"Amazing! Amazing, Brother Richard! Your school actually reached the top eight!"
Just when I thought I would get some peace and quiet after the strategy meeting with my friends, Adrian showed up out of nowhere. I smiled politely, trying to mask my exhaustion. Even though I hadn't actually done any physical activity, my mind felt drowsy from all that draining mental activity in the room. I had been watching replay videos over and over again, analyzing Kureha's fighting style repeatedly, and coming up with whatever countermeasures I could.
Not just Kureha, but for the core members of her team, just in case I had to face them. My team and I had discussed at great length the various strategies, tactics and skills that they could use. There was also great debate around the team match, and the near limitless permutations of possible combinations on the side of the Saint Teresa Academy team. Obviously it was impossible to cover all of them, but we did the best we could.
