Recap:

She saw Sekizan walking towards the both of them when he was suddenly stopped by Gion. "Captain! How'd I do today? I moved around a lot and tackled a lot of guys! Wasn't I amazing?" for some reason, it seemed like Gion had a pair of furry ears and tail for a second as he was waiting for Sekizan's praise.

Sekizan paused for a second, giving a smile to the first year, before pinching the latter's cheeks. "You didn't even touch the ball! You just ran around the field! And stop hitting everyone in the midriff! What happened to tackling their feet?! You've got a lot to learn!"

Hachioji placed the plate down and quickly moved to Sekizan's position. "Sekizan, you're taking it too far!"

"There's a lot to playing a flanker! We're going to hold a review meeting."

"Ehh?!"

On with Chapter 20:

3RD PERSON POV

"You guys are still here?"

Gion and Iwashimizu look up from the books in their hand to see (Y/n)'s head poking in the clubroom. She opened the door wider and let herself in with Sekizan and Hachioji following in behind her. They had come to the clubroom to lock it up and found that the lights were still on. Inside, they found that everyone except for the two first years had left.

"Go home already." Sekizan told them.

"Wait! Just a bit longer." Gion responded, "I'm studying how to play as a flanker."

"Have you learned the rules yet? That comes first." the first year immediately got intimidated but immediately forgot about it when Iwashimizu showed him something about flankers from the magazine he was holding. "Oh! Let me see!"

Hachioji, who was also watching the two, got reminded about his first year when he had met Sekizan and (Y/n). "It's like watching you guys back in the day." he said and his two best friends turned their attention towards him.

"What was that?... Sir?" Gion had overheard. "You guys have been playing since middle school, right?"

"No, they started in high school."

"What? Really?" Iwashimizu questioned.

"What club were you in during middle school, then?" Gion asked as he stood up and brushed the dirt off from his pants. "Baseball? Soccer?" the question was mostly directed to the captain, but he was curious on what the manager's club was too.

"The Going Home club." (Y/n) answered for him and Gion was shocked. "Seriously? I'd hate to be a part of your going home club."

"What did you just say?" (Y/n) pushed Sekizan away before he could intimidate their underclassman further. "Yep, and I joined the (club-name), but wanted a change when I entered high school."

"Why did you start playing rugby, then?" "Y-Yeah! I'd be really interested in hearing that story." the first years' curiosity grew at the knowledge of their upperclassmen's past.

Sekizan sighed as Hachioji looked proud, "I convinced Sekizan to join."

This peaked their attention even more. "But before that, clean up your things so we can lock up the club room." (Y/n) told them and they quickly placed the magazines back onto the shelves and exited the club room.

The first day at Kanagawa High School had ended and the first years were either roaming around the campus or immediately heading home. (Y/n) and Sekizan were walking around the campus to familiarize themselves with the place.
