Chapter 50 Volleyball 10
Even after the four people from Inarizaki left, the four first-year students from Karasuno remained where they were, watching them leave, each holding a bag of puffs in their hands.
"Everyone has left, why are you still watching?" Tsukishima Hotaru said unhappily.
Yamaguchi Tadashi still hadn't recovered from his daze: "I actually added the super popular model Sana-chan's line..."
"It's rare for Kageyama to take the initiative to talk so much to others." Hinata Shoyo was still surprised. "No, it should be said that he is really brave. Even I think the looks of those seniors are scary-"
"Especially the blond one, he looks like he's about to mutate! He actually said in front of him that he wanted to pass the ball to the senior..."
"It's normal to want to pass the ball to a spiker like that, right? No setter would refuse." Kageyama Tobio said calmly, "Have you learned anything from seeing his comprehensive skills, boke?"
"Of course I did! I've already mastered that lob and overhead kick that senior just used!" Hinata Shoyo couldn't hide his excitement. "And there was that time when she faked a move, pretending to smash the ball hard, but her arm movement suddenly slowed down, and the ball flew over the net and she scored! It was amazing!"
"I'm so happy! I really want to keep playing, but unfortunately I don't know when we'll meet again..."
"So why did the school from Kansai suddenly come to Miyagi Prefecture?" asked Yamaguchi Tadashi in confusion.
"The school hotel they just said they were going back to is at Wakano 3-chome." Tsukishima Hotaru adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "Wakano 3-chome is near Shiratorizawa Academy. They must be coming to find Shiratorizawa."
Hinata Shoyo's eyes suddenly widened. "That makes perfect sense... As expected of you, Tsukishima! You're incredibly smart, aren't you?!"
Tsukishima Hotaru: "This is just a very simple reasoning."
Shiratorizawa...
Kageyama Tobio was silent for a moment, lowered his head and clenched the yellow and blue volleyball in his hand.

The next day, Shiratorizawa Academy.
"Hey, is this Shiratorizawa, the strongest school in Miyagi Prefecture? The school is quite impressive." Gong You whistled, "It even has a horse farm."
Kurikawa Sana couldn't help but look at the horse farm a few more times. She was also good at horse riding. Memories of riding with her brother suddenly flooded her mind, and she couldn't help but be absent-minded for a moment.
"The dining hall here is so big." Miyaji couldn't help but stop.
Kita Shinsuke: “…”
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
Okay, the melancholy feeling that I had been immersed in past memories just a second ago disappeared instantly.
Kakuna Rintaro twitched his lips. If there wasn't an exchange competition coming up, Miyaji would have probably rushed into Shiratorizawa's cafeteria.
"I'm so hungry." Miyaji said weakly.
Miya Yu also cast a resentful look at Kurikawa Sana, "It's all Sana-chan's fault that she gave the puffs that Zhi and I made to those brats in Karasuno last night. That's why Zhi and I have no puffs to eat..."
Kurikawa Sana laughed awkwardly, "Ahahaha, didn't I buy a double portion of pudding to make up for it later?"
Gong You said in a resentful tone: "No, I just want the strawberry puff that Karasuno brat has."
"If we can't beat Ushijima later, it must be because we're too hungry." Miyaji also returned to his nature and started to play tricks with his brother, his dark gray eyes also looking at her.
Kurikawa Sana: QAQ
"Don't worry about them." Kita Shinsuke patted Kurikawa Sana's shoulder soothingly, and stepped out to act as a stabilizing force. "If we can't beat Ushijima and Shiratorizawa, then we can forget about dominating the country and winning the Spring High School championship."
Gong Shuangzi: “……!!”
The expressions of the others also turned serious in an instant.
At the same time, the door of the Shiratorizawa Academy volleyball hall slowly opened, and the head coach, Kazuji Washigaku, walked out.
"Everyone from Inarizaki, welcome to Shiratorizawa Academy." Tsubasa Kaji, a dignified elder, spoke. Though his hair was white, he remained energetic and his eyes were bright. "Being able to communicate with the 'strongest challenger,' Inarizaki, a powerhouse in the national tournament, is a precious experience for Shiratorizawa."
Inarizaki's coach, Kurosu Hozo, quickly stepped forward to shake his hand. "You're welcome, Coach Washi Takumi. This is also an honor for us in Inarizaki."
The young man who came out right after Eagle Treasure Blacksmith had a distinctive short military green hair and a body so tall and strong that he was unforgettable.
The boy's full and thriving muscles seemed to burst out from Shiratorizawa's white and purple team uniform, blending with his resolute eyebrows and handsome facial features to form a unique aura. Just standing there was full of a strong sense of oppression.
Kurikawa Sana couldn't help but hold her breath.
...Ushijima Wakari.
One of the top three main attackers in the country and the ace of Shiratorizawa Academy.
This aura, this sense of oppression, these chest muscles... Oh no, cross this out.
After following Coach Washi Takumi to meet Inarizaki's team leader, Ushijima Wakari turned around and returned to the volleyball hall, and began to prepare for the game with his teammates. He did not look anywhere else throughout the whole process, and his whole body exuded a meticulous and resolute temperament.
Kurikawa Sana blinked, but without any further action, she entered the stadium with Inarizaki's players and sat in the nearest seats on the sidelines.
Coincidentally, there was already someone sitting in the nearest seat, and it was someone she never expected.
——It turned out to be Sakuhaya Seiomi.
Kurikawa Sana took a deep breath.
Why is Sakusaya Seiomi, also one of the top three main attackers in the country and a potential target for Tokyo Ichizan High School, here?!
The young man with thick black hair curly like seaweed wore a white mask and casual clothes. He sat on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, revealing only a pair of dark eyes, and his temperament was gloomy and calm.
When he saw Kurikawa Sana about to sit over, Sakuhaya Seiomi raised his eyes and looked at her.
When their eyes met, the boy paused for a moment, then quickly looked away and continued to look in the direction of Ushijima Wakari on the court.
Hmm, so cool, it feels like everything around me has been turned into quick-freeze mode.
Kurikawa Sana also sat down very calmly. She did not choose to talk to the other party immediately, but was also prepared to watch the game seriously.
…
On the other side, in Shiratorizawa's team.
Ushijima Wakari was shaking hands with Inarizaki's captain Kita Shinsuke. Both of them were calm and neither humble nor arrogant.
The rest of the team members stood at the back, waiting for the game to begin.
"Ah la la, I found something very interesting."
"What's so interesting? Senior Tendou."
Shiratorizawa's outside hitter, Kaku Tendo, raised a finger and waved it, "Look over there—Inarizaki has a manager, and a super-beautiful one at that!"
The drawn-out ending tone was playful to the point of exaggeration, a tone very characteristic of Tendo Kaku. However, when people saw the appearance of the manager Inarizaki he was talking about, no one thought his tone was exaggerated at all.
Damn, other schools actually have such a beautiful manager! And why does she look a little familiar?
"I remember now, isn't that Sana-chan?!"
Another outside hitter, Tai Kawanishi, clapped his hands instinctively. "I follow her on Instagram. Sana-chan is super popular there. Every post gets hundreds of thousands of likes, and her follower growth is amazing... So she's Inarizaki's manager? No wonder I saw her post a photo of the volleyball court before!"
Shiratorizawa's first-year candidate Goshikiko was stunned for a moment. "As expected of you seniors, you all have such a wide range of knowledge!"
Freelancer Hayato Yamagata: "No, why don't we have a manager?!"
Setter Shirabu Kenjiro frowned and retracted his gaze from the black-haired girl, "Isn't that what we should be focusing on right now? Our top priority right now is winning this match. I will never let Ushijima-senpai lose."
"You're right, Kenjiro." Tendou Jue narrowed his eyes, "I hope today can also be an interesting paradise."
The referee whistle sounded——
"The game begins!"
In the first few rounds, Shiratorizawa and Inarizaki played some balls that were steady and entertaining, with both sides testing each other's strength.
The calm atmosphere was finally broken when it was Ushijima Wari's turn to serve.
With a loud BOOM!!!
The loud noise echoed throughout the volleyball hall of Shiratorizawa. The high school students who were still practicing in other venues, and even the college students who came to the Shiratorizawa venue to play, were all frozen in time by the loud noise.
Everyone stopped and looked at Shiratorizawa and Inarizaki who were playing the exchange match.
Kurikawa Sana, who was watching the game from the sidelines, also widened her eyes in surprise.
This is the dominance of the top three main attackers in the country.
Absolutely pure power, a true heavy artillery.
The young man with military green hair who hit the ball that shocked the whole audience still had a look of determination and calmness on his face. After a slight pause, he continued to serve.
Sakuhaya Seiomi also raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Ruoli-kun...what happened to him today?
Others may not be able to notice it, but Sakuhaya Seiomi can feel that Ushijima Wakari is a little different today than usual.
Although Wori-kun is usually very strong, if you have to say, today's Wori-kun entered the "state" earlier than usual.
Why? Is there anything different today?
Suddenly, Sakuhaya Seiomi remembered something and felt the presence of the black-haired girl beside him in the corner of his eyes.
He has a very strong obsession with cleanliness. Under normal circumstances, he would not choose to sit so close to a stranger.
But today he didn't get up and leave.
Even through the mask, he could already smell the fragrance of the girl, but even the fragrance was "heresy" to him.
He should have gotten up and left immediately, but he didn't.
There is no other way, this is the only position where I can observe Jorari-kun at the closest distance, Sakuhaya Seiomi thought.
He came all the way from Tokyo to Miyagi Prefecture on the weekend, wasn't it just to admire Wakari-kun's strength? So no matter who sat next to him, he would not give up this seat.
The black-haired boy raised his head and looked towards the court again, intending to concentrate on watching the game.
But when looking at the court, Sakuhaya Seiomi couldn't help but be stunned.
This time, he saw it clearly.
Before serving, Ruoli-kun looked over.
Although it was only a very brief moment, almost too short to capture.
But he did, look over.
——Looking at the black-haired girl next to him.
Sakuzao Shengchen paused.
Is this why I got into the game early today?
