Ryoma pulls on his boxing gloves and climbs into the ring without bothering to put on his headgear.
Just then, Nakahara enters the gym with Sera, the two of them deep in conversation. The moment they spot Ryoma in the ring, their discussion comes to an abrupt halt.
Nakahara immediately raises his voice. "Hey, Ryoma! What the hell are you doing? You've got a fight of your own coming up, and you're planning to spar with Kenta without even telling us?"
"And without headgear?" Sera adds, quickening his pace toward the ring. "Have you lost your mind?"
"No, no," Ryoma replies calmly. "We're just doing some technical drills, not sparring."
"Ryoma's helping me sharpen my defense," Kenta adds. "I won't hit him back."
"Oh, technical drills," Sera mutters, his concern easing. "Well, in that case, fine."
He immediately heads over to Hiroshi, and soon the two are engrossed in their discussion.
