Chapter 142: Shiratorizawa vs. Otokoma (2) Match Alert
Pause time.
"...Sure enough," Shirabu said this expressionlessly when he came off the court. Following his line of sight, he could see Kenjo Shinichi wiping his sweat. He was standing in front of Ushijima and was talking about something. When he saw Shirabu staring at him, he tilted his head and winked.
Shirabu: ...
Shirabu closed his eyes, turned back to the equally confused Kawanishi Taichi, took a deep breath, and continued what he had just unfinished.
"There's definitely something wrong, right?!"
Chuanxi understood his thoughts very well and nodded, "He was possessed."
He obviously also saw the unusual wink that Kenshiro Shinichi just gave. Although he had a handsome face, Kenshiro had never used it properly except when facing his fans, at least in the volleyball club. Sometimes when he did something stupid that shook the world, he could even hallucinate that Kenshiro was drooling. To be honest, he only felt that Kenshiro was an intelligent person during exams.
What is it like normally?
Kawanishi thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Humanoid creature."
Bai Bu unexpectedly understood his train of thought, "Robot?"
"No, there shouldn't be such a stupid robot."
"It refers to emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills." Bai Bu explained.
It's no wonder that Shirabu and Kawanishi (and perhaps also Senmi and the others who were trying hard to control their expressions to hypnotize themselves) were so shocked. Although Kenjo was a good volleyball player, his style on the court was no different from Tyrant's. Every time, you had to rely on your own understanding (and mysterious operations) to understand his tactics.
In other words, there are almost no situations where I would proactively ask others to do something or explain something.
In short, the atmosphere on Shiratorizawa's side was completely different from the one on Otokoma's side where people were worried about the libero's arm.
I'm probably completely focused on whether there's something wrong with Jiancheng. Although this is a good change for the volleyball team, after all, if the tactics are laid out, they will understand it better, but...
"That's really strange," Setami said as he walked over to them. Seeing the serious expression on his face that had been there since the start of the match, he asked, "Did anyone show up and hit him?"
"...No, right?" Kawanishi said, then he looked at Shirabu hesitantly, "...I don't think so, right?"
White cloth:.
Shirabu: "Why are you looking at me with questioning eyes?"
Kawanishi thought for a few seconds: "Because Jiancheng came from Karasuno, right? It was only after returning from Karasuno, so I feel that you should know more about it, Kenjiro."
Bai Bu was silent, a frown forming on his forehead. "If the words 'I doubt you' weren't written on your face, I would be more convinced of your words."
Hearing this, Semi turned to look at him, "Did you really not say anything?"
"Hey, Senior..."
"Guess, guess..."
"No," Shirabu sighed, "I wanted to say it, but he looked so strange at the time. Honestly, I felt like Karasuno had done something to him."
"...Tsurugi is the type who would do anything to others," Yamagata listened to them for a while before finally expressing his opinion, "Could it be that he has finally reached the legendary rebellious phase?"
“…”
Silence, awkward silence.
"Where does someone go through a rebellious phase and suddenly become smart through interpersonal interactions?"
Senmi questioned.
Shirabu: "To be honest, there's nothing wrong with that. He even gave me an iced Coke the day before yesterday, and now you're just putting it on someone else's face."
"No," Kawanishi interjected, "Giving someone a normal gift is weird."
Think about what Jiancheng had given him before: strange flowers, various fruits and vegetables, small balls of garbage taken out of pockets (the only one who suffered the most was the white cloth), and pickles in a magical jar... Coke suddenly became normal.
But before they had time to continue analyzing, the machine sounded the end of the timeout. Several people looked at each other, gave up the idea of continuing to talk, and returned to the court.
Senami and Kawanishi are temporarily on the bench due to round reasons.

"The players are back on court," commentator Sano exclaimed. "Kenjo-san's serve seems to have improved since his days at IH. Besides his accurate line drives, his power this time was also astonishing. He's undoubtedly the best server."
"Kenshiro's serve scoring rate is among the highest in high school competitions, having reached this level in just his first year. He's truly worthy of being one of this year's Monthly Volleyball's 'Three Great Setters.' I'm sure it won't just be Nekoma who's facing this powerful serve, but other teams watching from the sidelines will also find it difficult," another commentator said.
"Not only that, judging by the current situation, Kenshiro-san has also adjusted his serve. As Shiratorizawa's main setter, Kenshiro is known for his mastery of all types of serves. However, up until now, including the one that Otokoma blocked, all of his serves were jump serves. Is this also Shiratorizawa's strategy today? Let's get our focus back on the court."
The commentary's voice was a bit distorted as it came through the electronic equipment. The director timely focused the camera on the face of Kenjo Shinichi who had moved to the third position. He was moving his wrists and his facial expression was wrong, but one could tell he was concentrating.
In the hotel, Xinghai was lying on the bed watching the live broadcast. Their tactical meeting would not start for a while, so now was a rare free time. He frowned when he heard the "three major setters", straightened up and looked at Hirugami: "What kind of ranking is this?"
Hirugami thought for a moment. "There was a magazine interview with three setters before, and then fans said they were the top three setters in high schools right now. For example, Iizuna was called a 'terrifyingly standard player,' Miya Yu seemed to be praising his unpredictable style, and Kenjo was praised for his terrifying court control. That's about it. I don't remember the specifics."
After a while, he added, "Besides this, there are three main attackers in the country. Do you want to hear about it?"
Xinghai snorted and lay back down, "No."
The tone was firm.
Hirugami: "Is it because you know you don't exist?"
Xinghai wasn't provoked by his provocation. He remained calm, his eyes fixed on the screen. "It will happen in the future."
At this time, it was time to serve and the whistle sounded.
Otoko Yamamoto serves.
"A good serve—!"
"Come on, come on Yamamoto——"
Putting aside the cheerleaders who were cheering hard, although Yamamoto Taketo's height was not outstanding among many main attackers, from the current information, the opponent's serving power could not be ignored. At this moment, he took a deep breath and tossed the ball with his left hand.
Focus a little.
His arm was like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, cutting through the air and hitting the volleyball hard.
"I'll do it!" Yamagata squatted sideways and caught the volleyball. After he caught the ball, the libero gritted his teeth and sighed subconsciously, "It's so heavy!"
"Nice pass!"
The bench shouted.
The volleyball flew high, and after judging the landing point, Jiancheng Xinyi began to adjust his position, apparently preparing to pass the ball.
Except for the setter, the rest of Shiratorizawa also started to move.
But unexpectedly, the next second the ball had already hit the ground, and after a brief silence, the sound of the score being announced and the cheers of the audience rang out at the same time.
"Shiratorizawa! Shiratorizawa! Shiratorizawa!"
"Invincible Shiratorizawa! Victory over Shiratorizawa in every battle!"
"It was a second goal!" The commentator was clearly stunned by the first goal scored after the timeout, his tone tinged with excitement. "Shiratorizawa's setter, Kenjo, flicked the ball with everyone's attention fixed on Ushijima, who was jumping in the back row. By the time Nekoma's blocker closed in, the ball had already landed."
[“Victory is just around the corner—!”]
"Good shot, Shinichi-kun."
Tiantong looked at Jiancheng, who still had a calm expression, and praised him, "Is this what you just said to Ruoli?"
Obviously he also paid attention to what happened during the timeout.
Who knew that the blue-haired boy tilted his head, then showed a thoughtful expression, and finally pursed his lips and said, "No."
Tiantong's smile froze at the corners of his mouth, and a question mark appeared above his head: "Huh?"
Did he hear wrongly or what?
Finally, he turned his head to look at Niu Dao and found that the other person's face was also confused. His eyes wandered back and forth between Jiancheng and his palm. Finally, he nodded, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Tendo:……
Tendou suddenly turned around and looked at Kenjo Shinichi, "What did you say, Shinichi-kun?"
Kenjo Shinichi's honest character is also well maintained.
"I told Ushijima to jump with 200 percent effort."
He said.
He thought for a moment, as if to prove himself, and then added, "Because the ball will be in his hands."
Tendo:……
Tendo:?
However, Kenjo Shinichi continued to add details: "But just now, everyone was looking at Ushijima and no one was looking at me, so I chose the second ball."
"Seba and Grind seemed to notice," he continued, "but it was too late."
Tendo:……
Tiantong's expression was dull, and it looked like he hadn't expected this to be the reason: "So that's how it is."
Jian Cheng nodded: "Sure enough, I scored."
A closer look revealed that although his expression wasn't obvious he seemed to be somewhat happy, and some small cartoon flowers began to appear around him.
Tendo:……
The Otokoma and Shiratorizawa people heard what Kenjo Shinichi was saying: ...
No, what on earth is this guy talking about?
Cheating a cow island?
The remaining people's eyes slowly moved from Jiancheng's face to Niudao's face as if stuck.
It's so weird.
Although I was scored, I didn't feel very angry for some reason, or maybe my anger was gone due to the shock.
Kuroo looked at Kenjo through the net and said with a little more seriousness, "Shinichi-kun."
Kenjo Shinichi looked at him in confusion:?
Kuroo: "If you really like spiking, you can come to Nekoma. We welcome you."
“…”
This person is also amazing. He recruited people at the Spring Festival Gala.
On the bench, Senmi suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked at Kuroo who was talking to Kenjo and said in a strange tone, "I remember now. This is the guy who poached you before."
Before Yamagata could answer, he added another sentence.
"That cockscomb."
“……?”

The author has something to say: I’m sorry, hahaha, I was laughing when I wrote “cheating a cow island”, I don’t know if anyone understands my funny point (kneel down)
I will give out bonuses to the first ten chapters of this chapter. I may update it tomorrow (I hope I can finish it). Actually, I want to finish it this month (covering my face with horror) (screaming)
