Ahem…
Reiko Aida coughed twice, trying to cover up her embarrassment with the coughs.
Then, she forced herself to calm down and spoke slowly.
"Everyone, I know you are all feeling extremely uncomfortable right now. However, the fact has already happened. No matter how depressed or frustrated we are, we cannot change the situation. Donghuang Daoyuan is much stronger than we thought. Whether we defeat them today or unfortunately lose to them, at least we have tried our best, right?"
Her voice was steady and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a heavy force, hitting everyone's heart heavily.
She paused, then glanced at everyone with a sharp gaze and continued.
"We just have to give it our best and leave no regrets."
As soon as the words fell, the entire Chenglin rest area fell into a dead silence.
No one spoke, and the air seemed to be frozen.
Everyone stood or sat quietly, as if they were carefully savoring every word that Reiko Aida had just said.
Each word was like a heavy hammer, striking their hearts and making them fall into deep thought.
After a long while, Hinata Junpei was the first to stand up.
Although his movements were slow, they were firm.
He spoke slowly.
"Really? I was already very depressed because of the loss, but after hearing what you said, I have no reason to be depressed anymore."
There was a hint of helplessness on his face, but his eyes revealed an unyielding light.
He bit his lips tightly, as if secretly vowing to go all out and create a future for the team.
"Really? I was feeling depressed because of the loss, but now that you said that, I can't find any reason to be depressed anymore."
Hinata Junpei frowned slightly, his words carrying a hint of helplessness, yet also a sense of relief after being enlightened.
There was a smile on Muji Teppei's lips, and that smile was as warm as the sunshine. He stretched out his broad palm and gently patted Hinata Junpei's shoulder.
"Haha... you're right. Although it may sound like you're using this as an excuse, all we can do now is give it our all."
His voice was calm and firm, as if injecting strength into everyone.
"Take your hands off me, you bastard."
Hinata Junpei dodged Kiyoshi Teppei's hand with disgust, his face full of displeasure.
There was a hint of stubbornness in his eyes, as if he was guarding his territory.
Muji Tieping disagreed and continued speaking with a smile.
"What does it matter? We are teammates."
His smile is full of tolerance and understanding, making people feel his deep friendship with his teammates.
Hinata Junpei frowned and refused firmly.
"No means no."
His tone was strong, yet tinged with childishness.
Seeing their captain and the team's spiritual pillar playing together, the gloom in Seirin and the others' hearts dissipated a lot.
Kagami and Kuroko both showed a relieved smile on their faces.
Their eyes became bright, and the fire of fighting spirit that was about to go out in their eyes was rekindled at this moment.
…
The atmosphere in the audience was tense and heated.
People's eyes were fixed on every move on the court, their hearts filled with anticipation and nervousness.
"Oh my! They are no match at all! That Gingetsu didn't even make a single shot and he's already 17 points ahead of Seirin. It looks like there's no suspense in this match anymore."
Ye Xiaotaro frowned slightly, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
He was originally quite looking forward to this game. After all, when they played against Seirin before, Seirin's performance was quite good.
But he didn't expect that Seirin, who could fight back and forth with his own team, would be so poor in front of Touhuang Doin.
Mibuchi Reio replied lazily.
"Isn't this something we expected from the beginning? Although Seirin's strength is pretty good! But this is only compared to those ordinary teams."
His voice was lazy and flat, as if he already knew the outcome of the game.
Genbuya Yongji also echoed.
"That's right. Donghuang Daoyuan is a team that even we have to take seriously. Seirin was defeated by us, so of course he is no match for Donghuang Daoyuan."
His tone was firm and confident, and he was full of confidence in the strength of Donghuang Taoist Academy.
…
Gao Wei looked at the eye-catching score on the electronic scoreboard and sighed angrily.
"Looking at this, Donghuang Taoist Academy is indeed better." There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, as if he felt helpless about the result of this game.
Midorima continued.
"The strength of Donghuang Daoyuan is far more than this. It can only be said that compared with the two, Seirin is too weak."
His voice was calm and objective, as if he was analyzing a chess game.
There was a hint of sharpness in his eyes, as if he could see through everything.
…
Huang Lai tilted his head, thinking with a distressed look on his face.
'I wonder if Xiao Hei and Xiao Huo can turn the tables?'
His heart was filled with worry and expectation, as if he was cheering for his friend.
…
Snap…Snap…
Murasakihara returned to his snacking state. His mouth kept moving, making crisp sounds.
Although he didn't say anything, his eyes contained inexplicable thoughts.
