Otosaka Souji entered Teiko Middle School and searched to the left.

Takashiro Takagi then walked to the right.

Otosaka Souji was quite familiar with Teiko Middle School.

After all, Otosaka Souji had only recently transferred from Teiko Middle School to Hoshinoumi Academy.

Returning to Teiko Middle School now can only be considered a return visit to familiar places.

Teiko Middle School is very large. It took Otosaka Souji two and a half hours to search just the area on the left.

"Ding-dong—"

Otosaka Souji's cell phone rang in his pocket.

Souji took out his phone to check and saw that it was a message from Tomori Nao.

"The search is complete. Meet at the school gate."

It seems that Nao Tomori has already searched her area.

Upon receiving the news, Otosaka Souji immediately rushed towards the main gate of Teiko Middle School.

Upon arriving at the main gate, Otosaka Souji saw Tomori Nao and Takagi Joujirou already waiting for him.

Upon seeing Otosaka Souji arrive, Tomori Nao spoke first.

"Well? Didn't you notice anything unusual?"

“It’s normal that I’m not here; I haven’t found anyone unusual,” Takashiro Jojiro replied.

"Me too, everything's normal."

After searching the area on the left, Otosaka Souji did not find anyone unusual.

Hearing that the two of them said they hadn't found anything, Nao Tomori pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I haven't found anything either. It seems we need to start from somewhere else."

Seeing that everyone had come up empty-handed, Otosaka Souji hesitated to speak.

In the end, I decided to share what I already knew first.

Then Otosaka Souji spoke to the two of them.

"Um, I think I know who it is."

"Before I transferred to Hoshinoha Academy, I knew someone in the Teiko Middle School basketball team who had a very low profile."

"Perhaps he is the special ability user we are looking for."

Both Nao Tomori and Jouji Takagi were very excited upon hearing the news from Otosaka Souji.

Nao Tomori said to Souji Otosaka.

"Quickly, take us to that person."

"Okay, follow me."

On the way, Otosaka Souji spoke to the two of them again.

“I don’t know if he’s there now, but I think he’s most likely to be there right now.”

Afterwards, Otosaka Souji led Tomori Nao and Takashiro Takeshi to an old basketball court at Teiko Middle School.

Before even entering, Otosaka Souji, standing outside the basketball court, could hear the familiar sound of basketballs bouncing.

"Looks like we've come to the right place."

After saying that, Otosaka Souji led Tomori Nao and Takagi Joujiro through the door.

Sunlight streamed into the indoor basketball court as Otosaka Souji pushed open the door.

However, no one saw anyone inside.

It was as if there was no one on the basketball court, only a ball was magically bouncing incessantly.

The sound of basketballs bouncing stopped abruptly when Otosaka Souji and the others entered.

"I can't believe it," Takashiro asked, puzzled.

There's nobody here.

Nao Tomori, standing to the side, stroked her chin and said...

"I just heard the sound of a basketball bouncing; there must have been someone here before."

"As for why we see no one now, it's probably because that's his ability."

At this moment, Takagi Joshiro realized what was happening and spoke at the same time as Tomori Nao.

"Low presence!"

Both of them guessed it.

Otosaka Souji said with a mysterious expression.

"That's right, there is someone here, but he is so inconspicuous that you didn't notice him."

"You're right, aren't you, Tetsuya-kun?"

Souji spoke to Kuroko Tetsuya, who had already come up to him but had not been noticed due to his low profile.

"Good afternoon, Souji-kun. I heard you transferred to Hoshinokai Academy. What brings you back?"

While Kuroko Tetsuya was speaking, Tomori Nao and Takagi Joshiro finally noticed him.

Otosaka Souji replied to Kuroko Tetsuya.

"I've come back to find you, Tetsuya Kuroko. Let's transfer to Hoshinoumi Academy together."

Nao Tomori and the others have basically confirmed that Kuroko Tetsuya has suddenly appeared.

Kuroko Tetsuya is the special ability user with low profile that they are looking for.

Kuroko Tetsuya was still puzzled by Otosaka Souji's invitation to go to Hoshinoumi Academy with him.

So he asked Otosaka Souji.

"Souji-kun, why do you want me to transfer to Hoshinoumi Academy with you?"

Before Otosaka Souji could even answer him, Tomori Nao stepped forward to explain.

“Our Starry Sea Academy is an academy that specializes in recruiting and protecting people with special abilities, and you are one of those people with special abilities.”

"That's why we came here specifically to find you, hoping you can transfer to our Starry Sea Academy."

After saying this, Nao Tomori tried to convince Tetsuya Kuroko of what she had said.

She used her incomplete invisibility ability right in front of Kuroko Tetsuya.

Seeing Nao Tomori suddenly disappear in front of him, Tetsuya Kuroko believed it.

Then Kuroko Tetsuya asked another question.

"Um, do I have any special abilities that make you want to come all this way to find me?"

At this moment, Otosaka Souji spoke up.

"Tetsuya, I suppose you've already realized it yourself!"

"Your presence is abnormally low; you are often overlooked or even forgotten by others. This abnormally low presence is your special ability."

Hearing this, Kuroko Tetsuya thought for a moment and then said.

"Um, will I still be able to play basketball at Starsea Academy?"
