Chapter 55

[Good serve, Oikawa!

One more goal! !

The wooden rabbit opposite is so unexpected! No wonder Xiao Gu coaxed him so much. Pay attention to defense! 】

This is....?

The lights are so dazzling...

[It's just the first round, keep at it! Let one chase two! ]

No...

[Tiankai... Coach Iriyata, what should we do next?

Is there no other way? 】

It's not like this!

[Chuntao is indeed a place where geniuses gather.

After watching this wonderful game, Chungao will not be more surprised to see any player's tactics in the future. 】

The orange color of the center court is so dazzling. It turns out that this is...

Chuntao?

"Oikawa, Oikawa, wake up, it's time to get off the car."

Tianhai gently pushed Oikawa, who was frowning and falling into a nightmare, and increased the shaking force on his hand.

Who's shaking?

Whoa—

Oikawa, whose eyes were closed, suddenly struggled, startling the Qingcheng team members who were surrounding him.

"Oikawa, why do you sleep so soundly? You didn't respond when we called you."

"Getting ready to get out of the car."

Oikawa covered his eyes that were pierced by the strong sunlight, "Sorry, I just fell asleep. Is there a competition soon? "I'll go wash my face with cold water."

Zhonghe and Dongsi looked at each other.

Machii burst out laughing, "Oikawa, you really need to wash your face."

"The Spring High School competition is over. Are you sleepy and still thinking about the competition?"

It's over?

Oikawa was stunned for five seconds. The memory of the past two days was belatedly coming back. He rubbed his temples, which were still aching.

He misremembered, the game ended yesterday afternoon

- Aoba Josai and Sannomiya Koko High School in Mie Prefecture won the final 3:2.

It's just that he still feels unreal.

The match against Xiao Gu was so intense that I was still experiencing the scene on the field in my dream.

·

"One goal!" "Ahhh, Xiaogu Academy!"

"Come on Xiaogu!"

In future semi-final matches, spectators will be prohibited from cheering during matches to avoid disturbing the field.

So after the first game, the shouts of Xiaogu fans almost lifted the roof.

"Kotaro Kitato, the main attacker of Obuya Academy, demonstrated to the audience with his strength the reason why he was selected as the main selection of the strong school Obuya in the first grade!"

"The main attacker with the most offensive types in this spring high school has appeared!

Whether it is a straight-line attack Even the small diagonal ball, Kotaro Kotaro, the No. 11 main attacker of Otoya, can do it! "

Offensive Kaleidoscope!

Behind the revelry of the Otoya audience is the tense look of

Aoba Jonishi's first game . Trailing Xiaogu by a big score of five points.

They faced endless and varied attacks, whether it was front-row blocking or back-row defense.

"How to deal with Mutu's offense next? "Someone asked.

Tianhai, who was most trusted by Qingcheng and could quickly adjust his status to everyone, was unable to provide support outside the court at this time.

'What should I do, Oikawa, think about it...'

Oikawa supported his knees , took over the responsibility of team command without any hesitation.

The midfield time was really short, and Aoki didn't decide on the next strategy

until the middle of the second game, and coach Irihata's plan was combined with Oikawa Kon. After ten minutes of on-court adjustments, Qingcheng gradually changed his rhythm, allowing Bokuto to fall into the trap and regain the match point.

Qingcheng even used Oikawa as the main offensive center, taking advantage of Bokuto's several attacks . He won the last game when he was stuck in a negative mode. His

constant mental thinking made him move much less. Oikawa's supporters outside the court even thought that Oikawa's energy was exhausted

. , this is the most tiring game he has ever played

- even the qualifying final against Shiratorizawa can't compare to this.

The key to seeing Qingcheng's comeback lies in the darkness of the setter's bench. Coach Lu secretly made up his mind that the new starting setter

would be better if he could control Mutu's temper.

.

The finals lasted five games. Fortunately, coach Tianhai made frequent substitutions, and the Qingcheng players were not even tired from facing Xiaogu in the semifinals.

·

After regaining consciousness, Oikawa followed the others. Get out of the car.

In the original plan, if the Qingcheng Volleyball Club achieved good results in Spring High School, they would stay in Tokyo for two days and have a good time.

But after they actually won the championship, the whole team unanimously agreed on the closing ceremony. As soon as the award ceremony was over, he returned to Miyagi County the next day.

When the news reporters rushed to the hotel where Qingcheng lived, they learned that Qingcheng was already on the return bus and

had not let Oikawa go. He stretched out his hand to grab the collar of the back of Oikawa's neck and shook it gently,

"I told you! We are the champions, you just forgot? ! "

Iwaizumi walked past in the back of the car. He yawned widely and rarely defended Oikawa.

"Asshole Oikawa was so excited about winning the championship that he didn't go to bed until six in the morning. He didn't faint because he was in good health. "

The sound of tossing and turning in the bed next door was so noisy that he didn't even fall asleep.

"You actually revealed Oikawa's unknown side directly, Iwaizumi!

"Well done! " “

But Oikawa looked quite natural when he took the trophy. Many fans tweeted that they love the rational and calm setter.

"Eh - so scheming, Oikawa-sama~

Is that what you shouted? " "

Hearing the jokes from everyone in Qingcheng, Oikawa quickly brought the topic to Iwaizumi.

"That's because Xiaoyan was snoring too loudly! And he was tossing and turning without sleeping! It was so noisy that I couldn't sleep! "

Iwaizumi:???

He grabbed the ball from the Qingcheng Volleyball Club next to him and threw it over.

"Ah!

--it hurts! Even Teacher Tianhai has never hit me!

"Why should I hit you? " "

Tianhai was in the car packing up the Chungao peripherals and volleyballs that had not been brought back to the department activity room.

As soon as he got off the car, he heard Oikawa mumbling about what he wanted to do.

"Teacher Tianhai, Xiaoyan hit me!" Oikawa complained without hesitation.

"I said you..."

Just when Tianhai wanted to say something, violent cheers suddenly erupted from the teaching buildings around the bus.

"Aoba Josai - Champion!" "Welcome back!"

"Champion of Spring High School!"

The Qingcheng students after class were standing by the window, with little heads lying on the windows of the teaching building.

"[Welcome the Spring High School Champions to Return]"

Maebashi squinted and read out the banner just produced by the student union last night, "Ah, the welcome ceremony was so warm and touching -"

Machii vaguely heard the sound of "rumbling" footsteps.

"Hey, hey, hey, is it okay for them to rush over?!"

But his exclamation was obviously too late. A group of students rushed out of the door of the teaching building

- Machii swore that he definitely saw his classmates from inside!

Didn’t he say that sports are the most boring thing? !

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"Our Mandarin teacher didn't even attend class today, but he showed us the replay of your game!"

"It's amazing! I never imagined that Toushi-kun would be so dazzling on TV!"

"Swish! He stopped it! The ball on the opposite side. "Let's take a photo!"

...

The entire Qingcheng volleyball club was surrounded for nearly half an hour. In the end, students from the Student Union's Discipline Department came to organize the matter, and these students returned to the classroom to continue the class.

Just looking at their unwilling expressions before leaving, everyone felt that

before the heat of Chungao's championship dissipated, the volleyball club might not be able to find a quiet day.

Finally, when everyone else left, Zhonghe ran to the volleyball club activity room first, clutching the bag in his hand.

"Coach, let's put the volleyballs first!"

Looking at the backpack with medals and trophies in his hand, I'm afraid the volleyballs are fake, but finding a place to put the trophies and medals is real.

"Hey! Zhonghe! Be careful, don't drop the trophy!" Coach Mizoguchi was a little worried, but Zhonghe disappeared as soon as he disappeared.

Others walked back to the volleyball club laughing and joking.

"I've walked this road countless times in the past three years..." Maebashi rubbed his hair and smiled as he talked to Ueda, who was walking side by side.

Ueda, who always responded to him, said nothing.

.When

everyone arrived at the volleyball club, certificates and medals were solemnly hung in the activity room, and the trophy cabinet next to it finally received the first Spring High trophy.

"Zhonghe."

Ueda suddenly spoke after being quiet for a long time.

The smiles on the faces of everyone in Qingcheng gradually faded away, and everyone was aware of the next step

- the third grade withdrawal ceremony.

"Nakakura, as the main attacker, you are very strong. I am relieved to leave the team to you."

Ueda put the coat representing the No. 1 captain in Nakakura's hand, and he took the initiative to consult with the coach after the game. Choose the next captain.

"Yes, captain!" Zhonghe took over the jacket and shouted the last captain.

"Machii, with you standing behind Qingcheng, Qingcheng will be the strongest."

"Yes!"

"Touji, become confident. You can stop the secondary attack of the top attackers in the country."

Touji lowered his head. Tears were already overflowing from his eyes.

"Yes!"

"Kusukawa, you are a very good jumper on the court. You are the key player to save the game. With you here, Qingcheng's double setter is still the biggest weapon."

"Yes!"

Ueda set his sights on Oikawa, "Oikawa..."

"I believe you will go further and grow higher."

As the captain, he can feel that Oikawa's future in volleyball will be far-reaching. Far more than others in Qingcheng. But no matter how far away they are, these seniors are the pillars of Qingcheng's juniors.

"Yes! Captain!"

Oikawa bent at ninety degrees and pursed his lips tightly

- senior...

And when Ueda's eyes turned to Iwaizumi, his style suddenly changed, "Iwaizumi, remember to look at Oikawa from now on. , don’t ask him to go too far.”

The person in the team who reassures Ueda the most is Iwaizumi.

The solemn atmosphere in Qingcheng due to the third grade's withdrawal from the club was swept away. Even Touji, who just couldn't hold back his tears, laughed and cheered: "Captain, don't worry! We will keep an eye on him!" Oikawa

was still immersed in emotion. Inside, he was caught off guard and heard his own name,

"Captain! I'm obviously taking care of Xiao Yan!" He was still speaking harshly.

Thanks to Oikawa's contribution to adjusting the atmosphere, Qingcheng's subsequent arrangements were not sensational at all.

After Naoto Toijima, Takahiro Hanamaki and Kazushige Matsukawa were announced as the new main candidates, Aoki's retirement ceremony was half completed.

"From now on, it will be our turn to watch you play in the audience~"

"We will work hard, senior." Iwaizumi looked at Ueda and Maebashi and promised.

A trace of tears flashed in Maebashi's eyes, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Let's go! Let's go eat ramen!"

This is the tradition of the Aoba Josai Volleyball Club - you must go to a ramen shop once you retire from the club in the third grade!

·

"Old man! One more bowl!"

Maebashi put Haidada's bowl on the counter with a snap.

"Hey! You're still eating. This is your third bowl." The third-year team member who also retired from the club was a little worried. Is it really okay to eat like this?

Maebashi didn't care too much, "This is the last time the volleyball club and I have a meal. It's okay to eat more. Besides, it's the coach's treat!"

Coach Irihata, who was sitting drinking, heard this and reminded him,

"This is not the last time." Once. We returned to Miyagi but postponed all the interviews. They will come to Qingcheng for interviews in a few days." Coach Mizoguchi smiled - he was not as good at drinking

.

Iriyata, already a little dizzy, said,

"It's great to win the championship."

Yes, it's great.

On the other side, Tianhai and Oikawa Iwaizumi, who could not drink, sat together.

"Teacher, can you tell me if Mavericks will come to the training ground tomorrow? Can I borrow the medals from the department for a day?"

Oikawa had already finished eating, put down his chopsticks, and asked Xiang Tianhai

. Knowing the purpose made Iwaizumi's fist feel a little itchy while he was still eating.

Everyone knows that he is not holding anything back.

"Hey! Eat well! Don't make things difficult for Teacher Tianhai." Iwaizumi lightly kicked Oikawa's calf as a warning.

Although he had the same idea before, he gave up the idea after receiving Ushijima's congratulatory message.

Speaking of Ushijima, Tianhai thought of the message he received on his phone yesterday congratulating Qingcheng for winning the spring high school championship.

——Not only Ushijima, but also Shoyo, Kageyama, Tendo, Goshiki, as well as Hoshikai in Nagano and the Miya twins in Hyogo.

It made people wonder if they were all glued to the TV, and the message was sent as soon as the game was over.

Mutu also gave congratulations as soon as the game ended, but not through a message.

The kid rushed to him from the audience stand. It also attracted many reporters. In the end, after struggling for a long time, the coach on the secret road took him back to the bus.

"Teacher?"

Oikawa was a little confused when the young man opposite him didn't speak.

Tianhai recovered from the chaotic scene after the finals,

"Sorry, I just thought about something. Everyone except Mutu and Xinghai should be here tonight."

- The students learned that the three of them returned to Qingcheng today and couldn't wait to make an appointment in the evening.

Thinking of Xiangyang jumping up and down with anxiety in the communication, Tianhai couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Oikawa was also satisfied, "Hmph, then I will be very angry at Niuruo."

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

"Ashu! Qingcheng After winning the championship, your mission as a coach in Qingcheng is completed. What do you want to do next?"

Shiyi was a little excited as he held thousands of mission points.

Tianhai is adjusting the machine and preparing the nursing training ground. Hearing Shi Yi's question, he kept moving his hands, "The coaching certificate requires training and examination in April this year. I will need to return to the United States to take the examination. When I get the coaching certificate, it

will not be until July at the earliest."

It means missing the IH qualifiers in Qingcheng.

"After coming back, will Ashu resign from Qingcheng?" Shi Yi was a little sad.

Tianhai paused, "Of course not."

If he initially joined Qingcheng just to complete the task of "becoming the school volleyball coach" and fulfill the agreement with Coach Washi.

So now Qingcheng has long become a companion and responsibility in his heart - even though there is no mission requirement, he chooses to stay in Qingcheng.

"However, we may discuss with Coach Irihata to become an assistant coach."

...

"So, after you come back from the United States, teacher, you will become an assistant coach! You will only be responsible for the training plan and external schools. Communicate?"

Oikawa shouted with disbelief.

"Okay! We will invite the master then!" Xiangyang was sitting cross-legged on the ground one second, and the next second he was so excited that he ran across the training ground.

"Hey! Little one, you haven't gone to Karasuno yet!"

Ushijima looked away from the trophy Oikawa brought, "If that's the case, we Shiratorizawa will also invite you."

In fact, from all over the country, Harutaka At the beginning of the competition, Coach Washi had hinted many times that Tendou would invite Coach Tenkai to communicate.

Tianhai agreed quickly.

"Okay. I'm leaving when your new school year starts, and there are still three months left."

These three months are enough for him to arrange his training plan before the summer vacation, and he can return home with confidence.
