Yukimura and Sanada weren't the only shocked ones. (Nearly) every member of the boys' tennis club has fallen deathly silent. Yukimura isn't sure how she managed to shake yips so quickly, but the lost point vexes him to an irrational degree. There was no reason for him to have let that past him.

"Yeah, we're fine," he assures Flayn, and feels his self-annoyance melt away. He wasn't going to let Fujimiya get a ball past him like that again.

Something has changed in their opponents' combination, however. Fujimiya's eyes no longer reflect wariness but passion. Yukimura's tennis thrives on negativity, and there's no longer any to be found in his original target. Well, there was still Sanada. He, too, would likely overcome it give time, but for the spell he was affected, that was a period of advantage. They would simply have to use it to seal the victory.
