Synopsis

The chapter begins with the protagonist recounting their near-fatal fight, where they faced an opponent they couldn't defeat despite their immortality. This leads them to decide to seal their immortality, seeking a true experience of death. Simultaneously, a major upset occurs in a tournament where Team SM, missing their two ace players, defeats a highly ranked team. This victory fuels the confidence of an opposing team's captain, Chris Alderline, who dismisses Team SM's strength and prepares to crush them in the next match.
