Standing in front of the player dugout at Koshien Stadium, Lin Guanglai was filled with emotion: the same scenery, although he had seen it many times, always evoked completely different feelings each time he stepped onto the soft ground.
This time last year, they lost in the semi-finals to that year's champion, Konan High School, who achieved the rare feat of winning both the spring and summer titles—although a year has passed, Lin Guanglai still remembers the tears shed by his seniors after the match ended.
"Guanglai! We're here to cheer for you!!"
A familiar voice echoed from the stands—Lin Guanglai looked up to see a group of faces that were all too familiar: Suzuki Kensuke, Tsuchiya Ryota, Onoda Shunsuke... These seniors who had fought alongside him at this same moment last year had kept their promise and really came to the Koshien to cheer him on.
