Just after Katsu had returned, the matches for the first round had just finished after Izumi and Jun had been checking out the other matches. 

Coach Ukai had assembled everyone outside the locker area when Izumi and Jun had also returned. "Alright guys, the matches today have ended. We're going to have the next round matches tomorrow so have a big rest and eat big. Okay guys? Don't do some funny practice lessons after school! Takeda has gotten us a bus so let's get going." 

"Right!" Everyone said in unison, game faces on, though they didn't have to play for some time.

Before exiting the building, we saw Johzenji head out before us. Katsu called out to their captain, waving at him with an ever so unwavering smile. "KOMATSU!!" 

Masashi and his team looked back to find Katsu jogging towards them. Masashi was returning back his wave, offering his own little smile in return.

"Hey Nazumi, are you all leaving yet?" Masashi had asked curiously, tilting his head to one side. 

Katsu ignored the question and approached with his right fist extended, anticipating a fist bump. Masashi laughed at his remark and walked towards Katsu as their team looked on.

"What's Komastu doing?" One pointed out.

"Is he friends with that Karasuno captain?" The other, asked his friend, who looked as equally confused. 

"What's he doing now??" 

Masashi's teammates exchanged curious glances and murmured among themselves, looking from one to another and then at the pair. 

"I'll win the next game for you, Komatsu." Katsu stated when Masashi was close enough, cheekily smiling as they both gathered. 

"I know you will, Katsu. It's a fact."

The two fist-bumped and shared a smile with each other. 

"Unlikely captains making small friendships. Way to go Nazumi." Masato whispered to himself on my left just as Johzenji's captain marched back to his team. 

Katsu returned to the rest of us, who were stunned at his little incident. "Let's get back to school now and get ready for our matches tomorrow, alright?" He suggested, pulling both Shigeo and Uchi by their forearms. "Cmon!"

"Y-Yes everyone! let's get going now just like your captain said!" Coach Ukai stuttered as he regained his composure.

Back at school, Uchi was called into the faculty room to talk to someone just as the rest of us went back to the gym. 

"Okay everyone," Coach Ukai presented. "We will be having a match tomorrow so please everyone, rest up and eat properly. Training will be cancelled today afternoon so DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT, be training here without my permission! Uchido will be back soon so I'm hoping one of you will tell him what I said. Yes?"

"Yes coach!" 

Just as I was heading to our club room with Izumi and Shigeo, we spotted Uchi heading back to the gym. 

I told the two I'd be telling Uchi what coach Ukai had said as long as they went to the club room to get changed and ready to go back home. 

"Okay Yamaguchi!" 

I adjusted my bag on my back and hurried to catch him before he entered the gym, nearly tripping over my own feet in the process."Uchi! Over here!" 

"Oh, hey Yams!" He paused his right arm from opening the door to the gym. "Are you all you going to the club room?"
