The game continued and is now back to man-to-man defense once more.

Izuki, who is now in possession of the ball, passed the ball behind him toward Mitobe. Kasuga smirked at this. 'A random pass like that will never...' his eyes widened in shock when Kamiko appeared in his blind spot, tapping the ball straight toward Mitobe. 'H-How?! I thought she was guarding our teammate just then!?' As he turned to face the said teammate, he stared in shock. Kamiko was merely guarding him like before as if she really never left her mark.

Mitobe immediately took advantage of the chance and scored.

"What was that pass just now? It came back like a boomerang!"

"No, it didn't! It came back because someone tapped it."

Kise chuckled. "Looks like the so-called iron wall of Seiho's defense has never seen a pass from inside their walls before. Mikocchi was just getting started," he remarked.

The buzzer went off, signaling the end of the first quarter, with the game count currently being at 20-20.

"End of the first quarter!" The referee announced.

As the two captains were talking rather solemnly for the two-minute intermission, with the Seiho captain holding his fellow freshman player by the back of his jersey, Kamiko glanced to see the Seiho captain glaring at the bald player then, who looked like he was whimpering before he apologized.

The sky-bluenette was just about to drink from her bottle then when she heard Hyuuga speak.

"It's fine," Hyuuga said. "We got over it."

A whistle blew out.

"Seirin! Member change!"

Akashi raised an eyebrow as he watched both his female best friend and that Kagami guy walk back towards the Seirin bench, with the redhead having a scowl on his face. Two of the benched Seirin second years then entered the court in their stead.

"I see..." Akashi muttered to himself, figuring out what Seirin's plan is by benching both of their key members. 'The only ones that even stood a chance against him are Kami and that Kagami guy, but they can't do that if they're tired out.' He glanced at his best friend. 'With that Kagami guy having made four fouls already, all the more that he can't play.' He smirked.

'If Seirin wants to defeat Seiho without those two, I hope they have a game plan in mind. It's not going to be easy.'

.XxX.

A whistle blew out.

It is currently the fourth quarter, with the game count of 49-54, with Seiho in the lead. As this is the first time that Kamiko had actually seen the Seirin second years play without her or Kagami, she is interested to see how they'd fare, playing with a team that had been developing since the previous year.

Any basketball veteran would be able to tell that the playstyle that Seirin had developed around herself and Kagami are still in progress, with just how shaky the formation still is.

Kagami was surprised to find the silent Mitobe dunking, also showing his skill at hook shooting. The freshmen nearly sweatdropped when they learned that Koganei can shoot at all ranges, with his accuracy being 'so-so', thus resulting in him actually missing two free shots, much to Tsuchida's annoyance, the latter who actually specializes in rebounds.
