Chapter 75 Volleyball 35
"The twins are having nosebleeds!"
Hearing the commotion coming from behind, Kita Shinsuke frowned and looked at the twins, his eyes filled with worry and confusion.
Why did I suddenly start bleeding from the nose?
But when he saw the black-haired girl running towards him, Kita Shinsuke immediately understood what was going on.
An extremely beautiful face, skin so white that it seems to be glowing, a slender waist revealed by the pink and blue swimsuit, and above that is the same snow-white... Stop!
“……!”
Almost immediately, Kita Shinsuke withdrew his gaze. Even the strongest sun at noon in Kansai could not make him feel the burning sensation on his cheeks, but at this moment it was so obvious.
"Yu-kun, Osamu-kun, what's wrong with you?" Kurikawa Sana came over and handed over a handkerchief, her tone full of worry, "Why are you suddenly bleeding so much from your nose?"
The moment she ran over, the suddenly approaching scenery became clearer, bringing with it the fresh and sweet fragrance of the girl.
“……!!”
The handkerchiefs they had just received were almost soaked with blood. The twins covered their noses tightly to stop the bleeding quickly in a physical sense.
Miyaji, who was slightly stronger than Miya Yu, was the first to stop the bleeding. The silver-haired boy regained his composure and replied, "Nothing. Maybe I ate too much tempura the other day and got a little irritated."
Gong You, who was at Strength 3, followed closely behind, wiping off the blood and regaining his calm face. "That's right, it was the twins' magnetic field that affected me. It's all because of the treatment that I'm bleeding."
Miyaji: “…Hey!”
"Is that so? Then you still need to pay attention to your diet." Several voices that increased her favorability sounded in Kurikawa Sana's mind, but she was still a little worried. "I'll go buy you some water."
"Senior, I have some water here." The black-haired boy walked behind her and said.
"Eh? That's great, thank you, Kageyama-kun!"
"You're welcome." Kageyama Tobio looked at her intently, the girl's face reflected in his deep blue eyes, extremely clear.
Hinata Shoyo's fair and pretty face flushed, and he praised her directly: "Senior, you are so beautiful..."
Kurikawa Sana was very pleased with the flower bubbles that appeared, "Hey~ Thank you Hinata-kun!"
Iwaizumi Kazuki and Oikawa Toru walked over together, and when they saw the black-haired girl in a swimsuit, they were both stunned.
No wonder the twins both had nosebleeds and caused quite a commotion. So that's how it is... It's understandable.
——It’s really a visual shock that is too impactful.
Iwaizumi's dark wheat-colored skin well concealed the slightly red face, while Oikawa Toru's face color didn't change much, but the expression on his face was obviously surprised.
Tsukishima Hotaru slowly approached. As the first person in the audience to see someone in a swimsuit, he had long since recovered from similar reactions and returned to normal.
The boy raised his hand to support his glasses, taking in everyone's reactions from the perspective of a bystander.
Each one of them is so lame.
Miya Yu had just wiped the blood from his nose when he noticed Kakuna Rintaro staring at someone. Even when he was silent, Kakuna's pressure was no less than that of the Kita team.
What happened to the corner name?
Following his gaze, I saw the tall first-year outside hitter from Karasuno, whose name seemed to be Tsukishima Hotaru. Was it because they were both outside hitters that Kakuna was inspired to fight? ...No, wait.
Gong You was stunned for a moment.
He almost forgot, if he remembered correctly, this man with glasses just now appeared with Sana!
The golden fox looked over with resentful eyes, and Kurikawa Sana asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Yu-kun? Are you dizzy from too much nosebleed?"
Gong You: “…”
Kita Shinsuke sighed, stepped out to take charge of the situation, and said, "Alright, time to start the beach volleyball game we promised you at the beginning."
At the mention of a competition, the boys all came back to their senses and instantly perked up: "Yes! Senior Bei!"
"The rules of beach volleyball are slightly different from those of indoor volleyball. Let me briefly explain: beach volleyball is a 2v2 game, best-of-three, with no positioning restrictions, only serving rotations."
"Each team can only hit the ball three times at most. Blocking the ball also counts as one hit. The third hit must be returned to the opponent's court. In addition, lobs with fingers are not allowed in beach volleyball."
After Kita Shinsuke finished his brief introduction, he continued, "Do you have any other questions?"
Gong You rested his chin on his hand and pondered, "If I hold a handful of sand in my hand and throw it out when I jump to block the ball, is it a foul?"
Kita Shinsuke: “…”
Others: “…”
Miyaji closed his eyes in silence.
For a moment, both those who played beach volleyball and those who didn't were silent.
Kurikawa Sana pondered, should I say that she is worthy of being the first setter of Brain 5, her mind is really quick.
Oshiro Alan complained: "You, it's a loss for the national team if you don't join the national team."
Gong Yoo: "I was just kidding! Just trying to liven up the atmosphere!"
Oikawa Toru burst out laughing, "I don't object. If Gong-kun wants, I can provide two shovels."
Kakuname Rintaro patted the golden fox's shoulder and said, "I've been telling you to be less abstract, but you didn't listen."
Gong You: “…”
Kageyama Tobio asked seriously, "As for the lob... I remember that in beach volleyball, you're not allowed to lob the ball with your fingers spread out, but you can bend two fingers and lob the ball with your knuckles, right?"
Iwaizumi nodded. "That's right."
Upon hearing this, Kita Shinsuke glanced at Miya You, as if to say, "Look at the other junior students, how serious they are."
Oikawa Toru smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Alright, Tobio, now the whole world knows you're going to do a lob shot later."
Kageyama Tobio: “…”
"Well, let's start forming a team," said Kita Shinsuke.
Iwaizumi: "I'm on a team with Oikawa."
Kageyama Tobio also spoke up, "Hinata and I will team up."
"Hey, I thought Tobio-chan wanted to play on the same team with Kuri-chan." Oikawa Tooru raised his eyebrows teasingly. "Didn't you say before that you wanted to pass the ball to her?"
Gong You: “…”
My fists stiffen when I mention this.
Kurikawa Sana, who was suddenly called out, also came over and pricked up her ears curiously.
Faced with the sudden question from Toru Oikawa, Kageyama Tobio was stunned for a moment. Looking at the girl in front of him and her beautiful pink and blue swimsuit, the black-haired boy's face suddenly turned red and he took several steps back on the beach.
"I really want to pass the ball to you, senpai...but today, senpai might not be in a good position to jump and spike."
“……!”
Oikawa Tooru exclaimed in surprise: "I didn't expect that you, Xiao Feixiong, are unexpectedly pure... no, unexpectedly shy."
Iwaizumi was silent for a moment.
This guy, what he wanted to say just now was "innocence", right?
*
Everyone was quickly divided into groups and the order of the matches was decided by drawing lots. The first match was between the combination of Oshiro Alan and Kita Shinsuke vs. Hinata Shoyo and Kageyama Tobio.
"Wouldn't it be a bad idea for two of us seniors to compete against two freshmen?" Alan Oshiro looked at Kita Shinsuke and asked.
Hinata Shoyo: “!!!”
How can we easily miss this hard-earned opportunity to fight against a strong opponent?
The orange-haired boy quickly bowed and said, "Please don't be careless, seniors! Winning or losing is not important. We cherish the opportunity to compete with you seniors!"
Oshiro Alan: "Since that's what you said, I'm going to hit the ball hard."
The others watched the game with curiosity, but then, these two freshmen from the little-known Karasuno High School in Miyagi Prefecture gave everyone an unexpected shock.
Even on the soft sand, even with bare feet, the orange-haired boy jumped up, as if every grain of sand was helping him soar into the sky——
The boy jumped high, his orange figure overlapped with the setting sun in the evening sky over the sea, as if he had transformed into an orange-red sun.
Looking at this scene, Kurikawa Sana opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Such a strong and upward vitality - at this moment, the orange-haired boy is as dazzling as the sun.
Kageyama Tobio sent the ball to Hinata Shoyo in a straight line with incredible precision. The latter also trusted him so much that he closed his eyes and dunked the ball hard!
With a loud thud, the ball was caught by Hinata Shoyo at an almost vertical angle, hitting the court between Ojiro Aran and Kita Shinsuke, raising sand and dust, and scoring directly.
There was silence on the field.
Sitting on the steel referee chair for the beach volleyball team, Ginjima Yui was shocked. "Is this true? The captain and Alan actually lost points?"
Big Ear Training: "What's the background of that first-year duo from Karasuno? This kind of fast attack is the first time I've seen it!"
Akagi Misaki: "Will the North Team and Alan not be able to win the first game?"
Kakuna Rintaro calmly concluded, "Don't worry, Kita-senpai and the others will definitely be able to take it down."
Miyaji, who had also fought against Karasuno, said, "The first-year team's fast break against Karasuno has a fatal flaw."
"That's right. Although no matter how many times I see it, this kind of monster-like fast break is still very cool..."
Gong You smiled, still possessing a powerful presence even when he was serious. "But there is a serious flaw. It's been a while since we last met in Miyagi Prefecture. I thought they would improve this flaw, but it hasn't changed."
Oikawa Toru raised an eyebrow, "As expected of you, Miya-kun, you noticed that too."
That's right, Kageyama Tobio and Hinata Shoyo's monster fast breaks always involve Hinata Shoyo closing his eyes as Kageyama Tobio passes the ball to him. Not opening his eyes means being unable to respond to changes in the game, and being blocked by the opponent after they adapt is the inevitable result.
Standing next to them and hearing the entire conversation, Kurikawa Sana suddenly whispered, "They are only in the first grade. They still have a long time to go, and the future is full of boundless possibilities."
“……?!”
Everyone was stunned for a moment and looked at her at the same time, as if they were a little surprised that she was so optimistic about those two people.
"Sana, you seem to admire him and them very much." Miyaji asked.
Kurikawa Sana nodded honestly: "They will definitely shine on the court in the future."
…
As the game continued, Kita Shinsuke, who was steady in defense and all aspects, had found the pattern of the monster fast break and gradually began to touch the ball. Hinata Shoyo and Kageyama Tobio could no longer score directly and easily.
The situation suddenly changed from offense to defense. Oshiro Alan smashed the ball with terrifying force, directly hitting the opponent's court. Hinata Shoyo filled in the position to receive the ball, but he was not very skilled at catching the ball. The volleyball went off the track and flew out of the court with a "bang" -
It hit the direction where Kurikawa Sana was! And it went straight to her face!
“…Senior!”
Hinata Shoyo was horrified, his face turned pale, and he was so nervous that his voice almost broke. Kageyama Tobio's pupils also contracted instantly!
Gong You, who was on her left, got a stern look in his eyes. He was just about to step forward to block the ball for her with his back - but he saw a figure appearing from the right and hugging the girl before him. The speed was so fast that he almost became a mint green afterimage.
With a loud "bang", the ball hit the back of the mint green figure. The brown-haired boy held the girl in his arms and let out a low groan.
