Chapter 43: Shiratorizawa vs. Qingcheng (4) There may be a situation where a person...
[Hello, young warlock, I have packed a divine artifact in my package. Please use it with caution. —Mage M. Rasmodes] (Note 1)
The farmer received a gift from the wizard!
What a magical mod! Players can actually receive letters from the mage while mining. The farmer Doudouyan then clicked on the content of the gift and found that this so-called artifact was quartz.
farmer:?
The farmer looked in the direction of the wizard. It was so strange. It was quartz.
Then he thought about it and clicked on the wizard's favorability column, and found that the wizard he had only met a few times actually gave him two red hearts of favorability, only two hearts less than Abigail, who he was very familiar with.
"Praise the Mage!" the player sighed, then put the quartz in his backpack and gave Oikawa Toru what he thought was a friendly smile.
Oikawa, who is labeled as a mage: ...
Oikawa paused and looked at Iwaizumi beside him: "Is he provoking me?"
It would be fine if he wasn't alert after Mr. Oikawa said such a cool remark, but what's the point of smiling so disgustingly?
Iwaizumi was confused by Oikawa's sudden question. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shiratorizawa's setter with a silly grin on his face, his eyes sparkling. He couldn't figure out where Oikawa had meant "provoking" and looked away with mixed feelings, "...don't be so malicious towards a child."
Oikawa slowly asked, "Xiaoyan, do you have any problem with me?"
The words "Why are you talking to Shiratorizawa" were almost written all over his face.
Iwaizumi:……
Thinking that this was the finals after all, Iwaizumi swallowed the curse words that were about to come out of his mouth and said speechlessly, "It's your turn to serve, don't waste time." The referee was watching, and sometimes he really wanted to pry open Oikawa's head to see what the other party was thinking.
Oikawa:.
No one understands Oikawa-sama!
Ikawa turned his back to everyone angrily, looking quite desolate.
Qingcheng Crowd: ...
What is he doing? A kid, Oikawa.
"One, two!" The girls in the stands holding cheering fans that had been painted with "Oikawa-no-Mikoto" shouted in unison, "Come on, Oikawa-senpai!"
At this moment, the voices of the Qingcheng cheerleaders also reached everyone's ears, "Go, go, go, Qingye Chengxi!"
Very rhythmic.
"Go, go, go to Qingcheng!"
Oikawa Toru walked to the serving position under the watchful eyes of the crowd. He closed his eyes, enjoying the cheers from the Qingcheng stands. Then he opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and tossed the ball high with his left hand. Then—
Hitting the ball like a human turret!
When he served the ball, the cheers were extremely cooperative and shouted "Go ahead", stretching out the sound, as if they were playing a performance, and Ikawa, who was hitting the ball, was the conductor of this concert.
Aoba Johsai 2:6 Shiratorizawa, the gap began to narrow.
Yamagata paused and gritted his teeth. Damn it, he had just seen the action clearly but still hesitated subconsciously. "Sorry!" Yamagata Hayato shouted, "Next ball!"
Oikawa Toru's second serve was still an incomparable and highly controlled jump serve.
The Qingcheng scoreboard was turned over again, and Qingye Chengxi scored another point.
On the third ball, the yellow-blue ball made a loud thud after hitting the baseline and then bounced out of the court.
"Really," Tendou Jue, the fifth position player, turned his head, "Stronger than last year."
Although this ball did not have the feeling of facing fear like Kenjo Shinichi's serve, it has to be said that Oikawa Toru is worthy of being the setter that Shiratorizawa has always wanted to recruit. His strength is really strong.
"Shinichi-kun," Tendo looked at Kenjo Shinichi who was on his right, "you must defeat him."
Jiancheng didn't know whether he understood what he said or not. He had a blank face and no one knew what he was thinking.

Grandstand——
"It's like a setter-serving competition." After the two players' serve game, Sawamura realized that he had been holding his breath without knowing when. After taking a deep breath, he sighed, "Qingcheng scored three consecutive points without contact. It's terrifying."
"That attack was very smooth at the beginning," Dong Fengxu said, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead. "It was scary."
Whether it is Shiratorizawa or Qingcheng, the strength of both sides is something that Karasuno dare not imagine at the moment.
Oikawa Toru's serve reduced the score to 6-4 before Yamagata, who was in excellent form, took over. Then, Shiratorizawa's first-year outside hitter scored smoothly. However, he was not angry. After seeing the ball change, he even sighed with emotion: "I thought I could get five points."
Iwaizumi couldn't stand his arrogance, "Stop showing off with your hands on your hips, go and fill in the position, we still have three points." - Taichi Kawanishi's shot just now widened the gap between Qingcheng and the score, but the sense of urgency at the beginning had disappeared.
"Xiaoyan, you're so cold." Oikawa covered his shoulder that was patted and made a face at Iwaizumi.
Iwaizumi:……
Iwaizumi: "If you're sick, go get treatment."
Can we be more serious on the field?
Hayato Yamagata of Shiratorizawa was substituted out, Eita Seni was moved to the front row, and Shisine Ohira served.
"I'll do it!" Qingcheng's deputy attacker Kaito shouted loudly. He raised the ball high, and Ikawa had been waiting in the front row. When he jumped up, he made the same jumping and spiking posture as when he scored the first goal. After attracting the attention of Seni and Kawanishi, he smiled and changed the angle directly in the air.
The commentator was so excited when he saw this scene: "Fake dunk, real pass! Oikawa's tactics are very sophisticated. Qingcheng..." his tone became higher, "he blocked it!"
Kenjo Shinichi, who was originally at the fourth position, blocked Iwaizumi's spike as if he had anticipated it. By the time Qingcheng's main attacker reacted, it was too late to change his movements. He only saw the opposing setter's fingers pressing down, making a blocking posture, and then the volleyball touched his palm and was pressed heavily on Qingcheng's court.
"Extremely quick reaction time!" Matsumoto said. "The block from setter Kenjo-san snuffed out Aoba Johsai's almost certain point!"
As Iwaizumi landed on the ground, he gritted his teeth and made an impatient "tsk".
This guy is really difficult, and—
"That's too high, isn't it?!"
Taking advantage of being in the front row, Toyama Seidō of Jozenji pointed directly at the blue-haired setter's position, his face filled with shock, "Terushima, did you see that?"
Terushima Yuuji opened his mouth wide: "As expected of a frog!"
"Your nickname is quite fitting," Erqi said, turning his head to look at the still shocked Terushima. "So it's because of your jumping ability?"
Numajiri stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Sure enough, there's no such thing as a bad nickname."
Terushima had apparently forgotten the reason for his nickname, but for some reason he still looked proud of it, puffing out his chest and saying, "Isn't that right?"
After hearing the smooth change of topic, Okutake Joji said:…
Ouyue Chengzhi had a headache: "Keep your voice down, this game is being recorded."
He didn't want to see Jo Zenji making a fuss in the video... No, he didn't want to appear in it at all. He was just worried that his juniors would cause trouble, so Okutake Joji sighed heavily again.
I hope that after I quit the club, there will be some reliable new members joining. After all, I always feel that Terushima and the others are not very reliable.
At the end of the first game, the score was 25:19, and the difference was exactly the score scored by the setter Shiratorizawa at the beginning of the game. Although such an outcome was expected, I still felt a little depressed when I saw it.
It is true that Qingcheng has never beaten Shiratorizawa, but the score difference in the finals has never reached this level.
"Don't worry about it," Ikawa glanced at the area being cleaned and said to the people of Qingcheng, "There is still a tough battle left to fight."
"It's true that Shiratorizawa's setter is very troublesome, but we can't ignore the others." After the others calmed down a little, Oikawa continued: "I believe in everyone."
He looked towards the rest area, where Coach Irihata nodded in the direction of Oikawa, then patted the back of No. 16, who had not played.
"Kyotani," Coach Irihata said, "when you're on the court, follow Oikawa's instructions completely."
We hadn't originally planned to let him play in the second game, but given the current situation, we have no choice but to do so.
"Nod if you understand," Irihata said, feeling a bit of a headache. "Other people can't read minds."
Still silent, Coach Qingcheng put his hands on his hips helplessly and waved his hand to let the person in front of him go to the team's setter. "Forget it, you go over there."
Seriously, the first graders nowadays are so disobedient...

"Eh?" Hinata had been looking at Kenjo Shinichi's position, but when the second round started, he realized something was wrong. He asked Midorikawa, who was standing next to him, curiously, pointing to the person standing at Qingcheng's No. 3 position, "Senior Midorikawa, it seems that this person wasn't there in Qingcheng's first round?"
Midorikawa looked in the direction of his finger and saw the number on his back was... 16?
It's a strange face I've never seen before.
Midorikawa hesitated, unsure if his guess was correct. "...They should be first years, right?"
"First grade?" Hinata thought for a few seconds, then slapped his head: "Isn't that the same as Kenjo-nii!"
To be honest, under normal circumstances, if the team has sufficient substitutes, freshmen should not be allowed to appear at particularly important moments, of course, unless they are outstanding. So Midorikawa was a little curious about Qingcheng's sudden substitution in the second game.
"They replaced Kaito-kun." Midorikawa took a look and continued.
Kaidou is a third-year secondary attacker at Qingcheng. Judging by his appearances so far, his skills are definitely not bad. Is it because they are particularly confident in this first-year player by substituting him at this time? Or perhaps Qingcheng has a special plan that Midorikawa is unaware of, but the second game has already begun. Honestly, overthinking it now is useless; they can only trust the starters on the court.
The whistle blew and the second game officially began.

Author's words: Note 1: When the Master's favorability reaches a certain level, there will be a scene of giving gifts, mostly quartz and purple mushrooms, and the above letter will appear
P.S. I will send out red envelopes and post to my masters when I reach chapter 50. The match with Qingcheng will be a bit long, and there will probably be one or two chapters left. In addition, the daily updates are finished, and I can write the extra update next. XD
