Ken's mouth was salivating just thinking about the rewards that were up for grabs from the system's mission. If they won today, he would receive a SS-Grade Physicality Elixir and if he got player of the tournament it was a SS-Grade Mental Elixir up for grabs.
With those thoughts in mind, Ken moved around the locker room and checked in on every single one of the players, ensuring they were all locked in.
While the first few players like Makoto and Yuta appreciated his concern, by the time he got to Yusuke and Hiroki, they shooed him away like an annoying fly.
"Go sit on the bench or something, you're annoying me."
"Yeah, or maybe grab us some water?"
Ken's eyebrow twitched in response, feeling the sudden urge to inflict some pain on his so called friends. However, just before he acted on his impulses, he saw Akira sitting by himself in the corner.
He decided to extricate himself from Hiroki and Yusuke in order to check on him.
