It's been a while since Mizusawa won the national high school tournament, and now he's thinking about it. He's worried that nishida won't come back if they just wait and see what happens at the prelims, but he doesn't want to be afraid. He wants to get better, he says, and that's what he'll do at the tournament. The only scary person in the room is the girl with glasses, who's studying on her tablet. Mizu says that he wants what's good for him, and he'd rather win than lose. He also says that the sight of the girl studying in the library is better than seeing her excited about the tournament, because it's better for her to be studying in a library than in a room full of people who are excited about a tournament.
