[00:02] EBIHARA
    The Inter-High prefectural qualifiers
    will be taking place after Golden Week.
[00:06] EBIHARA
    Like we do every year,
[00:08] EBIHARA
    we'll be playing ranking
    matches to determine our lineup.
[00:13] EBIHARA
    All team members, both
    singles and doubles players,
[00:16] EBIHARA
    will play one-game matches in a round robin.
[00:19] EHIBARA
    I believe it's the fairest way to pick our
    regulars, and one that'll satisfy everyone.
[00:26] YUSA
    I won't hold back.
[00:28] YUSA
    Whoever I play, they're getting crushed!

[02:15] MATSUDA
    Can you really use one-game matches
     to measure someone's ability?
[02:20] TAICHI
    It does seem like it'd favor fast starters.

[17:39] ISSHIKI
    Aw, shucks.
[17:42] RYO
    On the second day of ranking matches,
[17:45] RYO
    I only managed to score
    five points against Yusa-san.
[17:56] RYO
    But that night, I was so excited,
    my head wouldn't stop buzzing.
[18:17] SAKAKI
    Oh, Matsuda! Hey, Matsuda!
[18:21] SAKAKI
    The singles ranking matches end today.
[18:26] SAKAKI
    I'm sure our efforts have made an impression
    on the older players and Ebihara-sensei.
[18:32] TAICHI
    Dunno about that.
[18:34] YOJI
    Dunno about that.
[18:36] AKIRA
    As someone who hasn't won a single game yet,
     I can't loudly proclaim I've tried hard.
[18:41] SAKAKI
    What d'ya mean? You stopped
    him from calling you "Aki-love."
[18:45] SAKAKI
    And as for you, you lasted seven
    minutes against the rotten prince.
[18:49] RYO
    Well, I guess.
[18:50] SAKAKI
    Right, Matsuda?
[18:53] MATSUDA
    I'm trying to place fourth
    in these ranking matches.
[18:57] RYO
    Huh?
[18:58] SAKAKI
    Fourth?
[19:00] TAICHI
    I see.
[19:01] YOJI
    So that's your plan?
[19:03] AKIRA
    What do you mean?
[19:05] YOJI
    The top three players get to play
    singles at the regional tournament.
[19:11] TAICHI
    On our team, that'll be Yusa-san,
    Yokokawa-san, and Captain Hongo.
[19:15] TAICHI
    But to be honest, from fourth
    down, it's all up for grabs.
[19:20] MATSUDA
    If you rank fourth, depending on the
    situation, you might get on the bench.
[19:24] MATSUDA
    So even as a first-year, you'd get
    a shot at playing in the Inter-High.
[19:28] RYO
    Wow. That's what you've been thinking about?
[19:32] MATSUDA
    You're so carefree, Mizushima.
[19:35] MATSUDA
    It does mean winning the
    rest of my games, though.
[19:42] MATSUDA
    So I won't lose to you.
[19:49] BOTH
    It's a declaration of war!
[19:51] SAKAI
    Hey now, wait a minute.
    I'm playing Mizushima next.
[19:56] MATSUDA
    Class is starting.
[19:59] RYO
    Ah, I should go, too.
[20:02] YOJI
    Later!
[20:04] AKIRA
    See you after class.
[20:06] SAKAKI
    Once the ranking matches are over,
     we're all on the same team, y'know!
