Tsukamoto Tsukushi is invited by his classmate Kazama Jin to play futsal because their team is lacking a player.

Tsukushi and Kazama, along with all the other first years who joined the soccer club, are forced to run outer laps as a collective punishment.

On the first day of joint training camp, Tsukushi overhears the students from other schools talk about Kazama's middle school days.

Coach Nakazawa carefully observes everybody at practice as he thinks about the line-up for the Inter-high tournament.

Tsukushi helps with the training of third-year Kasahara, who decided to quit after the Interhigh; the line-up for the Interhigh is announced.

Indou Kaoru, the captain of Seiseki's rival school, Saku High, appears before Tsukushi and invites him to play soccer.
