Chapter 148 Shiratorizawa vs. Oudai (1) Match Alert
January 7, quarterfinals.
"The third day of Spring High School... I feel like there are a lot more spectators than the previous two days." Unlike Shiratorizawa, the match between Komazaka and Fukuda Soso was the last one of the morning, so it was nice to be able to come and watch Shiratorizawa vs. Odai at this time. After finding a seat in the front, Usuri Mitsuru looked at Kiryuu who was sitting next to him and said, "Isn't it, Eight-senpai?"
Kiryu clutched the gift he was going to give to Kenjo Shinichi later. He'd actually wanted to give it to him during training camp, but never found the time. He hadn't been able to bring it up during yesterday's match, so he'd finally put it off until today. Hearing his junior's words, Kiryu nodded, "More and more people will pay attention to it as time goes on."
"We will definitely beat Shiratorizawa this time." Usuri half-raised his hand, looking serious.
Kosaka and Shiratorizawa didn't know if it was fate or something, except that they were not representing the national team, but this time Harukaka was in the same half of the group. If they won the next game against Fukuda General, it would be a repeat of their last encounter in IH. However, Harukaka naturally came here with the goal of winning.
As they spoke, the players walked out of the warm-up area onto the court for their official warm-up session. Harukaka's facility was divided into four courts for simultaneous competition. At this moment, the players from Shiratorizawa and Oudai also emerged from the passageway, each grabbing a ball from a rim pushed by the staff and beginning their warm-up session.
"Ah, it's Kenjo-kun." Usuri pointed at the blue-haired boy who appeared last and said, "Eighth Senior, do you want to say hello?"
Kenjo Shinichi seemed to have discovered someone. He stared in their direction for a while, with a look of confusion between his brows. He was probably thinking about whether he should come over.
Kiryu:……
No, even though the distance was very close, it would be a bit too embarrassing for him to greet her in public.
Uli continued: "He's looking over here!"
Kiryu:.
Just as he was debating whether to wave, another figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, stood in front of him and waved his hands vigorously: "Xinyi! Xinyi! I'm here to see you!"
Kiryu:……
Usuri was stunned for a few seconds: "It's Bokuto-senpai."
Behind Kuroo was a few people who covered their faces and dared not look up. A faint voice came from those people: "Don't look at him pretending not to know you."
But it was obvious that the jackets and uniforms had exposed their identities, and covering their faces at this moment was just deceiving themselves.
But Kiryu was silent for a while and felt that he understood them a little, because he also wanted to cover his face at this moment, but it was obvious that fate was not going to let him go at this moment, because when Kyuubi turned around, he saw Kiryu who was also here.
"Kiryu!!" He was obviously more excited. "When did you come here?"
Kiryu:……
Kiryu said simply: "Just now."
Finally, just as the game was about to start, Kuroo was dragged away by his teammates - the match against Owl Valley was the second game, and if the first game ended quickly enough, they might have to go on stage soon, so they shouldn't stay any longer at this point.
Only after Kousagi left did Kiryu relax and sigh.
Usuri looked at him, then looked around the field: "Are Hachi-senpai and Bokuto-senpai familiar with each other?"
Kiryu: “No.”
It was just a magazine shoot, and he suspected that Kyuuba was pretending to be stupid. Thinking of that strange magazine, Kiryu slowly closed his eyes.
If you don't think about it, it doesn't exist.
Kiryuhachi emptied himself.
Uli:?
Uuri was a little confused. He always felt that when Kuroo-senpai left, he took the soul of Hachi-senpai with him. Is this a good brother in some sense?
Uli was in deep thought.

At this moment on the court, Kenshin, who had finished waving to Kuroo, turned his attention to Oudai's side. Setter Sumo was making adaptive passes with his teammates, and Xinghai was still gesturing with his hands after dunking the ball.
"'A little higher...?'" His lips moved, and Kenjo Shinichi repeated what Xinghai had just said.
To be honest, this was the first time he saw Xinghai take off. Before, there were only cutscenes of a little man in the mine saying things like "Leave it to me" or "So this is the structure of quartz". But it was true that the speed was really fast.
Now it seems that he jumped so high. The farmer walked away silently, then stood in place, threw a ball by himself, then adjusted his position, passed the ball, and then stared at the trajectory for a while, and returned to his original position before Tiantong called him.
As Hirugami witnessed everything out of the corner of his eye, he smiled a little wider. Because he didn't plan to pursue a career in volleyball, he refused the spring high school training at the beginning. After Xinghai came back from there, he didn't describe the specific details, but just started to practice more silently. Occasionally, when he saw some dark blue things, he would silently reveal an expression of "what a pity". Now that he thinks about it, everything has a traceable path.
As a setter, Kenjo Shinichi is completely above standard and is very popular with attackers.
He walked over to Xinghai, who had already started to receive the first pass, and his voice remained unchanged: "Did Guang receive the ball from Jianchengjun during the training camp before he came?"
"Huh?" Xinghai was confused. When he thought of Jiancheng, the strange scene from last night would appear in his mind. He shuddered and felt a little strange. "Why are you asking this?"
But he quickly answered Hirugami's question the next second. He thought carefully for a few seconds before finally coming up with the answer, "About the same, but most of the time I'm on the same team with Meisheng."
"There aren't many situations where you can really cooperate with me." Xinghai's pass was flawless, and Shanglin, who was doing the same move, was not willing to be outdone. He shouted "quick dunk" to Nozawa, which made Xinghai look at him in confusion.
After getting the answer, Hirugami did not hide it: "Just now, Kenjo-kun watched you and Suho-senpai's cooperation and passed a ball. I felt that it was a hit that you are familiar with."
Xinghai thought about it after hearing this and probably understood what Hiruzen meant. "That's normal. Jiancheng is a genius in this area."
By observing, you can almost understand everyone's familiar points and methods, so they will organize attacks based on this tactic. As teammates, they are very reliable, but now they seem a little scary from the perspective of the opponent.
But in the final analysis, that kind of standardized pattern cannot be cracked in an instant. Volleyball is not a one-person sport. He can't cover all directions, and the others cannot be without flaws.
That moment is what we need! Xinghai is confident in this regard.
"I'm going to surprise those people soon!" Although he has appeared in IH and knows that there is a short guy in Outai who can jump very well, most people will still look down on his height when they see him for the first time. What follows is Xinghai's favorite part.
Give him a "surprised" expression! Xinghai's face showed a villain smile.
Hirugami:......
Hirugami: "Some kind of vitality is really nice."
The passing white horse inexplicably felt a cool breeze.

"The 16-to-8 match is about to begin. The two teams competing are Shiratorizawa Gakuen from Miyagi Prefecture and Odai High School from Nagano Prefecture. Both teams are strong schools."
"Ever since Coach Ailon took over, Odai High School has put a lot of effort into their blocking and serving. First-year player #6, Hirugami Yukiro, is a true standout, earning the terrifying nickname 'Immovable Hirugami,'" the commentator said with a smile. "But in contrast, Shiratorizawa's top player, Ushijima Wakari, is also an exceptional spiker. I wonder what kind of sparks the two will create."
"Besides that, it's worth mentioning that Oudai High School's main attacker is also very eye-catching. Number 5, Xinghai, is the shortest of all the main attackers in this Haru High School tournament, at only 167cm," the commentator said with a hint of sarcasm. "But from previous matches, we've learned that we shouldn't underestimate Xinghai simply because of his height."
“Otherwise, you’ll suffer a great loss.”
As the commentator's voice fell, the contestants' entry ended.
“Please give me some advice!!”
After the pre-game bow, there were instructions from the coach and encouragement from teammates before going on stage.
Supervisor Jijiang didn't intend to say much. He looked at everyone calmly and said, "I don't need you to know anything more. Block the ball, whether you guess it right or not, and make them convinced by the spike."
"You are ready."
"yes!!"
The situation on Outai was even more straightforward. Everyone gathered in a group, put their hands together, pressed down hard, and then rose up.
"Oudai! Come on!"
Both teams trotted onto the court.
The players lined up and then the whistle was blown to start the game.
At Shiratorizawa Academy, Kenjo Shinichi serves.
In the stands, besides Kozaka, Fukuda Soso was also there. After all, if they won, they would be the next team to face one of them, so at least they were mentally prepared.
Uchiyama watched for a while, then poked Bingye's waist beside him and said, "Senior, what do you think his serve will be?"
A question mark appeared above Bingye's head, "You should ask Xuecun about this."
Xuecun is the key server of Futian Comprehensive, and he knows much more about this aspect than the deputy attacker Bingye, so he had to change direction and look at another senior.
Yukimura Kiyoshi: ...
He was somewhat helpless, "You can't tell from the way Jiancheng-kun is standing."
Then an expression of "Senior seems a bit useless" appeared on his tired face.
Xuecun was silent, then twisted the junior setter's ear and said, "Don't think you can be disrespectful just because Senior Zhusha is protecting you."
tired:……
The first-year setter from Fukuda General School said "tsk" with an expressionless face.
Lei is the youngest on the field. It is said that his health was not very good before, but he has recovered with the help of modern technology. Otherwise, he would not be able to join the volleyball team. Because of this, the women's volleyball team favors him.
The more Xuecun thought about that damn baby-faced Ikemyun, the angrier he got. Bingye was just watching the show from the side. In the end, it was Captain Ikeda who pulled the two apart, saying helplessly, "We'll know soon. Don't start a fight now."
Although Xuecun didn't know what type of ball Kenjo Shinichi was planning to serve, if he wanted to score from Oudai, he would definitely not choose a floater.
Outai's main attacker, secondary attacker, and even the main player are unexpectedly good at this type of ball, so the training for floating balls is also the most done.
Even Xinghai is good at catching floating balls. He looked at Jiancheng Xinyi who was still standing motionless at the serving point.
Eight seconds are almost up, what choice will he make?
Yukimura's eyes were fixed on Shiratorizawa's serving line.
