Chapter 75: Karasuno vs. Okina – The first game's victory was without a doubt…
The victory in the first round was a foregone conclusion. When they switched sides, the Vongola side erupted in enthusiastic cheers. Gokudera Hayato had seen many different versions of Sawada Tsunayoshi.
The Tenth Boss, who is usually a bit absent-minded, is the Vongola boss who protects them during battles. He is the one who earnestly tells Gokudera, "I just love Gokudera like this."
The Tenth Generation cannot be simply summarized in a single sentence. Every day, even the next second of the Tenth Generation, is a unique existence.
The Tenth Boss doesn't carry them on his back during training, and everyone enjoys watching the young bosses train. The volleyball training is monotonous, but neither Sawada Tsunayoshi nor Gokudera Hayato find it boring.
He thought that if he could keep watching the Tenth Generation like this, he would be happy for the rest of his life.
Now, he can stand on the sidelines and watch the Tenth Generation apply what he usually finds tedious practice to the field.
In fact, during training, the leader's standard and extremely powerful volleyball-style attacks were cool enough, and his ability to accurately receive the ball also amazed them.
The Tenth Generation Boss is amazing.
But when all of this was actually presented to him in real combat, Gokudera Hayato couldn't help but marvel.
It turns out it can be even more powerful.
Volleyball is a team sport, but the loyal Lan Shou can only have eyes for the leader. So he pays attention to every breath the opponent takes, the subtle changes in his eyes when he looks up at the ball, and the curve of his lips when his plan succeeds.
Volleyball seems interesting; at this moment, Gokudera Hayato realizes the charm of this sport.
"I'll do it!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi judged the landing point and notified his teammates in advance, allowing the Karasuno members to experience the comfort of being members of the Fukudani Club back in the day.
As long as Tsuna takes the initiative to catch the ball, it will basically never land on their side of the field.
Kageyama Asahita nodded, and the short middle blocker became excited, taking several steps back before starting his run-up.
A good foundation allows athletes to fly higher.
A solid defense allows the setter to initiate the attack without needing to make any adjustments.
"It's like the relationship between lubricant and gears."
As Coach Takeda sat on the coach's bench, he said this to Coach Ukai. Ukai had also heard Takeda Ittetsu's explanation of gears and couldn't help but agree with his teacher's analogy.
After IH, everyone at Karasuno focused on correcting their mistakes, improving their weapons, and forging a still somewhat immature gear.
During joint training, they refine their skills to make them harder, more precise, and better able to work with others, ensuring they fit together and rotate smoothly.
Sawada Tsunayoshi seems to have some magical qualities. He can practice new moves with Sugawara and the others, serve to Nishitani Yuu, and even discuss mental adjustments for serving errors with Higashimine Asahi and Yamaguchi Tadashi.
Although they all called it a banding-up behavior of losers.
Sawada's arrival accelerated the gears of change, and the weapon named Karasuno became even more powerful.
"One more ball!"
Hinata and Kageyama's fast attack hadn't made a single mistake today, and they were scoring point by point in the second round, cheering and shouting for more points.
Next, Sawada Tsunayoshi stepped up to serve.
Unlike Kageyama, who was in such good form, Tsuna was probably too excited today. After all, he hadn't played a match in many years. In the last match, when it was his turn to serve, the little boss accidentally swung the ball away.
It possesses immense strength and makes a terrifying sound.
The momentum is definitely there, but it's not within the boundaries.
Sawada Tsunayoshi scratched his head sheepishly, while Hyuga and the others couldn't help but laugh.
"Xiao Xiang, have you and Yamamoto been secretly playing baseball together?"
Nishino slapped him on the shoulder, "Even if Hyuga could fly, he couldn't catch that ball, hahaha!"
Unfortunately, the sharp-eared and sharp-eyed baseball player Takeshi Yamamoto stood on the sidelines and shouted back.
"Tsuna was on our baseball team back in junior high!"
This attracted the attention of a large crowd of onlookers.
call-
Sawada Tsunayoshi exhaled slowly. He could say he was out of sorts in the last game, but making mistakes now was a bit much.
He held the volleyball up with one hand, waiting for the referee's whistle.
Upon seeing him, the person on the other side seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"His serve is inconsistent. Stay calm, we can return it."
"clear!"
The volleyball court wasn't large, which meant that even Tsunayoshi, who was in the service area, could hear his opponents talking clearly, so the Karasuno players inside the court could hear them even more clearly.
Hinata crossed his arms behind his head, a sinister smile on his face just like the others.
Those who dare to underestimate our support will suffer a great loss.
The moment the whistle blew,
The booming sound was like someone firing a cannon in the volleyball court, even more powerful than the ball that Tsuna missed in the previous set.
The audience couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy; was that even humanly possible to hit such a shot?!
Hayato Gokudera waved his little flag, full of energy.
"Go, Tenth Generation!"
The ball was served the instant the whistle blew, which was already too fast for anyone to react to, and the speed of this ball even exceeded 100 kilometers per hour.
To be able to deliver such a shot in high school, when his body hadn't fully developed and his muscles weren't at their peak, even impressed the retired coach.
"This little brat is quite impatient."
The people from Shannan were completely caught off guard and didn't realize what was happening until the ball hit the ground. They watched in a daze as the ball bounced off the ground and landed on the second-floor stands.
This drew gasps of amazement from the audience.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was a little embarrassed. He smiled apologetically at the audience, put his hands together in a pleading gesture, and blinked his eyes as if to say, "Can you forgive me?"
The audience was silent for a moment, then their gasps turned into cheers.
The members of the Fannan team rubbed their arms, still reeling from that last shot; the libero shivered.
"This guy should apologize to us."
Another teammate was indignant about the cheers, saying, "Damn that guy with the pool-faced face."
Meanwhile, in the Karasuno stands, Gokudera Hayato clenched his fists, watching the opposing spectators throw the ball back onto the field, his tone laced with jealousy.
"I also want the Tenth Generation to serve the ball to me!"
Takeshi Yamamoto laughed heartily, "We can't receive the balls that Tsuna serves from here."
He then changed the subject.
"But I can throw the ball at you."
Rokudo Mukuro coldly replied, "If you're not afraid of death, I can also hit you with a ball."
Gokudera Hayato looked disgusted. "Get lost! Who wants your balls!"
Hitoka Yachi, who was standing closest to her, had a complicated expression. Sawada was such a nice guy and got along well with everyone, so why did his family seem to want to trip each other up?
It was as if the ahoge (cowlick) on the top of Gu Direnhua's head was swaying back and forth.
Ah! It's just like being jealous of each other!
She finally found the right adjective, but the next second, Gu Di quickly shook her head.
They're just family, why are you talking like that kind of relationship? Haha.
wrong.
Gu Diren raised one eye and secretly observed those people.
They spent so much time together that Gu Di couldn't see anything yet, but there was one thing she noticed clearly.
This whole family, from children to young people her age to adults, truly only had eyes for that one person when watching the game.
It seems they don't care about winning or losing, just like the headbands with the word "Tsunayoshi" on them; they just want to watch Sawada-kun.
Regardless of the nature of the feelings, the bond between Sawada and his family has become so strong that it's considered a right thing to do. Yachi thought to herself, how come she didn't realize it earlier when it was so obvious?
When Sawada Tsunayoshi stepped up to serve again, the group of guys around him, who seemed to be members of his fan club, enthusiastically chanted slogans. One Karasuno and one Tsunayoshi were chanting so loudly that the whole stadium could hear them.
Renhua was slow to realize that because their relationship was so natural and had become part of their interactions, she was also led astray by these people until just now when she suddenly came to her senses.
Hinata and the others had already witnessed Sawada Tsunayoshi's serve, and seeing that the opposing team finally looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, they felt even more smug.
However, they were more careful to cover the back of their heads.
That ball could really kill someone if it hits them.
Dong Fengxu covered his head and trembled.
Sawada Tsunayoshi scored five points in one go. Now, he doesn't need his teammates to go to great lengths to keep the ball from hitting the ground; he can score five points on his own.
Serving is indeed the most powerful and direct way to score.
He felt he hadn't used some of his skills when the final whistle blew.
Hyuga looked bewildered and still feeling the excitement of the fight hadn't subsided. He turned to Tsuna and asked...
"Did the other side call a timeout?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi shook his head, pointing to his family members in the audience who were practically ready to set off fireworks in celebration.
"We should have won the game."
Tanaka and Nishinotani pressed forward from behind, shouting, "What do you mean 'should'? We won!"
Chrome told Rokudo Mukuro and the others, then ran down with Hitoka Yachi to the exit to wait for Karasuno and the others to leave.
Hayato Gokudera took out the match schedule. "The Tenth Generation has another match today, so let's stick to the original plan. We need to pack these things up later, as we'll need them in the next match."
Basil carried it out diligently, and even specifically instructed Lambo to take away and dispose of the trash he had created.
Inside the arena, Karasuno and his teammates celebrated their first victory during a short break. Gokudera Hayato involuntarily looked over there, and the Tenth Generation pulled his sweat-dampened hair aside.
It's a bit loose; it needs to be tied again.
Gokudera thought to himself that if it were any other time, he could help the Tenth Boss complete this task, but not now.
Sawada Tsunayoshi noticed that someone was looking at him, so he looked up and gave them an even bigger smile.
Not only Gokudera Hayato, but everyone else was also watching this little leader who was quite different from usual.
When Sawada Tsunayoshi said he didn't want them to come to Karasuno with him, did these guardians worry about being abandoned by their leader?
Gokudera Hayato asked himself honestly, and he did have it.
And I was especially scared.
However, when he thought of the Tenth Generation in the competition, he felt that his fear was shameful, even though it was something his leader had gone to great lengths to do.
How could he possibly have such a thought that would put the Tenth Boss in a difficult position?

Waaah, I have a fever today and I'm feeling a bit sensitive, so I wrote a lot of random things. ww Tenth Generation, ww27 baby, how can you be so good?
As I was writing, I started imagining the Tenth Boss descending from the sky in a black cloak... Ah, Kakuichi's Su Jiu Bag Face [poor face]
