Chapter 19

"Is this Aoba Josai High School? The school is so big!"

"Oh oh oh! It looks like a lot of plants."

"Damn, their school uniforms look so good! I want a white suit too..."

Wearing green training uniforms, everyone at Date Industrial looked around curiously at the gate of Qingcheng.

"Okay! Just stay calm when you get to other schools." Captain Mitsuki Kijima crossed his arms and reminded his excited teammates.

The seniors in the third grade had all retired, and he, who had just become captain, had to step up and manage his peers and juniors.

"Remember to listen to our captain." Manager Si Chengqing reminded him.

Sicheng Qing, also a third-year senior, chose to continue her position as the manager of the volleyball department at Date Engineering because she had received early admission to her favorite school.

"Long wait." Coach Mizoguchi led Ueda to the school gate to pick up Date Industrial's main team.

After arriving at the venue, Date Industrial quickly started to warm up.

Everyone in Qingcheng had just finished part of their training, so they didn't have to warm up. At this time, I was listening to Coach Irihata's announcement of today's appearance arrangements.

"Let's talk about today's starting list: Ueda Gosuke, Maebashi Kaisho, Touji Hiroshi, Nakatsuru Taiyo, Oikawa Toru, Iwaizumi Kazu, Machii Shinichi."

Tianhai stared at someone in the crowd silently.

Nanchuan didn't hear his name, his eyes dimmed and his fists clenched tightly.

The next second.

"Kusukawa Ang" Coach Iryhata found him in the crowd.

"Yes!" Nanchuan raised his head suddenly.

"Be prepared to go on the court and serve the players. You have been practicing well on the float ball recently." Coach Irihata's voice was calm.

"Everyone can see your efforts."

"Yes! Coach!" Nanchuan lowered his head, his hair hanging down, making his expression unclear.

A tear fell to the floor.

"Ah ho!" Zhonghe rushed over from behind, "That's great!"

"Wipe your tears." Maebashi handed over a towel. Seeing that Kusu Chuan was still crying silently with his head down, he directly covered his face with a towel and rubbed it a few times.

Everyone in Date Industrial looked at the people in Qingcheng gathering together and wondered what they were announcing.

Then they suddenly dispersed, which seemed to be the end of the arrangement. A team member was revealed with his head bowed and crying.

"Is... is there a denunciation meeting?" The main attacker, Kase Takashi, was a little scared.

Is it true that the team environment in Qingcheng is so high-pressure?

Everyone looked at the score-chasing coach with a serious expression on the side: Coach, although your serious expression may seem inhumane, at this moment we know that you love us.

Oiwa Takuro noticed that the eyes of the team members beside him were twitching and blinking:?

"I don't know what you are thinking, but we are in Qingcheng now, so don't be too embarrassed."

Coach Chai points said helplessly and walked to coach Irihata to talk about the practice match.

Sicheng Qing, who was standing by the side, took in the reactions of both parties and left a smile that saw everything.

"Please give me some advice!"

Oikawa looked at the people at Date Industries in front of him, and Coach Tianhai's voice echoed in his mind.

"Dateko's strength is much lower than in the qualifiers, and all the main senior players have withdrawn from the team. You can also take this opportunity to try new tactics and arrangements."

The main attackers are Kijima Mitsuki, Kase Takashi, and Sasaya Shihito. , the deputy attackers are Kamaso Yasushi and Konda Shinichi, the second attackers are Mautei Kaname, and the free man Kuni Qiu Naoya.

These seven team members are the members that make up "Ida's Iron Wall".

The captains of both teams draw lots to determine the players.

Date Industrial gets the right to serve.

"Good serve!"

Shinichi Konda stood at the service point.

Damn it, no matter where your eyes fall on the opponent, they will be instantly captured by the nearest member. When did Aoba Jonishi develop this kind of perception?

It's like I've been seen through - but the serving time is almost over, don't care!

The overhand serve from an angle that wasn't too tricky was easily received by the Maebashi - "Oikawa!"

Once the pass was in place, it was up to the second pass to give the ball to...

what!

Second pass attack!

Datego's free man ran forward quickly, but he could no longer change the result.

"Da... da..."

The ball rolled slowly. There was silence.

Not knowing what a shocking move he had made, Oikawa looked at Tianhai aside.

'Teacher, you said that the moment the opponent falls into a fixed mindset is the best time for the second pass attack, right? '

"The setter that dared to use the second attack at the beginning... No wonder the last setter was criticized by your coach and made him cry..."

Naoya Kunigaoka stood up and smiled provocatively at Oikawa.

Oikawa bean eyes.

"Why do you cry when criticized? Our coach is very gentle."

Gentle? ? Do the Qingcheng players think this is gentleness?

Oikawa's words made Dateko's misunderstanding about the Qingcheng volleyball club even higher.

The game continues.

"I'll do it!" Sasaya noticed the loophole in Qingcheng's block and spiked the ball in the direction of Touji.

Touji's body swinging to the right stretched to the left at the moment of jumping.

"One touch!" He didn't even look back. Standing behind him was Iwaizumi, who was very relieved.

"Senior Zhonghe!" "I'll do it!"

Zhonghe Taiyang stretched out his hand and clasped.

"Super oblique smash - big success!"

He successfully deceived the opponent's block and smashed the ball from the corner of the [iron wall]. The strong sense of accomplishment made Zhonghe start running around.

"Zhonghe, stop!" The front bridge stopped him at the opposite corner, but Zhonghe above couldn't hear it at all.

Iwaizumi grabbed the ball with his hand and suppressed it with 5 force and 3 force. Zhonghe was escorted back to his original position.

12:19

"I'll do it!"

"Get ready to block!"

The front axle's spike was blocked by three people. Machii Shinichi ran from the back row to the net and picked up the ball.

"Again, again!"

"Don't mind!"

Who should pass the ball?

Oikawa thought in his mind that Chukaku on the left was already waiting at the border and could bypass the block. The previous ball at the front axle had just been blocked and the position had not yet been adjusted.

'There is not only one way to break through the blockade. You can avoid it or cheat it, but you may fail. But do you know what is the safest way? '

Amami sat in the analysis room with Oikawa watching the replay of Date Industries' game.

'I don't know'

"Koiwa!" Oikawa passed the ball to Iwaizumi who was blocked by Date Industries.

'It is to directly use force to break the block! '

"Bang!"

[The iron wall] was broken.

It seemed like I was back in the Spring High Qualifiers.

"Huh——"

Konda gritted his teeth. Not to mention Shiratorizawa's Ushijima Wakatoshi, how come there are players with this kind of power in Aoki.

"Don't give up, everyone!" Kamamatsu Yasushi shouted, "As long as we persist, the iron wall will definitely be able to stop the enemy!"

"Start from the tall secondary attacker on the opposite side."

Mitsuki Kijima looked at the other side of the net. The score was now 15-23.

They have two more chances.

"Damn it!" Dongji shouted with a trace of unwillingness.

16:23

Once again, I was regarded as the team’s weakness. It is obviously a shield to resist the enemy, but it is full of loopholes.

"Don't worry about it, don't care about it."

Oikawa put his arm around Touji's shoulders and planned in an extremely weak voice: "Senior will play the next ball first...and then wait until the opponent... Do you understand?"

Touji's eyes widened. Bright.

"What did they discuss?" Mao Tingyao was a little confused.

"I'm not sure, but now I can only follow the agreement."

"Serve a good ball." Ueda took the ball, took off and spiked the ball.

"Jump serve!" "Left left."

"Great pass!"

Shiteba passed the ball to captain Mitsuki Kijima.

'If you don't block carefully, you have to...' Kijima aimed at Touji's fingertips, trying to get the player out of bounds.

Just when the ball was about to hit the bandaged finger, Touji retracted his hand with a smirk.

"OUT"

16:24

"The next ball, will you hit me again?" Touji landed lightly and faced Kijima.

"Ah, no, I forgot. You don't have the next ball."

Because - the ball was in Oikawa Toru's hands. The first game ended 

at 16:25 . 

"Kuan, your last sentence was so handsome!" 

Zhonghe, who knows well that [on the court, handsomeness is king] repeated: "But you don't have the next goal." 

"Ah, I don't know too well. This Oikawa asked me to say it. But it seems to be very effective." 

At least the members of Date Industry are staring at him fiercely. 

He must have been deceived by Oikawa... 

Maebashi, who is still smart in the team, complained in his heart: Wasn't this really something Oikawa asked him to add specifically to look cool on the stage? 

Of course, Iwaizumi knew that he had a petty personality, so he punched him on the back without even saying hello. 

"Oikawa, if you dare to bully seniors again, I want you to look good." 

The second game didn't last long. 

Whether it was Nakakuru's small-angle attack or Iwaizumi's powerful smash, Dateko, who had just started to adjust, could not catch it. 

Even during the game, Amami asked Kusukawa to swap the front axle for a double setter tactic. With another setter to organize the offense, Oikawa's "super aggressiveness" was completely revealed in front of everyone. 

"I said, Coach Irihata," Coach Chaifen had been hesitant to speak since the beginning of the game. He had been hesitant several times. This time he really couldn't help it. 

"Are you really a setter? Why do I think you are more offensive than the main attacker?" 

It's like having "offensive, offensive, offensive" engraved on your body. 

Coach Irihata didn't care about the opponent's tone, "Oh, he will be embarrassed to praise our setter like that." 

Tenkai, Mizoguchi: No, he doesn't look like someone who is embarrassed because of other people's praise. 

"Thanks for the advice!" The players from both sides shook hands, and the training match ended with a score of 0-2. 

"Next time, we will beat you!" Kase Takashi said unwillingly. 

"We will win next time too." Zhonghe accepted the challenge. 

Ueda and Maebashi said nothing. This should be the last time the two of them fight against Date. They will retreat when the spring high is over. 

The chasing coach said goodbye to the three Qingcheng coaches. Both sides were very satisfied with this training match. 

The new main candidates of Date Engineering experienced the true strength of Miyagi Prefecture’s final-level strong school. Seeing how the team members were hit, the subsequent training seemed to have goals. 

Qingcheng gained more. The top four schools in the county were used as a touchstone, and all the recent progress and new offensive methods learned were tested. 

He also tried the double setter tactic that he had always wanted to try, unleashing Oikawa's offensive power. 

After sending Date Industrial off, Tianhai returned to the gymnasium and met the moving eyes of everyone. 

Their progress can be felt in the battle. A large part of the credit comes from this... 

"Look what I am doing? Keep training. Today's task is not completed yet?" Tianhai couldn't guess what everyone was thinking. 

Swallowing the emotion that overflowed into their throats, everyone in Qingcheng turned to train with a dull expression. 

"By the way, Oikawa." Tianhai called to one of them. "Remember to come to me today to analyze the practice match." 

Under the sympathetic looks of the other teammates, Oikawa nodded slowly and closed his eyes. 

Teacher, are you a devil?
