As the game progresses, Kou tries to take everything in, learning from his mistakes and observing his teammates on the field. The game is tense and emotional, as every point brings Kou's team one step closer to defeating their rivals. However, halfway through the game, one of Kou's teammates gets injured and has to be taken off the field. The coach has no one to replace him, so he calls Kou onto the field.
Despite his lack of practice and preparation, Kou manages to hold his own on the field. His teammates are surprised and impressed by his sudden surge of skill, and the coach is even more impressed.
