章 52: The End (I)

Miura furrowed his brows once again. He had lost count of how many times he did that during this set, just showing that the game didn't go in the direction he wanted. And no, it wasn't because of Ezaki's situation, but also for Tsunemori's resilience. Their opponent was able to survive no matter how hard they kept attacking, even to the point that they looked like they were about to fall on the spot. The four-point lead they had earlier even shortened to only one this time, and the frustration shown by his players was real.

Once again, Miura cursed his luck to meet such a troublesome opponent in the first round.

'Why in the hell do they have to be in the first round too? With this kind of stubbornness, they should be able to reach a good position last year and at least be placed automatically in the second round right now.'

However, he wasn't worried at all, especially considering what he heard from the opponent's bench side.
