Chapter 8 Best Setter

After the final exam, on the first weekend of winter vacation, the gymnasium in Miyagi Prefecture welcomed a large number of people to watch the volleyball game. The whole gym was crowded and bustling.

The winter was hazy, and the fog covered the gray sky. This much-anticipated game made Haruka Ishikawa get up from the warm bed when the sky was slightly light. She had been looking forward to this battle between old rivals for a long time.

In Area A of the volleyball gym, players from both sides began to enter the field one after another.

Haruka Ishikawa walked to the cheering audience seats belonging to Kitagawa Daiichi, and Toru Ishikawa reserved a seat for her on the first-year side.

Kageyama Tobio held the cheering megaphone, sitting upright on the seat, his black and shiny hair obediently sticking to the back of his owner's head. He was like a cat that saw a ball of fur, and his eyes followed wherever the volleyball flew on the court.

When he was concentrating on the flying ball on the court, there was a shallow breathing sound of someone beside him, and a cool breath like the first snow lingered in his nose.

"Long time no see, Kageyama, Kunimi, Kindaichi." Iikawa Haruka, wearing a black wool coat, greeted the three first-year students around him.

Kageyama turned around calmly: "Long time no see, Oikawa-senpai." Kunimi,

who was called by name, shrank his neck, squinted his tired cat eyes and politely returned the greeting to the embarrassed Kindaichi.

They didn't expect that the senior would actually greet them, nor did they expect that Iikawa Haruka would know their names.

Iikawa Haruka knew Kunimi as early as the first semester. When she was checking the reports of the Discipline Inspection Department, she frequently saw his name in the reports of frequent lateness.

Later, she heard from her brother that this child was often punished to run during morning training when he was running and no one was around.

Because of the punishment of running, he became a frequent visitor to the Discipline Inspection Department's morning lateness inspection, so Ikawa Haruka silently wrote down his name.

As for Kindaichi, it was because Oikawa Toru once asked for his history notes, saying that a first-year student in the department failed history.

Haruka Ishikawa was chatting with them: "The game is about to start, watch carefully, it will be your turn to play next year."

Haruka Ishikawa was looking at Toru Ishikawa who was warming up below. His two knee pads, one black and one white, were bent and twisted as their owner stretched. Toru

Ishikawa on the field seemed to sense something, he raised his head and looked straight at the stands.

The brown pupils contained the coldness of winter and the warm sun. Haruka Ishikawa looked at her and stretched out his bony index finger and flicked it forward, silently mouthing "check".

When his sister stretched out her finger, Toru Ishikawa's beautiful eyes bloomed with a moment of beauty. He also silently replied "mate".

Although she teased Toru Ishikawa for losing too early, she was just teasing him. She said that, but she still arrived early and on time.

The interaction between the brother and sister was watched by the three people sitting next to them. Kunimi and Kindaichi exchanged glances. They actually seemed to know what that meant, but they were embarrassed to ask because they were not familiar with each other.

"What did the senior sister do just now?"

Kunimi and Kaneda pricked up their ears instantly. As expected of Kageyama, he asked the question they wanted to ask so neatly!

Iikawa Haruka's eyes were filled with emotions, and he looked straight ahead: "We will know after the game is over. The game is about to start, so cheer for the seniors~"

On the court, the two teams led by Ushijima Wakari and Iikawa Toru faced each other across the net.

"Come to Shiratorizawa from high school, you still have room to make the right choice." Ushijima Wakari said in a steady voice as a superior.

A string of sparks jumped out of Iikawa Toru's brown eyes, and his tone was unfriendly: "Don't worry about it." What

Iikawa Toru was most annoyed about was Ushijima Wakari's always condescending attitude. He was determined to break his poker face today!

"The spikes of Ushijima-san, the main attacker of Shiratorizawa, were still as powerful today, comparable to heavy artillery." The commentator explained the game in an amazed tone.

There was visible redness and swelling on Toru Ikawa's arm. He said, "Come on!"

Haruka Ikawa focused his attention on the redness and swelling on Toru Ikawa's arm. It would probably turn into bruises in a few days. He is indeed the main gun of Shiratorizawa, a genius of the new generation.

However, her brother is not an ordinary person. He will not let him play so comfortably and easily in this game. The score is one to zero, and the second game is the key.

On the court, Toru Ikawa ignored the hair stuck on his side face and ran to save the ball that was about to fall to the ground. After saving the ball, he immediately turned around and ran to the front of the court, shouting loudly, "Xiaoyan!"

Iwaizumi Ichi was shocked when he heard the voice and began to retreat.

As a close friend and companion who grew up together, when many difficulties blocked Toru Ikawa, he would always firmly choose Iwaizumi Ichi!

At the same time, whether as a close friend or an attacker, Iwaizumi Ichi would also respond to this willful and tenacious setter with his outstanding performance.

Iwaizumi took a deep breath and used all his strength to dunk the ball that Toru Ikawa entrusted with his faith.

The moment the ball landed, Toru Ikawa extended his fist and bumped fists with Iwaizumi who was panting: "Well done, main attacker."

Thanks to this goal, Kitagawa Daiichi scored consecutively and won the second game smoothly. The score is now one to one.

During the halftime break, Toru Ikawa sat on the bench, with a towel covering his sweaty head. He did not get the joy of victory, but stared at the floor, his mind running at high speed to think about what to do next.

"Che, Che, Che!"

The towel on Toru Ikawa's head was taken off by someone. Iwaizumi patted him on the shoulder, opened his lips and was about to say something, but was interrupted.

"Six people are really strong, right?" Toru Ikawa stood up and said to Iwaizumi with a smile.

Iwaizumi also smiled and nodded silently.

Toru Ikawa knew what he was worried about. He was not thinking about it. He was just thinking about how to win this game! He now knows very well that volleyball is a sport for six people!

Kageyama Tobio muttered to himself in the stands. He heard Senior Iwaizumi say this in the volleyball hall. He didn't understand. Shouldn't he become stronger and stronger? Only when he keeps getting stronger can he move forward. In his

ignorant eyes, he saw the figure of Iikawa Toru making a second attack and catching the ball with a diving dive.

If he wasn't strong, wouldn't he be unable to continue the game?

"Beep!" The whistle sounded, and Iikawa Toru on the court raised his head in pain. On the other side, Shiratorizawa was cheering and it was very lively.

Kageyama Tobio faced the polarized court, and the sobbing sounds of Kindaichi and the members in his ears. He didn't feel the loss of defeat in his heart, but the regret that the game ended too suddenly. Sure enough, if you are not strong enough, you will stop moving forward.

Iikawa looked at her partners on the court who were supporting each other and thanking the audience, and she clapped slowly. The whole stadium echoed with her empty applause, and as she moved, sparse applause began to come from the scene.

Iikawa Toru raised his head, his red eyes full of the reluctance and pain of defeat. He stared at his sister in a daze, and Iikawa Haruka said silently: "Thank you for your hard work, Toru."

Iikawa Toru cried and laughed sadly. At this moment, the boy could no longer hold back his tears under the gentle voices of his family. Iwaizumi Ichi also began to cry beside him, and he gritted his teeth and sobbed quietly.

Ikawa Toru sniffed and clenched his fists like a little beast: "Xiaoyan, when we get to high school, we must beat that bastard Ushijima to a pulp!"

After a brief burst of tears, Ikawa Toru regained his smile. Although he lost the game, he won the Best Setter Award.

In short, his junior high school volleyball career can be regarded as a not-so-perfect but complete period. At this moment

, the "Best Setter"

Kageyama Tobio's desire to win and surpass his predecessors reached its peak. If he beats him, he will become stronger!

Ikawa Haruka, who was originally preparing to leave, subconsciously slowed down her steps. She looked back at the boy beside her with a sense of something.

What kind of eyes was that?

It was the look of a wolf cub coveting the position of the head wolf, hungry and pouncing on food!

Kageyama Tobio's deep blue eyes were like an invisible abyss, captivating and particularly exposed!

Ikawa Haruka gathered his coat, turned around and left without any nostalgia.

She is now looking forward to high school, and looking forward to what wonderful chemical reaction will occur when these volleyball supremacists meet in high school! She will be a witness and spectator of this feast.

Kageyama came back to his senses and found that Haruka Ishikawa had left. He hurriedly called Haruka Ishikawa who was gradually walking away: "Senior! You haven't told me the meaning of that move yet!"

Haruka Ishikawa paused, turned his head and smiled with his eyes, saying: "I'll tell you when you win the game." This is the last game for the third-year junior high school students

of Toru

Ishikawa in the first volleyball hall of Kitagawa. After returning to school, they held a reflection meeting with their juniors, and their junior high school volleyball career came to an end.

When the next semester starts, they will return to their studies and start to get busy preparing for further studies.

"Seniors, thank you for your hard work over the past three years!" All the second-year and first-year students bowed collectively and said hoarsely.

The sound was deafening, and the third-year students standing in the first row, led by Toru Ishikawa, had tears in their eyes.

Some people tried their best to raise their heads to prevent the big tears from falling out of their eyes; some people sobbed and suppressed the unspeakable sadness in their hearts; while Oikawa Toru was crying and wiping his tears with his hands.

Oikawa Toru's eyes were blurred by tears, and the wooden floor of the volleyball hall emitted circles of halos under the illumination of the lights. The mottled traces left by the halos looked like the regrets he had left after three years of competition.

He clenched his fists, and his nails dug into the flesh. He must remember these feelings, no matter whether he faced Ushijima or Kageyama in high school, he would completely defeat them and walk towards the distance with his head held high!

Kageyama Tobio stared at Oikawa Toru's back, still very curious about that action. So he couldn't help but say: "Senior Oikawa."

Oikawa Toru turned his head and rubbed his eyes and said dejectedly: "What?"

"What do you and senior Oikawa mean by your actions before the game?"

Oikawa Toru narrowed his eyes, and said with ill intentions: "Little Tobio, this kind of thing is not something that a fool who doesn't study well can understand."

Kageyama Tobio blinked a little bit slower and shut his mouth obediently. He shouldn't have asked him, he has never answered him seriously.

The next second, Oikawa Toru's eyes were like torches and he said word by word: "Little Tobio, I will defeat you when we meet in high school, remember that!"

Although he is a genius, it is not so easy for him to catch up with this genius! In high school, he will defeat him and dampen the genius's spirit!

Kageyama held his breath and looked at the person in front of him with a firm look. He will continue to get stronger and surpass him. He will be the strongest setter in Miyagi Prefecture!
