"Should be here soon, right? That must be their bus."
"Looks like it. Get ready."
Outside the Kanto Tournament venue, a crowd of people who looked like fans seemed to be waiting for something.

Seven students in light-blue-and-black uniforms followed her. The crowd waiting outside the venue spotted one of them, a yellow-haired boy wearing a cap.
They immediately swarmed him, urging him to do his best in today's match and asking him for autographs.

The woman nearby spotted the student in a Seigaku uniform and a cap, and immediately called out to him.
"Hello. You must be Seigaku's Echizen Ryoma, right? I'm Coach Hanamura from Josei Shonan."
"Oh, hello. Can I help you?"
Hearing someone call his name, Ryoma turned around and asked.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. You're truly a remarkable talent.

If you joined us, I'm sure I could make you into the perfect masterpiece.
It doesn't matter if you wait until after the Kanto Tournament. Would you consider
