Chapter 18 Special Practice

The sunlight in early winter is dazzling and cold, and the courtyard of the Iikawa family is also covered with crystal clear ice crystals.

Iikawa Toru and Iwaizumi brought Iikawa Haruka to a volleyball hall they often go to. Originally, they wanted to practice in the yard, but the cold wave of the beginning of winter caught them off guard.

Iikawa Toru was in high spirits in the morning. He changed into sportswear, put on knee pads, and ran out. But in just a dozen seconds, he went back to the living room.

He rubbed his hands and shrank his neck: "It's so cold!"

Iikawa Toru went upstairs and asked Iikawa Haruka to put on thick clothes and pack her backpack. He said he would teach his sister how to play today!

So the three of them came to the volleyball hall on a beautiful weekend in the biting cold wind.

Iikawa Toru stood in front of Iikawa Haruka with a volleyball in one hand, and he looked like a steady coach.

"First of all, we have to stretch well. If we don't warm up well, we will get injured easily."

Iikawa Toru seriously gestured the key points and precautions of stretching. At this time, he looked quite serious.

Haruka Ichikawa and Iwaizumi clapped their hands like they were coaxing children and said in unison: "Oh~ Coach Ichikawa is so professional and awesome!"

Toru Ichikawa blushed and puffed out his chest: "Hehe! Of course!"

Haruka Ichikawa and Iwaizumi laughed and stretched each other. It was so easy to coax~

Haruka Ichikawa raised his hand after everything was ready: "Coaches, I want to learn how to spike and receive the ball."

Toru Ichikawa patted his chest and promised: "This is easy! I will teach you how to receive the ball, and Xiaoyan will teach you how to spike. I guarantee you will learn it once you learn it!"

"First, you need to put your hands together and make a fist, with your elbows facing inward..."

The two coaches' two-on-one luxurious teaching class was in full swing.

They practiced in the volleyball hall for a day on Sunday, and they continued to practice on Monday when Aoba Johsai rested. For the rest of the time, she asked Chimiya Eureka to practice behind the Shiratorizawa dormitory building.

Chimiya Eureka was like a ruthless ball-throwing machine, she kept throwing the ball, throwing it, and throwing it again.

She made a bitter face: "Why did you suddenly start practicing volleyball, Haruka?"

Haruka Ikawa panted and drank a few gulps of water and said: "There are some reasons. It's hard for you to practice with me. I will treat you to Morishita's limited Thousand Layer as a reward, okay?"

Qian Gong Yulika wiped the saliva from her mouth: "My highness, it's my honor to serve you!"

Haruka Ikawa was amused by her, what a little foodie!

After almost five days of practice, Haruka Ikawa and Tobio Kageyama made an appointment to meet in the park on Saturday morning.

Haruka Ikawa deliberately wore sneakers and light clothes to go out. The winter morning was hazy with wisps of mist. Haruka Ikawa specially arrived twenty minutes early to do warm-up exercises. In this cold weather, the body needs to be warmed up before exercise, otherwise it is easy to cramp and get injured.

After Haruka Ikawa was ready, Tobio Kageyama just arrived.

Kageyama looked at Haruka Ikawa, who was ruddy and breathing a little quickly. He actually wanted to meet the senior sister, but he didn't know what to say.

They haven't seen each other or contacted each other for nearly a week since they met in the last game.

He didn't know why he wanted to see her, but sometimes he couldn't help but think of her and the button in the amulet.

The amulet was given to him by his sister, but his sister no longer played volleyball; the button was given to him by her, and would she leave him one day?

He has been thinking about this question recently. He seemed to be constantly losing certain people and things, but the volleyball was always firmly in his hands.

Ishikawa Haruka raised his beautiful eyes: "Long time no see, I'm sorry to bother you by asking you out the day before the game."

Kageyama Tobio's eyes were full of seriousness: "Not a bother at all, I also want to see my senior." He wanted to tell her about the No. 1 of the Snow Hill he met that day.

Ishikawa Haruka was amused by the straightforward words: "Really? Can you practice volleyball with me today? Can you help me with the ball?" Ishikawa Haruka said as he took out a volleyball from behind the bench.

Kageyama Tobio's eyes flickered: "Yes, you can, but..." The senior sister would definitely not be able to catch his ball.

Oikawa Haruka moved his wrist: "Just do it the way you do it on the court, don't worry about me."

Kageyama Tobio nodded and warmed up on the side. Although he said that, the senior sister is very weak.

"Senior sister!" Kageyama Tobio slowed down the speed of the ball and lifted it.

Oikawa Haruka tried to reach it, but just brushed it a little.

Oikawa Haruka squinted his eyes. The speed of this ball was definitely slower than Kageyama's on the court.

"Come again!"

Kageyama knew Oikawa Haruka's hitting point after one pass. He adjusted and lifted a perfect ball for Oikawa Haruka.

Oikawa Haruka easily hit the ball to the opposite side. She pretended to be angry: "kgym!"

Kageyama's whole face wrinkled, and the next ball was almost the same speed as he hit on the court. Oikawa Haruka faced such a fast ball, so naturally he couldn't hit it as easily as before.

"Pah, pah, pah..." The fog in the sky dissipated, and the sun shone on the two people. They kept dribbling and spiking the ball back and forth for more than an hour.

Iikawa Haruka waved her hands and slumped on the bench. Her high ponytail became loose and her heart was beating wildly. She closed her eyes and tried to calm her breathing. Suddenly, her cheeks felt hot. Kageyama bought hot milk.

"Thank you, Kageyama." Iikawa Haruka thanked her and took the milk and drank it in small sips.

Kageyama Tobio also sat next to her and drank the milk quietly. He didn't know why the senior sister specially asked him to come out to practice volleyball, when she obviously had a better setter than him.

Haruka Ishikawa relaxed: "Kageyama is really amazing. Not only can he serve accurate, fast and neat balls on the court, he can also serve the most perfect ball to a beginner like me." " 

However, I couldn't reach the ball on your court even if I tried my best. Why did you accommodate me instead of treating Kunimi and Kindaichi like you did on the court?" 

Kageyama didn't expect Haruka Ishikawa to ask such a question. His eyelashes drooped: "Because senior sister is different from Kindaichi and the others. Senior sister, you are very weak, while Kindaichi and Kunimi are very strong." 

Haruka Ishikawa held his forehead with his hand: "You are really honest." He actually said that she was weak. 

"Then have you ever thought that Kindaichi and Kunimi are like me, and they have tried their best to keep up with your serve?" 

The image of Kindaichi and Kunimi's spiking and the orange-haired figure flashed in Kageyama Tobio's eyes. No, they are not like that! 

"But we are in a competition, they are my teammates, we must become stronger! Senior, there were many opportunities that required them to go all out, but they didn't!" 

Kageyama Tobio said as he clenched his fists: "So, in order to win, I must become stronger!" 

Kageyama thought of the orange-haired number one and said to Oikawa Haruka: "We met a very weak team in our first game. However, there was a guy in there who jumped very high and when the setter made a mistake, he could run in the opposite direction to catch up with the ball." " 

However, this guy's technique is obviously terrible but he still took that point from us!"

Ikawa Haruka was stunned and looked at the boy in front of him with determination and doubt in his eyes: "Really? That kid is very powerful." Ikawa Haruka didn't know what to say to Kageyama. He seemed to resolutely choose to implement his theory all the way to the end.

She seemed to understand what he meant when he said teammates. It was because they were teammates and he thought they were strong and should continue to become stronger that he did so. If they did not become stronger but stood still, then the boy decided to keep getting stronger!

Ikawa Haruka knew that he would definitely be hurt if he continued like this. If so, what else could she do? She wanted to save him and help him.

Ikawa Haruka turned her eyes and asked casually: "What if one day there is no one behind you?" Will this boy who resolutely chose a lonely road feel lonely and sad?

Kageyama Tobio's eyes fell on the volleyball at his feet and then shifted to her: "How could it be? There is a volleyball next to me!" He also hoped that she would be by his side. His guardian angel seemed to appear at the right time every time he encountered difficulties.

Iikawa Haruka smiled lightly: "Really? That's good!"

She picked up the volleyball at her feet and said: "I'll give this volleyball to you. I had a lot of fun practicing today. I wish you all the best in tomorrow's game!"

She bought this volleyball from a sporting goods store yesterday. Originally, Iikawa Toru wanted to give her his volleyball, but his balls were treasured treasures that he cherished very much. Besides, she wanted to use it to practice with Kageyama, so she didn't think it was good, so she declined her brother's kindness.

Kageyama Tobio showed a smile as pure as ice and snow: "Thank you, senior!"
