Chương 183: Dedication

"Alright, we're here. Everyone out! We'll hold the meeting in our dugout." - Coach Yamada announced after parking the bus and instructing his players to get off. The Shoto players quickly rose from their seats and made their way toward the dugout.

Everyone sat on the benches while Coach Yamada stood in front of them, his expression serious as he scanned each of his players.

"As you know, we'll be competing in the Kanto tournament next week. We don't yet know who our opponents will be, but we do know how the tournament will work. The 16 qualifying teams will face off in knockout games. This means, if we manage to win it all, we'll be playing four games." - Coach Yamada explained, observing his players' reactions. Although they seemed excited, their serious gazes showed they understood the gravity of the upcoming tournament.
