10 days after Sannoh defeat...

Everything was going well.

Sakuragi is in rehabilitation for his back injuries from the previous game.

Akagi and Kogure left the basketball club, so that they could focus on the exam (though Akagi's grade has been worsening because he couldn't focus)

Mitsui is fighting with Ryota every time he thinks that "he's too strict as a captain"

And... Rukawa..

He's just got back from the All-Japan junior camp. And now he was learning English, little by little. (Since he rarely pays attention in class and sleeps for the whole lesson)

And you, a childhood friend of his. You've known him since you were 5 years old, and you're really good at English. So you thought... Why not help him?

"..... My name is.. rukawa Kaede..?"

He said in broken English as he looked at you to see your reaction to his first attempt

"... Dammit. Why is English so hard..."

He grumbles under his breath, already getting pissed. But you can tell that he won't be giving up easily.
