Chapter 123 - Training Camp Arc; Begins (2/2)
Shun stretched his up and replied.
Shun: ”Around six in the morning.”
Shun got up and opened his closet and pulled out his suitcase.
He looked at Ming and asked.
Shun: ”I will go take a shower. Is that fine with you?”
Ming gave him a nod and spoke.
Ming: ”Sure, go ahead.”
Shun took out some of his clothes and toiletries and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.

After Shun, Ming went to have a shower, and when he came out, Shun spoke to him.
Shun: ”Hey, let's go eat something. I just got a call, and the cafeteria is open for lunch.”
Shun and Ming were walking to the cafeteria when Ming asked.
Ming: ”Shun, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you? You look young.”
Shun looked at Ming and replied.
Shun: ”I don't mind. I am thirteen years old, but I will turn fourteen in August. How old are you?”
Ming was shocked when he heard that, and couldn't help but ask.
Ming: ”Eh, isn't the camp for sixteen and above? How did you get in?”
Shun shrugged his shoulders and answered.
Shun: ”My school coach submitted some of my clips to his friend in FIBA, and they ended up making up and exception.”
Ming looked at Shun with impressed eyes and said.
Ming: ”That is amazing. Oh, to answer your question, I am eighteen years old. So, did you come here all by yourself?”
Shun shook his head and said.
Shun: ”FIBA assigned me a chaperone. The call that I told you about that was from him. So, did you come alone?”
Ming nodded and responded.
Ming: ”Yeah. I think all the guys in this camp came here alone.”
Both of them reached the dorm cafeteria. FIBA had booked the entire dorm building for the invitees, and the cafeteria was also for FIBA use only.
Shun and Ming loaded their plates with food and looked for a table to sit.
Shun scanned the cafeteria and saw that there were not many players in the cafeteria yet. He saw a four-person table with a player eating alone.
Shun pointed at the table and said to Ming.
Shun: ”Let's sit there.”
Ming looked at the table and saw a player with a close-cropped hair cut with a clear design cut completely out.
All in all, it was an intense hairstyle.
Ming looked at Shun and asked.
Ming: ”That dude looks intense. Are you sure you want to sit with him?”
Shun smiled and replied.
Shun: ”Looks doesn't matter. I want to meet new people, and if he doesn't want to sit with us, we can always sit at an empty table. Come on, let's go ask, there is no harm in asking.”
Without waiting for a reply, Shun walked towards the table. Ming followed Shun with a wry smile.
Ming: *Sigh* ”...Young kids.”
Shun stood near the table and asked the person.
Shun: ”Hey, can we sit here?”
