Junior High School

Oikawa Toru used his ten fingers to hold the volleyball, and then flicked his fingers to make the volleyball spin rapidly between his palms, searching for the target as it spun.

Suddenly, a sharp look flashed in his eyes. He stopped throwing the ball, took a step forward to run and jump, his body stretched and bent backward like a crescent moon, and all the strength in his body was mobilized and poured into the volleyball.

The volleyball flew past Takeo Gouda's arm, hit the boundary line hard and bounced out.

The junior high school players were all stunned. They were all shocked and amazed by this goal.

Especially after Kageyama Tobio came to his senses, he wanted to break through the block immediately and ask Oikawa Toru how he did it.

Restraining the secret joy on his lips, Toru Oikawa himself didn't expect that he could be so powerful today. He really could hit whatever he wanted, which was even more perfect than what he showed in front of the high school team members before.

Before serving, he was a little hesitant about whether to hit the ball near Takeo Goda, worried that this young man with extremely developed athletic ability and super sensitive reactions would go head-on with him.

Although he may not be able to take it successfully in one go, it will affect the effect of his pretending to be smart.

The moment his palm was about to touch the volleyball, Toru Oikawa stopped caring.

If you want to install it, you must install a big one, otherwise what’s the difference between installing it and not installing it!

And then the perfect shot was born.

Maybe it’s because pressure brings motivation, Oikawa Toru now feels that his touch is extremely strong!

I still have to thank Takeo Gouda who stood still. He announced that his favorability towards Takeo is 0.1 points higher than that towards Kotobuki.

The last step of pretending to be smart is to act like you are used to it.

Oikawa Toru turned his back to calm his expression, trying to hide his mistake. When he turned back, he looked normal, waiting for the whistle to blow for the second serve.

Iwaizumi, who was standing in front of Oikawa Toru's left, could see at a glance the turbulent undercurrent beneath his calm surface.

Iwaizumi turned his head silently to face the opposing player, and the arrogance that had been suppressed by Oikawa Toru quietly bloomed at the corner of his mouth.

He deserves to be so proud now that he has such a hardworking and capable little girl.

The whistle blew and the second serve landed successfully.

The power of the jump serve was slightly weaker than the previous one, but the speed was still very fast and the score was scored instantly.

The ball fell next to Takeo Goda, but he still did not move to catch the ball. He just flashed his bright eyes and almost clapped his hands like a spectator.

Kageyama Tobio was furious: "Goda Takeo!"

"Here!" The muscular man was startled by the shout and stood up straight subconsciously.

"What's your form? This isn't dodgeball!"

When he first started to participate in training matches and play against others, the tough guy always couldn't control himself and perfectly missed all the volleyballs that were hit at him. It was suspected that it was a sequelae of playing dodgeball too much.

Kageyama took some effort to correct Takeo's conditioned reflex, but he didn't expect that when he encountered a fierce ball, Takeo would still turn on the dodge switch and seamlessly switch back to dodgeball mode.

"Sorry, I'll catch the next ball!"

This is not bragging. The tough guy said he would catch the next serve, and he really caught the next ball.

But he didn't understand the direction of the volleyball's rotation, and the high school team still scored.

Kageyama was no longer angry, but walked to the tough guy thoughtfully and gave him a few words.

By the fourth ball, the tough guy still couldn't resolve the spin, but he successfully hit the ball high, giving other players enough time to save the ball.

With just a few simple moves, the two younger students figured out how to crack Oikawa Toru's powerful jump serve.

One has strength, the other has brains.

Although this is not the extreme version of Toru Oikawa's powerful jump serve, it is still frustrating that someone can find a breakthrough point in just a few strokes.

So he hates geniuses!

At this point, Toru Oikawa's personal serve show ended.

In a normal game, the junior high school team was still inferior to the high school team, and the tough guy was sent off the court soon because he affected the rhythm of other players too much.

After the training match, Kageyama Tobio took a few big strides and rushed straight to Oikawa Toru to ask him how to serve.

Oikawa Toru looked at this junior who almost bumped into his face, feeling jealous and regretful, with mixed emotions in his heart.

With such a brain and perseverance suitable for playing volleyball, how come he can't learn how to get along with his teammates?

The same goes for a few other taciturn junior classmates. When these people who can't communicate get together, they are almost destroying the team spirit that he cultivated in junior high school.

But then he thought, why should he feel sorry for them? He wasn't much older than them, and he was still a child!

Still want to come here and get his exclusive secret skills for nothing?

Don’t even think about it!

Oikawa Toru pulled at his lower eyelid with his index finger and stuck out his tongue more childishly than an elementary school student.

"Go study it yourself! A little bit~"

"ah……"

Kageyama looked at Oikawa Toru who was punished by Iwaizumi again, and reflected on himself silently.

He shouldn't have come and asked directly...then he would just watch and learn secretly!

On the other side, the cooking team arrived at the battlefield.

Hinata Aoi gave each boy a basin and asked them to sit on a small stool and wash and peel the vegetables like an assembly line. Halfway through, she picked out Inugami, who had the best knife skills, to cut the vegetables.

The whole scene was very orderly. Hinata Aoi stood by to supervise, watching that the potatoes were not forgotten to have their skins peeled off, nor were they cut into slimmer versions. She gave thumbs up to the boys without hesitation.

The boys who were praised worked even harder, while Hinata Aoi went to cook rice with peace of mind.

When it was time to actually start cooking, Hinata Aoi asked everyone to leave the kitchen and closed the door tightly.

It's inconvenient for so many people to walk in the kitchen, and she doesn't have the energy to watch over them. Don't just sit there bored and do something bad with good intentions, and then she has to clean up the mess.

After thinking about it, she opened the kitchen door a crack, put out the garbage produced by preparing food, and then closed the door.

Taking a stroll around the garbage room was considered giving them something to do. Hinata Aoi poured oil into the pot quickly and ignored the boys outside the door.

Half an hour later, the aroma quickly filled the entire space as the kitchen door was fully opened.

The curry is ready and the hungry players are in place.

The managers each held a large stainless steel spoon to serve food to the team members, and they only stopped when the plates were full.

Looking at the people wolfing down the food, a sense of satisfaction, like feeding small animals, lingered in their hearts.

Before the meal, Kageyama Tobio pestered Oikawa Toru with questions, and they sat together during the meal.

Annoyed, Toru Oikawa suddenly wanted to compete with Kageyama in eating capacity. Kageyama didn't understand but did it anyway, showing some anger while eating. As a result, both of them felt a little full after the third plate, and relied on their unyielding will to finish the rice on the plate.

Oikawa Tooru said stubbornly, "I'm going to play another round, what about you?"

"...I can eat another plate too." Kageyama touched his stomach and refused to admit defeat.

"Don't try to be so arrogant, Xiao Feixiong. If you can't eat anymore, just admit defeat~"

Before Kageyama could reply, Gouda Takeo, who was passing by to get some extra food, interrupted:

"Seniors, do you want to have more food? Then let's go together~"

"I've been there several times, but I'm too embarrassed to go again, hehe~"

Oikawa Tooru was puzzled: "How many plates did you eat?"

The macho man stretched out a hand to gesture, with a shy and innocent smile on his face.

"Five, five sets?!"

Oikawa Toru's self-esteem was challenged.

He stood up suddenly, not caring about the food that had already rushed to his throat, and went to the manager with the plate to get more food.

He was so fast that Iwaizumi couldn't catch him in time. He could only watch his menacing back as he walked away... and then he was dragged back by two high school department managers, one on each side holding his arms.

"What are you doing? I can still eat!"

"Don't scream! If you get excited and spit out the curry rice, we'll have to find a way to stuff it back in your mouth."

The two managers looked like thugs from an underground organization. They patted Oikawa Toru's shoulders with a wicked smile, then returned to Hinata Aoi to report.

Kageyama, who was standing by, didn't dare to say anything else. He tactfully finished his meal and put the empty plate safely into the storage box.

Only the tough guy was left standing there, touching his head in hesitation.

Can he still eat it?

Is there no one to accompany him to have more food?

The hotel owner had a lot of work to do and knew that there were a lot of young men coming for training this time, so he called his niece to help.

"This is the owner's niece, Ikeda Anna."

"I'm about the same age as you guys. I came here to help because we're short of manpower. You guys should get along well."

The coach gave a brief introduction and went to watch the training, leaving space for the logistics staff, especially the two girls.

Anna Ikeda was dressed exquisitely, but she was afraid of the cold and wrapped herself in long sleeves and long pants. She let the sweat ooze out from her forehead without opening her coat to cool down.

She had learned about the situation of these managers and Gojuan Ji in advance from the coach.

He took the initiative to greet Hinata Aoi, but his smile did not reach his eyes, revealing a hint of contempt.

Hinata Aoi had no intention of interacting with this stranger. She raised her phone and introduced herself as if she was doing a task, then walked aside to look through the recipe notes she had made in advance, leaving the other managers to chat with the girls.

As a result, Ikeda, without any hesitation, moved closer to Hinata Aoi and placed his finger on her notebook without any sense of boundaries.

"Is this what we're going to do today?"

The sweet voice that flowed out of her throat made Hinata Aoi shiver uncontrollably.

Before Hinata Aoi could do anything, Inumaki Satoru came over quickly, snapped the notebook shut, pulled it away from between the two of them, nodded politely, and pulled Hinata Aoi away.

“…Did I do something wrong?”

Ikeda Anna raised her head and asked with a slightly nasal voice, looking pitiful, with tears brewing in her eyes.

The two managers of the high school department looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

How could this situation arise after just two sentences?

They joke around with boys all day long and have never even had a girlfriend. This situation is really beyond the scope.

It was Sato, the most introverted one, who comforted him:

"Inujuan should be looking for Hinata for something, let's go first."

"Also, Hinata isn't used to being too close to others. She'll be fine once she gets familiar with them."

The smell of green tea in the TV series was so strong that Sato's radar started turning instantly.

Every time his mother watched a soap opera, she would drag him along and teach him not to be as incompetent as the male protagonist in the drama.

But maybe they are just more outgoing and sensitive?

Sato didn't want to make malicious assumptions about others, he just hoped that this was all just his own random thoughts, and that there wouldn't be any of the same dramatic scenes as in TV dramas...
