Chapter 100 Shiratorizawa 3 Hyuga tilted his head, seemingly in doubt…
Hinata tilted his head, seemingly wondering why no one was blocking his shot this time. Then he turned around and saw that the middle blocker who was supposed to be guarding his spike had moved to the other side. Despite Hinata being used as a decoy, Tendo Satoru did not hesitate at all, waving his hand, showing such trust in his judgment.
“He’s also an intuitive player.” Ukai Keishin’s expression was somewhat complicated. “But he’s not quite the same as Sawada.”
I thought all intuitive players should be like Sawada Tsunayoshi, but now, looking at Tendo Kaku, I've noticed some differences.
Never mind, let's keep reading.
After the two powerful hitters served their service games, the match finally became more back-and-forth, and both players on and off the court breathed a sigh of relief, daring to refocus their attention on the court.
Hyuga spiked several balls, and Tendo Satoru would anticipate them and swing his hand like a car windshield wiper, sometimes blocking the spikes. The middle blocker looked up and stared at this guy, knowing that he was fast and many people couldn't react in time.
He's been good at scoring with that little bit of time in the game since he was a kid.
Like Inugami Kakeru, who is also very fast, Nekoma used to like having Kakeru keep an eye on him. After keeping up with his speed, Hinata started thinking about how to make his ball faster and harder to catch.
Seeing that Tendou had caught up again, he flicked the ball, and it gently landed on the ground.
Tsukishima became the next contestant to be harassed by Tendo Satoru after Sawada Tsunayoshi. The fact that Tendo harassed Sawada Tsunayoshi can only be attributed to Tendo himself taking a liking to him. Subconsciously, he felt that this person was a bit strange, and since he trusted his intuition very much, he naturally paid more attention to him.
What attracted him to Tsukishima was its rational, protective barrier.
Wow, that's the complete opposite of him.
Tendou felt a strange sensation in his heart, and like a child, he went to bother Tsukishima Hotaru.
Hotaru Tsukishima was used to mocking others, so when he used this tactic on himself, he displayed a completely different expression than Tsunayoshi Sawada. Well, not entirely different, though.
These two actually enjoy giving their opponents the cold shoulder and mocking them?!
While waiting for his chance to spike the ball, Tanaka overheard his teammates' conversations with their opponents and surprisingly discovered some common ground in their conversations.
While Ushijima Wakatoshi's spikes were certainly frustrating for them, it was the two Karasuno middle blockers who were furious when their spikes were blocked by Shiratorizawa's middle blockers and their shots were anticipated.
Suddenly I felt like I was being outdone.
But Tsukishima knew that he wasn't blocking based on intuition, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with the ball he blocked after thinking it through.
With Nishiya not on the court, Sawada Tsunayoshi was on the backcourt when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine as he saw that both of his middle blockers were looking at him.
Tsunayoshi: ?
Why are you looking at him? Look at the other side!
He expressed his confusion with his eyes.
Tsukishima asked, "How do you usually handle it when you're not training with Sawada?"
After a few balls, Tendou Satoru intuitively judged that he was not completely infallible, which puzzled Karasuno and his group.
Higashi Mineaki sighed, "It turns out that not all intuitive players are like Sawada."
Tanaka suspected that Ace meant to say "perverted," but since Tsuna was right there, he changed his wording to something more conciliatory.
“That’s true, after all, not everyone can compare to our Tsuna.” Hinata straightened his back and interjected.
Sawada Tsunayoshi looked horrified. "What have you been learning from Hayato lately?!"
"Hey, hey," he said gravely, "Don't let Hayato lead you astray!"
Clearly, Hyuga did not receive the heartfelt message from his childhood friend.
He replied to Tsukishima, "As long as I'm faster than Tsuna, even if Tsuna can guess that there's something special about my shot, I spike so fast that unless Tsuna can fly, he simply won't be able to catch it, hmph." Hinata, as a childhood friend, happily shared his experience.
Tsukishima didn't appreciate it, saying, "It seems this isn't suitable for me."
The two of them were discussing this in front of Sawada Tsunayoshi, not because they were teammates who had turned against each other during the match, but because they wanted to find some strategies to deal with Shiratorizawa.
Tsukishima pondered, "What method can I use to deceive Shiratorizawa's middle blocker?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi rarely thought about these things. He was strong enough that he often relied on sheer force to create miracles, smashing a passage with a heavy cannon shot without thinking twice.
Tsukishima saw in Ushijima Wakatoshi the brute force inherited from Sawada, as well as the lack of critical thinking.
No matter who blocks the ball, just smash it down and score.
A simple and direct approach.
However, compared to Shiratorizawa or Ushijima Wakatoshi who avoids receiving the ball, their opposite hitters seem to be more versatile, that is, they can do a little bit of everything, but not just a little bit.
Hinata demonstrated to Tsukishima how to make him unable to keep up with his speed.
In fact, Sawada's speed is not slow. Tsukishima watched and thought about the coordination. When he judged the approximate landing point, he was completely different from his usual violent self. He was as agile as a rabbit and could catch the ball in just a few steps.
Their bodies are all stable.
It must be said that Kageyama was very satisfied with this first pass. Hyuga was not worried at all about whether the setter would pass the ball to him. He jumped up happily and asked Shiratorizawa, the middle blocker, to judge. Tendo also thought that the ball would be passed to Hyuga.
He moved almost touching the net to Hyuga's front, trying to jump and block the ball.
The middle blocker was just saying he wanted to be faster than these guys who rely on intuition, but now he hasn't made a move.
"Huh?" Tendou Satoru jumped into the air and realized something was wrong.
This shot wasn't a crazy fast break, but a solid first-strike.
When Tiantong reached his highest point, Hyuga only started to jump. By the time he spiked the ball, Shiratorizawa, the middle blocker, had already begun to fall and could not block the ball at all.
"One person's time difference!" Gu Di recognized the move.
The block was broken, and there was a libero behind Shiratorizawa. Hyuga tensed his arm, swung it, and hit the main attacker's left shoulder, sending the ball out of bounds.
Coach Washi's loud, angry shouts echoed around the volleyball court again. Hinata glanced at Tsukishima.
How was it? Wasn't my shot just now a bit weak?
The other person's entire demeanor conveyed this message, and Tsukishima smirked, "Was that shot you just made related to what you said before?"
However, he didn't gain nothing. At least from that ball, it was clear that Tendo Satoru could be fooled, even more so than Sawada Tsunayoshi.
Hinata and Nishinoya high-fived, the libero entered the game, and the opposite hitter moved to the front row.
Kageyama didn't hesitate too much when choosing his attackers. Tsukishima's spikes weren't as fast as Hyuga's, but he showed more thought than Hyuga.
Tendo Satoru's intuition proved correct this time. Despite having just been tricked by Hinata, he didn't hesitate at all.
Won't you have any hesitation?
Tsukishima waved his arm; he's never been particularly dominant on offense, and this play was no exception.
Outmatched in strength, the ball was eventually pushed back into Karasuno's own court, and Shiratorizawa, the middle blocker, grinned.
"Lucky, number 11, your ball is much easier to catch than that little guy's."
"Is that so?" Tsukishima also gave a smile, which made Sawada Tsunayoshi feel even colder down his spine. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at the guy who was smiling sinisterly.
The opposing attacker serves, and Nishiya raises his hand to receive the ball.
The ace spiked the ball down, and the libero Shiratorizawa made a diving save, passing the ball to Shirabu. Tsukishima was deciding who to pass the ball to.
His eyes darted around quickly, and Shiratorizawa followed his usual strategy, passing the ball to the ace.
Sawada Tsunayoshi felt sorry for him, wondering if the ace would really be exhausted to death.
But Tsukishima didn't want Ushijima to take the point so easily.
Nishinoya handled the ball with ease. He didn't catch it perfectly, but it didn't land. Sawada Tsunayoshi jumped up with Tsukishima, and Kageyama's ball went over Tsukishima's head and was passed to the receiver.
Tendo followed again. With Sawada Tsunayoshi's immense strength, even the Shiratorizawa cheerleaders were on tenterhooks, worried about whether their team could defend against him.
The young leader also assumed a stance, his eyes resolute, and then...
Aim at Tendo's fingers.
"Bang—"
The ball flew out of bounds, and Tsukishima realized that it was a foul and went out of bounds.
Hyuga doesn't dare to use it like that because he's not strong enough; he'd easily fail to get the ball to bounce back onto his own court.
Sawada Tsunayoshi clearly didn't have this problem, while Tendo Satoru clutched his finger, which was clearly in pain.
"The thug went out of bounds, did you have to hit him so hard?" His fingers were about to break.
The receiver looked slightly surprised. "But I already controlled my strength!"
Tendo not only suffered from hand pain, but also felt emotionally devastated. Tanaka nodded, regardless of whether Sawada meant it or not.
But he and Tsukishima clearly stabbed the opposing middle blocker in the heart several times over.
Tsukishima suddenly sighed, and Sawada Tsunayoshi became alert. "What's wrong?"
One of Karasuno's own men said in a low voice, "If only you were as gullible as him."
Tsuna: "We're teammates, right?"
"That doesn't stop me from wanting to lie to you a few times."
Kageyama agreed with this, saying, "I also want to beat Sawada."
"No, I don't need Your Majesty's approval."
A hash symbol slowly appeared on Kageyama's forehead. Sawada Tsunayoshi and Tanaka skillfully each put one on, stopping the pointless dispute that hadn't even started.
Tsukishima subtly exerted pressure on Shiratorizawa, while the junior leader, vaguely sensing the undercurrents, was in a daze.
I have a feeling that this trick will one day fall on him and Xiao Xiang.
Shimada laughed from the sidelines, "These childhood friends have very distinct personalities, but they are equally cunning when it comes to their offensive tactics."
Gokudera corrected him, saying, "There is a strategy involved."
By the time Dino remembered to take a picture of his junior, the first game was almost over. He opened his phone and found his social media feed filled with red dots. Remembering the excited post he made on WeChat Moments the night before, he felt a mix of joy and guilt.
I was going to ignore those messages and turn on the camera directly, but then a new message pop-up appeared.
It's actually white magnolia?
He and Bai Lan would never exchange a single message in eight lifetimes, so why would she suddenly contact him?
"You are in Japan."
A simple message, yet delivered with unwavering conviction.
Dino's brow twitched, and he quickly clicked to take a look. The Vongola had kept the news of their Tenth Boss playing volleyball a closely guarded secret, even Byakuran and Uni were kept in the dark.
Koji Enma even commented on his Moments post. Finally, he stopped pretending to be a recluse and playing the victim in front of Tsuna all day long?
After a while, Dino belatedly realized that he might have caused trouble for his junior brother.

Author's Note: Chapter 100 is here! Yay! [Sprinkling flowers]
Although my mother initially disagreed with me taking a summer job, after a while she seemed to think that my early mornings and late nights were actually quite good, so now that I only have a few days off, she drags me to visit over a dozen shopping malls nearby. Finally, she even managed to get me to travel out of the province! (I'm writing this in my spare time.)
