Chapter 130 Earth Online's Strange Settings "Say...
"Honestly, I'm quite surprised." After watching the game again, Coach Huoshao raised his eyebrows slightly. "Jiancheng-kun's first pass is very good. Both his underhand and overhand catches are good."
Yun Quetian laughed twice. "You should have known it during the IH match. His serve and receive awareness is spot on."
Coach Huoshao looked a little hesitant, his gaze turning to the team members who had already started packing. Among them was the blue-haired boy, carrying his backpack, waiting to leave with his senior from the same school. "I thought he would be a little dissatisfied."
Training a setter takes the longest time. Most top setters start focusing on volleyball awareness in elementary school or even earlier. However, based on the information they have learned so far, Kenjo Shinichi seems to have been sent abroad to systematically study volleyball in junior high school. Judging from this range, he is indeed a rare talent.
For the national team, the more talents like this, the better, so that they can truly debut in the world. However, judging from his performance in IH, Coach Huoshao thought for a moment, "After all, Kenshiro-kun looks like a child who is not very obedient to discipline. I thought he would be a different kind," Huoshao Kotaro paused before continuing.
It's often called a genius' quirk, like Sakuhaya of Ichidani Mountain or Kurosabu of Owl Valley. They all have personality traits that are more or less driven by their likes and dislikes. Judging from previous matches, Kenjo-kun seemed to have a strange tendency to be controlling on the volleyball court, or perhaps, "...the dictatorial type." But today's performance showed that wasn't the case at all.
But judging from today's experience as a free man, Jiancheng Xinyi also... He thought about it, his expression a little strange, "He is surprisingly obedient to other people's instructions."
It should be comfortable to play on the same team with him, but he always felt a little weird, as the scene from the previous game kept replaying in his mind.
The equipment used by the Volleyball Association is, of course, the most advanced technology currently available in the sport. Each venue is equipped with real-scene photography. To facilitate analysis of the players' conditions, the screens used for broadcasts will have a 7-9 second delay, allowing for a clearer view of the players' full-body movements. While watching the game, it may not seem strange, but once you review it in your mind, some small movements that would be overlooked in a short period of time will be infinitely magnified.
Huo Shao thought about it, not sure if he had seen it wrong: "Sure enough, it's still a bit strange."
Yun Quetian also noticed this, of course. He patted his fellow coach Huo Shao's shoulder, his brows relaxed, and asked, "What else did you notice?"
The national youth team coach in front of him hesitated a bit, but his professionalism made him subconsciously analyze, "Is Jiancheng-kun... directing the setter?"
As a free man.
However, Huoshao Kotaro is just a hypothesis, after all, this angle sounds a bit shocking.
Coach Hibari did not say anything. Tachibana Ukyo had already lined up everyone and was taking them to their accommodation to put their things. After all, it was just a morning "greeting event" and the real event would not start until the afternoon. After saying hello to Hibari and Huoshao, the team left the venue where they had just experienced a not-so-formal competition in a grand manner. The rest of the staff, including volunteers, had almost left as well, and the atmosphere was still silent.
Huo Shao Hutaro began to doubt his own guess. He laughed awkwardly, "Sure enough, am I thinking too much?"
“…”
Still silence.
The next second, the silent atmosphere was interrupted by Yun Que Tian Bui. The national team coach had a sullen face, and it was impossible to tell what kind of storm was surging in his heart, but his eyes were a little excited.
"No," Yun Quetian said, "You are right. Jian Chengjun is indeed controlling the angle of the first pass, judging the landing point, and making adjustments."
Finally he reached his ideal setter range, and it was achieved by Ye Jiu who served as the "setter".
It's like someone playing chess behind the scenes, quietly manipulating troops and finally capturing the last king.
"check mate"
Checkmate your opponent.
Rather than saying that he was acting as a libero, it would be better to say that he once again achieved the not-so-perfect "double setter" function. It seemed that their move to change positions had not yet taken effect on Jiancheng Jun, as he had already been adjusted to the most suitable mode by himself.
No wonder I always felt like they had activated another "Shiratorizawa" during the game just now.
Perhaps this change was caused unconsciously, but the feeling of secret control still made people surprised. In the afternoon, Jiancheng Jun really couldn't continue to serve as a free man, otherwise their training goals would be difficult to achieve.
A few days can change a person's consciousness, but habits are deeply ingrained. Yun Quetian smiled and said, "Let Jian Chengjun play the attacker's position in the afternoon."
Coach Huoshao sighed, "Alright."
The two did not continue to discuss this issue, but instead prepared the next training plan.
However, Coach Yun Quetian still felt a little regretful. Jian Chengjun's setter talent was too outstanding. Otherwise, based on his receiving and serving skills, the "double libero" position would actually be a good choice. (Note 1)
But that would be a bit of a waste of talent, so I finally buried this idea deep in my heart.

On the other hand, the farmer is staying with Ushijima this time. They live in a double room so that the training camp will not be too stressful for them. Although single accommodation is not available, the double room is not too small.
After putting our things away, we were scheduled to go to the cafeteria to eat.
I changed out of my training clothes because the weather was getting colder, so I replaced all my abstract short-sleeved shirts with hoodies.
But the colors are still hard to describe. In addition to the clothes that Ikawa had previously ridiculed as carrots, the farmer also brought a striped one that looked like a frost melon, a clown vest with a hat on the back, and a long-sleeved frog suit - to match his destined frog hat. When the farmer was unable to make a decision, Abi's earnest words "get along well with everyone" appeared in his mind again.
The farmer's hand trembled and he chose the one that looked like a frost melon.
I decided to wait a while and then go find Frost Melon.
Although Ushijima didn't quite understand his inexplicable persistence, he thought about what Tendou had said before and decided to cooperate.
Furthermore, Ohira and Yamagata were a little worried about him. To be honest, all the members of Shiratorizawa were a little worried. After all, neither Kenjo nor Ushijima were the type to watch their way through the crowd - not to mention that they had pieced together his daily training routine from Ushijima's fragmentary words in their first year.
What kind of canteen needs to make eight turns?
I must have taken the wrong turn again!
Finally, Seten made the final decision, "Roli, you should stay with Kenjo. You'll have someone to keep you company if you get lost."
Anyway, he now watched Kenjo Shinichi put on his clothes and then squatted next to the door next door.
Ushijima: ...
Ushijima took a photo and sent it to others.
The caption is very short "Get ready to eat"
Others who received the message:?
Why does Jiancheng have to squat in the corridor during meals?
But after taking the photo, Ushijima put his phone away, stood aside and waited silently, no longer caring about the waves caused by his photo in the group.

Xinghai, whom Jiancheng Xinyi was looking forward to, happened to live next door to them. The reason was that he didn't want to live with Baiba Meisheng - in Xinghai's own words:
"It would be hard to breathe if I lived with a big, stupid guy like that."
When Yejiu and Ichiro asked about it, Xinghai thought about it and replied that the three of them shared a four-person room because it was more spacious.
Ichiro thought for a few seconds, not knowing what he remembered, and frowned: "Indeed."
The two men reached a consensus and began to shake hands.
Ye Jiu was completely confused.
After I finished cleaning up and opened the door, I saw Kenjo Shinichi squatting on the ground.
Three people: ...
In a way, it's pretty cool to see Jiancheng from a bird's-eye view, since normally you can only see this guy's chin.
Xinghai: ...
Xinghai: "What are you doing here?"
Xinghai Guanglai, male, a first-year student at Outai High School, once again encountered something that he could not understand.
By the way, the last time was during my time at IH.
*
"...Anyway, that's how it is."
After giving a brief explanation, Yejiu started eating the lunch he had just taken.
Sitting opposite him was Iikawa. During the competition, the two of them had become able to talk to each other. At the moment, he was a little confused and summarized Ye Jiu's words in a concise manner.
"You mean, Shinichi-kun got punched in the stomach because he wore Hoshimi's pain clothes?"
"Almost." Ye Jiu said with a sincere expression, "But to be honest, I don't quite understand it either."
Xinghai's expressionless action of punching Jiancheng in the stomach was too natural, even a bit like a cutscene from some strange game.
The trigger word is something like "frost melon".
Oikawa:…
Kenjo Shinichi was sitting at the table next to them. Besides Ushijima who was eating seriously, there was also Ichiro who was trying to hold back his laughter and Xinghai who had his arms crossed and a very dark face.
Oikawa turned his head, Oikawa looked back.
From his brief observation, Ikawa didn't find any similarities between Kenjo Shinichi's abstract clothes and Xinghai.
Oikawa:…
How come Jiancheng started getting into trouble just one day, no, half a day after arriving?
At this time, Ye Jiu swallowed the broccoli in one gulp, and after chewing it, he sighed: "It feels like the field of grinding."
Games or something.
Oikawa: "Grinding?"
"Ah, it's our setter, and he's friends with Kenjo-kun."
Oikawa:…
Oikawa was silent for a few seconds, and finally picked up the chopsticks silently.
Let’s have lunch.
Oikawa thought, otherwise how could he hear words like "Shinichi-kun's friend", which is almost impossible to appear in reality.

Tokyo, Otokoma.
“…A-choo!”
While doing physical training and jogging around the venue, I suddenly sneezed.
Yamamoto beside him was a little worried. "...Are you okay, Momo? Did you catch a cold?"
"It shouldn't be." Mo Mo shrank his neck, and finally felt a little unsure. He hesitated for a few seconds: "...It's a bit like that..."
"Is it the setting in Earth Online where people sneeze when their names are mentioned?"
He said slowly.
Yamamoto:?

Author's Note: Note 1: Two liberos, one mainly receives serves, the other mainly receives first passes (responsible for the court) (In fact, this setting will probably be used in a volleyball chapter in the next book)
