At the beginning of the second half, the school's student body is in a daze. They've just watched a kid named Naorukami, who's just turned 9 years old. He's a "egomaniac," according to the students, who think he's going to be the next big star in the school. The students are so impressed with him that they've nicknamed him "the ego maniac" , which is a reference to the fact that he has a tendency to act like a "self-centered idiot" . The group is so impressed by the kid's skill that they keep sending him the ball, even though they know it's not going to go in the direction he wants it to go. They can't figure out a way to stop him, though, because the kid is just too good to be stopped. The crowd is so shocked that they start yelling at each other to stop the kid from getting the ball in the first place. The guys are so shocked by the crowd's behavior that they decide to take the ball and run around the school, just like they always do.
