Higo checked the clock for a moment, finding that it was still 8:22 in the morning. Even with everything that Higo had done this morning, from the little run to a small conversation with Fabian earlier, only 40 minutes had passed, and the training session, which was scheduled to be at 10:00, wouldn't start for at least one and a half hours.
That was probably why Torsten Frohling, the second team's head coach, was so surprised to see him here.
"Ah, Frohling-sensei, wie geht es dir?" Higo bowed immediately, asking in polite German.
This was a deliberate move that Kumiko told him the first time he met the head coach. First, unlike Japanese, Germans didn't use that many honorifics in their daily life. By using this honorific to greet the coach, it was a subtle way to flatter the man, as Frohling, who was not used to being called this politely, would have a good impression of Higo.
