I totally thought he'd go to the same high school as Yusa
Didn't Misaki go to Shiga to get away from Yusa? Lol
Misaki Shogo ran away
Pathetic lmao
\hMisaki Shogo went to Hirayama? Does he really hate Yusa that much?
Someone said Misaki Shogo had gone to Hirayama in Shiga to get away from Yusa.
He
ran away
from Yusa Kento
Hey...
It pissed me off because it was true.
So beat Yusa. Get stronger here. Do that, and...
I told myself I hadn't run away.
If I'd stayed in Kanagawa, I never would've stopped thinking about Yusa.
I came here to get stronger.
Yusa's faster than that.
Yusa would return that!

Yeah!
All right!
Hey, where's my Matsuda-kun?
Why don't you watch on your own phone?
I'm out of data for the month.
Now push that off to the side.
Listen here, you...
Classes are over. You need to go home.
Okay.
The badminton Inter-High?
Yeah.
Why not watch it on the projector in the common room?
What?
We can do that?
You can even use the wi-fi if you submit an application.
Then, why don't we make it a live event viewing?

Don't worry. He's got supple muscles.
Mizushima-senpai, are you all right?
This amateur massage isn't injuring you, is it?
Nah.
What's wrong, Mizushima?
I'm anxious.
Uchida-senpai. Um, Mizushima-senpai seems to be in a bad state, mentally.
What?
When I start thinking that the whole team could lose if I lose my match...
Don't think like that.
It makes me want to throw up.
I wonder how Yusa-san and Yokokawa-san overcome this feeling.
I see.
So even someone as absent-minded as you gets nervous, huh?
Why don't you give him some advice?
Unfortunately, I don't get nervous.
Hey, you'd better not say anything to him.
Seems like he wants me to explain it to you.
What?
That's what that meant?
You won't believe this, but even Yusa...
...is so scared he can hardly stand it.
What?!
Yusa-san's scared?
When his expression says, "Bow before me?" That Yusa-san?
Yusa's afraid he's actually weak and someone might catch up to him.
Really?
He's really worried about that?
He told me once that anxiety creeps up behind you and taps you on the shoulder.
So your only option is to run so it can't catch up.
I got permission from Ebihara-sensei.
We can run as long it doesn't affect your performance tomorrow.
Well then, shall we go, too?
"Preparation is the first step to success." Shall we get ready to ice their joints?
I'll do it.
Yeah!
You can go with them.

It's up to you.
Let's go.
I asked my coach to let me play against Yusa.
Nobody assigns their aces to play against each other.
But I wanted to play Yusa.
Yeah.
I came here to fight Yusa.
I never beat Yusa once in middle school.
But I got stronger at Hirayama.
I wanted to beat Yusa and prove that.
I'm sorry you got me instead.
Seriously. You'd better take responsibility for that.
Take responsibility?
I won't stand for someone who's been playing alongside Yusa being weak.
I didn't beat you once in middle school.
But I've gotten stronger at Yokohama Minato.
Fine. In that case, I should be looking down on you.
I'll show you that catching up to the best isn't so easy.
Mizushima's match is starting.
Isshiki, what are you guys watching? A movie?
The badminton Inter-High. They're in the semifinals.
Bat-min-ton?
That game people play during lunch break?
Yup, that's how most people view badminton.
Okay, okay. Let us show you to your seats.
Huh? What?
Stay a while and watch.
Hirayama is a tough opponent,
but I'm hoping you boys can shut them out in your three matches.
Yes, sir.
Let's go!
Yeah!
Mizushima-kun.
Yes, sir.
Let Misaki-kun go for winners, then return them.
That'll shatter his confidence.
That won't be easy.
I'd get it if you told him to prevent him from hitting winners,

Are you saying you can't?
Do you understand?
Not at all, but I'll do it.
He's grown, hasn't he?

Rock-paper-scissors to decide serve.
I've never lost a game when I've won with scissors.
I'll receive.
Don't get sucked into his mind games.
Oh, right. He's left-handed.
Mizushima-kun to serve. Love all. Play.
The cross shot.
A killer shot unique to left-handed players.
And again.
The angle's unbelievable.
I can't predict it 'cause his arm's behind him.
What am I doing?
He's left-handed, so hitting it there is...
...perfect for him.
I can't play like I usually do.
Yusa would've gotten that.

Mizushima...
What the hell? Mizushima-kun's losing.
He's been on the ropes since the start.
No way. Come on, don't scare me like that.
Hey, how's Mizushima doing?
Huh? He's playing Misaki. That brings back memories.
You guys used to play?
He played in Kanagawa in middle school.
Is he good?
He was unbeatable.
Focus. His left and right sides are just flipped, that's all.
A slice. The shuttle's running away from me.
Yusa-san and Yokokawa-san and the twins will definitely win their matches.
If I win, Matsuda and Yusa-san can save their strength.
A feint?
Reach it!
Mizushima-kun's back.
I know he fell for that one.
Was he always this strong?
He's...
He's getting stronger...
...as we play!

Yeah, he won the point!
What's this? Batminton?
It's not bat-minton. It's bad-minton.
It's so fast-paced.
The shuttle travels at 400 kph. It's the world's fastest racket sport.
If that thing got stuck in you, I bet you'd die.
No one's getting anything stuck in 'em,
but those two are playing like their lives depend on it.
Think he'll win?
What are you doing?
Watching the badminton Inter-High!
Oh, huh
Come check it out.
He won the first game after an incredible comeback.
The badminton team's Inter-High team event semifinal
is currently being streamed in the common room on the third floor of Building 1.
Wow...
Focus.
I was constantly switching schools.
Badminton was my only friend.
I kept looking upwards, believing Yusa was always better.
So I can't lose to someone who isn't Yusa!
I wanted to catch up to Yusa-san.
The more I chased him, the higher he climbed.
Yusa-san showed me there was always something beyond.
I'll show him how incredible Yusa-san is!
How can anyone get stronger in the middle of a match?
If he can do it...
...then I should be able to, too!
Yusa would get this back.
He's Yusa, too.
He just... surpassed me.
Game and match won by Mizushima-kun of Yokohama Minato High School.
Yeah!
Hey, you.
Where are you going for college? Tell me.
What? I haven't decided.
Then decide now.
Why now?
Because I'll either choose to go to a different college or the same one as you.
What? What are you talking about?
You'd better not run from me.
Not next year, or the year after that.
I wasn't thinking much about the future.
But I'm sure there are plenty more sights I haven't seen yet.
All right!
Yeah!
Yokohama Minato High School Advances to the Team Event Final
Tournament Day 3
It's time for the final.
As you know, our opponent is Saitama Futaba Academy.
I think it was just before summer last year that, aside from Team Yusa and Yokokawa,
we stood no chance against them in our practice match.
I'm sure they think they're better than us.
I expect all of you to do your very best. Now go get them.
Yes, sir!
