The narrator and the other students discuss the results of the recent national tournament, which was won by the tenji seokuit educational foundation. They discuss the team's uneven performance, and the narrator wonders if the team is really as good as it looks. He also wonders if there is another great team in the country. The narrator says that he wishes they were wearing kimono, as it would make them look more like a "zak mill" . He wonders if they would have won the tournament if they had not been wearing kimono. He then wonders why the women in the tennis club were so impressed with him when he first arrived at the school, and wonders if she would have been able to learn as much as he did if she had stayed in Japan for a few years. He says that the women wanted to become "starting to be here" and carry it with them to the next national tournament. He thinks that in the next tournament, he will be reading the team lineups for the two schools, and he wonders if it will be enough to win the tournament.
