Chapter 46 Volleyball 06
Kurikawa Sana successfully added the line of Oikawa Toru and Iwaizumi Hajime.
When she returned the phone to her, she gently touched her fingertips and saw the attribute columns of both of them.

[Oikawa Toru, Favorability +6. ]
…
Very strong.
It was the first time that Kurikawa Sana saw someone with full marks of 5 for both "strength" and "technique". Oikawa looked tall and slender, and he was not the type with strong muscles, but he had full strength, which created a great contrast.
Wait, both Miya Yuu and Oikawa Toru are top setters, and their "techniques" are both full 5 points. Oikawa Toru's strength is 1 point higher than Miya Yuu, but Miya Yuu's "brains" is 5, which is higher than Oikawa Toru.
Kurikawa Sana: QAQ
I really want to watch a formal game right away and see how smart the golden fox who usually looks silly can be on the court.

[Iwaizumi Yi, favorability +13. 】
…
Kurikawa Sana was slightly stunned.
Very high initial favorability.
And I am 179.3cm tall, and I wish to grow another 7mm taller... What a vivid worry.
But in fact, there is no need to worry too much. As we all know, there is no real 179cm in the world. With this height, including the height of standing hair and casual shoes, it is definitely over 1.8 meters. What's more, high school students still have room for growth. The troubles of this Iwaizumi-kun also reflect his meticulous and honest quality from the side.
After complaining about her inner thoughts, Kurikawa Sana looked down at her phone. The screen showed that Oikawa Toru's Line nickname was "Talent Will Bear Fruit", and Iwaizumi Hajime's nickname was simply "iwaizumi".
Nicknames can reflect a person's personality to a large extent. Unlike what he appears on the outside, Oikawa Toru turns out to be such a serious person.
Kurikawa Sana looked at the brown-haired boy with some surprise.
——Talent will blossom and bear fruit.
This sentence was very powerful, and it reminded her of the paradox of the basketball world in the previous round. There was a huge gap between geniuses and ordinary people, especially in sports.
Kuroko Tetsu is the hardest-working yet most ordinary player from the previous round. Among the geniuses of the Generation of Miracles, Kuroko feels pain, yet he never gives up on his love for basketball. Therefore, he redoubles his efforts, honing himself, and waits for the day when his hard work will bear fruit, day after day of sweat.
But Oikawa Toru has a superior physique, outstanding skills, and an excellent five-dimensional ability panel. He is also praised by Volleyball Monthly as the best setter in Miyagi Prefecture... But even such an Oikawa would think that he is not a genius?
"Talent will bear fruit..." Kurikawa Sana repeated this sentence softly, then looked up at the other party, "It's a great nickname, Oikawa-san."
Looking into the girl's beautiful blue eyes as clear as a lake, and sensing the seriousness in her expression, Oikawa Toru was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "So, Kuri-chan likes volleyball too?"
"I like it." After subconsciously answering his previous question, Kurikawa Sana was taken aback by his address for a second, "Ku, Kuri-chan?"
The romanization of her last name Kurikawa is Kurikawa, and just like calling the first half of Iwaizumi Hajime's last name "Iwa-chan", Toru Oikawa just called her "Kuri-chan".
It's really... a very special name.
The corner of Iwaizumi's mouth twitched. "You... even if you're being too familiar, you bastard Oikawa!"
Kurikawa Sana: "This is the first time I've heard someone call me that. It's quite novel."
"It hurts, it hurts... Look! She likes this name too!" Oikawa Toru usually avoids the rock fist of his childhood friend.
"By the way, are Iwaizumi-kun and Oikawa-kun here for a trip?"
"Yes." Iwaizumi paused and replied, "I went to Osaka yesterday and came to Amagasaki Castle today."
Oikawa Toru sighed, "It's a pity it's so late now. I have to catch the Shinkansen back. Otherwise, I really want to visit Inarizaki High School, the strongest high school in Hyogo Prefecture~"
"Maybe we'll have a chance to meet each other in the future." Kurikawa Sana said softly.
The system said it would find a way - [Exchange Competition] and [Multi-school Training] will always be available.
But the two people on the opposite side understood it in a different way.
"Do you mean meeting him in Harutaka? We will try our best." Iwaizumi Ichi's eyes suddenly became more determined.
Oikawa Tetsuya put away his playful appearance, his aura changed, and he became extremely serious, "That's right, I will definitely beat Ushiwaka this year."
Ushiwaka, is he referring to Ushijima Wakari from Shiratorizawa Academy?
"OK."
Kurikawa Sana paused and nodded at them.
"Well, see you later—Oikawa-kun, Iwaizumi-kun."
…

On the Shinkansen back to Miyagi Prefecture.
"Iwa-chan, there's something wrong with you." Oikawa Toru teased his young friend with a smile, "I've never seen you get this nervous when talking to girls."
Although Iwaizumi usually looks stern and clearly doesn't have much experience with girls, this is actually a stereotype.
In reality, Iwaizumi wasn't just good at sports; he also had excellent academic performance and high IQ and EQ, so getting along with girls wasn't difficult for him. The stumbling tone he had today was truly rare.
"Why am I nervous?" Iwaizumi frowned.
"You can hide it from others, but not from me. When you were talking to her, your tone wasn't as natural as usual. It's like when your spike is blocked by the opponent. Even though you try to act normal, the inflection in your voice is still different."
Iwaizumi: "..."
"Is this the observation ability you usually have that allows you to see through your opponent's weaknesses? You bastard Oikawa."
Now it was Oikawa Tooru's turn to be surprised. The boy opened his mouth exaggeratedly: "You actually admitted it so readily... So Iwa-chan really cares about that girl!"
"What's wrong with appreciating beautiful things?" Iwaizumi admitted generously, his tone as resolute and upright as usual. "As for you, you usually take it easy when surrounded by girls asking for autographs, but today you seem so unresponsive. It's surprising."
"After all, she's a student in Hyogo Prefecture, so far away from us, it's still a question whether we'll have the chance to meet again." Oikawa Toru leaned back in a relaxed manner, saying lazily, "It's just a chance meeting, a one-time encounter. It's normal not to get too emotionally involved, right?"
Iwaizumi frowned.
...That's indeed the truth.
"Sometimes, you really are surprisingly rational."
"I'll just take it as Iwa-chan praising me."
The Shinkansen train sped along, and Iwaizumi turned his gaze out the window in silence.
The blue sky outside the glass window is clear and blue, just like the azure eyes of a girl that I caught a glimpse of.
The girl's smiling face seemed to appear before my eyes again.
...Will we really meet again?
*
Tokyo.
The young man with blonde and black gradient hair sat in front of the computer and opened the email sent by the game manufacturer.
As soon as he opened the email, the boy was slightly stunned.
The background picture in the email was a photo taken by a girl in front of the ancient city.
The girl had black hair like a waterfall, a delicate and beautiful face, and blue eyes curved in a smile. She was wearing the same dress as the most popular character in the game.
Is this a new cosplayer hired by the official?
Her name is shown in the lower right corner of the picture——
"Featured: Kurikawa Sana"
The boy's golden-brown pupils reflected the photo and name on the screen. After a while, he scrolled the mouse to the link below the email.
The link in the email is the download address for the second test of a popular game recently launched by this game company. The manufacturer will actively invite various anchors and game experts to participate in the internal test before the official public beta of the game. Guzhua Mosha is one of the experts who participated in the second test.
This is an open world adventure game that features innovative new gameplay where players can play online together. Different players can adventure in the same large world map.
Guzhua Mochu downloaded the game with ease, created an account and logged in, skipping the early tutorials and controlling the short-haired blond boy character in the game to come to the city-state at the beginning of the map.
After raising enough character levels and materials, he turned on the online mode.
In this mode, other players will join the world, and other players will appear in the city-states and other maps where there were originally only him and the NPCs.
As soon as he opened the online mode, Guzhua Mogul saw many characters controlled by other players appear in front of him, but his eyes stayed on one of the players.
——It’s the same character as the one in the photo in the email just now.
The girl standing in front of the city-state fountain, with long black hair, deep blue eyes, and a gorgeous dress, has been the most popular poster girl character in the game since its first test.
Above the girl's head was her ID, "kurikuri."
...kurikuri?
Lili?
Guzhua Momo took another look at the ID above his blond boy character's head - "kozume".
Both of their IDs start with k.
The black-haired girl in the game remained motionless for a long time, and the system automatically played her standby animation. Then, she tapped her toes and leaped lightly, performing an elegant and beautiful ballet pose.
Many players gathered around and looked at her quietly. A dialog box inviting them to team up appeared above their heads.
The reason is simple: Kurikuri controls a character that hadn't been fully accessible until the second beta. Since the initial leak, this character has gained immense popularity simply due to his stunningly beautiful illustrations and modeling.
Why does this kurikuri have this role?
Is he an anchor with particularly strong gaming skills?
After a long while, Kurikuri finally moved.
The black-haired girl character walked forward and got stuck on the edge of the fountain, but still insisted on moving forward, looking a bit unintelligent.
Lone Claw Grinding: "..."
It's so frustrating to watch. You can just press C and jump over the fountain.
Kurikuri stopped and competed with the huge fountain. She stood there thinking for a moment, and finally used the wind bottle worth 20,000 gold coins, and a whirlwind was set off in front of the fountain.
The black-haired girl took off on the spot, leaping forward and over the fountain that blocked her way.
The picture seems to be full of the breath of freedom.
Solitary claw grinding: "..."
What a waste... Usually this item is used to take off when encountering an insurmountable obstacle. Obviously, she can just walk around it or press C to jump over it... Doesn't she really know where the jump button is?
Soon, an even more humorous scene occurred.
An online player in the city-state released the ice monster he had just captured. The monster spewed out icy breath towards the sky, and the girl who had just taken off was frozen into an ice sculpture in the air.
Then, she fell down with a "bang", falling from a great height, and her health bar was directly emptied.
Solitary claw grinding: "..."
ah.
This is definitely not a high-level player or a game anchor.
If you are not a high-level player or a game anchor, can other people also have the opportunity to take the second test?
……etc.
Lone Claw Grinding suddenly remembered something.
kurikuri... chestnut.
The name displayed in the lower right corner of the photo of the black-haired girl in the email just now is - Kurikawa Sana.
The boy's slender fingers on the mouse paused.
After a while, he controlled the blond boy character in the game and walked towards the direction of kurikuri.
Then, using his character's skill, he resurrected her.
The black-haired girl woke up and quickly asked him to join a team.
Lone Claw Grinding approved her application to form a team.
Kurikuri: [Hello, hello!]
Kurikuri: [Thank you for saving me. Can I team up with you to level up? ]
The blond boy in front of the computer reached out and slowly typed a few words on the keyboard.
Kozume: [Yes.]
