Unexpectedly, he chose to make his move at this moment!
Nakagawa Natsuki could easily imagine the consequences with just a bit of thought. She knew many of the members who had quit, and had a clear understanding of their skills. To be blunt, Nakagawa Natsuki believed that several of them were far stronger than some of the current third-year members of the Wind Band Club.
Just as Duanmu Huai had said, it was precisely because they were skilled that they were confident and wanted to compete in the tournament to prove themselves. Even though they had been out of the club for a year, as long as they hadn't let their talents rust, their abilities were enough to overshadow some of the senior third-years.
From a purely skill-based perspective, Nakagawa Natsuki agreed this could elevate the Wind Band Club's overall capabilities.
But from a relationship standpoint... she was certain that those third-year seniors would absolutely not take it lying down.
