Kaoru's up on his feet with the rest of the stands, a roar of applause and cheers booming in the gymnasium as they celebrate the team's victory. Not only was it a win, but now they're heading to Nationals, taking on Japan's very best collegiate players. Kaoru beams as he thinks that Tsukishima is one of those very best players; certainly all the other teams should be very scared of him.

Beside him, the man furiously scribbles something in his notebook, then gets up and elbows his way down the bleachers, heading towards the gym floor. Kaoru barely notices this, except that he ends up behind the man when he tries to get to the sidelines so he can congratulate Kei before he heads down to the locker rooms.
