Shiro walked up beside him and grinned, "Man you played so well in that final game, congratulations dude."
Ken didn't respond, his eyes still locked onto the changed version of Shiro in front of him.
"Alright… You've got some explaining to do." He said, placing his arm around the guy's shoulders.
They began to talk as they walked to class.
Apparently the team had been doing Ken's workouts every day while he was gone. At some point Shiro's body had beefed up and he amassed the confidence to ask Kaori out to which she surprisingly agreed.
This only served to boost his already burgeoning confidence, almost causing him to be unrecognizable in his current state.
Yet Ken was a little skeptical, at least until he remembered the skill he'd passed to Shiro during Koshien. With the Fatigue Management skill, he probably had a much easier time during training.
