One and half an hour later, the gymnasium building next to the Tsunemori High had been crowded by people already. While most of them were students from the school who wanted to support their favorite team, there were also some who came from the neighborhood to spend their time with family, and some even came with a camera and a notebook on their hand.
This game attracted so much attention since this was the first game of this round, and whoever won today would ensure the first spot in the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium earlier than any other team in Tokyo. More than that, as the teams left in the tournament kept getting fewer, people also started to notice the uprising team too, since only those who were strong enough were able to survive the first four rounds of the tournament.
"Oi, Yuki, how is the team's preparation today?!" A boy from the senior year, Shimada, if Yuki remembered correctly, greeted him when he was about to enter the building.
