"So, you mean to tell me that there is no sports team anymore at your school?" the voice on the phone asked incredulously.
"Yes, Mattheo-san, that is indeed the case." Yuki felt himself blush, embarrassed by the tone he heard on the other end of the line. "Now, I don't have a team anymore, and I cannot help Akira-sensei with his problem as I promised. I am so sorry about it."
It was the first time Yuki had spoken to Mattheo since the team lost to Konan High, and he was honestly nervous to deliver the news. However, Mattheo was his benefactor and deserved to know the truth, so after mustering his courage, Yuki decided to call him and share the full story.
