They had to decide who to play against before the timer starts? That's unexpected.
I knew it. Barou was too egoistic and wouldn't work well with others. Plus it'll be good to get rid of competition. I forgot who's this new teammate but I hope we can learn more about him through this upcoming match. I still think Isagi will choose his old teammate in the end, even if he was planning to pick Barou at the start.
