Yukimura sits up on his bed when he hears the team coming; when all of them are together, no matter how quiet they attempt to be, the sheer number of them creates noise that just can't be smothered.

"So?" He asks as they filter into the room.

"We won!" Everyone except Sanada choruses.

"Of course," Sanada then adds on. Yukimura nods and smiles.

"Who is lined up to be crushed by Rikkai next?" He asks.

"Fudomine Middle School," Sanada informs him. "They didn't participate last year; they were disallowed due to some kind of violence."

"Nothing compared to what some of us can do," Kirihara says cheekily. Yukimura pretend-frowns at him.

"Akaya, be good," he says.

"I'll try, buchou."

"They'll be nothing to worry about anyway, new team or not," Sanada sneers. "And whoever comes after that. We'll be the winners when we reach the Nationals."

"I'll be cheering for you all," Yukimura insists.

"Make sure to cheer for Sanada and myself," Yanagi says, "we're mixing up the line-up a little and playing Doubles 1 this time."

"I was getting sick of never reaching my own match," Sanada says with his arms folded. "This way I know I'll definitely get to play. Unfortunately, Niou, Marui, you guys won't."

Marui shrugs. "That's okay, you've got us all training so hard I'll enjoy the break, just this once."

"I wish I could be there to see it," Yukimura says, sounding terribly proud and content. The team he has cultivated can stand on their own and win even without his prescence beside them. "You guys are such a force to be reckoned with."

"Even more so with you, buchou!" Kirihara says loudly. "But since we don't have you right now, we'll make do. We'll pave the way right to the Nationals for you, with one defeated team after another!"
