Chapter 14
Today, the Academy was closed—no classes.
Saitama had been training all morning, and now it was about time to return home for lunch.
"Crunch!"
Saitama turned his head toward the sound.
Shisui stood beneath a tree not far away, one foot on a snapped branch.
"Granny Kaka told me you'd be out here training," Shisui said with a small smile.
They had only known each other for a few months, but their bond felt like something forged over years. There was an ease and familiarity between them that few six-year-olds shared.
Lately, however, Shisui had changed.
Ever since he began receiving special training from his father and the clan, he had grown quieter—no longer as carefree or mischievous as when they'd first met.
"Out here training again, huh?" Shisui said casually.
"Nothing else to do," Saitama replied, adjusting the strap of his ninja pouch until it rested comfortably against his thigh.
