Despite already entering October, the temperature in East Sea was still uncomfortably high. At four in the afternoon, the temperature even reached thirty degrees.
Perhaps due to the excessive heat, there weren't many spectators on the basketball court. Comparatively, the CS finals being held in the school's auditorium were crowded to capacity - the match was still half an hour away, but most seats in the auditorium were already taken.
The immense popularity of the CS finals was largely due to the recent conflict between N0.1 Team and Rookie Team A. Particularly, the furious online debates had created an unprecedentedly intense atmosphere for the match.
Additionally, the organizers valued this final showdown greatly, shifting the venue to the auditorium and carefully arranging the scene.
