IN THE MIDST OF BUSYNESS, Coach Washijo is not a very reasonable person; he would only add to your already overwhelmed life with another heavy blow.

—After participating in the training match between Shiratorizawa and Aoba Johsai, Kobayashi Aotori dragged his tired body back home.

It's fortunate he is a day student. If he lived on campus, Kobayashi Aotori could guarantee that the teachers and coaches wouldn't let him go.

It's just because of the pressure from the imminent graduation of Ushijima Wakatoshi and others that the exploitation of them has slightly lessened. Kobayashi Aotori couldn't imagine how much more burdensome it would become for him and Goshiki once the third years graduated.

Now, he can only hope that the next wave of newcomers will have a few outstanding players to slightly divert Coach Washijo's attention from him.

Lying on the sofa, Kobayashi Aotori felt his arms were too heavy to lift, but he still had his homework to complete.

His current stock knowledge was enough for the exams, but not being entirely grounded for tomorrow's lessons and potential tests meant he needed more reviews.

This is probably the feeling of being able to get into college just by exams, but still struggling with the current junior high homework load.

Interrupted by his strange metaphor, Kobayashi Aotori stretched lazily.

Today's match against Aoba Johsai was quite tricky. Unlike Karasuno who was quick to decide, Aoba Johsai excelled in balance and cooperation. Coupled with the much-improved teamwork compared to the original, Oikawa's leadership left him mentally and physically exhausted.

Was it an illusion, or did he notice that when Oikawa spotted his dead fish eyes, the joy in his eyes seemed to increase?

I must have seen it wrong. After all, how could someone be so bored that they would be thinking about such things during the game, like a grade schooler?

Little did he know that his quiet behavior was seen as a sign of ridicule by a certain elementary school student named Oikawa Tooru

—Though only he would think so.

After all, leaving aside Iwaizumi for now, Kindaichi could not be happier with the reduced frequency of Kobayashi Aotori's taunts, let alone think so much about it.

Kobayashi Aotori didn't know that he had unintentionally become an unforgettable person even in old age.

—Kobayashi Aotori subconsciously touched his elbow, which had become stiff and numb.

It makes sense; after all, entangling with Aoba Johsai multiple times led to the ball hitting his arms more often, especially in interschool matches where the force was greater than usual, resulting in swelling much more than usual.
