Maeda(no nickname) was an incredible callback. I laughed really hard at that little joke.
Plus this one was so much fun. Kamiyama has started to make some followers! Hayashida suggests finding out Freddie's blood type without thinking ahead, Kamiyama goes all out with it believing its the way to go, and Maeda goes along with them in faith. Freddie may or may not have known they were watching and did that for fun, or he really is unpredictable... And, there was no step 2 to begin with. Good stuff.
Why does your book have something about sudden push ups but not lack of stamina..??
