Hinata's eyes suddenly lit up, "Can we let him suffer together?" For Hinata, some training was quite painful.
"You ask him!"
Although he had no idea what the two were discussing, Kageyama agreed in order to gain temporary stay for tonight.
After dinner——
Niou asked Hinata to do a set of warm-up exercises first, while he sat there waiting for Kageyama to speak.
"If you have any questions, just ask—"
"What did you mean by your last words today?" Yingshan thought for a moment and said, "What would have happened if I hadn't come to ask you today?"
"What happened?" Ren Wang smiled lightly, "Nothing will happen! It's just that you will be in more danger tomorrow..."
"What!"
"Do you know what your weaknesses are? Do your former teammates and seniors know your weaknesses?" asked Niou.
"Of course they know." This is a matter of course. The most important thing for a team is to observe and trust each other. He had been in that junior high school for three years before. There are some secrets to cultivating trust, and others naturally know them well.
"It's your original intention to become an excellent setter...right!" asked Niou.
"Yeah." Kageyama replied.
"So, learn the details of other setters' skills. This is your instinct!" Niou said with a smile, "In fact, no matter whether I give you any extra instructions today, you will use the little tricks you learned from Grind-kun in tomorrow's game to ensure the team's victory, right?"
"Yeah." Kageyama admitted honestly. This was necessary in order to win. "But this is all normal!"
"But... your evolution is a danger to others!" Ren Wang flashed a dark light, "especially to your predecessors..."
"You're afraid that Oikawa-senpai will use that weakness to attack me tomorrow—" Niou had discussed this topic with him before, and he was indeed prone to collapse because of this matter.
If we were facing other teams, it would be okay and we could slowly recover. But when we face Aoba Johsi tomorrow, it can be said that... if we collapse, we will lose everything.
"Yes." Niou nodded in satisfaction. This was what he valued most about Kageyama, even though the kid sometimes got carried away.
But the reason behind it—it’s heartbreaking.
——He is eager to win the game.
Niou felt that...as the surviving soul of Rikkai University, he could best understand Kageyama Tobio's feelings.
"Kageyama-kun, can you tell me why you were so excited during the game?" A light, almost inaudible voice came with the breeze.
At this moment, even Hinata, who was sitting in the courtyard doing warm-up exercises, chose to stop, and quietly waited for Kageyama Tobio to speak with his ears perked up...
"I just want to win!"
Or maybe the night sky was so empty and cloudless that the black-haired boy who rarely looked up at the stars was willing to open his heart in this small courtyard with shining lights for the first time...
Or maybe this reason had been buried in his heart for a whole year! Countless people blamed him and resented him, but no one asked him why he lost his composure and... harmony on the field.
"I just want to win..." Kageyama Tobio said again, and then sighed heavily, "The opponent in the last game was very strong. If we want to break through the opponent's defense, we have to attack faster..."
"But... no one can keep up with your speed, and no one can feel your anxious emotions. They can't stand your tone!"
A cold voice came from his ear, but it brought a warm feeling to Kageyama Tobio's heart.
This was the first time that someone stood by him and considered him in this matter.
"I know I'm impatient, but... I just... want to win!"
Kageyama Tobio lowered his eyes, and his usually tall and unruly body bent down in front of Niou. Hinata Shoyo stood far away in the yard, looking at Kageyama Tobio like this... somehow he suddenly felt a lump in his throat, he just wanted to win.
I just want to play one more game...
Why would such a simple and pure reason make people angry?
Why did he feel more unwilling and sad than usual when he looked at Yingshan like this, as if there was a long-dormant volcano buried in his heart. This volcano had already been covered with soil and snow, and had become the least important emotion in his heart...
However, at this moment, the flame that had been hidden in his heart for a long time suddenly shot up into the sky, instantly occupying his entire chest and heart cavity...
"Kageyama, you're not wrong!"
He stood in the silent courtyard and shouted at Yingshan under the brightly lit corridor. "If they think you are wrong, let me tell you, wanting to win - there is nothing wrong!"
"Not just you, I want to win too! I want to win every game, I want to win all the time, we want to win - that's right!"
"To win the game, give every minute and every second, and to do your best on the court - there is nothing wrong with that!"
"Endure the pain that others cannot endure, endure their contempt and incomprehension! Everything is for the sake of winning, and there is nothing wrong with that!"
Hinata Shoyo's words became more powerful and strident than the last, like pointed hammers, hammering away at Kageyama Tobio's long-silent heart.
Wow——
Although it was dark, Kageyama Tobio felt as if a ray of orange sunlight was shining into his world.
Everything suddenly became bright...
There was a shining person, coming against the wind... His eyes were full of light and determination. This person was thinner than him, but stronger than him. This person was more fragile than him, but more indestructible than him.
Perhaps it was because the sun was too dazzling, and it was too inappropriate in the dark night, that Kageyama Tobio suddenly felt a sourness deep in his eyes. For the first time, his bright eyes sparkled and immersed in the seabed...
The black-haired boy lowered his head calmly, hiding the embarrassment on his face.
The fine strands of hair covered his entire face, making it impossible to see every inch of his expression.
After a long time, a voice came, but it was cursing -
"…Idiot—Hinata!"
The earlobes are slightly red.
