The truth of the situation can't be denied. Of that collective, I'd be the weakest.

Of course, that doesn't mean I'm going to just resign something like this over to someone else. Tadokoro-san entrusted us with his will, and I wouldn't leave you to take all of that on by yourself. I'll be working to improve enough to be someone deserving of a Sohoku number.

[ Teshima takes the position of 'average' well, he thinks. It's not something to be ashamed of. If someone talented wants to try and replace him, it better be prepared to fight him for it. ]
