Chapter 35

The game begins!

The result of the draw was that Aoba Castle West served first.

Oikawa exhaled deeply as he stood at the tee point. As a former pursuer, he naturally knew how the people behind him kept catching up.

Therefore, he will not slow down!

He concentrated and threw the ball high

- without the dazzling lights on the playing field, Oikawa's ceiling jump serve was much less powerful, but that didn't mean the opponent could catch it!

"Bang!!"

Yamagata Hayato gritted his teeth and looked at the volleyball that bounced off his arm and landed on the ground.

"Damn it, it's my problem!"

Even though I had undergone special training during this period, why could I still not receive the opponent's serve?

As if sensing his teammates' reluctance, Tendo patted Yamagata's back with his hand.

"Yamagata-kun—don't mind! Oikawa-kun's evolved version is serving the ball so hard that even Wakali can't catch it."

Hearing this, the Shiratorizawa team members all looked at Ushijima in surprise.

They knew that Ushijima and Tendou would go to coach Tenkai to train recently. But little did he know that Oikawa was there and would make such great progress!

No wonder Coach Washi mentioned to the team that Coach Tenkai is really good at teaching students.

"Yeah."

Ushijima admitted simply.

He only had a 60% chance of receiving Oikawa's serve, and it was not Yamagata's fault if he failed to receive it.

Several people from Shiratorizawa gathered around Yamagata to communicate and comfort the free man. It seemed like a long time passed, but in fact it was only ten seconds.

"Beep—" Coach Mizoguchi blew the whistle to signal the start of the next ball.

Oikawa stood at the tee point and smiled at Ohira.

'You're the one who ordered omelette rice today, right? Let’s try the taste of rice dumplings. The fierce expression on Oikawa

's face scared Ohira on the opposite side. Before he could react when the ball hit him, Aoba Jonishi scored another point.

"Oikawa, you did a great job!" "One more goal!"

Machii and Touji ran over to high-five.

Facing the fiercely fighting "Maids Trio" on the opposite side, the members of Shiratorizawa broke into a cold sweat behind their backs.

Damn, this is for us.

·

"Well done! Ushijima!"

Ushijima, with the ball lifted by Semi Eita, bypassed the blocker and hit the ball behind Machii.

"Tsk, this setter..."

After another goal ended, Tianhai looked at Shiratorizawa's new setter and let out a light tut.

The setter, who briefly played in the finals of the qualifying round, really shined in this practice match.

The first-year Eita Semi replaced the former setter Aibu and soon became the starting team member.

I thought he was a ball lifter who was dedicated to serving the ace, but now it seems that this new setter is even more independent than the original Aibe Kuai.

"Why did Coach Washi Takumi agree to make him the starter! Didn't he say that all the setters in Shiratorizawa must serve Ushijima?"

Amami murmured to himself, that shouldn't be the case.

What he didn't expect was that a large part of the reason had to do with him.

In the past, Shiratorizawa's failures were often due to the fact that the team's teamwork was not good enough, and they lost in national competitions. Coach Washi Takumi was just not satisfied with the fact that the second pass did not pass the ball to Ushijima, who was the absolute core.

Until not long ago, Shiratorizawa was defeated by Aoba Jonishi's multi-point attack model with setter as the core.

Only then did Washi Takumi realize that maybe the setter could choose his own offensive personnel. All he asked was that the setter trust the main attacker 100%.

However, it was difficult to change the habit that Aangbe Kai had in the first two years of his schooling in Ushijima.

Comparing the two, Semi Eita has become the best choice in Shiratorizawa today. And his appearance made it much more difficult for Shiratorizawa.

·

"This is the main attacker!"

Kentaro Kyotani had a rare shock on his face.

He stared at Iwaizumi's catching and smashing, his eyes full of competitiveness: "I really want to play with him."

Ever since Iwaizumi grabbed his hand in the restaurant, it was so strong that he couldn't break free - he I am very curious about Qingcheng Volleyball Club.

Tianhai noticed his hot gaze and said, "How is it? Isn't our first grade ace very powerful?"

"Yes, very powerful."

But he is so powerful, but he is not the ace yet?

Kyotani Kentaro didn't show anything on his face, but he was a little confused: "Is there anyone stronger than him?" ’

He turned his attention from Iwaizumi to the entire Qingcheng team, and instantly discovered the person who was incompatible with serious competition.

"Is he Qingcheng's ace?" Kyotani's pupils reflected a boy with pink hair.

Zhonghe Taiyang on the court seems to have no scruples and relies on intuition to attack everything.

But only by careful observation can one discover that, faced with countless ways of attacking, the boy will always choose the best one - this is a beast-like person who makes the best use of his own intuition.

"Oikawa! Give me the ball!" "Okay! Look at my lightning-thunder angle kick!"

Seeing Zhonghe Taiyang happily scoring goals on the court, the people watching on the side thought for a moment that he was playing an entertainment game.

"Hmph, you guys are more suitable to go to Jiaozenji Temple."

Washi Takumi looked at the young man jumping up and down on the field, looking so relaxed that he seemed to be having fun, and said "Humph".

Their ace is better, so calm.

"Are you, Coach Washi, praising me for being simple and strong? Thank you!" Zhonghe heard what Washi was saying on the sidelines and immediately shouted his thanks.

At the same time, he did not forget to break through Tendo's block and slam down a diagonal ball.

"Succeeded! Oikawa, this short flat pass was so smooth this time!"

"Well done!"

"Sure enough, there are people in Aoba City who are trying to defeat me! It's all caused by this boy Tianhai!"

Qi Coach Teng looked at the trembling Vulture Builder beside him, and silently decided to bring a quick-acting heart-saving pill next time.

Tianhai, who was glared at by the Eagle Craftsman without doing anything at the side: No, is this also my fault?

·

The practice match between the two teams took more than three hours.

Since both sides have improved a lot, and they are old opponents, they are very familiar with each other's offensive characteristics. As a result, the score in every game was over 30.

After all, Shiratorizawa had just introduced a new player, and their coordination was not perfect, and they eventually lost the game 1-2.

Coach Irimata and Coach Washi shook hands and thanked him, and then Shiratorizawa left Aoba Castle Nishi by car.

After arranging the opening hours of the maid restaurant for the next day, Tianhai turned to look at Kentaro Kyoutani who had watched the entire scene.

"How's it going, Kyotani-san? Isn't the Aoba Jouni volleyball club very good?"

Kyotani's eyes were bright, and he had long been eager to go on the field and join the game.

"Well, that's great!"

"Which junior high school are you studying in now?" Tianhai was a little curious - maybe if he knew more about it, he could be turned over now?

"South No. 3 Middle School."

"Ah? Isn't that a pretty strong junior high school? The one that had a back-and-forth with Shirasuikan this year."

Coach Irihata obviously paid attention to the results of each junior high school. Although South No. 3 Middle School is not as good as North No. 1, one of the top schools in Miyagi Prefecture, it is still a very strong school.

Kyotani's answer shocked several coaches present: "Yeah, but he's not the strongest."

Hearing Kyotani's very flattering words, Oikawa walked over with a smile and wanted to put his arm on his shoulder. "You're right."

Then Kyoutani looked wary and took a step back, away from Oikawa.

"What? I'm so sad qaq."

Oikawa pretended to be aggrieved and complained to Iwaizumi, "Xiaoyan, I was disliked by my junior classmate."

"Huh?"

Iwaizumi stretched on the ground and turned his head after hearing the words and said naturally: "This Isn't it normal?"

Touji also responded mercilessly: "I feel like Oikawa will be disliked by the younger generation in the future."

As for Oikawa's "underclassman", no one raised any objections

- after all. , the good prospects are already in front of them, and if they can let him run away, then he is not the coach Tianhai they know.

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

"You said Coach Kurosu invited you to go to Inarizaki?"

Shiyi repeated Tenkai's words.

Tianhai looked at the text messages between Gong Yu and Miyaji on his mobile phone:

"Hello, Coach Tianhai, Coach Kurosu would like to invite you to Inarizaki. Do you have time?" This was from Miyaji.

"Coach Tenkai!!! Come to Hyogo! I'll show you my junior high school and the high school I'm about to go to!

I watched a lot of your game videos a few days ago! Once you played a double setter tactic as a setter I watched that scene five times...Expand/Collapse "

This is Gong Yoo.

Gemini's text message was sent first. After Tianhai read it and it showed that it had been read, Supervisor Kurosu's message was sent immediately.

He would never believe it if the two little foxes and Coach Blackbeard were not sitting together now.

Coach Kurosu’s appointment happened to be next weekend. He can make plans and arrangements for Qingcheng in advance. When the time comes, you can go to Hyogo and make the round trip on the same day.

After all, Inarizaki is this year's ih semi-finals. If he gets to know Coach Kurosu, Aojo might be able to arrange a training match with Inarizaki.

A win-win situation! !

Thinking like this, Tianhai replied:

"Thank you very much for your invitation. I will go there on time next Saturday."

Just as he was about to send it, he remembered the sentence in Gong You's message,

"If Xiangyang is willing to come, can you bring him with you?" "Coach Tianhai, please—"

Xiangyang and Gong You often chatted online after their last meeting in Tokyo, and their relationship quickly improved.

Thinking that Xiangyang might be happy to go, Tianhai stopped replying to Coach Kurosu and called Xiangyang instead.

"Master——! What's the matter? I practiced at school today! The women's volleyball team didn't practice today! They allowed me to use that venue!"

Xiangyang's excitement came through the phone, sharing today's happiness with the teacher .

"Wow, congratulations, Xiangyang, how do you feel?" Tianhai did not interrupt him, but encouraged him to continue.

After Xiangyang almost finished telling what happened today, he remembered that he hadn't asked his master why he called him.

"Master, what are you calling for?"

Tianhai looked at the training schedule that Xiangyang sent him before, and found out from it that next weekend - well, there are not many training arrangements.

"It's the supervisor Inarizaki Kurosu introduced by Miyayu and Miyaji. He invited me to go to Hyogo Prefecture next Saturday for exchange. Miyayu asked me to take you with him. Do you want to go?"

"What!! Of course I will go. Master - I haven't seen you for a long time! I'm so happy!"

Tianhai suddenly thought of something and reminded: "Xiangyang, please finish your weekend homework first on Friday."

Last time he went to Tokyo, he forgot to ask Xiangyang if he had finished his homework, and Xiangyang himself also forgot - later he heard that the child had to make up for it in the middle of the night and didn't finish it until after eleven o'clock.

"Okay...Master..."

"Don't immediately slump when it comes to homework, Shoyo!"

"Master, I will finish it seriously!! For this week's trip to Hyogo - rush!!"
