"Teacher, y-you're back?"
Shisui was jogging past the shop entrance when he glanced inside and saw Kyoichi sitting there.
Kyoichi moved his book aside and took a look.
"Yes. I came back and saw you all working hard at your training, so I didn't disturb you."
"Yes."
Shisui walked in.
He looked around, seeming to want to say something but hesitate.

They might not pass, but getting a glimpse of the other teams' strength would still be worthwhile.
Asuma took the opportunity to sit down and freeload on the food.
