In this chapter, the protagonist explains that he is from a high school and that his school is participating in the 93rd edition of the national school rugby tournament. He tells us that last year, his school won the tournament and that this year's tournament will be the same. The protagonist then shows us what he and his friends are up against in the first round of the tournament. They're all in the same bracket, so they're going to have to face off against each other in order to advance to the next round. He says that they've got a lot of training to do, but that they need something else to help them out. He wants to know if there's anything he can do to help his team. He asks if he can ask one of his team mates for some pointers. He suggests that they ask for a ball-handling lesson from someone like sumiyoshi or kamo san. He's going to show them how to do it.
