Choo-choo! Choo-choo!
A train's wheelset sparked against the tracks as it chugged along the railway, and steam billowed from the smokestack.
It arrived at the gray-skied Irio right on time, with clouds slowly parting to reveal a glimmer of sunlight.
Banners welcoming Karuza High's team hung over the train station, and a crowd of people had gathered outside to cheer and wave.
With the train stopping by the station, people swarmed out with baggage in hand and looked surprised at the amount of crowd, not realizing why they were here.
At that moment, the crowd roared in excitement as Karuza High's members stepped out into the warm summer heat.
Coach Jin carried the trophy inside a wooden box and looked across the crowd with a stunned look.
He realized just how much the victory meant to the people of the Irio.
