End of Chapter 109:

"Dudu——"

The sharp whistle sounded, awakening the audience who were a little tired after watching four games.

Of course, this "audience" does not include Tianhai and his team - they are still watching every ball with full energy. They can see clearly which shots are well played and which shots are unfortunately played.

Aoba Josai Volleyball Club graduates Ueda Gosuke and Maebashi Kaisho, who also came to watch the game, also sat next to Amami during the second game.

"This situation is our disadvantage now."

Maebashi in the audience saw Qingcheng's dilemma through the stalemate score.

"Although the current score is two to two, judging from Shiratorizawa's performance in the last game, they still have an advantage against us."

"These juniors have really made great progress. Now Maebashi and I are probably the same as before. I’m out of rhythm.”

Ueda looked at the outstanding juniors with both relief and anxiety.

"But our main attacker will be guarded by the opponent the moment Oikawa shouts, and even if we know that Shirabu is going to pass to Ushijima, it will be difficult to block and score."

Shirabu, who was resting, was standing in the rest area, counting Ushijima silently in his mind. The number of island attacks and the probability of being caught. There was a little surprise in his calm eyes.

If this continues, it is completely feasible!

Contrary to Shirabu's secret joy, Touji's usually smiling face was indeed gloomy.

"How damn, if I could stop Ushijima..."

With Matsukawa's cooperation, the two of them could also stop Ushijima's ball. But due to the need for rotation, it is obvious that he and Matsukawa cannot always block the ball together.

"Don't be nervous." Iwaizumi patted him on the shoulder. "Try as much as you can. I will also participate in blocking in a while."

Judging from the current score difference and rotation, as the targeted main attacker, he now needs to share a little blocking. pressure. Iwaizumi looked at Oikawa out of the corner of his eye.

——Can this guy come up with anything?

Oikawa, who was being watched by him, was completely immersed in his own thoughts...

"

Oikawa,"

Tianhai stood in front of Oikawa after the solo practice ended one night.

"Your ability to lift the ball is now among the top in the country. But there is still room for improvement, which is to provide an excellent output environment for your teammates."

Tianhai casually picked up the volleyball and gave a demonstration while playing. .

"You will call your teammates when you are attacking in the second pass, right? Let the opponent mistakenly think that you are calling the main attacker. It is similar to the principle.

One is to create a good environment for yourself, and the other is to create a good environment for your teammates."

Tianhai did it with his fingers. He made a few nimble moves and pulled Hinata and Iwaizumi who were passing by innocently.

Next, Oikawa saw Tianhai leaning into Hinata's ear and whispering: "Xiangyang, you are my trusted student. If it is a very critical moment later, I will pass it on to you."

...

Then he said the same thing to Iwaizumi.

"Like a veteran liar..." Oikawa complained reluctantly, his face full of eagerness that he didn't even know he had.

Tianhai shrugged, "Senior liar, that's not a bad title. It's much better than what my opponents said when we played before."

"Huh? Teacher, what have you been called before!"

"Well...I But the title of main attacker and setter cannot be mentioned to me~"

"He is indeed a senior liar!"

...

"Huh..."

The memory of the chat with Tianhai later that day has been forgotten. It was blurry, but the phrase "I even cheated on my teammates" seemed to be engraved in my mind and could not be erased.

"Sure enough, am I also a reserve for the senior liar?"

Oikawa couldn't laugh or cry. He would probably be dealt with by his teammates after this game. But now

- he suppressed the emotion on his face, turned around and took a deep look at the audience behind him.

Her golden hair stands out among the crowd. The distance was so far that it was difficult to see the expression on his face, but Oikawa guessed that it must be full of encouragement.

It's like he guessed his own thoughts. The golden head nodded slowly.

"Do what you think is right, and don't be afraid of failure." Taking

another deep breath, Oikawa stood on the field amid the referee's urging.

——Five-game system, two wins and two losses. In the last game, whoever gets fifteen points first will get the opportunity to continue to grow.

"It is said that in sports competitions, people can only remember the first place." Tianhai looked at Ushijima, who was also ignited with passion and belief in winning, "but there is one person who can definitely remember the second place."

These words are the same as those for the first time . What he said when he arrived at the Sendai City Stadium was completely different. Hinata suppressed the desire to continue watching the game and asked Xiang Tianhai.

"Who is it?"

"Of course, the first place who fought hard with the second place and was bruised and bruised to win."

No matter whether Shiratorizawa or Aoki wins, the loser will not give up. I will only remember this sour result and challenge it again when the time comes next time.

"What a group of challengers." There was emotion hidden in his blue-green pupils.

...

"Chance ball!"

Shiratorizawa's key server was Eita Semi. Since the opponent was replaced by Shirabu as the starting setter, he began to seriously practice the "serve" technique

- this is the only offensive method he can do as he pleases on the court in Shiratorizawa.

"Nice job!"

"Machii!"

"I'll do it!" Machii on the field knelt down without hesitation in the face of the fast-moving ball, lowered his body to the ground and raised his arms, "Oikawa, go on!"

"Very well !" A great pass!" The setter did not forget to praise the libero in his busy schedule, "Koiwa, Kyotani!"

The two people who were called by their names tacitly started to run. In the eyes of Shiratorizawa who wanted to make a sword, General Oikawa The ball was sent to Kentaro Kyotani, who came on the rotation.

"Dudu——"

"One point!" "Again and again!"

The field was completely ignited, and the ball alternated rapidly between the two games. Every minute, the situation on the field is very different.

"Good serve, Oikawa!"

Just when the score between the two sides was close to 15 points, the game was about to end. Oikawa, who was standing at the tee point, suddenly looked towards the audience again.

The emotions contained in this glance were very complex. Even with Shiyi's help, Tianhai could not distinguish the emotions that the other party wanted to express.

The next second, a broadcast made Tianhai's mind go blank.

[The final points for the "Gift from Another World" you pre-ordered are sufficient. Do you need to redeem it now? ]

"Final...points?" Tianhai blanked his mind for a full two seconds before he realized this. Zaiyi shouted silently amidst Shiyi's surprised screams.

"Redeem! Redeem now!"

[The "Gift from Another World" you purchased has been distributed. The final points balance is: 0. Please continue to complete the task. 】

Tianhai leaned back heavily on his chair. He felt a little weak at this time despite not feeling tired after playing golf for a whole day.

"Hey-ha!!"

"Come on! Aoba Josai!"

"Shiratorizawa! Shiratorizawa! The strong winner of the national competition!"

Balls fell to the ground one after another, and some students in the cheering group even threw them He covered his face with the cheering stick, not daring to watch this game that made people's hearts beat up and down.

An old lady covered her heart and supported the arm of her granddaughter who came with her. "Next time, think about my body as an old man! You can't stand being scared when you are old!"

The granddaughter was silent for a while, "Then will you come next time? "

...Come on."

"Quickly, chance ball!" Daping's movements were a bit eager, standing in front of Ushijima, the easiest position for Qingcheng.

"One touch!"

"Ushijima-senpai!" Shirabu seized the opportunity and gave a super high-level pass.

"Great pass, will Ushijima get this point?" The explanation was brief and concise, waiting for Ushijima's reaction.

With everyone watching, Ushijima broke the block with one ball and scored a crucial point.

"Bang!!——"

The whole stadium echoed with the deafening sound of this ball. At this point, Aoba Jonishi's score is 13:13 with Shiratorizawa, evenly divided.

"Hey, I originally wanted to say such a crucial point, but it's a pity that I lost it." Kuroo, who was watching the game, rubbed his forearm and began to sympathize with Touji, who looked as usual.

"Now it seems that saving his arm is something worth celebrating..."

Tianhai rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. "I trained Touji's pressure resistance before. That day he accepted the serve from Iwaizumi, Kyoutani and me."

After saying that, he seemed to have heard something, and his expression changed.

["Gift from Another World" has been released. 】

A guitar prelude suddenly came from the audience, attracting everyone's attention. Even the players who were waiting to serve were slightly stunned for a moment, but fortunately they adjusted in an instant.

"Huh?..."

"Where's the music coming from?"

[The body's cells are burning, as if it is igniting the cells in the body]

The sound of the music did not disturb the court at all. people. According to the current situation on the court, whoever surpasses the opponent by two points first in the end will be the winner!

While listening to the lyrics and watching the game, the audience was so excited that they wanted to shed tears.

[The cup is empty and the breath is as deep as possible]

"Ushijima-senpai!" Shirabu trusted Ushijima with all his heart. At this critical moment, he firmly believed

that as long as he left it to Ushijima-senpai, there would be nothing question!

[Blood and sweat を载に槧れを圣火に, contribute blood and sweat and use this vision as a holy fire]

"I'll do it!!"

Machii, just like last year's qualifying finals, caught Ushijima's ball and passed it to Oikawa, Shocked the whole audience.

"Thank you! Matsukawa!" Oikawa's clear voice was hoarse, and his movements did not stop at all as he handed the ball to Matsukawa.

[Scream at the loudest volume, shout with all your strength]

"Center defense!" Hayato Yamagata, a libero from Shiratorizawa standing on the last sideline, pounced forward and lifted the ball.

However, the ball flew straight to the sideline.

"14:13!!"

"One more goal! One more goal!" [

光あれ, shine]

"Good serve!"

"One more goal!!!"

Kiri, starting with a signal of prayer for the future]

"I caught it!" Nakakuru's arm was hit by the ball and dropped more than ten centimeters. With a "bang!", the ball hit the height of the ceiling.

Tendo quickly looked around and saw the Qingcheng field opposite. At this point on the opposite side, only Iwaizumi and Kagiya were suitable to be the main attackers.

However...

"Oikawa... you don't dare to pass the ball to Iwaizumi who is being stared at by Ohira and Kawanishi, right? I understand! I understand!!"

"Then this is it, little rabid dog?"

He Run in front of Kyotani at a constant speed and prepare to defend.

[Hikaru, shine,]

"Eh?!"

"Second pass attack!" "The attacker is, it's Oikawa himself!!"

"Wha...what?" Tendou turned around, his eyes wide. Large, looking to the rear. Hayato Yamagata lay on the ground with an unwilling expression.

Unlike the players who stood quietly in Shiratorizawa, the volleyball was still rolling, indicating the result of the game.

【行け黑を行にして, move forward! Let the darkness be the runway] "

Okay!!! Winner!!"

"Aoba Castle! Victory!! National Competition!!"

"Dominate the court!"

Galloping on the ground]

"Thank you for your support! See you in the national competition!"

The Qingcheng players put their hands on the shoulders of their teammates and bowed in unison.

Zhonghe looked at Tianhai who was slowly walking down the steps, shaking his team uniform in his hand, and sprinted over in an instant.

"Coach Tianhai!! We won!! We can go to the national competition again!"

"Okay, you performed great!" Tianhai put his hands on Zhonghe's waist and lifted him high.

When the Qingcheng team members saw his action, they all pounced on him like wolves that smelled meat.

"Hey!! Hey!! Wait, I can't leave!"

Tenkai was surrounded by the crowd and walked to Coach Irihata and Coach Mizoguchi.

"Isn't this great? It was great to motivate our players during the break!"

Coach Mizoguchi suddenly had tears in his eyes, "I'm so nervous, Tenkai! My heartbeat almost stopped in the last game!"

Touji He stepped forward and grabbed Coach Mizoguchi's arm tightly,

"To be honest, me too!"

This sentence seemed to open up a conversation, and the Qingcheng players couldn't hold back.

"Ushiwaka's pressure at the end was too strong!"

"We are not bad either! Oikawa, your last setter attack really stole the show!"

"The moment you hit him, I wanted to join your backup Yes!"

Oikawa wiped the sweat from his head to avoid being blinded, "Don't admire the super high school level players too much~"

"Ah! Coach, look at him!"

Aoba

Chengxi refused again ! During the reporter's interview, I walked to the bus and prepared to set off back to school.

The sky is a washed blue, with white clouds floating softly in the sky. The sun penetrates the clouds and casts golden light spots.

"See you on Tuesday!"

"See you on Tuesday!"

Students stood behind Tianhai, who put all the Qingcheng students on the bus and watched the Qingcheng bus slowly drive away.

[Shine your light, rather than the despair of an uncertain future, I believe more in the glory that lies further ahead. 】

---------------------

Just as Tianhai turned around, a shout came from behind.

"Teacher! Wait for me! Xiaoyan, hurry up!"

"That's so long-winded! I'm leaving!"

- It turned out to be Oikawa and Iwaizumi carrying their own backpacks.

"Why are you back? Aren't you celebrating with your teammates?" Tianhai looked at the Qingcheng bus that was setting off again not far away.

Oikawa scratched his head, "I still want to celebrate with you! Welcome Oikawa-sama!"

The students finally found the opportunity to express their long-planned complaints -

"Your last setter attack was so insidious!

"So cunning!" "

Is he really a scheming setter?"

"And the smile after success is like a bastard!

" Don’t think that I didn’t know it was you who was hiding in the crowd!”

Upon hearing Gong Yoo’s voice, which he had never dealt with, Oikawa rushed into the crowd, ignoring his exhausted body just after the game.

"You idiot, don't pretend to be me!"

"It's all sweaty, so disgusting..."

"Okay, okay, let's go eat quickly! Our stomachs are empty!"

...

"It's so good. , Ashu. "

Both the students and the partner Ashu are great.

Tianhai followed the noisy students walking forward with a familiar smile on his lips.

"Hey, Shiyi. Tell me, what will you put in the [Gifts from Another World] you buy next time?"
