Shortly after, they participate in specialized tennis practice that matches their specific playstyles. With the threat of Sadaharu Inui's new "Marvelous Surprise Inui Juice Excellent" awaiting any who fail to complete their daily tasks, the boys persevere through their exhaustion. A group of ill-mannered university students also arrive at the resort and demand to use the courts initially reserved for Seishun.
