"According to my data," Inui began, "this is an unbalanced match. I don't believe this player was the one they intended to play Singles 1 originally."
"What? Why?" Eiji asked.
"He's just... Nowhere near Tezuka's level."
"It's almost a insult." Fuji said softly. "He's shaking."
"Huh?" Everyone's eyes went quickly to the opponent, who was indeed shaking, if only slightly at the knees.
"He's not going to win!" Horio exclaimed, folding his arms across his chest. "I bet he doesn't even get one point."
"Hey now, it's not even begun yet," Oishi said reproachfully, frowning a little.
"You never know what to expect."
The comments from Seigaku's side were almost more concerned than their opponents. Inui looked around and began to feel suspicion growing inside.
"You sense something too?" Fuji asked quietly, but the ever-perceptive freshmen also heard.
"What, Inui-senpai?" They asked.
"I don't know," he replied. "But, something. Let's wait for the match to begin."
As the rest of the team looked to the court, Inui pulled out his notebook thoughtfully. Fuji's eyes narrowed.
