Chapter 21

"This setter from Karasuno..."

Maebashi gritted his teeth and reminded his teammates, "Be careful. He looks like a pretty boy, why does he have so many tricks on his mind."

Oikawa on the side felt that he was being scolded.

"No wonder the coach asked us to do our best. That tall man has the potential to be an ace." Ueda also agreed.

In less than ten minutes, they almost made three mistakes.

Zhonghe is still a little out of sorts.

"What are you talking about? Isn't this a very easy game?"

As he said that, he looked at the score of 7:2.

"It's easy for you! We've already helped you make up for three mistakes!" Machii roared from the back row.

Dong Feng, who was in the back row on the opposite side of the net, didn't know that he had been evaluated as the "next ace" by captain Qingcheng. He just felt that Qingcheng was so strong.

Fighting on the field - for Dong Fengxu, this is no less than confessing to a girl at the school gate.

However, Kurokawa in the front row heard the conversation clearly and glanced at Dongfeng and Sugawara.

The ball was smashed over the net.

"It's done!" Dongsi looked happy.

Tashiro and Nagakawa stretched out their arms, but the ball was forced out of their arms.

"Don't mind!" Sugawara comforted.

'First of all, the first thing is to get the serve back. ' Looking at Kurokawa-senpai on the side, he quietly said something to him.

"What is that setter talking about?" Iwaizumi looked at the smile on Sugawara's face.

Don't blame him for being wary, Oikawa has this expression every time he wants to do something bad.

Sure enough, when the next ball came, Sugawara shouted: "Tigmine!"

Asahi Tomine heard the call, paused, and ran forward from the back row.

"You are actually using the back row to attack at this time?" Irihata, who was watching the game, raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Oikawa felt something was wrong and reacted suddenly,

"No! It's not a back row attack!"

Hiroki Kurokawa quietly took off on the other side.

That's it!

"This brat!" Oikawa jumped to save the ball, but it was to no avail.

"Pah...pah..."

Tianhai clapped his hands twice. "Yes, we rely on the opponent's mindset to attack. It's a bit tricky, but the most important thing is to be able to score."

It was the first time that Takashi Sugawara was praised by the coach, regardless of whether Tianhai was the opponent's coach, "Yes! I will continue to work hard. "Yes!"

Everyone in Qingcheng lowered their heads, looking like they had suffered a huge blow.

"Is it so unacceptable to lose just one goal? They are indeed a strong team." Tashiro sighed.

Oikawa gritted his teeth and looked up. "No!"

"It's just that the coach praised you first! He hasn't praised me like that today!"

Everyone on the side nodded.

He was praised by the coach even faster... Unforgivable!

In the next half hour, the eyes of everyone in Qingcheng were burning with blazing fire, and they used 120% of their power.

End of first game.

"Coach, coach! How did we perform!" Zhonghe rushed to the front to ask for praise.

"If you mean that you made 4 mistakes in the first ten minutes of the game and relied on the help of your teammates to avoid losing points. I admit that you have good teammates."

Tianhai smiled and rubbed Zhonghe's head.

Oikawa and the others, who were still complaining about being beaten by Chukaku, all took three steps back.

Iwaizumi even saluted Nakakuru.

"Senior! Dayi! Please go on your way."

At the beginning of the second game, Karasuno was a little immersed in the failure of the previous game and couldn't get over it.

"It would be great if I could dunk the ball..." Dong Fengxu was a little frustrated.

Although he has grown so tall, he can't even dunk the ball.

"Don't be coy, Dongfeng." Nagakawa Kota patted him on the shoulder. "Just leave the responsibility to the seniors. Playing happily and contentedly is what the juniors should do."

The three first-year students sniffed, "Senior..."

"Hahaha, one more sentence!"

"Senior!" × 3

"Did you hear that? The responsibility lies with seniors!" Zhonghe felt that the words of Kota Nagakawa opposite him were so cool that he turned to Oikawa Iwaizumi and said the same words.

Iwaizumi and Oikawa turned their heads to the side, refusing to comment.

'Obviously you are the one having the most fun, senior. '

The game on the field is coming to an end.

Watching the ball coming back and forth on the court, Irihata asked the two people beside him.

"What do you think of Karasuno and the others?"

Mizoguchi answered first: "It's hard to comment. The first graders haven't adjusted well yet. The second grader Kurokawa does have some strength, but the seniors in the team are not up to par. It can only be said that he has some potential. "

Tianhai has been thinking about Xiangyang since he saw Karasuno, and replied: "Maybe one day Karasuno will defeat Qingcheng, but not now."

"Thank you for your advice!"

Everyone in Karasuno couldn't help crying. , left on the cheek, on the floor.

The first grade felt it even more - their first practice session was over.

This game gave them a feeling even far greater than the Spring High School Qualifiers, allowing them to understand how far behind they were from a truly strong school.

Qing Shui also had tears in her eyes. She held the filled water glasses for everyone and distributed them silently.

Everyone in Karasuno was walking at the school gate when they looked up and saw a familiar figure.

"Coach Tianhai." Teacher Takeda shouted in surprise.

Why is he here?

Qing Shui took a breath.

She has a more delicate mind than most people in the team. From the beginning of the qualifiers, she has clearly noticed that Tianhai pays more attention to Karasuno than other schools.

He's going to tell you why!

Tianhai leaned against the wall and the first thing he said was: "I watched your game, the national competition."

Everyone in Karasuno was stunned. Only the third-year Tashiro knew what he was talking about.

"You are talking about Uuchi-senpai's game. I was only a freshman in high school when our seniors were in their third year of high school. Unfortunately, we couldn't continue to win."

The tears that Tashiro had not shed in the stadium just now did remain after all.

Tianhai walked slowly towards everyone, and stopped when he came to Takeda Ittetsu.

The wind gently blew his hair. The big silent tree nearby was rustled by the wind. The setting sun stretched everyone's shadow into a long one.

"My student likes you very much. He will go to Karasuno in the future. I hope you can have a hearty victory then." Tianhai tilted his head and looked at everyone in Karasuno whose eyes were full of unwillingness.

After looking at each other and saying this, he turned and walked towards the Aoba Jonishi Gymnasium.

Karasuno was left standing there.

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

"Tomorrow there will be magazines and magazines from Miyagi Prefecture and even the whole country. Members of the news agency came to interview! ! ”

The sound was loud enough to shake the venue. Zhonghe put his hands on Touji’s shoulders and did a handstand.

"Coach, he seems to be dead."

Kusukawa pointed to Toushi who received the sonic impact from Chuhe's front.

Maebashi half-crouched, holding Touji who had turned black and white, and called for help. "Kuan! You have to hold on!"

The farce here is only a small part.

Before Tian Hai could walk over, Oikawa's screams could be heard from over there.

Iwaizumi was so angry that he chased Oikawa with his eyes red. Oikawa was running around a pillar, shouting as he ran:

"I'm not wrong! Iwaizumi can wear a gorilla costume! This is a Qingcheng specialty!!

" As a pillar, Ueda was sometimes beaten by Oikawa, and sometimes accidentally injured by Iwaizumi.

"Stop! Oikawa Iwaizumi."

With the coach's permission, Hanamaki Takahiro and Matsukawa Kazushige, who are about to become the main players after Ueda graduates, are now substitutes and are wearing sunglasses that they don't know where they came from.

Wearing Qingcheng's support uniform, he waved the support flag.

"In the Qingcheng era, there is no obstacle! If we attack and attack, Qingcheng will win!"

"Hey, don't start supporting me now!" Ueda roared at this side while untying the two parkour people on him. .

Machii Shinichi, the only normal person in the team, put on his headphones and lay on a chair nearby.

"Serenity"

would be a harmonious sleeping picture if Naoto Uijima didn't draw a turtle on his face.

Mizoguchi looked at the crowd in Qingcheng with an expressionless expression, "Is this really the team member we have high hopes for entering the national competition?"

"Click--"

A photo-taking sound rang out, and everyone stopped and looked for the source of the sound. .

I saw Tian Haishu, who was covered in black energy and had a bright smile.

"If you don't calm down, I guarantee that this photo will be a group photo of the interview."

Tianhai had tears in his heart.

Sorry, coach. I misunderstood you before.

On the other side of the ocean, in the United States, the coach of the volleyball club at Radoan High School sneezed heavily.

"Sneeze——!"

I rubbed my nose, which child was talking about me.

The next day.

"Welcome to Aoba Jonishi High School."

After everyone voted, the two best-looking Ikemen, Amaki and Oikawa Toru, greeted reporters and magazine interviewers as coaches and student representatives.

Reporter Ai Kijima, who was hit hard by two beautiful faces as soon as she entered the school, slowly closed her eyes. The hand of Shunsuke Nakaue, the cameraman next to her, shaking the camera.

"Hello, my name is Amami, I am currently the volleyball coach of Aoba Castle Nishi, and I am a colleague of Coach Irihata and Coach Mizoguchi."

Seeing the strangeness on their faces, Amami introduced himself.

"This is Oikawa Toru, a first-year student. He is currently the starting setter in the Aoba Josai team. Now let us show you Aoba Josai, shall we?"

He led the reporter around the Aoba campus before arriving at the gymnasium.

"The school environment in Qingcheng is really good~ The students are so energetic, it feels like they are back in high school."

Kijima covered his blushing face with his hands and explained sheepishly.

"It's an honor for Aoba Jonishi to be liked by everyone." Oikawa gently opened the door for the two of them, with the clearness and simplicity unique to young people on his face.

Zhongzhi, who knew his partner very well, smiled slightly, "She's just a nymphomaniac..."

Before he could say anything about it, Kijima hit him with his elbow and covered his aching waist. Speak.

Oikawa Toru and Amami, who had a clear view of the two people's movements, couldn't help laughing, but they were afraid of being recorded by the camera, so they turned around and walked forward.

Next came the group interview session.

"Excuse me, what is Aoba Jouni's team flag and slogan?"

"Domination of the stadium." Ueda's answer was full of vigor.

What a strong momentum.

Kijima and Zhongzhi looked at each other, a little surprised.

"Do you have anything you want to say about Shiratorizawa?"

Zhonghe finally broke free from the vague restraints of Maebashi and Touji, ran forward and shouted: "Wait! Shiratorizawa, the winner will be Aoba Castle Nishi."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, according to Nakakuru's character, it would be possible for him to say "Shiratorizawa, come see me with your head up."

This depends on whether the jump he watched last night was a shounen hot-blooded manga or an updated revenge manga.

"Coach, do you have anything to say to the students?"

Coach Irihata, who had tried several times but failed to grab the camera, was satisfied. He turned towards the photographer and turned to face the students.

"Kids, come on! Talent will bear fruit."

After asking a few more questions, Nakajima looked at the last question.

She added this when she reviewed the draft of questions before going to bed last night. I didn't plan to ask questions because I was likely to get meaningless official talk.

"Excuse me, the coaches from Qingcheng, do you have anything to say to the coaches from Shiratorizawa?"

After hearing this question, Coach Mizoguchi, who had originally secretly wanted to step forward to answer a question, moved back.

Everyone in Qingcheng looked at Tianhaishu.

'oh? Is there a story? Nakajima Ai's eyes lit up and he put the microphone in front of Tianhai.

"Coach Washiji..." Tianhai sighed, "I will let you know whose theory is correct."

A battle of theories! ! Best topic ever! !

Two journalists smelled the heat.

As long as the theory is involved, even the salty and sweet tofu, sweet or salty rice dumplings can become popular on the Internet!

Unable to resist digging for news, Nakajima interviewed Tianhai alone for ten minutes before leaving with satisfaction.

Not long after the county magazine left, reporters from magazines from across the country came.

However, the other party's interview seemed to be for Shiratorizawa, and Qingcheng was just conducting the interview. This slightly perfunctory attitude made everyone in Qingcheng a little angry.

"Next year, no, I will let them interview us with great expectations in a week!" Oikawa shouted unwillingly.

After sending the reporters away, everyone in Qingcheng returned to the practice room and continued to sweat profusely.

The Spring High Qualifiers are really here.
