บท 210: Opening Ceremony (2)

Music began to ring out in the stadium from the marching band at the same time as the line began to inch forward slowly. The teens began fidget in anticipation of stepping onto the field.

"Sendai"

As the team continued to inch forward, Ken listened for the school names ahead of them. Since they had entered the tunnels from behind, he could only see the teams that were close by.

"Shinjuku"

His grip intensified on the flagpole after hearing the most recent school name. It was their first opponents that they'd have to face, and Ken's first big test since he'd regressed.

Would he be able to overturn fate? He wasn't sure, but he was certainly going to give it his all.

"Osaka Toin"

A loud cheer erupted from the crowd at the announcement of the next team, startling a few players. Since they were currently in Osaka, this team could be classed as having home field advantage.
