Chapter 85 Senior: "Am I late?" ...
Am I late?
The tall young man sat down in the audience. The silver-haired young man waving a small flag snorted and casually tossed a ribbon at him.
"You might as well not come at all."
Takeshi Yamamoto laughed and said, "That won't do. Tsuna will be sad if I don't come."
"Stop trying to glorify yourself."
As usual, Gokudera Hayato and Yamamoto Takeshi exchanged a few words.
"Huh, Tsuna's been fighting really violently today. Did someone upset him?"
He glanced at the court and saw his leader slam the ball down, the ball grazing the shoulder of the opposing player and landing with a dull thud.
Hinata reached out his hand to him, and the two bumped fists, the sound crisp and loud.
Gokudera was so excited by the Tenth Boss's dashing figure that he almost fainted. He waved the flag and repeated it bigger and bigger. The unfamiliar Karasuno fans silently moved away from him, afraid that the other party might accidentally throw the flag in his face.
"The Tenth Generation naturally has his own reasons."
Very good, even Gokudera himself doesn't know why the leader is in a different state than usual.
The others regretfully withdrew their gazes and turned to Chrome, the only one who might know the reason. Chrome, sitting beside Rokudo Mukuro, replied...
"Because the boss's opponents today blocked me and Shimizu-senpai on the road, but I already taught them a lesson back then."
Seeing that the Vongola members were captivated by her words, Chrome quickly explained, "The boss was also there at the time, and judging from the current situation, the boss seems to still be a little angry?"
I'm more than just a little angry!
The setter from Jozenji Temple, Takeharu Niki, dressed gruffly, questioned Yuuji Terushima, who had been targeted the most.
"Captain, what did you do to offend Karasuno and his gang?!"
Terujima clutched his shoulder, the pain making his teeth ache. He waved his hand dismissively.
"I just asked their manager for his contact information, who knew these guys would be so stingy."
Yamaguchi watched as Sawada Tsunayoshi and Hyuga Shoyo's anger escalated further, and wondered what those guys from Jozenji were saying to make these two so angry.
As a senior, Tanaka Ryunosuke should have helped his junior calm down, at least to prevent him from showing his emotions so openly on the field.
He doesn't want to eat the referee's badge.
As a result, a single sentence from the other side angered even the reliable senior. He looked at Nishiya, as if an invisible flame was rising from behind them, burning fiercely.
Dong Fengxu stretched out his hand and fanned it up and down.
"Hey, hey, calm down, Kageyama, say something too!"
Kageyama turned around, looking bewildered, and said, "What's wrong? It's a good thing to be motivated."
Can't this guy even read the room?! Dong Fengxu's expression crumbled.
Tsukishima, who had just been substituted, was drinking water on the bench when he saw this scene and couldn't help but cover his head.
"A bunch of idiots."
Despite his unreliable teammates, the young leader quickly calmed down. Chrome was an important member of his family, and Shimizu-senpai was also a companion. What he couldn't stand the most was others hurting his friends.
Perhaps the word "harm" sounds a bit heavy here, but Sawada Tsunayoshi's mood was not light. He pursed his lips, Hyuga was beside him glaring at the opposite side, and the two seniors were also shouting.
He could feel the referee's gaze frequently falling on them, as if the Karasuno guys were about to burst out on the field and perform a Mortal Kombat routine.
Don't act so violently!
Sawada Tsunayoshi's turbulent emotions subsided in an instant. He pulled Hyuga aside and spoke to the others.
"Tanaka-senpai, Higashimine-senpai, we can try to spike the ball more towards them from now on."
Hinata immediately realized, "Yeah, those guys have terrible teamwork. Did they even coordinate properly before?"
Dongfeng was also covered in cold sweat. "Their playing style is too free. I wouldn't dare to do that on the court."
This refers to the fact that the opponent saw Kageyama and Hyuga's fast attack and was eager to replicate it on the field.
Hinata returned to her position, sticking out her tongue, "I won't let them learn it so easily."
"It's not that easy to learn. Not to mention that their setter isn't as good as our Kageyama, they also can't jump with the same single-minded focus as you, Sho."
Sawada Tsunayoshi placed his hands on the back of his head, and Higashimine Asahi stood in the serving position, dutifully interfering with the opponent's vision.
They're probably still seething inside, Dongfeng Xu thought with amusement. Just now, Dadi wanted nothing more than to rush onto the field and punch each of the four of them. He was even afraid that he wouldn't be able to persuade them and that the tragedy of Karasuno being suspended would occur.
Dongfeng didn't want his youth to end so hastily.
He took a deep breath, surprised that Sawada, who usually had a good temper, could be quite intimidating when he got angry.
Hinata took a few steps back and saw that, as they had expected, the other side had failed to receive the ball properly. A smile appeared on his lips, and Nishitani Yu knew what this guy was up to as soon as she saw his smile.
What a worrying junior!
"I'll do it!" But he wasn't exactly a saint either.
Kageyama paused, making way for the two impulsive guys. Nishiya jumped from three meters away from the back row, and Hinata reached out and scooped the ball away.
"Huh?" Terujima looked up from the ball, his expression frozen as he looked back at the Karasuno field. Hyuga was so angry he wanted to burst the sky and ran to his childhood friend to take credit.
"See that ball?!" The jelly on the orange pudding jiggled, and the frosting shot out indiscriminately.
Sawada Tsunayoshi glanced at Nishinoya, then at Hinata in front of him, his mouth filled with sweetness from a bite of dessert stuffed into his mouth by his childhood friend.
"Wow," he said sincerely.
"That was amazing! What was that just now?!"
As the first person harmed by these two during his junior high school years, Kageyama has a lot to say about this.
"The libero's ability to pass the ball directly from outside the three-meter line is very demanding, and they practiced for a long time before they succeeded."
Sawada Tsunayoshi also thought that this shot was incredibly powerful, and Hyuga couldn't wait to explain.
"Because the seniors saw that I practiced passing during training, we specifically went to watch how a libero passes the ball."
Nishitani Yu gave a thumbs up, "Shohoku's Keiki can receive, pass, and spike the ball, which is super cool! He's an all-rounder, which is amazing. But liberos can't spike, so it's great that he can connect with setter Xi for a fun experience."
So it turns out it was Xiao Xiang's fault after all.
The two short guys were laughing carefree in front of him, and Sawada Tsunayoshi suddenly seemed to understand what Tsukishima meant when he said that they were brutally persecuted by Chidoriyama when they were in middle school.
Jozenji seemed surprised to find an even more reckless group than themselves, his face full of admiration. Terujima simply asked one of his own free agents.
"Tutang, you can also pass the ball from beyond the three-meter line?"
Facing the captain's expectant gaze, Tu Tang suddenly burst forth.
"How should I pass it? A pass that would be called a foul the next second?"
The other members of the Jozenji team turned their attention away with great regret.
Tutang: You guys actually think about this kind of thing?
Sawada Tsunayoshi suddenly felt a little sorry for the free agent on the other side, but then he thought about it again, and maybe Xiao Xiang and his teammates in middle school had the same headaches about the two of them.
In the audience, Uyang stroked his stubble and laughed, "Both sides are acting very recklessly."
The older man glanced at the specifications and felt there were some differences.
"Although both Jozenji and Karasuno have very unusual playing styles, Jozenji plays entirely according to his own will, and almost every member of his team does the same. Karasuno is much better in this respect."
He pointed to Daichi, who was stretching his muscles and making a terrifying cracking sound as he stepped onto the stage to replace Sawada Tsunayoshi, and said with a smile.
"He's just here to keep things under control, isn't he?"
Coach Wu still remembers this player, "A senior from the third year of high school, those little rascals still listen to their captain."
"If they don't listen to the captain, they'll be in big trouble," thought Hitoka Yachi, who was listening in. She imagined the consequences if Karasuno and the others weren't being kept in check by Daichi-senpai.
Ugh, she definitely didn't want to see that scene.
Ukai watched as Sawada Tsunayoshi walked off the stage, then beckoned him to come closer.
"Take this time to rest well and see how the seniors handle the reception."
Tsuna nodded. Seeing that the coach had nothing to say, he ran back to the bench. Yamaguchi handed him his water bottle, and he drank the water while watching his teammates on the field.
Daichi first punched Tanaka and Nishiya, then pulled a long face and threatened Hyuga, and finally patted Kageyama and Higashimine on the shoulder, telling them to continue in the same state as before.
Takeda Ittetsu examined it carefully for a while, then looked puzzled.
"It seems there aren't many differences?"
Wu Yangxi smiled and shook his head, "No, there is, but it's not out in the open, so you can't tell."
Is that so?
“Sawada is new here. Although he has a good personality and integrates quickly, we haven’t known each other for very long. Perhaps the other team members have already noticed that there’s not much difference, but he himself is still a bit reserved.”
As soon as Daichi entered the arena, he immediately pointed out any shortcomings among his teammates. Sawada Tsunayoshi seemed to have some reservations. Ukai Keishin initially assumed that he was just too shy to speak up because he wasn't very familiar with the others.
Now that so much time has passed, Sawada still hasn't said it. Even if he discovers a problem, he just goes around in circles, changing the subject in a different way, which is certainly not a bad thing.
But they are teammates. Even Kageyama, who was initially so taciturn, can now say a few more words. Sawada Tsunayoshi doesn't need to be so reserved. The situation on the field can change in an instant, and it's best to solve the problem quickly.
Mr. Takeda seemed to understand but not quite. “Teams do need time to work together. Some problems, if not addressed early, can become flashpoints. I still have a lot to learn.”
"Cough cough cough!" Wu Yangxi was taken aback by the other party's serious attitude and waved his hands repeatedly.
"That's not entirely the reason. Our Karasuno bench is much thicker than it was at the beginning, so there's no need to keep our starters on the field when we have the advantage. So letting Sawada off the field now is also a good way for him to get some rest."
"If the situation is favorable in the next round, I will allow the others to come down and rest for a while."

Author's Note: Daichi and Nishinoya are completely different kinds of seniors, right, Hinata?
