Chapter 247: Quick, check for me—did something dirty stick to the ball?!

Fukuzawa First faces off against Keisei University Affiliated.

The air at the venue was heavy, and the atmosphere on the court was equally grave.

Sitting in the stands watching the match, the Quanzhen Guan group all wore expressions of extreme seriousness.

Because throughout the entire game, Fukuzawa First's conduct on the court had been truly despicable; every move hovered on the edge of a foul, yet their 'skill' was so good that unless caught red-handed, the referee found it hard to call a foul.

The captain of Keisei University Affiliated, consumed by rage, could not be stopped even as teammates tried to hold him back; with several people clinging to his body, he forced his way over to Fukuzawa First to confront them!

"You shameless bastards!"

"Are you proud of winning this way?!"

"Despicable!"

Number 7, Guqiao Kojiro, had a look so calm it was nearly empty. "Hmm? Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Did the referee call a foul on us?" Guqiao Kojiro asked Harai Kazuya standing nearby.

"Nope~" Number 10, Harai Kazuya, squatted on the ground, blowing bubbles at Number 5 who was sleeping soundly on the bench while chewing gum, and sneered: "Besides, of course I'm proud. Can't you tell? It's obvious! Has your brain been clogged for so long without a bathroom break?"

"Bastard!"

"Stop him..."

"Captain, calm down...!"

No one paid attention to the opponent's hysterical expression; scenes like this, Fukuzawa First had grown tired of seeing.

"Wake Seto up."

"He managed to sleep so soundly for 703."

"Hey!"

"The match is already over, Seto-kun!"

After waking Seto Kentaro, Guqiao Kojiro approached Hanamiya Makoto and lowered his voice: "I saw Quanzhen Guan; they're in the stands watching our match."

Hanamiya Makoto smiled.

"Finally, it's going to get interesting~"

"Otherwise, matches and all that are just too boring~"

The lights from the gymnasium dome fell on Hanamiya Makoto's lowered face; in the half-shadowed, half-lit gloom, Hanamiya Makoto revealed a sinister smile.

That smile was like an unbridled provocation, making the faces of the Quanzhen Guan group, who had been watching him closely, turn very ugly.

"Let's go back."

Led by Hanamiya Makoto, Fukuzawa First sent an extremely dangerous signal to the Quanzhen Guan group.

"In the next match, we'll take down Quanzhen Guan~"

"Next up is Shuutoku~"

"And then..."

"Maybe we'll even run into those brats who beat us last year~"

In the stands.
