Chapter 41 Volleyball 01
[The first week is being settled...]
【The host has left this world.】
[Importing the next world to the host...]
[Volleyball World has been successfully loaded. Please select your initial landing location: Karasuno High School, Aoba Johsai High School, Otokoma High School, Shiratorizawa Academy, Ichiyama Academy, Owl Valley Academy, Inarizaki High School.]
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
Was she seeing right? There were so many schools to choose from?!
[The appearance of the captureable object is loading... Please remember the appearance of the captureable object. ]
The scene before her eyes was still the pure white space of the initial loading interface. As the background sound of the system introduction faded, a group of athletic teenagers wearing uniforms of various school teams appeared in front of Kurikawa Sana again.
The only difference this time is that there are a lot of people here.
Having learned from the experience of the previous world, Kurikawa Sana carefully looked at the appearance of everyone this time and memorized it carefully in her mind, so as to avoid being unable to find anyone who was a conquest target like last time.
——The orange-haired boy wearing the black and orange uniform of Karasuno High School had a bright smile on his face, emitting a warm aura like the sun. The other two on the same team were the tall black-haired Ikemura and the light yellow-haired boy with glasses. Both of them had cold expressions, but the former was simply expressionless, while the latter seemed to be indifferent with a hint of indiscriminate mockery.
The Aoba Josai High School uniform is just like its name, a refreshing turquoise and white. The brown-haired boy in the uniform is particularly handsome, and the black-haired boy with a crew cut standing side by side with him has a resolute temperament.
The boy wearing uniform number 1 of Red Onoma High School is tall, with stiff black hair standing up. The boy next to him has an expression like a lazy calico cat, and his black and yellow gradient pudding head hairstyle is very personal.
Shiratorizawa Academy No. 1, dressed in a purple and white uniform, is the strongest among all. The boy with army green hair holds the volleyball in one hand, and his gaze looking down from above carries the absolute confidence of a strong man.
The young man in the yellow-green team uniform of Jingtashan College wore a white mask, and his eyes and temperament were quite melancholy, revealing only his dark eyes and black curly hair.
The two men in the black and white uniforms from Xiaogu Academy both looked over 5'8". One had an unforgettable black and white gradient hair, strangely resembling an owl. The other had black hair, a calm gaze, handsome features, and seemed remarkably stable.
The final Inarizaki High School team all wore pure black uniforms. The silver-haired boy number 1 was fair and handsome, with a calm temperament. The black-haired boy number 10 had eyes as narrow and upturned as a fox.
The most eye-catching is a pair of twins who look like copies of each other. They have identical faces, are tall and handsome, and when they stand together, it seems as if their aura has doubled.
…
There are so many people, really so many people!!!
After spending a lot of effort to remember everyone's appearance, Kurikawa Sana finally understood what the system had meant when it said, "There are a lot of people in the next volleyball world and tennis world." This is really a lot.
There are already so many people in the volleyball world, it’s hard to imagine how many people there are in the tennis world.
System: [So, have you decided which school you want to go to? I'd recommend Karasuno High School in Miyagi Prefecture. Karasuno has the most connections with all the schools, giving you the advantage of being close to the action. The only awkward thing is that Karasuno already has two managers, so getting into the volleyball team there might require some effort...]
Kurikawa Sana suddenly said with absolute certainty: "I've made up my mind, let's go to Inarizaki High School!"
system:【……? ? ? 】
Are you sure? Inarizaki High School is located in Hyogo Prefecture. Most other schools are in Miyagi Prefecture and Tokyo, but Inarizaki is the only one in Kansai, very far from both Tokyo and Miyagi Prefecture...
"The Shinkansen from Hyogo Prefecture to Tokyo takes three hours, and the Shinkansen from Miyagi Prefecture to Tokyo takes about two hours, so the difference isn't that big."
system:【………】
System: [Tell me the truth, are you attracted to this handsome guy from Inarizaki High School?]
Kurikawa Sana blushed, "System, why do you have to expose me?"
system:【…………………】
The system originally wanted to say something, but after thinking of her final ending in the previous basketball world and the sad memories she left behind, the system could no longer say any words of dissuasion.
Forget it, as long as she is happy, anything is fine.
Now she still looks lively and cheerful, but that's just on the surface...what about the reality?
System: [Sana, you...]
The ending of the last basketball world was too depressing and suffocating. How could she completely forget it in such a short time?
[If you're sad, you don't have to force a smile, Sana.]
Kurikawa Sana was stunned for a moment.
In an instant, the faces of Akashi and the others flashed through her mind, the warm and beautiful moments they once had, and the scene of their final disintegration, all flashing back.
A sour feeling surged in her chest, carrying the suffocation and pain she had felt in the last game of the national league.
And... the last thing she saw before she fell was their shocked and bewildered eyes, and their figures rushing towards her.
I don't know what happened to them after that.
But there was no point in thinking about this. She and they...would never have the chance to meet again.
After a long pause, Kurikawa Sana said softly, "It's all in the past... As I said before, I approached them with impure motives, simply to gain favor. Given that, it's only natural for them to withdraw their favor. I can't blame anyone."
"Having your favorability taken away and then falling ill is perfectly normal. I just hope the volleyball world won't experience the same thing again..."
System: [No, the young people in the volleyball world are all very sunny, and that kind of situation won't happen. This world really plays volleyball seriously and scientifically.]
"Really? That's great!"
[So, have you decided to choose Inarizaki High School as your starting location? ]
"Yeah, sure." Hearing the system repeatedly asking for confirmation, Kurikawa Sana asked uncertainly, "Why, choosing Inarizaki will be difficult?"
System: [Not really, it's just that we need to put more effort into the multi-school camps and cross-school practice matches.]
What can I do? It’s her choice, so I can only go along with it.
"Great! This system is the best!"
The system was silent for a moment.
[Data loading completed, currently being transferred to the second world for the host——]
[The countdown begins, five, four, three, two, one...]
The dazzling white light in the space suddenly expanded, engulfing everything around it, and then disappeared.
…
When she opened her eyes again, Kurikawa Sana was already standing in a brand new home, and on the table in front of her was the female student uniform belonging to Inarizaki High School.
A white base shirt and a dark pleated skirt, a red bow tie, and a brown khaki suit jacket, a very standard JK girl student uniform.
System: [We have completed the admission procedures for Inarizaki High School for you. You will be able to enroll directly in Class 2, Grade 2 of Inarizaki High School tomorrow, in the same class as the older twin brother you just saw.]
"Hmm? Which one is the brother?"
[The one with blond hair is the older brother, and the one with silver hair is the younger brother.]
"Hey, the two brothers are not in the same class..."
[My younger brother is in Class 1, Grade 2. It's okay if they're not in the same class. They both live next door to you.]
"What a coincidence! This time, the neighbor is actually a captureable target."
[Yes, referring to the emotional fluctuations of my neighbor Hua Gongzhen in the previous world, I think the location of my home is very important. The closer you are to the water, the better. Being a captureable neighbor is helpful in gaining favorability.]
Kurikawa Sana was stunned for a moment, "You mean Hanamiya..."
System: [Yes, Hua Gong really likes you.]
“………”
Thinking of the black-haired boy with a gloomy temperament and a weird personality, Kurikawa Sana sighed softly.
No matter what the past was, it's time to move on.
Kurikawa Sana looked up at her new home in this world. It was a spacious and bright one-family house. The systematic decoration style seemed to have improved a lot. This time it was a warm and comfortable wooden style.
"System, you're becoming more and more skilled at decoration."
Thank you for the compliment.
"Come to think of it, I should be joining the volleyball club as a manager when I start school tomorrow. I should buy some Volleyball World skill items in advance..." Kurikawa Sana skillfully clicked on the system mall interface -
【Volleyball Section】
Basic props——
[Elementary Volleyball Knowledge and Tactical Guidance → Exchange Required Value: 15 points.]
[Basic Volleyball Skills and Practical Actions → Exchange Required Value: 20 Points.]
[A hard volleyball → Exchange value required: 10 points.]
[A set of high-quality jerseys → Exchange required value: 10 points.]
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
The basic props section is still so baffling. Who would have thought that her crazy complaints in the last world, "Who would spend 10 points of favorability to buy a hard basketball?" would actually come in handy, allowing her and Akashi to escape from the kidnapping case.
However, she no longer planned to exchange her precious favorability points for theoretical knowledge of volleyball and elementary movements. She decided to work hard to improve her knowledge of volleyball on her own. After all, favorability points were extremely valuable. Before leaving the previous world, 60 favorability points were deducted. Her current system mall balance must be dire...
Wait, wait a minute.
Kurikawa Sana's eyes widened in shock.
Is she dazzled?
Why else would she see the available favorability balance displayed in the upper left corner of the system mall—a full 400 points?!
How is this possible? In the previous Basketball World, there were only 6 players who could be conquered, and each player had a capped favorability of 100 points, so the maximum favorability that could be obtained was only 600 points.
She had previously purchased the god-level basketball item "O'Neal Possession" and the god-level tennis item "Black Hole", and her health points were deducted due to illness, which added up to 200 points she had spent... But now the system shows that she has a balance of 400 points of favorability available for use!
This means that the favorability of the six conquestable targets in the previous world towards her is all at the maximum value.
Kurikawa Sana stood there in a daze.
She clearly remembered that when she left the world, their favorability towards her remained at 90 points, and even Murasakibara Atsushi deducted 60 points of favorability from her that day... But now, they are all at full value.
What exactly happened?
The system said: [Sana, after you "left", Akashi and the others gradually realized their feelings and regretted their past actions... Therefore, after that, their favorability towards you broke through the bottleneck and finally reached the maximum value.]
[Plus, after they entered high school, Kuroko Tetsuya and his new "light" Kagami Taiga defeated the Generation of Miracles one by one, allowing them to finally find their former selves.]
“…I see.”
After being stunned for a long time, Kurikawa Sana finally smiled with relief.
"That's good. They've finally found their old selves and are no longer depressed."
"It's so great to have favorability points back! I've never fought a battle with so much money!" Kurikawa Sana tried to lighten her tone. "Now that I have a higher balance, I think I can buy high-end volleyball items this time! My experience in the last world taught me... knowing how to play really helps a lot in conquering!"
Continue to view the system advanced mall section props——

He's the guardian angel of the volleyball court. Purchase this item to gain a volleyball libero with Castillo's prowess. → Redemption Required: 100 points.]
Kurikawa Sana: "...!!!"
Wow, so powerful!! As expected, it's a god-level item that requires a full 100 points of favorability to redeem!!
And was it just her imagination? She always felt that compared to the props in the tennis world that could create "black holes" and "destroy the five senses", the props in the volleyball world seemed so normal.
System: [It's not your imagination. I've already said that this world is truly scientific and takes volleyball very seriously. So, have you decided which item to buy? Being able to play volleyball is crucial to your capture progress. No matter which school you're in, being a good volleyball player will always attract the attention of your captureable targets.]
Kurikawa Sana nodded: "I've made up my mind, I want to buy Leon's possession."
System: [Oh? You chose a spiker! I thought you'd choose a setter. Many of the captureable targets in this world are setters.]
"In my last life, my basketball game lacked offensive power. I couldn't completely defeat Aomine, so I had to watch him turn evil..." Kurikawa Sana clenched her fists. "This time, I'm going to be the strongest! No matter who shows signs of turning evil, I'll stop them!"
System: [...I've always said this world is sunny and scientific, no one would turn evil. Um...wait, didn't you say you wanted to buy Leon's possession? Why haven't you bought it yet?]
Kurikawa Sana: "No rush, I'm waiting for the half-price sale on Crazy Thursday."
system:【……………】
I really admire her.
The system sighed: "Alright, I've finished looking at the mall items. Now that I have nothing better to do, you can go out for a walk and get familiar with the environment around Hyogo Prefecture and Inarizaki High School."
"Okay."
Before getting ready to go out, Kurikawa Sana glanced at herself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room.
Because all the conquerable characters in the previous world had full favorability, the volleyball world finally started without the debuff of being weak and sickly.
The girl in the mirror had long black hair, her skin a healthy pink tinge amidst its whiteness, and she looked incredibly healthy. Her figure had become taller, now the height of a high school student, and her features had matured somewhat.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Kurikawa Sana smiled, turned and walked out.
…
*
It was already late, Gong You finished the extra training after the club work, and walked home cursing while carrying a big bag of rice balls.
At this time, the phone rang. Gong You made a "tsk" sound and connected the call.
"Yuu, where's the tuna rice ball I ordered?"
The voice on the other end of the phone came from his twin brother Miyaji, with a low and lazy Kansai accent that made people angry.
"What do you think I am, you bastard? I worked so hard to finish extra training and still have to bring you dinner!"
"Hurry up, I'm so hungry."
A cross-shaped vein popped out on Gong You's forehead. Just as he reached the door of his house and wanted to roar at their room upstairs, he saw that the single-family house next to their house, which had been empty and uninhabited for a long time, was open for the first time in a long time.
With a "click".
The door was opened.
A girl whose beauty was beyond words came out.
The other person seemed to have seen him at a glance, and her beautiful blue eyes as clear as a lake looked over at him, her long eyelashes fluttering. The moment she raised her head, the light shone on the girl's delicate and beautiful face, and everything became clear in an instant.
“………!!”
"Click".
Gong You loosened his hand, and the big bag of tuna rice balls from someone's dinner fell to the ground.
Isn’t the new neighbor so pretty?! !
…
Kurikawa Sana was also watching him.
The young man before him had a dazzling, flamboyant dyed head of blond hair, with only the shaved area above his ears revealing his original darker undertones. He was tall, with strikingly handsome features, his trademark thick eyebrows and large eyes blending perfectly with his unruly hairstyle.
Blonde, is this your brother?
There are two such handsome guys who look exactly the same.
[Gong You, Favorability +10.]
A notification sound indicating that the other party's favorability has increased rang in my mind.
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
Wait, the first person she met at the beginning, her initial favorability increased very quickly, and she had golden hair... It reminded her of some not-so-good memories. Huang Lai had the same exact start.
Kurikawa Sana came forward, picked up the bag he dropped on the ground, and said with a smile: "Well, you dropped your things."
"Oh, oh..." Gong You came back to his senses and took the bag she handed over.
During the return process, Kurikawa Sana gently touched the boy's finger bones.
With a "ding" sound.
A row of attribute fonts that only she could see appeared in front of her.

…
Kurikawa Sana paused.
He is actually the best setter in high schools nationwide, so strong.
"Have you just moved here?" Gong You asked.
Kurikawa Sana responded with a sweet and bright smile: "Well, I just moved here today. My name is Kurikawa Sana."
“…Oh, I live right here, next door to you. My name is Gong You.”
Gong You was a little uncomfortable with that overly dazzling smile and subconsciously touched the back of his head. "Your accent doesn't sound like you're from Kansai."
"Yes, I've been living in Tokyo before." Kurikawa Sana said smoothly, "I just arrived today and I'm completely unfamiliar with this place."
"Oh, I see. Then I'll show you around. The facilities around here are quite complete. You can get a clear idea of where everything is just by walking around."
"Really? Won't it bother Gong Jun?"
"I just don't have anything to do, that's okay."
“That’s wonderful.”
Gong You simply hung the bag of tuna rice balls at the door and walked out with the girl.
…
Half an hour passed.
Gong You's twin brother Gong Zhi played Pro Evolution Soccer at home for an hour, but still couldn't get Gong You's dinner, and no matter how many times he called, the guy didn't answer.
The silver-haired boy was so hungry that he was about to explode. He was filled with low pressure. He could no longer bear it and went downstairs to buy food by himself. As soon as he went out, he saw a bag of rice balls hanging at the door.
The white plastic bag was covered in stains, obviously having fallen to the ground, and the rice balls inside were broken into pieces.
Miyaji: “?”
Is this the dinner that Chunyou brought him?
"Treat!!Treat!!!"
The culprit finally showed up. Gong You ran back from outside and excitedly pulled his brother back into the house with a mysterious look on his face.
Gong Zhi said expressionlessly, "You'd better tell me some earth-shattering gossip, like finding Senior Bei's weakness or something like that, otherwise I'll just learn a little bit of martial arts."
"It's much more interesting than that! The new neighbor next door is a super beautiful girl!! And she will transfer to our school tomorrow and be in the same class as me!"
Miyaji: “…”
The silver-haired boy narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Is this why you completely forgot about my dinner and left me hungry for an hour?"
"Huh? You haven't eaten yet?"
This guy completely forgot that he was still hungry.
Miyaji closed his eyes and kicked him unable to bear it any longer.
