Chapter 108: I'm sleepy and I'm giving you a pillow. Joja Corp., Farmer...
JojaCorp, where the farmer had previously worked illegally. Honestly, he hadn't expected to run into anyone from JojaCorp here... No, then again, did they recognize him?
A male farmer, a first-year student at Shiratorizawa High School, was caught in a strange state of mind.
Jiancheng Xinyi would be very focused when he was marking someone, but he himself was not aware of this. He pursed his lips and said nothing. Even his organization of the offense relied on the tacit understanding he had developed with others during the game. Coach Jiujiang immediately called a timeout.
Although it was a practice match, it was not a good idea to allow the team's setter to act recklessly like this, even if they had just scored a point, even though their number one server today was Shirabu.
"Fool."
When leaving the court, Baibu rolled his eyes slightly. He was standing in the back row and couldn't see Jiancheng's expression, but he knew that judging from the current situation, the opponent must have made another stupid move. It was a pity that he still thought that the back pass just now was great.
Gritting their teeth, they stood around Coach Jiujiang, waiting for his instructions.
The old man looked in good spirits, though his frown was a bit intimidating. After glancing at everyone, he returned his attention to Kenjo Shinichi. "If you want to sleep, go home," he said in a voice that wasn't loud but clear enough. "Do you think the volleyball court is your bed?"
Ah, thought the farmer, here it comes, Lewis's sermon.
He listened skillfully in one ear and out the other, and hummed twice, seeming to be well-behaved.
Shiratorizawa Shu: ...
You're not listening at all!
Kaji Uzumaki's face sank as he finally decided to replace Kenjo with Senmi. He then sent the idiot setter over to Ichizan's position. "Go over there and have a good look before you come back."
Senmi: ...Isn't this just standing in the corner as punishment?
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Kenjo Shinichi's expression and found that this person accepted it well. He was even in the mood to take a small plastic stool from Coach Saito and swagger to Jingtashan's position in full view of everyone. Then he sat down calmly next to Coach Fujiwara and Assistant Coach Ukyo, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at the coach who was said to be Ushijima's father.
After witnessing his actions, Senmi fell silent.
Coach Jiujiang's expression turned red and blue, and he finally took a deep breath and told them to continue the game and not focus on the fool - he actually used the word fool.
Is this the end of Kenshiro Shinichi's treatment? Semi thought to himself, and looked at Shirabu. They both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Kenshiro, who was the center of attention, sat on the bench with his knees bent, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Those who didn't know would think that he went to Jingta Mountain for exchange instead of being punished by the coach.
Really good attitude.

Did Morris know him?
The farmer stared at Morris, who was marked as Kong Jing Chong, for a while and found that the other party did not seem to notice him. He was just talking naturally to the coach in front of him, occasionally saying a few words about his views on the situation and the training plan for the shortage of members - every word revealed professionalism.
farmer:……
He still found it strange.
Shouldn't I come over and sell him membership? Or should I poke him?
The farmer approached stealthily and tugged at the other man's shirt.
Noticing his actions, Tachibana Ukyo coughed violently twice, causing Coach Fujiwara, whose eyes were still on the field, to look at him in confusion.
Coach Kong Jing laughed out loud, "It's easy to catch a cold with the recent change of seasons."
Ukyo:......
Wait, don't you realize someone is pulling your clothes, Mr. Sora?
Following his gaze, Sorai Takashi discovered Kenjo Shinichi, who was crouching over. He then revealed a look of understanding and gave a brilliant smile: "It's been a long time since we last met, Kenjo-kun!"
The Jingtashan coach duo: So you know each other?
Wait a minute, they noticed the same strange expression on the setter Shiratorizawa’s face, and they suddenly felt powerless… Jiancheng, what are you shocked about again?
Sorai then explained, "I was a coach at Joja for a while, but at that time, Kenjo-kun was still on the youth team. We only met once, and I didn't expect you to still remember me."
To be honest, he was a little surprised to see Kenjo Shinichi in Shiratorizawa at first. After all, judging from his previous performance, a club like JOJA would not let him go. He later changed jobs because of his disagreement with the club's philosophy - money is the most important thing, but they completely disregard the players themselves. However, some people buy into this. JOJA does do better than his current team in terms of commercial needs, but this does not mean that he agrees with JOJA's purpose.
Then, Sora gave a thumbs-up. "You look much happier than before, Kenjo-kun. That's a very good sign." After thinking for a moment, the experienced coach nodded. "Volleyball should be played with love!"
farmer:……
The farmer wanted to call Mr. Qi.
Where did this setting come from? No, is Joja originally a volleyball club here? The farmer's fadeaway strategy—he's so awesome!
"...What's that expression on Jiancheng's face?"
After being substituted in by Coach Washi Takumi, Senmi's attention was highly focused on Jingta Mountain. After seeing the expression on Kenshiro Shinichi's face, he was obviously stunned for a moment before speaking hesitantly.
Upon hearing this, Tiantong glanced towards Jingta Mountain and hesitated: "Maybe he is happy?"
——To be honest, he seems a little too proud. Could it be that the coach invited by the other team praised him?
Then he denied his guess. After all, based on his understanding of Jiancheng, he would never get carried away by a compliment... To be honest, his expression would only change slightly when he was playing volleyball. During normal times (except when he was deliberately imitating), Jiancheng looked like a daydreaming fool most of the time.
If all the impossible are eliminated, there is only one correct answer left. Semi suddenly sighed, thinking that this guy must be secretly giving people nicknames.
But no matter how worried we are about that side, the most important thing right now is to finish this game first.

"The rhythm is messed up." After finishing the conversation, the focus shifted back to the court. Coach Fujiwara frowned after taking a look and said, Iizuna obviously wanted to make a fast break just now, but Igarashi in the front row didn't keep up. Sakuhaya managed to spike the ball, but the angle was too straight and it was easily blocked by Shiratorizawa's front row block. If it weren't for Gomori's quick eyes and hands to save it, Shiratorizawa's serve would have continued.
He glanced at the chestnut-haired setter who moved to the second position and thought that Shiratorizawa did have a lot of good kids.
I originally thought that Shiratorizawa would lose stability after replacing Kenjo Shinichi, but the opponent quickly adjusted his position and began to concentrate his passing power on Ushijima. This style of play was quite similar to the previous style in the short term, but on second thought, Shiratorizawa was the surprise weapon tactic this year, and the previous style was consistent with this style of play, reducing Ushijima's receptions and increasing his spikes.
Sometimes it is easy to disrupt the opponent by doing this, but he paused. In his peripheral vision, the blue-haired boy was sitting seriously, his eyes fixed on the court, looking like a sword drawn from its sheath, extremely sharp.
He smiled and silently finished what he hadn't finished thinking.
However, the team with Kenjo Shinichi is more like a strong team that can really reach the top. Once the tactics are adjusted, Shiratorizawa will be really difficult to deal with.
As a Tokyo powerhouse, Ichidani's ability to adapt to the competition is certainly not to be underestimated. Although he was initially outscored by Shiratorizawa, he later clearly figured out the game. Yaotome and Matsumoto coordinated their blocks to block the diagonal attack, while Komori received the ball from behind and passed it to Iizuna, who then adjusted...
The scores soon became equal, and the situation became a little tense.
While Xiaogu was warming up and observing, Muye's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his eyes were slightly narrowed. "Even the practice match seems difficult."
Even private training is at this level, not to mention the official matches with spectators. No matter which team you play against, you will feel suffocated as if you are being entangled by a python.
Kuroo was squatting on the floor with an unchanged expression on his face. This second-year ace of Owl Valley actually had the sharpness of a wild beast when he was not smiling. He put his hands on his legs, suddenly stood up, frowned and clenched his fists, his expression full of forbearance.
When Xiao Jian came closer, he shouted, "I really want to play!"
To express his desire, Kuroo raised one hand, looking like an elementary school student from somewhere, "Whether it's Shiratorizawa or Ichidani Mountain, I really want to fight!"
Because the noise was so loud, people around him were looking at him, and other people on the field were also looking at him.
Xiao Jian: ...
Xiaomenmian has no expression.
It’s been a long time since I felt this socially dead.
Fortunately, the door was pushed open when his toes touched the ground, and Akaashi arrived late, with Coach Anlu standing in front of him - he went to pick him up after receiving the text message. After all, Shiratorizawa was an unfamiliar place for them.
Seeing that Kyuuba was maintaining strange movements, while Komi, who was standing next to him, had an expression of "being saved", and then seeing Shiratorizawa and Ichizan playing in the center, Akaashi thought quickly and came to a conclusion - was he being negative because he didn't play?
However, as he glanced over, he also noticed Kenjo Shinichi sitting on the bench on Jingta Mountain.
Is that Shiratorizawa's setter...? Why is he over at Jingda Mountain?
After walking into the Owl Valley, he quickly pieced together the conclusion from the fragmentary words of his predecessors. It turned out that he was punished by the Eagle Craftsman Supervisor.
This way, it would be easy to resolve Kuroo-senpai's negative state. After changing his clothes, Akaashi smiled slightly, "Wouldn't it be possible to have a showdown with Kenjo-kun in the second match?"
He pointed in the direction of Kenjo Shinichi, "Kenjo-kun didn't play in the first game either."
Although he was forced, it did not prevent Akagi from using Kenjo Shinichi as bait.
Kuroo's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately put his hands on his hips and became more energetic, "You're right, Akaashi! Let's wait for the second game to decide the winner!"
No, wait, why would a spiker like you compete with a setter? But I really cheered up.
Everyone in Xiaogu looked at the first-year setter with admiration.
Too strong, Akaashi.
Akaashi gave a thumbs up to the other seniors behind Kuroo, and also thanked Kenjo Shinichi who was punished.
It’s really a relief when someone gives you a pillow when you feel sleepy.
