Chapter 31

"Good afternoon, friends in the audience, this year's Tokyo Spring High School Qualifiers have ended. The winning teams are Jingdashan High School and Xiaogu High School. The regional representative is Enkoma High School. This morning, the Tome College-Inkoma High School competition was held Battle for regional reps."

The morning sports news was playing on the station's TV.

Tianhai walked towards the entrance with a sports backpack on his back. Behind him were four...

no, six athletic teenagers.

"Speaking of which, why are you still following us-" Oikawa's patience meter was almost empty.

The two foxes behind me are so haunting!

From the hotel yesterday afternoon to the Tokyo Stadium this morning. One stood next to Hinata and asked around, and the other walked next to Iwaizumi and looked around.

Still consciously or unconsciously squeezing him towards the five-color workers!

"Ah, it's not our fault. After all, we have to take the Shinkansen back to Hyogo. Right, Aji."

"Yes, Ayu, how can you blame us." The two pond noodle boys Looks innocent.

How could they, two innocent little foxes, do this on purpose?

"Huh?" Oikawa stretched out his hand and smoothed his sleeves, looking angry that he was about to take action.

He wants to give these two guys who deserve a beating a good beating!

Amami took out the ticket and handed it to Iwaizumi with a dead expression on his face.

He clicked his chin towards the three people who were at war with each other.

"Please, my assistant."

Seeing Tianhai's expression, Wuse put his arm around Xiangyang's shoulders and whispered.

"Is Teacher Tianhai okay? You've been looking like this since you came out of the gym this morning."

Xiangyang was also worried about his master and looked at Tianhai cautiously.

Tianhai braced himself up and smiled at the two students. "I'm fine. Xiaoyan, remember to ask for another week's leave for me and Coach Irihata."

Since we had a head-on encounter with Nekoma's Nekomata coach yesterday, I had to watch their game today.

This is nothing. Watching the game was the main purpose of his visit this time

- but when he saw Coach Xiaogu and the members next to the Yinju auditorium, everything changed!

Especially when I saw the wooden rabbit shouting "HEEEY! Coach Tianhai - HEY!"

Under the eyes of Coach Anji and Coach Tomi Ohmi, Amami really did what he wanted to do since yesterday.

He held his head and squatted down to hide behind the seat.

'As long as I can't see them, they can't see me. 'Comes from Tian Haishu, a contemporary master of deception.

·

"Remember to call me when you arrive in Miyagi County and pay attention to your safety." Tianhai looked at the four little ones who were about to get on the bus and couldn't help but warn them.

I was afraid that there were four people when we set out, but only two would be left when we arrived in Miyagi Prefecture.

"Coach Tianhai, are you my mother?" Oikawa turned to Tianhai and smiled.

Oikawa ended up being kicked onto the Shinkansen by Iwaizumi.

After seeing off the four of his own, Tianhai turned to look at the twins who were sitting on chairs waiting for the bus.

Gong You was still looking in the direction Xiangyang and the others were leaving, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

Miyaji gave a brotherly comment on this.

"What a disgusting expression." "Huh? Do you want to fight?"

Seeing Tianhai coming back from the platform, the two of them ran over and saved Tianhai's contact information in their mobile phones, and handed over Coach Kurosu's number.

The two of them just like to have fun and are not stupid. The other party is now the coach of a national competition team.

Moreover, according to his students, Aoba Castle defeated Shiratorizawa just two months after Amami came to Aoba Castle.

Whether it is Hinata, Oikawa or Iwaizumi and Goshiki, each of these four students has a shining point that can reach the national competition. Not to mention Ushijima Wakali who is far away in Miyagi.

It’s only natural that Coach Tianhai makes people curious!

"Coach Tianhai, this is the contact information of our coach Kurosu Inarizaki. Come to Inarizaki to communicate with us when you have time."

Gong Yu raised his hands in the air to express his goodwill.

"Well! Welcome to Hyogo Prefecture." Miyaji was not far behind.

"If I remember correctly, you are still in Yehu Middle School. Be careful that the current school will cry when you hear this." Tianhai teased these two heartless little foxes.

Waiting at the station for the Shinkansen to Hyogo to depart, and after putting the two of them on the train safely, Tenkai began his real "Tokyo trip".

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

"Hello, let's go to Yiju High School."

After coming out of the train station, Tianhai walked to the side of the road and took a taxi.

The train station is very close to Yinju School, and we will arrive at the school gate in a short time. Team leader Manabu Naoi was waiting at the door to pick up Tianhai.

"Long wait." Tianhai gave the driver money, then walked quickly two steps to coach Naojing.

On the way to the volleyball club, Tianhai admired the beautiful environment of Inkoma High School.

Since Yinju is located in Tokyo, where land is at a premium, the school does not occupy a large area. The architectural style has a hint of simplicity, and it is a school with a strong historical background.

"I'm still very grateful to coach Tianhai for being willing to come to Yinju as a guest." Coach Naoi expressed his thanks again.

Yinju has no manager and can only take charge of all matters large and small. It is inevitable that he will not be able to give detailed guidance to the team members.

Coach Nekomata is too old to coach the players in person. Coach Tianhai is willing to come to help with guidance, which is a great thing for them.

The two communicated all the way and soon arrived at the entrance of the volleyball department of Yinju High School.

"Ah! Is that a cat?"

Tianhai saw a litter of kittens beside the flower bed of the volleyball club. They were all very cute. Some are even furry.

A calico cat, a black cat, a raccoon cat and a cow cat! As expected of Yinju.

The sounds of playing ball and shouting in the stadium came through the walls. The cats were not afraid, but instead licked their paws leisurely.

"Is this a cat raised by the volleyball club?"

Tianhai stroked one of the kittens, his fingertips sinking into the soft fur, and he felt dizzy with excitement. Ask Manabu Naoi next to him.

"Ah, no. It's the cat in school. The classmates in the volleyball club will feed them, and they just stay here."

The two played with the cat for a while, then opened the door and walked into the venue.

"Welcome to the Yinju High School Volleyball Club!"

Tianhai was welcomed by the team members as soon as he entered the door.

Coach Nekomata was smiling and holding his hands behind his back. "Coach Tianhai, everyone is very happy that you can come to Yinju as a guest."

"Nice to meet you all!"

After saying hello, Tianhai observed Yinju's venue. It looks similar to the venue in Aoba Castle Nishi, but it took a little longer.

I glanced at a corner to the side, and there were standing...a group of junior high school students?

Standing in the queue of junior high school students, Guzhao Momo lowered his head, hoping that the hair on both sides could block his face.

Their junior high school volleyball club came today to celebrate Yinju's winning of regional representation.

Most of the people on the team will choose to go directly to Nekoma High School, so everyone will participate in this celebration.

'Don't look over, don't notice me, don't...'

The next second, a clear voice broke Lone Claw's hope of grinding.

"Is this a student from Yinju Junior High School?"

As he said this, Tianhai walked over.

He saw that his little tamer had slipped to the back of the team and would have entered the wall if he ran any further.

Kuroo walked over and explained quietly -

"Grind! This is the coach I told you about last time."

"Well... I know."

If I had known better, I would have said that I had an upset stomach today. That awesome coach Xiao Hei talks about must be terrifying.

After all, it felt like being targeted just now...

Fortunately, Tianhai didn't stay in front of the junior high school students for too long.

·

Time was precious, so he exchanged a few words with Coach Nekomata and then started teaching Nekoma Shoshou to block.

"Really, thank you to Coach Tianhai for giving us that magical emergency block last time. Otherwise, we would have lost even more miserably against Xiaogu..."

one of Yinju's secondary attackers sighed.

This time, he truly realized in practice how much of a difference a technology can bring to the game.

"Coach Tianhai just said that he will teach anticipatory blocking this time, look forward to it!"

Kuroo Tetsuro is also learning in the team.

Although he is only a first-year player, his height and technical advantages are enough to make him the team's main blocking force.

"Keep your arms straight." Tianhai corrected him from the side.

He could see that perhaps due to the influence of Nekoma's overall "defensive system", Kuroo couldn't help but lower his center of gravity to make it easier to catch the ball.

"Although volleyball is not a sport that pursues the ultimate height, there is a difference between "land" and "air."

Gathering the players together, Tianhai explained this concept.

Yinju's catching and scoring is a typical "Lu" method. Rely on stable catching to resist the enemy's smash, and look for offensive opportunities to gradually attack.

But if there are no players in the "empty" position, once the opponent attacks from a high position, the game may become deadlocked.

"Does it have to be very high to be considered 'empty'?" Captain Yinju asked.

Amami turned his attention to Kuroo, the tallest person present.

"Of course not. If we can find a player with a height advantage to be responsible for blocking, or find a setter that can limit the opponent's attackers. That would also be a shackles for Sora."

Kuroo nodded and put the opponent's words in his mind. In my mind - if possible, Nenkoma needs to find a tall player in the future. As for now, I need to shoulder this important responsibility.

Kuroo figured it out and started practicing on the field with the help of his teammates.

·

Most of the people on the field have stopped practicing. Only a few are still blocking or catching the ball, and Kuroo is one of them.

"Xiao Hei... I feel so tired just looking at it." Guzhao Mianlan completed today's ball-picking task and found a corner to watch Xiao Tameran.

Then he looked at his backpack frequently, as if he could penetrate the outer layer and see the game console inside.

'Today the game seems to have released two new SSR cards. The number of draws I've saved should be enough for a big guarantee, I hope it doesn't go wrong...'

The desire in Grinding's eyes was almost tangible.

Amami practiced catching a ball with first-year student Yaku Weisuke for a while, then turned around and saw the cat-eyed boy whom he had met once in a convenience store.

Seeing the anxious longing in his eyes, Tianhai walked up to him and asked.

"Do you also want to come to practice?"

Momo shook violently, and his hair stood up a little.

It's that very powerful coach. I can't say that I actually want to go back to playing games...

"Yes, I really want to practice 4...5 goals." Five goals, no more.

Tianhai looked at the troubled expression of the young man in front of him. There is a time when the opponent has thought about it for a long time and is mentally prepared to make a king bomb,

against three.

·

Both of them fell into silence. It wasn't until Kuroo Tetsurou came over that he regained his composure.

"Grinning! Do you want to train too?"

In the end, Guzhao Minglin really held five balls under the net.

But before he lifted the ball to Kuroo, Amami added a little challenge to the task - the two of them tried to hit a ball that failed in their own net.

Tianhai looked at the weak-looking young man in front of him, and felt a cold sweat in his heart.

Since it is included in the illustrated book and is a pillar of the world, then it should be unique and outstanding?

Ever since Grind showed his "not hating" attitude towards volleyball, he has been often dragged to practice by Kuroo. Moreover, under the name of Xiao Hei's explanation, which was actually a coaxing behavior, he became a setter who "doesn't consume much energy".

The two's years of working together allowed Kuroo to hit a beautiful straight shot.

But, not enough!

Tianhai stretched out his arm and stopped the ball without even jumping up.

"A slightly better blocker can score this ball or convert it into a chance ball." Tianhai hoped that Kuroo would remember the blocking skills he just explained to them.

Put yourself in the blocker's shoes and think about what types of balls are difficult to catch.

Kuroo and Momo stood together, thinking of what Tenkai said just now, "Be careful not to be induced by the opponent's gaze when blocking." The two hit it off and decided to use this method.

"On the right -" Haixinxing, who was attracted by the three people to watch, looked at the grinding body turning to the right and couldn't help but remind Tianhai who was standing still.

No, it’s the same place!

Everyone present only saw a smile from the junior high school student Guzhao Molan who usually had no presence.

He turned his body 90 degrees and took a step back to the left - the ball was passed to the place where the lifting player was originally.

"It's a good idea. Unfortunately, the change in body size is too obvious!"

Tianhai focused on his legs that were eager to move back from the beginning of the grinding movement.

The grinding and jumping posture stopped and he looked at the volleyball that was blocked on the ground. Because his head was lowered, his hair fell down and blocked his expression.

"Is the grinding okay?" Kuroo asked with concern. Although you are the one attacking, the way you score is determined by grinding. After being stopped twice in a row, would he...

Guzhao Grinding raised his head. A pair of vertical pupils were shining, and there was excitement on his face.

Kuroo had only seen this expression when he was playing games - the levels of his favorite games.

"One more ball." These words of asking for the ball brought tears to Kuroo's eyes.

·

At this time, a whole circle of players was attracted around the stadium. The grinding junior high school students are also among them.

"Senior Lone Claw, did you take the initiative to ask for the ball?" The junior high school student said in surprise, "It feels... even a little OOC."

The gaze that usually made him freeze in place did not have a huge impact on Mian Mo.

His brain is thinking now, and some game modeling is gradually appearing on the court. Standing in front of him was a black dragon BOSS, and he and Xiao Hei were crispy brave men holding iron swords.

"Should we use control first or directly cause damage? Try to get stuck in a blind spot and move around?"

Momo licked his lips, and Kuroo was startled by his excited expression.

"Xiao Hei!" Momo shouted his companion's name, squatted down and passed the ball to Kuroo. But when the arm is straightened, the wrist is attached - the second pass attack.

As Tianhai jumped up, he noticed the grinding wrist and quickly squatted down to pick up the volleyball.

Almost succeeded! But his intention was noticed again.

"This is simply a bug." Lone Claw looked at the Demon King on the other side of the net, his brain calculating rapidly.

Before the fourth ball started, he said something to Kuroo, and Kuroo nodded understandingly.

"This ball is so high!" Hai Xinxing, who was watching, exclaimed. "What's the purpose of such a high ball?"

When Kuroo jumped to the highest point, he rotated his body and hit the ball towards the sideline.

"The line of sight is blocked."

Tianhai frowned and looked at Momo who was blocking the front. When the ball flew to the sideline, he lifted the ball with a diving jump.

Yejiu jumped twice when he saw this crisp and clean leap. "Awesome!"

There is one last chance.

Grinding frowned, he was already surrounded by people. Everyone looked at him with burning eyes, as if they were trying to drill a hole.

'There are so many people... Being stared at by so many people, you should feel panicked... But, all the attention is given to the person on the other side of the network! '

For the last ball, he chose to hit a high ball that was exactly the same as the fourth ball -

Tianhai's eyes dropped slightly, a little disappointed. Are there no other workarounds? He was really looking forward to this child's more brilliant performance.

However, this power! Tianhai's pupils shrank.

The few tenths of a second it takes to touch the ball is almost instantaneous. He realizes that this is completely different from the side attack on the fourth ball!

The opponent's plan is to push the thug out of bounds!

"Ta...ta..." The ball fell to the ground.

Tianhai changed the direction of his hand at the last moment and let the ball land on the court.

Lone Claw Grinding lowered his eyes on the opposite side, with a trace of disappointment.

Still no success.

"No, you succeeded. My last gesture counts as holding the ball in a standard game and does not score." He is indeed one of the pillars of the world, and he really has a unique advantage.

·

Watching the whole process, Coach Maomata’s eyes lit up. He hadn't noticed before that there was such a smart lifting player in Yinju's own nest.

In just five goals, four offensive methods were thought of.

Thinking like this, Coach Nekomata showed the same strange smile he used to look at Tianhai at that time, and called Kuroo to him.

Grinding considers the task accomplished.

When he turned around, he saw that Xiao Hei and Coach Nekomata didn't know what they were discussing, so they couldn't help but pick up their schoolbags and take out their game consoles.

Tianhai watched curiously as this precious seedling opened the card drawing game.

Failed...failed again...ah, the guarantee is crooked.

"There's only one ten-game left." Grinding's expression was extremely rich, and his mood swings were far greater than when he passed the ball before. The desperate expression on his face could not be concealed at all.

Tianhai recalled his luck in drawing cards in his previous life - he was often shouted out by members of the team, "Emperor Ou, damn it!" and then turned around to ask him to help draw cards.

"How about I give it a try?" He stepped forward.

·

Not to mention what happened between the two grinding people here.

On Coach Nekomata's side, Kuroo Tetsurou was a little excited.

He understands what Coach Nekomata just said! For the next training, if you are willing, you can come to the high school training department at any time!

And what the coach means is that by the time he reaches the first year of high school, he can become a starting player.

"Thank you, coach! Let me ask what you think about Grinding."

Kuroo ran towards the corner where Grinding was in excitement.

I saw that You Tongran was in a daze and kept saying something like, "Double yolk egg... It's a double yolk egg. The strength is so terrifying."

Kuroo:? ? ?

Tianhai, who turned around and left long ago, has deep hidden merit and fame.

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

A barbecue restaurant near Onkoma High School.

"Coach Tianhai - come and drink more! This guy Naoi seems to have a good capacity for drinking, but in fact, two drinks are not enough. There is no one to drink with an old man like me."

Coach Nekomata held up the glass. He hadn't had a good drink in a long time. .

Tianhai held the Calpis drink in his hand and turned his gaze back from the table next to the Yinju players.

Picking up the cup and taking a sip of the drink, Tianhai felt helpless:

"To be precise, although I can drink in the United States, in Japan I haven't reached the legal drinking age of 20 years old."

If he weren't worried that he, a coach, would enter the crowd of students, The students felt uncomfortable, so he actually went to sit at the children's table.

"Hahaha, I forgot about it. Coach Tianhai is only 19 years old. He is such a talented young man." Team leader Naoi praised.

In fact, Tianhai, who has been a man for two generations, said: "I just accepted this compliment. I praised it all." '

"Ding-ding-ding-" a message notification sound came from Tianhai's mobile phone.

"It's the invitation from Coach Xiao Gu and Coach Tomei."

What a coincidence. The two coaches I happened to meet yesterday sent me messages at the same time. I really doubted that it was an appointment.

"Obitani and Tomomi,"

Coach Nekomata swallowed a sip of soju, "then let them line up. But we Nekoma came first."

The smiling expression was like a cat who succeeded in doing bad things.

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

Xiaogu Volleyball Club

"Coach! Isn't Coach Tianhai here yet?" Mutu was a little frustrated holding the ball.

He has been waiting for a long time.

Tianhai taught him the straight-line smash last time! He is becoming more and more proficient now, and relied on this to score a lot of points in this game.

I wonder if Tianhai will give him a new smash this time.

He liked the oblique vertical smash that Tianhai used during the US High School competition! When he watched the replay of the game, his blood boiled with excitement!

What's the difference between this and a samurai having a peerless sword!

"Mutu—calm down." His teammates couldn't do anything to Mutu.

If this continues, if coach Tianhai doesn't come, this guy will almost enter a negative mode.

But they are also looking forward to the arrival of Tianhai.

It’s not that coach Tianhai, who they only met once, has brought more help than coach CCB, their secret road coach in Xiaogu.

But I have to admit that Tianhai's championship aura and strength in high school have made his image and influence in the hearts of high school players more than just a coach.

Also a "star player".

At the very least, Bokuto felt that he needed to learn from him in terms of smashing.

·

"I'm here!"

Tianhai walked into the gymnasium and saw Mutu jumping excitedly.

'Look at this energetic look, it's such a big sun...'

Thinking of this, he kind of missed Zhonghe in the team. I don’t know if I’ve been practicing seriously since I haven’t seen him in the past few days.

The distant Aoba Josai volleyball club.

"A sneeze——" Zhonghe sneezed loudly. Then he naturally explained to everyone,

"Don't get me wrong, I don't have a cold. It's Coach Tianhai who misses me."

Maebashi couldn't even hide the black lines on his face. He really couldn't bear it when facing this junior who was always playing tricks! "

If you don't wear a coat after exercising again, you are really done." After greeting the Anlu coach, Tianhai sat aside and watched Xiaogu's team practice match. I don't know if it was because under Tianhai's gaze, Mutu's behavior was not as big as usual, but full of fierceness. "His condition is really good today. It's completely different from just now." Konoha on the other side of the net shook Bokuto's numb arm after smashing the ball and sighed. Bokuto then hit several extremely smooth straight shots in succession. Even on the last ball, his high leap made Coach Anlu and Coach Takizawa stand up in surprise. "His reach...has it increased again?" · There was a noise outside the gym. Tianhai turned around and looked - 'Are they a group of junior high school students? How come there are junior high school students in every school? ’ He looked at Coach Takizawa with doubtful eyes. "As expected of the wooden rabbit specially recruited by Xiaogu College, I think he can become one of the three main attackers in two years." The visiting junior high school students walked to the entrance of the stadium, and the sound of discussion made everyone in the stadium People can hear clearly. Coach Takizawa and the leading teachers and students asked a few questions, and then came back and explained to Tianhai: "The third-year junior high school students who came to Xiaogu College today all have the quota of recommended to Xiaogu College." "Recommended" The words were like thunder in the ears of Tianhai, a former Chinese student, and he instantly looked at several junior high school students with admiring eyes. "Akarei? Are you watching Bokuto-senpai? It's time for us to visit the next club." The call of his companion woke Akawei from the scene he saw when he first entered the door. Mutu's tall figure, stretched arms, and indomitable eyes are engraved in his mind like a painting. "What a star." Chiwei admired secretly, turned around and left, but made a decision in his heart. As soon as Mutu landed on the ground, he couldn't help but turn around and ask Tianhai: "Coach Tianhai! Look how my straight shot is!" "It's great! I have the momentum of a future ace!" After receiving the compliment, Mutu's hair even changed. It's harder. "HEEEY! I am the strongest HEY!" Second-year senior Futakawa Teru helplessly led the first-year students to agree, "As expected of a raptor, so handsome -" Akwei, who left not long ago and was heading to the next club, felt like he was It was an auditory hallucination, "Kawauchi, did you hear an animal howling somewhere?" Naturally, my companions who were already focused on other clubs didn't hear it. "You heard it wrong, Chiwei? There is no forest near Xiaogu, so how can there be animals howling?" "That's right." Chiwei nodded. I must have heard wrongly. · Owl Valley has made great gains. Free agent Komi Haruki has already admired this main attacker. Is this the legendary "If you don't want to be a free agent's main attacker, you are not a good coach?" Tianhai's height is not an advantage as a free agent. A higher center of gravity would have lengthened his diving time, but his receiving accuracy is much higher than that of Haruki Omi. After Tianhai's explanation, Xiaojian understood what Tianhai relied on - the ability to predict where the ball would land. A straight line is the shortest between two points. This is something everyone has learned in middle school. After predicting the location of the ball's landing point, you can use the shortest distance to get there as quickly as possible. You can even wait where you should be in advance. Xiao Jian seemed to have opened the door to a new world. Seeing the other person's "I understand" expression, Tianhai nodded with satisfaction. This is the best ability of Vincent, the libero in his high school team. Sometimes it is so exaggerated that as soon as the opponent's attacker touches the volleyball, he will realize the opponent's landing point. Like a cheating device, he is called by his fans - "the person who can see two seconds of the future." Having been together for three years, I and the others in the team have somewhat learned some of this top-notch prediction ability. 'Where is Vincent now? It seems to be a club in Argentina? With this kid's ability, he should be able to reach the main selection position soon, and he should be very busy now. Tianhai thought about the recent contacts he had with the other party, which were not many. · After two days of training with the Xiaogu players, Tianhai discovered that the first-year students in Xiaogu were quite strong. Let’s not talk about Wood Rabbit, the ace’s reserve. Konoha Akuki and Washio Tatsuo both have great abilities. It is estimated that in two years' time, Xiao Gu will be able to write a more outstanding answer in the Spring High School competition. Tianhai stayed in Xiaogu for two full days before heading to the next stop, Humei Academy. In fact, if Xiaogu hadn't needed to go to Jingda Mountain for a practice match, he would have probably stayed here for another two days. "A whole 48 hours! Shiyi, do you know how I spent it?" Sitting in the car, Tianhai wanted to cry but had no tears. He felt like he had gone to a magic academy. From the moment he opens his eyes to the moment he closes them, he carries an owl on his shoulder wherever he goes. What's even more outrageous is that after everyone in Xiao Valley saw that they could prevent Wood Rabbit from entering the negative mode and hit every ball energetically, they directly regarded themselves as owl breeders and entrusted Wood Rabbit to themselves! "Thanks for your hard work, Ashu." Shi Yi also sighed and touched the chip that was still hot due to over-calculation.

He was not idle either, and concentrated on recording a "Long-eared Wood Rabbit Observation Manual" - he accumulated 34 notes in just 48 hours.

Before leaving, he asked Tianhai to put the notes on the activity table of Xiaogu Club.

Young men in Xiaogu, we can only help you so much.

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

It was another two days before I left Humei Academy.

Tenkai bid farewell to Tomi's coach Dashui and arrived at Tokyo Station.

Sitting in the car, looking at the Tokyo trees getting smaller and smaller outside the window, Tianhai had a smile on his face, recalling this rich trip to Tokyo.

Although it's not quite what I imagined, it's still interesting.

It has been seven days since the last time I sent four students back to Miyagi, and I don’t know how they have been training recently.

"Ding bell—" a message alert came from the mobile phone.

"Who will send me a message now?"

Tianhai turned on his phone and saw the content displayed on the screen, and the smile on his face froze.

"What!"

How could this happen!

Shiyi had never seen Tianhai show such anxious emotions before, and quickly asked: "Tianhai, what happened?"

"Senior Kageyama is seriously ill and hospitalized!"

As

soon as he left the station, Tianhai took a taxi directly to the address on the message. Hospital.

"Senior Kageyama, are you okay?" Tianhai found the ward number and walked in.

What he saw was Kageyama Kazuo lying on the bed sucking oxygen, and Kageyama Tobio standing next to him.

Kageyama Tobio, who was still a junior high school student and had never experienced anything like this, had tears on his face and his eyes were filled with confusion.

Tianhai hugged him quickly and touched his head comfortingly.

I spent a day in the unfamiliar environment of the hospital, surrounded by unfamiliar doctors and nurses. Suddenly seeing a familiar person, Kageyama's voice was filled with tears and confusion.

"Coach Tianhai..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Tianhai gently patted his back and comforted him.

Kageyama suddenly broke away from his arms and ran out of the ward.

Tianhai wanted to stop him, but was stopped by the person on the hospital bed.

"Let him be quiet."

Tianhai then turned around and looked at Kageyama Kazuyo on the hospital bed.

The old man's condition is really not good.

Although they had not seen each other for only two months, Tianhai could hardly recognize that the bleak old man in front of him was the energetic retired coach when they first met.

"Senior Kageyama, how could it happen suddenly..."

God knows, he was so frightened that he turned pale when he received the news that Kageyama was seriously ill.

"Who can predict life, old age, illness and death?

Tianhai, I didn't want to trouble you at first. But Feixiong really makes me worried."

Feixiong's dedication to volleyball far exceeds that of others. In elementary school, in order to make the game last longer, he would even give the ball to his opponent. This was not a good thing or a bad thing.

He has found a familiar friend to take care of Miyu's child. As for Feixiong, the first thing he thought of was Tianhaishu, whom he had only met once.

"Feixiong's sister has given up playing volleyball. Feixiong usually doesn't have very close friends due to his personality, but he is a very good child. I am worried that he will not be happy after I leave. Even gave up volleyball..."

Tianhai turned around unbearably, not daring to look directly at the old man on the bed.

Kageyama Kazuyo continued:

"The doctor said that my condition may worsen at any time now. I can't take better care of Tobio in this situation.

You once said that you were recruiting students, so I will transfer the fees to you first. . Can you... take care of Xiao Feixiong for a while?"

There was a sob from outside the ward door that was not closed.

Tianhai, who had a complex expression on his face, nodded,

"It's my pleasure. There will be no need for expenses, let's leave it to the children."

Seeing Tianhai agree, Kageyama Yiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

He has lived for decades, but he still believes in his own vision - the young child in front of him is Feixiong's best choice now.

Soon, Kageyama Tobio's sister Kageyama Miwa returned to the ward, and it seemed that she had just dealt with the hospital bill.

"Hello, Coach Amami."

Kageyama Miu was not surprised to see a strange foreigner, but bowed respectfully.

Obviously grandpa has told her his thoughts, and she respects Tianhai very much.

The two talked in lowered voices.

In the blink of an eye, Kageyama Kazuyo was already asleep on the bed. He was seriously ill, so he had to work hard to communicate with Tianhai for so long.

"The doctor said that grandpa has just come out of the critical period and may get worse at any time in the next few months."

Speaking of this, Kageyama Miu's eyes flashed with tears.

"Even if the treatment is successful, it is very likely that it will not last beyond next year's summer vacation."

Seeing her loved ones seriously ill but unable to do anything, she really felt helpless.

Not understanding why the Meiyu siblings' parents didn't show up, Tianhai had no choice but to comfort the still young girl.

"Well... leave Tobio's affairs to me, I will do my best. This is my contact information. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me."

·

Saying goodbye to Kageyama Miu, Tenkai walked out of the ward. A corner of the stairs is revealed in the distance.

"Tobio."

Kageyama Tobio felt a figure blocking the light. The gentle voice made his eyes fill with tears again.

"Am I useless..."

Not only can I not help my grandfather, but I also have to trouble my grandfather to ask someone to take care of him.

Tianhai hugged the boy in front of him again - this time the boy did not break away.

"No, because you and Miu are the most important people in grandpa's heart. That's why he was the first to find me and his friends after he fell into coma. I hope we will take good care of you."

Kageyama Tobio tugged on the corner of Amami's clothes and cried. Very sad. It would be a good thing for him to let out all the emotions he had been holding back.

So, please go on with the expectations of grandpa... Tobio Kageyama.

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

Everyone in Qingcheng returned to Qingcheng's gymnasium for training the day after the finals of the qualifiers.

Before leaving, Zhonghe held the fitness equipment and volleyball net that had been with him for a long time and burst into tears.

"I really can't bear to leave you - I don't know when I'll see you next time."

Nan Chuan looked at his reluctant look and sneered.

"Hey, you guy! The moment you saw the school banner hanging up, you said you wanted to live in the school forever! Why can't you let it go now!"

Machii was collecting the team members' information and at the same time directed Toushi to collect sportswear and water bottles.

"I'll come back before spring high school! - It's time to clean up now"

...

"When will coach Tianhai come back? I'm starting to miss him." Maebashi stretched on the ground.

I am used to Coach Tianhai being there to guide me, but now I miss him after not seeing him for such a long time.

Coach Mizoguchi also sighed. "I've been back to Qingcheng Gym for more than ten days."

"It's all Xiaoyan's fault! When the coach was discovered, he didn't know how to cover it up and failed to protect the coach!" Oikawa pointed at Iwaizumi and spoke righteously.

Iwaizumi dropped the volleyball in his hand and walked towards Oikawa step by step. The black energy behind him was like a scene from hell.

"Wow, it hurts!"

The second-year students did not pay attention to the volleyball club's daily repertoire - Iwaizumi and Oikawa Tetsu.

Except for the monster Zhonghe Taiyang, who had unlimited physical strength during the day, everyone else fell to the ground exhausted.

"Why! Coach Tianhai is not here, but the plan is still intact!" Nanchuan was lying on the ground, holding a volleyball in his arms.

The door to the head coach's office suddenly opened, and Coach Irihata ignored a large group of lying players. "Tianhai sent a message saying that he will be back tomorrow - and will also bring a friend's child to visit."

"Okay. ! I want to eat the delicious food made by the coach!" Zhonghe and Ueda jumped three feet high. They really miss the snacks Tianhai makes every day!

Oikawa scratched his head: "What friend's child? I never heard the teacher say that."

Coach Irihata didn't answer his question, but reminded him of another thing.

"Now that he's back, our training match plan is about to begin. Have you not forgotten?"

Looking at the trembling team members who turned their heads to the side, Irihata repeated with a smile:

"You haven't forgotten, have you?" "
