the instructor released the pocket watch in his hand, letting it swing with gravity and the rope.

"..." Maintaining his rapid breathing, Saburo Uozuka did not answer the instructor's words, but he was still somewhat happy in his heart.

Saburo Uozuka has spent a month at this No. 1 training base.

From simple running at the beginning to being targeted by the instructor for better physical training later on, Saburo Uozuka felt like he had spent this month in hell.

Every day, his mind and body are kept under high intensity. If it weren't for that bit of perseverance and tenacity in his character, Saburo Uozuka might have disappeared like the 11 children who had already retired from the training ground.

Yes, there were originally 31 children who came together, but now there are only left.

It was during those later days when he saw children being eliminated from the team every day that Uozuka Saburo became more determined to complete the seemingly impossible training.

He doesn't want to be eliminated, even though his current life is not what he chose!

However, it was this month's training that made Uozuka Saburo feel like he had been reborn.

The originally somewhat empty body became solid. Although there were no obvious muscles, Uozuka Saburo's overall condition looked much more fierce.

Today, at the instructor's request, he used all his strength to run through all the obstacles in Training Ground No. 1 in this order.

It can be seen that the instructor is very satisfied with Saburo Uozuka's performance.

No, I am very satisfied.

With his mouth wide open, the instructor looked at Uozuka Saburo, who was gasping for breath and leaning against the ground wet with his sweat, and nodded slightly.

He has been working in this underground base for many years. Apart from other things, the physical strength and perseverance shown by Uozuka Saburo are definitely the best among the children he has ever seen.

Although it is not known what other talents he will develop through training will be like, the physical strength and perseverance, as well as the ferocity that Uozuka Saburo showed in the fight, told the instructor that this child will definitely have the potential to stand out and become a formal member of the organization.

Well, maybe if I work hard, I can work towards becoming a wine celebrity.

"Okay, that's all for your training today, Uozuka." The instructor walked up to Uozuka Saburo and looked down at him.

"Go to the cafeteria to eat, and then rest by yourself in the afternoon. Starting tomorrow, you don't need to train at Training Ground No. 1."

"Yes, instructor." After struggling to stand up, although he was still a little shaky when he stood up, he finally stood up straight and answered in a deep voice.

"I remember you were in the same dormitory as Kurosawa, right? You can go with her to the training tomorrow morning." Touching his stubbled chin, the instructor looked at Uozuka Saburo with a smile.

Well, my judgment was correct.

"I understand!" There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but more of it was excitement.

But Saburo Uozuka knew what his silver-haired roommate's daily training was like.

Compared to my own early physical training, their group was truly advanced in training.

This is also what Uozuka Saburo has been looking forward to.

"Okay, let's go." The instructor waved his hand and focused his attention on the other children who were still running laps. It seemed that he had lost interest in Uozuka Saburo.

"Goodbye, instructor!" Nodding, Uozuka Saburo had no intention of staying, but still maintained the most basic respect for the instructor in front of him.

Not to mention that he had the power of life and death over a little kid like him, even though he had trained them strictly in the past month, he hadn't done anything cruel to torture them. Uozuka Saburo felt that in this kind of base, this instructor was already acceptable.

"Little ghost, I'm giving you a piece of advice. Don't trust anyone here. Only your own fist is the most trustworthy."

He paused slightly, turned his head, looked at the instructor whose back was only visible, and his throat moved slightly.

Without saying anything, Uozuka Saburo walked out of Training Ground No. 1 with more determined steps.

He was now more looking forward to telling his silver-haired roommate about his advancement.

"Oh, so."

"...So, I am the first one among this group to advance."

Waving his arms in an attempt to increase his persuasiveness, Saburo Uozuka looked at his expressionless roommate opposite him and sighed helplessly.

"I've become your classmate and trained with you. Shouldn't you praise me for my great progress?"

"..." His eyes swept across Uozuka Saburo. Although his silver-haired roommate did not say a word, Uozuka Saburo clearly saw the disdain in the other's eyes.

"You think you should be proud of this progress? Come on, you are weak!"

Instantly imagining the ridicule of his silver-haired roommate, Uozuka Saburo opened his mouth, but in the end he chose to go back in frustration.

There was no way. The more he trained, the more Uozuka Saburo realized that he was still no match for his silver-haired roommate.

"By the way, Kurosawa, you've been in this base for a long time, right? Do you know when our training will end?"

Lying lazily on the bed, Saburo Uozuka, who had had a good rest today, looked at the gap in the ceiling with a dazed look in his eyes.

During this month, what Uozuka Saburo gained was not only better physical fitness from training, but also some progress in his relationship with his silver-haired roommate.

Although her roommate doesn't like to talk, she is definitely a troublemaker. This can be seen from the fact that she has been punished three times in this month.

With the experience of the first time, Uozuka Saburo was very generous. When his silver-haired roommate was punished and had no time to eat, he gave her three pieces of bread. He then put some bread he had saved in the cabinet between the two of them, and readily said that if she wanted to eat, she could take it.

Although this set of operations seemed a bit stupid in retrospect to Saburo Uozuka himself, after all, thanks to his own efforts, Saburo Uozuka can now chat with his roommates.

"Wait until you can carry out the mission yourself."

Throwing down these words coldly, the silver-haired roommate lifted the quilt and closed his eyes first.

"Tomorrow's training will be different, so be careful."

"It's different. I'm really looking forward to it."

He smiled and shook his head, not too flustered.

After all, at this point, I don't have any choice, right?

008: No right to retreat

The next morning, Uozuka Saburo woke up on purpose before the whistle sounded.

Taking advantage of his roommate's usual wake-up time, Uozuka Saburo followed her and walked slowly into the cafeteria.

After taking his own plate, Uozuka Saburo was about to sit back in the seat he had been sitting in for a month.

But as his eyes wandered, Uozuka Saburo changed his mind.

"Kurosawa, does your training start at 8 o'clock like ours?"

Holding the food tray and sitting opposite the silver-haired roommate, Uozuka Saburo asked with a smile.

"Yes."

Looking up at the smiling Uozuka Saburo, the silver-haired roommate did not express anything extra, but just ate his own food quietly.

However, the expressions of the other people sitting in the area with the silver-haired roommate changed slightly, but no one said anything.

When Saburo Uozuka finished his meal, he walked out of the cafeteria with his silver-haired roommate and came to Training Ground No. 1, which was unfamiliar to them but looked larger and deeper than Training Ground No. 5. The people who had been curious in the cafeteria before looked directly at Saburo Uozuka.

Although he allowed Uozuka Saburo to follow him, the silver-haired roommate had no intention of helping Uozuka Saburo introduce anything.

After bringing Uozuka Saburo to training ground No. 5, he started warm-up training on his own.

Looking around, Uozuka Saburosan felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and touched his head with a smile.

After a brief look, Saburo Uozuka had already seen the difference of this training ground No. 5.

There are still running tracks, but the obstacles have become more dangerous and complicated. There is also a row of somewhat broken sandbags at the edge of the training ground, which should be used for training hitting.

Before Uozuka Saburo could finish the analysis in his mind, a somewhat hoarse voice broke the atmosphere in the training ground.

"Now that we're here, stand still!"

Following the command, everyone in the training ground gathered together and stood in an orderly manner.

Saburo Uozuka noticed that most of the people in the training ground were of his age. There were a few who were a little older, but definitely no one over twenty years old.

This is much more convenient than the kindergarten group that Uozuka Saburo was in before.

"Are you the kid that Artest allowed to come to my training ground?"

"Yes, instructor!" Standing up straight, Saburo Uozuka turned around abruptly and looked at the short man behind him who did not look as strong as the instructor of training ground No. 1, but felt more dangerous.

"Stand at the end of the line." After looking at Saburo Uozuka coldly, the instructor of Training Ground No. 5 waved his hand with no interest and sent Saburo Uozuka to stand at the end of the line.

The following training also allowed Uozuka Saburo to find out what was going on when his silver-haired roommate said something different last night.

There is no difference in the basic training of warming up and building up physical fitness, but the obstacle course that follows becomes more three-dimensional and difficult.

Saburo Uozuka, who was somewhat uncomfortable with the changes in training, felt a little uncomfortable halfway through the training, but after looking at the people around him, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

When it comes to perseverance, Uozuka Saburo doesn't think he's any worse than the others!

"Not bad, you actually followed all of them, and the completion time is above average. No wonder that guy Atai let you come after me, is his stamina weird?"

Looking at Saburo Uozuka who had completed all the training on the first day, the instructor at Training Ground No. 5 also raised his eyebrows.

Normally, Saburo Uozuka should not have been able to adapt to the new intensity and ups and downs of training and would have fallen behind about halfway through, but he actually persisted throughout it all.

Not bad, but in terms of physical strength and perseverance, it is already excellent.

"But unfortunately, the training here is not like the stupid physical training of athletes."

With a sinister smile on his face, the instructor noticed the changing expressions of the other students in the venue and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

"Alright, everyone, get up! Since there are new people here today, you're lucky. Let's review the basics of unlimited fighting."
