"Is Atlas hiding a special skill? Can he jump higher than Hugo?"

"Just what is Team Hugo trying to achieve now? I'm getting very nervous - oh my god, I'm freaking out!"

"Senior Atlas~! You can do it~!"

As the crowd started whispering to one another, the basketball team, who were sitting with the crowd near Charles's bench, gazed at Charles's back.

The rest nodded in agreement, keeping their eyes on Charles's back.

"I can't believe that was twelve years ago," another one expressed. "Yet, I guess even if we all grow old, he's going to stay the same."
