"Look! Is that Agostini-san from 1-B?"
"Yeah! But why is his expression so scary?"
"Well, maybe you haven't heard about it, but his volleyball team just lost a game yesterday and was officially disbanded by the school for good."
"Really?! I heard they did a good job in their tournament. It is a pity."
"What are you pitying about? Have you heard the rumor about how they were always favored by the headmaster? Now, they finally get the fair treatment like the other clubs, so I don't see a bad thing about it."
"There is something like that?!"
"Man, where do you live in the last few weeks? Under the rock?"
It was a day after the game between Tsunemori and Konan, and while Riku never expected a warm welcome, he was still surprised by the whispers full of taunts coming from the other students. He knew the club's current reputation wasn't at the best, but to say something so mean like that to the peers who just gave their all to represent the school was a low blow.
