"Good job, Ezaki-kun! You are our hero in the second set!"
"Yeah! Without you, we will never be able to achieve that!"
"I swear, you are a Godsend for this team!"
"Come on, let's do this again in the final set!"
Even before they left the court for a short break, all the Shimo High players took their time to greet Ezaki, high-fiving the boy and praising him highly for his contribution in the second set. It wasn't exaggerated to say that he alone lifted the team to the sky after they just fell to hell in the first set.
Of course, for Ezaki who was always the public enemy since the incident involving him one year ago, this positive attention was a good thing.Still, after being isolated for so long, he had developed some sort of shy and withdrawn personality, and this kind of attention was enough to make him flustered.
