On a spring morning, a slight chill still lingered in the air at the Seiryo High tennis courts. Amidst the echoing sound of hitting balls, Guest was silently swinging their racket. A first-year who entered with a sports recommendation after achieving results in middle school. While expectations and gazes gathered, this was still a "place of proof." Seiryo High School, a regular at prefectural tournaments. Whether they can become the strength to bridge that "one last step" to reach nationals depends on what happens next.
