Chapter 92: Encountering the Demon King Tomi University Right After Leaving the Novice Village Is...

Tomi Academy was the last to arrive. After everyone had rested, they all came to the volleyball hall of Shiratorizawa. Shiratorizawa provided the hall for their daily training for this training camp. After people from several schools gathered, they began to announce the arrangements for the practice match.

"Besides the rotation between the schools, are we going to shuffle the teams on the second day?"

Although Shiratorizawa was the organizer of this training camp, they themselves hadn't received much guidance from the higher-ups, so they were a bit confused when they saw this. Soegawa was stunned for a few seconds before looking at Shirabu beside him and asking, "Doesn't this mean we'll be competing with players from other schools?"

Shirabu hummed, "Which means the opponent is likely a familiar teammate."

Tian Chuan:......

This is terrible. He turned his gaze to the blue-haired setter standing in the front row next to Senmi Eita and thought, I have to experience the horror of Sword City at this time.

Just as Tianchuanren was thinking this, Jiancheng turned his head as if he sensed something, and then smiled.

Soemokawa:.

Who taught Jiancheng to laugh like that? It feels so weird.

Bai Bu said simply: "Disgusting."

But all fun aside, their first match was against Kanagawa Daiichi. When they saw their familiar opponents standing on the court, they also sighed at the wonder of fate.

"Hey," Tendou said, his hands on his hips, making a puzzled sound, "When did they get a new member?"

Following Tiantong's gaze, I saw a stranger standing at the second position. He was not on the bench during IH. Was he a new member joining the team at this time?

Coach Beimingyu stood aside, still with a compassionate smile on his face.

Supervisor Eagle was very familiar with this kind of behavior. "Did the Second Army bring him up?"

Because some high school seniors would choose to leave the club for reasons like college entrance exams, the club usually undergoes a major shakeup after the IH ends, so it's not surprising to see new members. But looking at that yellow-haired boy's movements and expression...

You look like a newbie no matter how you look at it?

You can’t tell the opponent’s true strength just by looking at their posture, you still have to start with the competition.

Coach Beimingyu did not explain too much, but just explained that the other party was on leave at the start of the semester and that he was indeed a novice.

"I was wondering why you agreed so suddenly," Coach Jiujiang snorted coldly, almost sharply, "So you want us to be your sparring partners."

Kanagawa No. 1 only participates in short-term training sessions during the Golden Week. During the summer vacation, they usually train on their own due to school reasons. It's easy to arrange practice matches for them, but getting them to come out is almost impossible.

Hearing this, Coach Beimingyu smiled and clasped his hands together: "Only through adversity can one grow." He wore a long string of Buddhist beads on his chest, and since retiring he looked like a practitioner. Just looking at his attire, it would be hard to imagine that such a person is actually the coach of the volleyball team.

While the two of them were spying on each other, the practice match officially began with a whistle from Assistant Coach Saito.

“Beep!”

Because Ushijima guessed the side correctly, Shiratorizawa served in the first game.

And Shinichi Kenshiro slowly walked to the serving point under the gaze of all the members of Kanagawa No. 1, step by step. Even though the sound could not be heard in the slightly noisy environment, the opponent's strength in the main competition had already made everyone extremely alert.

For a moment, the other schools that had not yet started quietly focused their attention on the match between Shiratorizawa and Kanagawa Daiichi.

The first game of Tomi's team was postponed because the last school in the training camp was Fukuda General from Shizuoka Prefecture, and they just called to say they were still on the way. So the generals were warming up and observing at the same time. In the end, Sakishima simply moved the bench and sat next to the manager of Kanagawa First.

The Tomi Gakuen setter even greeted him enthusiastically. "Hi," Sakishima said, "are you familiar with Shiratorizawa?"

Tanjiro didn't feel any ill will towards this person who suddenly appeared. Instead, he thought for a few seconds and smiled brightly, "I think so! But I'm a first-year so I don't know much."

Xiandao understood, crossed his chest and turned his attention back to the competition field, "But Shiratorizawa is really strong this year." He seemed to sigh with emotion.

Although Tomi entered IH, her ranking was not very good. When their coach received the training camp invitation from Shiratorizawa, he suspected it was a scam call.

After all, compared to a school like Kanagawa First where they know each other well, their relationship with Shiratorizawa is no different from that of ordinary passers-by.

"Yeah!" Tanjiro said in a clear voice, "That's why we have to become stronger together and then declare war on Shiratorizawa!"

Sakishima: ...

Although declaring war was a pleasant thought, it was a bit embarrassing to actually say it. He couldn't face the smile of Kanagawa's top manager. He touched his head and said, "Oh, come on!"

The two men bumped fists.

Tianchuan on the other side of the bench was silently envious for two seconds: ...

This feeling of heroes forming a team on the road to defeat the devil, damn it, Tianchuan clenched his fist, he also wanted to experience it!

But after thinking about it, the sophomore main attacker sighed, "Really..."

Baibu tilted his head and saw that his senior seemed a little helpless.

"We really have joined the devil's camp." Tianchuan murmured as he stared at Kenjo Shinichi at the serving point.

Demon King camp?

Why are you suddenly saying this? Bai Bu is not unaware of the nicknames some people give to Jian Cheng, but the Demon King with Bai Niao by his side... ?

For some reason, it sounds like the deterrent effect has suddenly weakened a lot.

Kenjo Shinichi serves.

He threw the ball up with his right hand, then raised his arm. The blue-haired boy's somewhat unconventional temperament suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by boundless pressure, as if he had suddenly become a different person.

Then he hit the ball, and because the force was too great, the side of the volleyball that touched his palm was even deformed, rippling like waves, and finally flew towards the heart of Kanagawa No. 1 like a bullet.

Even after undergoing hellish training, they still couldn't react when faced with such a situation.

No, Tokito Ichirō thought, it was his body that couldn't keep up with his will.

Even if you can see the trajectory of the ball clearly, you can't take a step. What a terrifying dominance.

Followed by a loud bang, like a cannonball.

Shiratorizawa took the lead and scored a point.

“What a great shot.”

Although he was shocked, Supervisor Beimingyu still spoke the truth. He thought for a moment and looked at the suddenly proud Eagle Takuji and said, "Can you lend me Kenjo-kun for a while today?"

The team exchange will not take place until the next day, but Coach Beimingyu is really itching to think about the new possibilities.

Coach Jiujiang looked straight ahead and asked, "What are you planning?"

According to his intuition, it didn't seem like a good thing to suddenly ask for someone.

"I want to train with a new weapon." Coach Beimingyu said honestly, "It just needs a little high-pressure stimulation."

arms?

In his opinion, Fuzukawa Xuanya has grown very well. Although his spiking still needs some improvement, he will be a shining diamond after polishing. So the new weapon here can only refer to the yellow-haired boy who has begun to tremble.

But seeing the other man's legs seeming to tremble, Coach Jiujiang was silent for a few seconds: "Not a big deal."

How could anyone be so frightened and trembling on the field? Sword City isn't that scary, is it?

Sometimes when he's not distracted, he's still a very good kid...

Coach Jiujiang's right eyelid suddenly twitched, and then the good boy Jiancheng he mentioned walked in front of the trembling opponent in full view of everyone, and pushed away Tiantong who had not reacted.

Jian Cheng stared for a moment, then asked, "Are you scared?" He seemed unable to understand, and his tone was a bit inquisitive as he asked, "Why?"

“…”

This is a competition! It's not official, but what are you doing, Sword City?

For a moment, no one knew how to react.

Eagle Blacksmith: ...

Coach Jiujiang took a deep breath, his expression like a devil: "Jiancheng! Get back to the serving position!"

Tanjiro and Sakishima, who were originally feeling emotional about scoring a point on their serve, were also strangely silent.

The devil himself came out of the castle...

Only Agatsuma Zenitsu was sweating profusely. Please, he didn't burst into tears because he had a good attitude.

So why does someone make such a loud noise when serving? Is that really not a weapon disguised as a volleyball? He turned to Fuzugawa Xuanya standing beside him with tears in his eyes: "Xuan, Xuanya..."

His voice was still trembling, "...Do I have to fight?"

He has only been learning volleyball for a few days!

Xuanya nodded, "It's okay, Zenitsu." As if to comfort him, he also added, "You are very strong."

Zenitsu:......

Who is stronger? Him?

So, what misunderstandings do these people have about him?

Agatsuma Zenitsu, male, the top high school student in Kanagawa, regretted for the umpteenth time that he had hugged Tanjiro's thigh and begged him.

If he had known that volleyball could kill people, he wouldn't have come!

"Hey—" The match between Inarizaki and Qingcheng hadn't started yet. Seeing this scene, Gong You said in a long voice with a hint of smile: "That yellow-haired guy looks like he's about to cry. Is he a newbie?"

When Miyaji saw him like this, he knew that what his twin brother would say next would definitely not be nice.

As expected, Gong Yoo’s next sentence was, “How pitiful.”

"A hero who just left the Novice Village, let's call it that, has already encountered a villain like Shinichi-kun," Gong You falsely wiped away tears, "How pitiful."

Miyaji: ...

What a nasty guy.

"But why did you suddenly start calling him Shinichi?" Miyaji asked.

In the first few seconds, he kept shouting "That Jiancheng, that Jiancheng".

Gong You: ...

The reason was that he had just heard his opponent shout in the first practice match of the day, and he felt that he couldn't lose.

Gong You said dryly: "Leave me alone."

Miyaji's response to this was to roll his eyes.
