Kapitel 236: Game Against Konan High (VII)

In the end, it took the Konan team almost an hour—around fifty minutes, to be more exact—to take down Team A and win the first game. Although Team A managed to create some problems, as the game progressed, the quality difference between the two teams proved to be the decisive factor. It also didn't help that Konan, a veteran team that had just won the national tournament, was playing against a team that had formed only thirty minutes before this game, which put the odds significantly in favor of the host team.

Still, even after losing the game, no one in the building thought poorly of or laughed at Team A. After all, what they achieved in just one hour of playing against Konan High today was far better than what most schools in Tokyo could manage. Going toe-to-toe against the best team in the country was a feat that only a few teams had managed to achieve, and the fact that they did so was enough for them to receive praise from others.
