The chapter ends with the announcement that the summer is over, and the new team is ready to take revenge on the previous summer's champions. The chapter opens with a soliloquy by Tetahashi, who tells us that he's been staying late at school and at home all day. He says that his roommate snores too loudly, and that the team has been gathering together after their upperclassmen have finished their solo practice. They've been working hard, he says, and they're starting to build up their swings again. He praises the team for their hard work, and says that they've got a lot to learn from them.
