Chapter 64 Consecutive Points from Serves in Training Match

Although Sawada Tsunayoshi said it had been a long time since they last met, it hadn't actually been more than a few months since their last meeting, but perhaps it was a change in mindset.

When they said goodbye last time, he knew he would hardly have the chance to fight side by side with Xiaoxiang on the court again. But now, it felt like a lifetime had passed. He could suddenly continue playing volleyball with Hinata, and he felt much lighter.

Hinata was clinging to Sawada Tsunayoshi, and his language system seemed to be disordered, only able to shout some meaningless nonsense.

It wasn't appropriate to just stand in front of someone else's stadium, so Sawada Tsunayoshi simply maintained his position. He pulled Chrome's hand and, along with his family, headed towards Akaashi Kyōji.

Akaashi Kyoji and the others didn't want to disturb the reunion of the childhood friends, but when they saw Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others walking over, he still felt it was a bit unreal.

The last time they met, the boy was just as short as Xiangyang. They were both middle school students, but if you went out, no one would doubt that they were elementary school students.

But during the unreasonable growth period of adolescence, the changes in Sawada Tsunayoshi became even more obvious. His features, which were not very noticeable before, became more and more three-dimensional. Only then did they realize that the person in front of them was of Italian and Japanese descent. His eyes, which were twice the size of others when he was young, had not changed much. However, his features had opened up, his baby fat had faded, and his overall proportions were approaching perfection.

Especially when Sawada Tsunayoshi smiled and looked at them with amusement, Yachi Hitoka touched her slightly flushed face, unmoved. She looked at the boy in his suit, so out of place among them.

"So handsome," she murmured.

As if he had stepped out of a conference room, Tsukishima deduced from the comparison with Hinata that Sawada Tsunayoshi's current height should be close to 1.8 meters, because he was much taller than Hinata, but a little shorter than Kageyama.

So he's probably not even 1.8 meters tall yet.

But that height is still quite alarming!

Tadashi Yamaguchi didn't quite understand why he kept looking at Hyuga and Tsunayoshi.

Aren't you brothers? Why is there such a big height difference between you?

Kuroo Tetsuro and Kenma were also somewhat surprised, but there are many cases where people were not tall when they were young, but suddenly grew a lot taller when they graduated from junior high school, so it was not too surprising.

They were more focused on the boy's well-fitting suit, which looked as if even his hair had been meticulously styled, suggesting he was indeed the heir of a certain family.

Only now did the group realize the reality of the situation.

Sawada Tsunayoshi wasn't quite sure what they were thinking. After Hyuga's initial excitement wore off, he was finally able to ask some substantive questions.

"Xiao Gang, why are you back?"

Before he could get off Tsunayoshi, Hyuga's beast-like keenness made him realize that Sawada Tsunayoshi was different from before. The thought in his mind slowly surfaced, and it manifested in his whole being as an invigorated person.

Sawada Tsunayoshi walked over slowly, with Chrome by his side and the weight of his childhood friend on his shoulders, so he couldn't walk fast.

"I've almost finished with things in Italy, and they said I can go back to work in Japan."

"Hey, Xiaogang still has work to do, huh?"

Hinata seemed anxious and uneasy. He shifted his position, clinging to Sawada Tsunayoshi's back, looking as if he might kidnap his childhood friend if he wasn't satisfied, as Sawada had said.

"Then aren't you going to school?"

"Ah, well..."

Sawada Tsunayoshi's mischievous, drawn-out tone...

"It depends on the follow-up work arrangements."

Hinata's hair fell low. "I see."

Even his tone wasn't as excited as before. Tsuna found it amusing. Just then, Kyoji and the others walked up to them, along with a group of other team members who, though unaware of what was going on, had followed along to join the fun. Ukai, resting his chin on his hand, pondered deeply.

"Is that the best friend Hinata has been talking about?"

Takeda Ittetsu felt a strong sense of déjà vu, saying, "I feel like I've seen this classmate somewhere before."

The name was familiar to him; he assumed it was because it shared the same name as a general in history.

Kageyama was the clueless guy. He followed along, clearly still out of the loop, watching them chat.

"Is Tsuna busy with work lately?" Akaashi Kyoji looked at his childhood friend. Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they could be considered to have grown up together.

Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded frantically, "Yeah! Yeah!"

He released his grip on Chrome's hand. Of course, because Tsuna's actions were so natural, and both of them were wearing suits, the group of athletic teenagers couldn't see any romance between the two of them at all, as if they had entered a friendly family movie set.

The free finger points to below the eye.

"I've only been sleeping five hours a night for several days in a row! I have dark circles under my eyes!"

Very well, the image of the noble young master has immediately transformed into that of a lowly office worker.

Hyuga jumped off Tsunayoshi's back.

"Wow, so busy! Tsuna must be working so hard."

The dark circles under the boy's eyes didn't seem fake. Hinata Shoyo suddenly realized that he couldn't bring himself to ask the question. What if he was disappointed after asking? It would only make things difficult for both him and Tsuna.

The usually outspoken Little Sunshine was unusually hesitant, which was probably similar to the feeling of being apprehensive about returning home.

But Kuroo Tetsuro couldn't resist. Seeing that the conversation had gone around in circles and no one had asked the question he wanted to know, he decided to ask it himself.

"Tsuna, are you still planning to play volleyball?"

Seeing the varying degrees of anticipation on the faces of his childhood friends, Sawada Tsunayoshi decided not to keep them in suspense and was about to speak...

"Ah, you're that transfer student." Kageyama finally finished loading, and the figure he had only caught a fleeting glimpse of when he bumped into the dean of students that day gradually became clear.

No wonder it looked familiar; he'd seen it on Hinata's phone screen before. Although Hinata Shoyo was a volleyball fanatic, his phone screen displayed photos of his family.

Besides the Hinata family, there was also a brown-haired boy and a red-haired boy, but it was unclear when the photo was taken; it must have been taken some years ago. He didn't recognize them at first glance, but now that Hinata mentioned it, he remembered the photo.

"!" Hinata's listless hair stood on end, and he turned sharply to look at Sawada Tsunayoshi.

"Xiao Gang transferred to our school?!"

Tsuna nodded, intending to speak again, but was interrupted once more, this time by Takeda-sensei, who pulled out a photo from his phone.

"Was it Sawada-san who submitted the club application? I was wondering why the name sounded familiar; it turns out there was another reason..."

As Mr. Takeda spoke, his voice lowered because Hinata seemed to be so happy he could fly away.

I finally managed to get a picture of the koala from Sawada Tsunayoshi, but I didn't feel like I was being teased by my childhood friend at all. All I could think about was how happy I was!

Launched again

"Tsuna wants to play volleyball with me!"

Interrupted twice in his short sentence, Sawada Tsunayoshi cautiously looked around at everyone, and after confirming that no one else wanted to speak, he finally spoke.

"Yes, the first thing I did when I got back to Japan was to submit my application to Karasuno University, and I also submitted my club application at the same time."

"Wow!"

Hinata held Tsuna's shoulders and swayed him from side to side, while Chrome bobbed her head back and forth in sync with the movement, her eyes filled with worry.

Despite the chaos, Tsukishima managed to hear everyone's conversation clearly, and he added to Sawada Tsunayoshi's words...

"And you also demolished a volleyball stadium, right?"

Tsunayoshi was a little embarrassed. "Eh, you guys knew?"

Yamaguchi nodded sadly, "We not only knew, but when we went to school the next morning, we were shocked to find that the gymnasium had been demolished."

"You went back!?" The junior leader was confused. If Karasuno had already gone back, why was he still in Tokyo?

Yamaguchi explained to him, "Tsunayoshi should have reported to school on the day of Kageyama's make-up exam. We came to Tokyo for a trial training that day, and we haven't officially started our training camp yet. The training camp only started yesterday, and we also arrived in Tokyo yesterday."

"I see," Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded. No wonder he felt like Karasuno had been training together in Tokyo for so long when he heard that Karasuno was still there. That's good, he hasn't lost his sense of time because of work!

After chatting for a while, since everyone still had training to do, Sawada Tsunayoshi suggested that he would leave first and not participate in their training.

Hyuga tightened his grip, "Tsuna, do you have anything else to do? If not, come play ball with us!"

He tried to persuade him to stay.

Sawada Tsunayoshi paused, "Is there really nothing else to do?"

He looked at Chrome, and upon receiving the Guardian's affirmative answer, Hinata immediately said happily,

"Then Tsuna, stay and play ball together!"

Dadi thought it was a good idea too, and after a group of volleyball enthusiasts discussed it,

"We can just use the upcoming training match as our entry test."

Sugawara sighed, "But Sawada-kun didn't bring his training clothes either. Are you expecting him to play in a suit?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi's mind went astray, and he thought that maybe he could perform even better if he wore a suit while playing basketball.

Kuroo Tetsuro glanced at Hinata subconsciously, then realized what was happening.

"I was originally thinking of letting Tsuna wear Shohoku's clothes, but I just remembered that we're not back in the days when you two were about the same height anymore."

Kurom was prepared; she glanced outside the stadium and saw the driver from before walking in carrying a bag.

"Boss, Basil has already delivered the training uniform."

"Eh!" Sawada Tsunayoshi turned his head to look over, his single ponytail swinging gracefully in the air behind him.

At this moment, he was no longer as composed and confident as he had been when he was talking to them earlier, his tone suddenly becoming alarmed.

"How could Basil know...?"

"Because we thought that if the boss came to the school, he might want to play volleyball, so we prepared sports clothes and left them with the driver."

Hinata got off Sawada Tsunayoshi's back, and the two of them excitedly began to rummage through the small bag.

"My volleyball shoes are ready too, great!"

"After all, I haven't slacked off on my volleyball practice at home."

Then, Little Orange, who was familiar with the environment, pulled another spiky-haired girl to the changing room to change clothes. Chrome watched their backs with tender eyes.

That's great that the boss is happy.

Another mixed-race man, Lev, raised his hand. "So Karasuno is going to have a new member too?"

Yamamoto Taketaka nodded. "Yes, he's a mixed-race like you."

Yoru Eisuke: "It's alright, Lev is a bit taller, so Nekoma won!"

The others' eyes were still on Chrome. The girl wasn't short, and when she stood next to Hinata, she was even slightly taller. She was very quiet, but her feelings for Sawada Tsunayoshi were evident in her eyes.

They suddenly remembered their initial guess about Sawada Tsunayoshi: a spoiled rich kid with princess syndrome. They hadn't seen anything particularly pampered about him except for his humble status as a corporate slave, but it was true that his subordinates doted on him.

She even prepared the clothes without making a sound. Even if Sawada Tsunayoshi hadn't stayed to play volleyball, the girl in front of him would probably have put the clothes away and wouldn't have interfered with Sawada Tsunayoshi's decision.

This doesn't seem like a company. Mo Jin withdrew his gaze. He didn't want to join in the fun. He initially wanted to meet Tsunayoshi, but now that he hadn't run out of the crowd, it was obvious that he didn't want to be dragged over for training.

In Italy, a company with such a human touch must be a family business.

A short while later, Hyuga pulled Tsuna back at a jog. Sawada Tsuna had changed into a tracksuit, and his ponytail swayed up and down behind him with his movements, even the strands of hair reflecting the light.

Well, without that suit, Sawada Tsunayoshi now looks more like a young master from a certain family, innocent, simple-minded, and with a bright aura.

Yoru glanced at Tsunayoshi and then at Lev. "Damn it, I feel like I've lost."

Kuroo Tetsuro patted Lev's arm.

"Let's go. Lev, we shouldn't lose too badly later."

Inugami poked his head out and asked, "What, is that Tsunayoshi really strong?"

This is also happening in Furutani, Kyoji Akaashi explained.

"Tsuna, me, and Hyuga were all members of the Fukudani Club. When we played together, he was a key player on the team, and we all thought highly of him. Although he didn't play basketball for three years in middle school, he said he had been practicing, so we still need to be careful."

Senran and Shengchuan's teammates scratched their heads. What's going on? It seems like everyone knows that teammate. Are they ostracizing their two schools?

The next match is Karasuno vs. Nekoma. Coach Karasuno glanced at Tsunayoshi.

"Then Sawada, you can warm up first. You can serve later and we'll see how you serve."

Hyuga once confidently declared, "Tsuna's serve can score five points in one go!"

Without mentioning how those five points came about, the coach simply attributed it to Hyuga's excellent serving technique.

Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded. Chrome stood beside him holding a bag containing a suit jacket. Takeda-sensei struck up a conversation with her.

"Are you also planning to transfer to Karasuno with Sawada-kun?"

Chrome nodded. "Yes,"

She thought for a moment and added,

"I also applied for the position of manager of the volleyball team."

"Hey!" Hitoshi Yachi's pupils widened. "Are we going to have three managers?!"

She carefully observed Chrome. Wow, a suit, long straight hair, she looks so elegant and capable, and she's also a great beauty. It would be great if she could become a manager with her.

Tsuna first greeted Coach Nekomata, who was sitting on the other side. The old coach smiled and nodded.

"Keep up the good work, you little crow cub."

Yeah, I used to call him Owl Cub.

Sawada Tsunayoshi chuckled. The whistle blew, and he said something to Chrome before heading onto the court. Hyuga had been preoccupied with figuring out how to coordinate with the new monster's fast-paced attack these past few days, and his playing style hadn't been as enthusiastic as before. Today, however, Tsunayoshi was unusually excited.

"Xiao Gang, you got five points in one go!"

Completely a show-off.

Tsuna took a deep breath. Good, this familiar feeling.

[Let's defend Tsuna's serve!]

If he were still in fourth grade, he probably would have already started complaining, and forget about getting five points in one go.

But he did practice. Because his teammates helped him so much, he secretly resolved to practice his serve properly. Now, it's a good opportunity for Xiaoxiang and Jingzhi to see his progress.

Standing outside the line, the referee blew the whistle, and almost simultaneously, Sawada Tsunayoshi threw the ball.

One step, two steps... four steps,

He leaped high into the air, and the members of the Sound Horse team quickly prepared themselves. Ukai, standing nearby, looked at him with seriousness.

"It's still a jump shot."

His body, still somewhat immature from boyhood to young adulthood, wasn't very noticeable when he was wearing a suit, but after changing into short-sleeved sportswear, the muscle definition on Sawada Tsunayoshi's arms, though not particularly muscular, became quite prominent.

"Bang!"

He didn't hold back, slamming his palm hard onto the ball's surface with a terrifying sound. The point of contact dented, the ball paused briefly in the air, and then hurtled rapidly towards the Sound Horse track.

Yoruichi rushed over, but it was too late. The ball hit the ground with a terrible sound, then bounced off Kuroo Tetsuro's outstretched arm and hit the wall.

The entire stadium fell silent after that shot; Taniguchi Hitoka's face was filled with terror.

Hey, that ball could kill someone if it hits them!

Chrome wasn't too surprised. Judging from the boss's past record of always hitting people in the face, this ball didn't contain any flames, and its power was less than one-tenth of the boss's true strength.

She cheered softly, "The boss is amazing!"

Startled from their dreamlike state, the group of Karasuno were jolted awake. Hinata Shoyo turned around, both surprised and delighted. Sawada Tsunayoshi raised his hand, and the little sun immediately ran over excitedly, jumping up and down to give him a high five in celebration.

"Xiao Gang's serve has become so powerful!"

Tsuna nodded. "After all, I promised you I'd get five points in one go."

He glanced at Akaashi Kyoji, who was observing them, and smiled.

Kyoji subconsciously smiled too. It's great that Tsuna can play volleyball.

When it came to the match, the unfamiliarity didn't matter at all. Tanaka Ryunosuke and Nishitani Yu immediately ran over and ruffled Sawada Tsunayoshi's carefully styled hair until Sawada Tsunayoshi cried out in horror that he didn't know how to tie his hair and didn't want it to get messed up, and then they stopped.

Tsukishima mocked, "Are you still a child? You can't even tie your own hair."

Tanaka nodded: "I approve of you!"

Across from him, Kuroo Tetsuro rested his chin on his hand, looking at Lev, who hadn't reacted at all.

"We've completely lost."

Grin came over and said, "Lev and Tsuna are not on the same level at all. Uh, can we switch Lev over and switch Tsuna over?"

The setter, deeply saddened by Lev's betrayal, was encouraged by Yamamoto Taketaka.

"Cheer up, Grind! Our Lev has a lot of potential too!"

So the young leader once again stepped up to serve, and just like before, he immediately served as soon as the whistle blew, catching his opponent off guard.

After jogging a few steps to confirm that he couldn't receive the ball, he looked at the other side, and even his playing style changed noticeably.

Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't play this violently before; that shot looked like it might have cost several lives.

Well, but in men's volleyball, the violent aesthetics are quite appealing. Kozume Kenma actually likes these changes in his opponent—unrestrained and powerful. It would be great if he weren't his opponent.

On the third ball, Yoru finally touched it, but it still hit his shoulder and flew out of bounds.

He gritted his teeth and looked back at where the ball had landed, his eyes filled with a hint of apology.

When the ball came in the next round, the guy who was serving at the wrong time finally didn't move. The members of the Nekoma team breathed a sigh of relief and calmly observed Sawada Tsunayoshi's every move.

One second, two seconds, until the fifth second, Sawada Tsunayoshi began to move, take a running start, and jump. Everything was so pleasing to the eye.

The boy's body snapped into a bow shape, and an even more terrifying sound of the ball hitting the ball rang out.

It was also more precise, slamming the ball into the gap in their field. Inuoka Kakeru and Yamamoto Taketaka were about to receive the ball, but when they met each other's gazes, they stopped in their tracks. It was this hesitation that caused the ball to fall between them.

So it wasn't waterproofing after all, but rather to make the ball's landing point more accurate!

This guy really doesn't leave them any openings. Sawada Tsunayoshi took the volleyball. Well, in a match, he will of course give it his all!

The opposing team was prepared for the next ball. Yoruichi quickly moved to the landing point and barely managed to receive the ball, but the first pass was messed up. Kuroo Tetsuro had no choice but to pass the ball over, and it was smashed back by Hyuga Shoyo with a tip.

Another point!

Hinata Asawada Tsunayoshi waved to himself, indicating that he was still there.

However, Sawada Tsunayoshi hadn't played a proper game in a long time, and he didn't control his strength well on the next pitch, which resulted in a home run.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't control my strength well!"

He jogged over to apologize, but the crowd, already impressed by Sawada Tsunayoshi's serve, waved him off.

"It's okay, it's okay."

"Please, that's a five-pointer!"

Wu Yang couldn't help but stand up the moment he saw the first ball, and only sat down after watching the ball fly away.

"Hyuga wasn't lying after all. Sawada really managed to get five points in one go."

Then came the joy. Although they didn't know how good Sawada Tsunayoshi's basic skills were, his powerful serve could definitely become a major weapon for Karasuno!

After serving, Tsuna didn't leave the court but ran back onto it. Since he had been playing more of a receiving position before, he was still playing that position in this practice match.

When the ball was served from the other side, Nishiya Yu naturally received it. Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't rush to show off his skills; he silently observed his teammates on the court. The setter, Kageyama, seemed to want to play a very new type of volleyball with Hyuga, but he didn't understand it.

However, Xiao Xiang had told him about the "Weird Man's Quick Attack" before, so it looks like we won't be able to see it today.

He felt a little regretful, then nimbly pounced over, scooped up the ball that the two hadn't coordinated, and sent it flying—that familiar muscle reflex, honed by Xiao Xiang's misbehavior.

It's still deeply etched in Tsunayoshi's mind.

The opposing libero easily caught the ball, and Kenma knew that Sawada Tsunayoshi was good at receiving the ball, so he didn't intend to pass the ball to Nishinoya Yuu, but Shoyo's receiving was also quite good.

Suddenly the opponent became difficult to deal with. Makoto passed the ball to Inugami, and as expected, the opponent served the ball towards Tanaka.

However, Sawada Tsunayoshi, who had anticipated this, received the ball and naturally passed it to Kageyama. Kageyama paused for a moment after receiving the ball, and then Higashimine Asahi spiked it.

His first pass was also very good; Kageyama recalled the feel of that ball just now.

Nishitani Yu, who hadn't pounced on him earlier, patted Sawada Tsunayoshi on the shoulder with great admiration.

"Good catch, Sawada! Keep it up, I'm rooting for you!"

Wow, what a handsome free agent!

Sawada Tsunayoshi withdrew his gaze. This guy was much more assertive than Matsukawa Saki. This was the first time he had ever seen a free agent with this style.

I immediately felt like I had someone to rely on!

Hinata stuck out his tongue at him, probably apologizing for missing the dunk.

The match continued, but the opposing teams, Kuro and Kenma, knew him very well. Sawada Tsunayoshi was experiencing the feeling of being targeted during the sixth grade club league. Hmm, that felt familiar too.

However, his touch wasn't very good either. He hadn't played in a match for too long and didn't know the Karasuno players very well, so he didn't bring out his abilities as a setter. He just obediently received the ball when he was supposed to receive it and spiked the ball when he was supposed to spike it.

But even this was enough to satisfy Wu Yang and his group.

A new team member, whom Hinata mentioned likely hadn't played a formal match in his three years of middle school, but this guy quickly integrated with the other Karasuno members as soon as he stepped onto the court. Takeda Ittetsu sat in the chair next to Karasuno.

"It seems that we, Karasuno, will be gaining another great general."

Ukai nodded. "I feel that Sawada probably has other tricks up his sleeve, but his excellent ball-receiving awareness and the power of his serve just now are enough."

Senran's team member wiped the sweat from his face.

"Karano has been buffed again."

"Did they agree with Yin Ju that they would both find a mixed-race foreign aid?"

"I don't understand, but now Karasuno can finally fight us on equal terms. It's also puzzling that they gave up on that weirdo's quick attack."

"What do you know? They just want to improve. But it's more interesting to fight like this."

Chrome's eyes lit up, as if she had finally remembered that she still had a cell phone in her hand. She started snapping pictures of Sawada Tsunayoshi, and even thoughtfully avoided shooting at other people.

Sawada Tsunayoshi wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, Reborn had tied his hair very tightly this morning, so he could still hold on. He glanced at the bun hairstyle of the person behind Higashimine Asahi and thought he could ask how that hairstyle was done after training.

We can't expect everyone to keep tying his hair up forever.

Although they wished they could even pick out clothes for him and send them over to help him put them on, this specifically refers to Gokudera Hayato.

Well, the black ribbon on his head today was chosen by Lan Shouxuan. He said that black would better reflect his cool temperament if he was attending a meeting.

Does he really have that kind of charisma?

With a faint smile on his face, Tsuna's movements were ruthless. The ball grazed the edge of Kuroo Tetsurou's arm and fell, his eyes filled with confidence that he would score.

Kuroo Tetsuro glanced at his teammates who hadn't received the ball, withdrew his hand, and a smile played on his lips.

"Your intuition is still infuriating."

"Really?" The little leader's hair swayed behind him as he high-fived Hyuga, who rushed over, and laughed happily.

There are some differences. At least elementary school Tsuna wouldn't be so frank. He would probably jump up and shake his head frantically, saying that he didn't do it.

Yes, even the white glutinous rice balls have become filled now.

After the game was over, it was almost lunchtime. Chrome was nowhere to be seen near the court, which puzzled him. Then, Mr. Takeda told him that Chrome wanted to try out what it was like to be a manager, so she left with Yachi and the others.

Yamamoto Taketora, who had come over to say hello, burst into tears.

"They have three managers, while we at Yinju don't have a single one!"

Everyone was quite curious about what Sawada Tsunayoshi's family did, but the little boss thought to himself, "How can I tell you that?"

They had no choice but to make up for it by doing some business.

After all, the Mafia doesn't sound very respectable!

Hinata had been in a state of inexplicable excitement all day. Chrome watched for a while and figured the boss probably wouldn't go back tonight. She sent Basil some other messages, then put down her phone and watched the boss compete on the field with a smile on her face.

Not only when protecting them, the volleyball boss is also glowing.

Author's note: If your boss tells you not to write during work hours, would you write or not? You'd write even if you had to work yourself to the bone (not really).

(Just kidding, actually the author stayed up all night and sacrificed his free time to write it.)

It seems like everyone got the timeline mixed up, just like 27. And there are probably a lot of people who haven't watched Haikyuu!! It looks like everyone's reading this post because of 27!

I'll try to write more clearly next, but there are so many people in Haikyuu!! that I'm finding it a bit difficult [crying emoji].

Let's do the bonus chapters at 2k words for every 1k nutrient solution. Hehe, that way I not only made up for yesterday's missed chapter but also finished the 4k bonus chapter today (hands on hips).

...Wait, the nutrient solution is about to reach 5k!
