Chapter 60 High School Joint Training and Connections

Location: Karasuno High School, First-Year Classroom

Character: Tobio Kageyama.

Event: Amazing final exam makeup exams are in progress!

The handsome female teacher glanced at the clock.

"Time's up, Kageyama-kun. Time to hand in your papers."

Kageyama Tobio, who had failed the makeup exam, nervously handed over his test paper with both hands, looking anxious and uneasy.

While grading papers, the teacher struck up a conversation with Kageyama, "Have the Hinatas and the others already set off?"

Kageyama stared menacingly at the teacher drawing circles and dots on the test paper, but still obediently answered when asked a question.

"They left in the morning."

That Hyuga idiot actually passed all his subjects! Damn it, he lost this round!

He secretly cursed Hinata in his mind, even though he knew he hadn't done well on the test. But that didn't stop him from disliking Hinata. The other day, that guy had been showing off that test paper to him like crazy, with a smug expression that would make anyone angry.

Not to mention Kageyama Tobio, who would explode at the slightest provocation in front of Hyuga.

Hinata, far away in Tokyo, was holding a volleyball when suddenly a chill ran down her spine.

"Achiu—"

Standing next to him, Moyan turned his gaze over and asked, "Are you sick?"

Tetsuro Kuroo, on the other hand, was quite experienced in this matter: "You'll feel better once you warm up your body playing volleyball later."

Yoruichi heard Kuroo's words as he passed by, and punched his teammate hard.

"Don't teach children incorrect theories. If they're sick, they should see a doctor and rest properly!"

Kuroo Tetsurou clutched his stomach, bent over, and silently squatted down. "That was too violent."

Hinata clearly had her own version of the story: "It's probably Kageyama secretly cursing me at school, hahaha!"

Yes, Hinata Shoyo has been in a great mood these past few days. Passing the exam and beating Kageyama is one thing, but being able to come to Tokyo and train with Kenma and the others is the best part!

Akaashi Kyoji watched them chat and followed them over. Bokuto Kotaro followed behind, shaking his head as if he also wanted to come this way. However, it was obvious that these were friends. The other teammates pulled Bokuto along and watched the situation from behind, like a row of owls hanging on the treetops, their brains rotating 270 degrees.

"Shoyo seems to have grown a bit taller again." Akagi looked him over and nodded, confirming his childhood friend's height.

Hey, what's with this mom-themed scene?! The onlooker, Team Member Fukutani, stared wide-eyed.

Hinata loves hearing people say he's grown taller. "Really? I told you I've grown taller, but Tsuki and Kageyama insisted I hadn't. They're such dishonest people."

Tsukishima, who was inexplicably called out, paused in his steps and walked over with Yamaguchi. Because he had met Hinata in a previous match, Hinata would invite them when he made plans to play a match, and after a few times, they gradually became familiar with each other.

Tsukishima popped the bubbles that made Hinata so cheerful.

"Akaashi-senpai, please don't try to be considerate like childhood friends at a time like this. Saying nice things will only make him get carried away."

Yamaguchi chuckled, while Hyuga puffed out his cheeks, gesturing wildly at Tsukishima as he explained to Akaashi.

"I won't listen to that stingy Yue! Jingzhi, I'm super humble!"

Akaashi Kyoji smiled helplessly, and the atmosphere around them was harmonious.

The others in Karasuno watched this scene thoughtfully. "Hyuga knows so many people. It's one thing to have childhood friends in Otokoma, but he even knows people in Fubuki."

Nishitani Yu, who had been Hinata's junior high classmate for two years, knew a bit about it.

"Xiangyang Elementary School belongs to the Fukutani Children's Club. These people are either Xiangyang's rivals or teammates, so it's normal for them to have a good relationship."

Daichi thought of the bitter rivalry between Aoba Josai and Shiratorizawa, and felt that such a beautiful rivalry might not necessarily occur.

But it's true that Hinata and Aoba Johsai have a very good relationship. This year, Aoba Johsai first beat them, and then Hinata went to cheer them on in the match where they defeated Shiratorizawa to advance to the national championships.

After it was over, Oikawa dragged him along to celebrate, and I don't know how much animal blood they mixed in.

For a moment, Sugawara Koji's expression twisted. He absolutely could not bring himself to cheer for that guy; just imagining it made him want to run out of here and hang himself from a tree.

"Well, Hyuga did say that."

Tanaka recalled that when Hinata talked about his past experiences, he mentioned that person the most.

Sure enough, the conversation veered off course and ended up talking about the guy Tanaka had mentioned.

Hinata is still bothered by her height, "Even though it's not very noticeable, Waaaa, you're not allowed to laugh!"

"But Tsuna is the one who looks absolutely terrifying!"

Upon hearing the familiar name, Tsukishima's smile faded slightly, and a silence fell. It was Kuroo Tetsuro who broke the silence.

"The little one still has contact with Tsunayoshi."

Hinata looked at them suspiciously. "Why do you say that? Didn't you play volleyball together in middle school?"

Kyoji Akaashi sighed, "But it's been much less frequent now. When we first entered junior high, we could at least get together to play volleyball once a month. But after that, we rarely saw him. After Tsuna and you entered high school, we didn't see each other even once. He didn't even come to see us during the summer after we graduated from junior high."

He seemed to care a lot, because Kyoji Akaashi said a very long thing.

Holding up his phone, he said, "If he didn't still reply to our messages, I would really worry that he had disappeared."

Kuroo Tetsuro nodded in agreement.

Hinata chuckled, "It's not as scary as you guys make it out to be. Tsuna explained that he's going to inherit the family business. I went back to Namimori once after graduating from junior high school, and they were already making preparations to move to Italy. I heard from Tsuna that his family there wants him to take over the family affairs as soon as possible, so he needs to get there early to adapt."

"But didn't he tell us about this before?" the innocent little orange asked with genuine doubt.

The others closed their eyes; how could they believe such an absurd reason?

Is it really true that Sawada Tsunayoshi is going to inherit the family business?!

"Of course it's true. Xiao Gang spent a long time just learning Italian. During that time, he would often secretly send me messages to complain during class."

"So I'm serious, Tsuna really is super tall!"

Tsukishima and the others looked at Hinata with complicated expressions as he gesticulated wildly to prove that his childhood friend had really grown up incredibly fast. They remembered that this guy was the kind of person who would bring up even a few centimeters he had grown taller.

Hmm, suddenly I'm not so optimistic about Tsuna's height anymore.

Kyoji Akaashi looked at Hinata with concern. Although they were disappointed that Tsuna couldn't continue playing volleyball with them in high school, Hinata was probably the saddest one among them.

Even though they weren't together every day, Kuroo Tetsurou and the others knew how much Hinata longed to go to the national championships with Sawada Tsunayoshi.

Well, life is unpredictable. Of the twin stars they had the best hopes for back then, only one of them survived.

On the contrary, it was Kyoji Akaashi, who almost chose another school because of his studies, who remained steadfast on the volleyball court because of the Bokuto match.

Sugawara, who had been keeping a close eye on his own child, noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off and smiled as he joined the conversation.

"Speaking of which, it's surprising that Hinata was able to pass the exam. I was worried that you and Kageyama would have to stay at school together."

Hinata stopped talking incessantly, easily led by the nose.

"If I dare fail the exam, Xiao Zheng will definitely come back with a plane and beat me up!"

Thinking of that gentle boy, Tsukishima reminded him,

"Don't talk badly about Irie-senpai behind his back just because he's not in the country. How could he possibly beat you up?"

Hinata immediately put on a wronged expression, "Ayumi, you don't know, before Masato went to Italy with Tsuna, he looked like someone who had been killing fish for over ten years, the kind of person who would smile and assassinate me if he found out I failed an exam!"

"He went to Italy too?" Tadashi Yamaguchi's attention was diverted.

It seems they really brought their whole family to the job interview. Surprisingly, Tsukishima and Yamaguchi, who were subtly and overtly flirting with each other during their first meeting, accepted it well.

They didn't have much time to catch up before the coach blew his whistle and got them to warm up and prepare for today's game.

Hinata probably guessed what these guys were thinking, but he didn't actually care as much as they imagined.

Tsuna is an independent person, and of course he will have his own life and choices. Hinata Shoyo is very happy to see that his friend, whom he likes, can have his own life and make a completely different choice.

When they met again, Tsuna was very happy. That happiness emanated from Tsuna's very soul, and it was clear that he had been well taken care of.

In that case, Hinata will offer her blessings and support for her friend's choice.

Although he was indeed very sad.

Yes, I am very, very sad.

After receiving the test paper, Tobio Kageyama's previous anxiety vanished, and he happily clenched his fist on the spot before rushing out of the classroom with Saeko Tanaka, bumping into the headmaster who was walking towards them.

The head of student affairs was introducing the school to the boy next to him, and the smile on his face showed that the two got along well.

He frowned when he bumped into a student in a hurry. He saw it was Kageyama and was about to call out to him, but the boy only left an apology and hurriedly disappeared down the corridor.

It wasn't until he was in the car that he belatedly realized...

Did I just bump into someone?

Saeko Tanaka nodded. "Yes, it's the head of student affairs."

!

Kageyama quickly looked at the teaching building through the rearview mirror, and only felt relieved after confirming that no one wearing a wig ran out to say that he was not allowed to go to the training camp.

Slumped back into his seat, the brown-haired boy he had just caught a glimpse of seemed somewhat familiar, but judging from the dean's demeanor, he was probably a transfer student.

The other person seemed to have a tuft of long hair at the back of their neck, but based on their height, they were undoubtedly a male.

He didn't know anyone who wanted to transfer schools, so he assumed he must have misread it.

At school, the dean of students and Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Oh dear, the kids love volleyball so much, there's no way to stop them."

Tsuna smiled politely. "It's a good thing that you like volleyball."

"Hey, I was just about to introduce you to him. Isn't that the new member of the volleyball team? You're running so fast."

The head of the teaching department was both annoyed and amused.

Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was framed by Reborn and whose original intention was to help Karasuno improve their volleyball gym, has now become a nepotism hire who parachuted into the Karasuno volleyball team.

He smiled politely and said, "I'll just go to the volleyball club to report myself later, so I won't trouble you with the introduction, teacher."

Author's Note: The Time Magic has arrived!

I won't write about the plot of Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, because there aren't many changes. If I were to write about it, it would feel like I'd be copying the original work, haha. I can wait until the series is finished and write a fan service episode from Koyo's perspective.

Yay! Our high school long-hair version 27 has arrived ww, it's a new skin!

(I've added some personal touches to the storyline of the Great King High School, but I still hope he can travel across the country in his third year.)
