Currently, Koji couldn't help but feel excited. He tried his best to hide his trembling hand, didn't want to show any weakness or mess up in such a crucial situation. He couldn't help it though. Just like any other sophomore who experienced the disaster last year, he didn't have a high hope for this team. The thought that they were a weak team had already been planted inside his mind, and no matter what the coach and the optimistic freshmen like Yuki and Riku said, it wouldn't change his mind that they were a weak team.
That was why when the weak team managed to beat a far stronger team and match the intensity of another strong team, he finally started to feel optimistic. He began to imagine how it would feel to win this game, what would happen next and how amazing they would be treated by their peers. All of those images flew around his head one by one, and it somehow made him excited all of a sudden.
