The typical scenery of a coastal town spread before them. accent On the horizon, fishing boats lay still, while seagulls soared above.

“I didn’t know this place existed.”

“Ahhh…”

“I mean a real fight.”

“You probably think it won’t take too long, right?”

“That…”

Unlike his past life, in this one he was training with all his strength every moment. riddle And because of that, he didn’t feel like his limit had been defined.

Yuri couldn’t deny it. audit He couldn’t give a specific date, but deep down he believed it would happen.

Yuri focused on Jose.
