Chapter 45: Shiratorizawa vs. Qingcheng (6) (80 Lei Jiachang) ...
"I don't know what's going on," Hinata pursed her lips, "but I get the feeling the King isn't looking too happy."
The current situation on the field is 25:23. Qingye Chengxi lost the second game with a narrow difference of 2 points. The format of the final round of the preliminaries is five games and three wins. This means that Qingcheng will be eliminated directly if they lose one more game.
Midorikawa hummed, then began explaining his understanding to Hinata, "Because Shiratorizawa's victory in the first two games was almost a sure thing, they probably brought that freshman in to bolster their offense. Actually, their thinking wasn't wrong."
The third game begins.
Midorikawa paused and continued, "But the only thing Qingcheng overlooked is that our defensive capabilities are not weak." It's just that Shiratorizawa's offensive capabilities are so outstanding that it's easy for everyone to forget this.
Whether it was the outside hitters Kawanishi and Tendo who were responsible for blocking, or the libero Yamagata, they had almost reached the limit of their positions on the court, not to mention that Kenjo would jump out from time to time to join the blocking - the opponent had already shown amazing jumping ability when Shiratorizawa Ibu was testing his reach.
Another thing is the depth of Shiratorizawa's bench. None of the third-year players have resigned, so even if someone gets injured, they have someone to fill in. Moreover, some of the third-year seniors have even received invitations from the V2 Alliance and are considering it.
If this match could be compared to something else, Midorikawa thought about it and thought it was like Shiratorizawa taking turns fishing with top-quality bait, while Qingcheng had already used up all the bait. Qingcheng was quite strong, even the strongest in Miyagi Prefecture, but they were facing an upgraded Shiratorizawa, a peregrine falcon soaring high in the sky hunting a kingfisher flying low.
——Killed with one blow.
"Volleyball is a team sport," Midorikawa said, his eyes fixed on the court. "Even if Jiancheng wins, it's inseparable from the other teammates."
In fact, to put it another way, in addition to the excellent skills of the setters themselves, another factor that plays a decisive role in the game between the two setters on the chessboard is the ability of the soldiers below. The current situation is that Shiratorizawa has the upper hand over Qingcheng.
Hinata was still confused, "Does this mean that the king is in a very bad situation?"
Midorikawa: "...That's about right." So after he said so much, Hinata just summed it up with this one sentence. Midorikawa felt a little tired.
Of course, there is one last reason——
"Qingcheng's stamina is starting to decline," Sugawara said, looking at the Qingcheng players panting heavily on the field. The corners of his mouth twitched, "I finally understand why Jiancheng always passes the ball to the attackers in the back row."
"Ah," Sawamura clasped his hands in front of his chest, "Looks so tiring."
The plan that the blue-haired setter had prepared from the beginning finally surfaced at the last moment, just like a long-dormant venomous snake finally baring its fangs at the prey that had been observed for a long time.
At this time, Kajitsu Ushitsugi began to use the opportunity to make substitutions. Except for Shirabu who came on later and the physical monsters Ushijima and Kenjo, the other three were replaced by third-year players.
Ohira and Kawanishi breathed a sigh of relief almost simultaneously when they left the field. Compared to Tendo, who still had the energy to greet the fans, they seemed less enthusiastic. Seto promptly handed them energy drinks to replenish their energy. "Thank you for your hard work."
Playing with Jiancheng in a match had no real benefit other than not having to use your brain. The end result of every match like this was staring blankly at the opposing team. Senmi Eita glanced at the sweat-soaked players and handed them towels, grumbling, "We're being used like this."
However, it can also be seen that Qingcheng is very powerful. In previous competitions, there has never been such an opportunity that is worth Jiancheng's exhaustion.
The score on the field has reached 19:14.
Iwaizumi gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on the opponent. "Five points to go, and it just so happens that it's his turn to serve."
Jiancheng Xinyi was already standing at the serving point. Compared with the embarrassed Qingcheng people, he was in extremely good condition. He even had the mood to tilt his head and give this side an ambiguous smile.
Bursts of screams rang out from the sidelines.
My ears were filled with words like "Mr. Shinichi" and "So handsome", which made no one except the person himself happy.
Hanamaki, who saw this scene, said: ...
Hanamaki tilted his head to look at Matsukawa, "Do you think we can go put this guy in the sack after the game?"
Even when they were so exhausted, this idiot was still trying to act cool? Compared to Kenjo Shinichi, even the usually unremarkable Oikawa seemed incredibly reliable.
Matsukawa:……
Matsukawa: "Hitting people is against the law." Although he also wanted to do so.
——The result of the game was a big score of 3:0. Oikawa glanced in the direction of Shiratorizawa and then tutted.
"Next time," he said without a smile on his face, "I will definitely win."
If he didn't have to attend the award ceremony later, he would have left long ago. Oikawa felt like vomiting when he saw that idiot's face.
Iwaizumi: "...whatever you want."
I always feel like this kind of scene will happen again in the spring, and I feel a little physically uncomfortable.
Oikawa frowned, "I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling." His right eyelid began to twitch.
Iwaizumi glanced behind him, "Here comes the emetic."
"What do you mean by vomiting..." Oikawa turned around in confusion, and then saw the blue-haired setter wearing Shiratorizawa's sportswear going deep into Qingcheng alone. The people around him, including Coach Irihata, were staring at their position.
Oikawa:…
Oikawa was terrified by the stare: "Is there something wrong, Shinichi-kun?" To be honest, he really didn't want to pay attention to him, but Kenjo Shinichi didn't do anything bad - if defeating his own team didn't count.
"Fa..." Shiratorizawa No. 9 started, then seemed to remember something, paused for a second, and then smoothly changed the address, "Tetsu-kun."
Oikawa:?
Watariki and Hanamaki, who were watching, whispered, "...So familiar."
Songchuan nodded: "I agree."
Iwaizumi crossed his arms and looked at this and that leisurely.
Before Ikawa could fully react, the next second Kenshin in front of him rummaged through his pockets, finally took out the milk bread that he often ate, and stuffed it into his hand.
Oikawa blurted out, "Ah, this is filled with powerful second-pass energy. It will be of great help to my research. Thank you very much!" (Note 1)
Onlookers: ...
Oikawa himself:…
Iwaizumi's expression of watching the fun froze on his face. How come he never knew that Oikawa was a chuunibyou? What was that weird beginning?
The fake smile that Oikawa Toru maintained on his face completely collapsed, "Wait, no, I just lost control! It's not what you think, Xiaoyan."
Iwaizumi stepped back a few steps to give the two setters some space, "You guys continue."
"No, Xiaoyan, wait?"
Watching Iwaizumi Ichi and the others huddled together, Toru Oikawa fell silent as he looked at the empty surroundings that seemed like a vacuum.
Jian Cheng in front of him seemed unable to understand, tilting his head to look at him: "Che Jun?"
Oikawa:.
No matter who comes to save him, humans and Paramecium cannot communicate!
In the end, Senmi Eita couldn't bear it anymore and came over, bowing and apologizing while dragging away his own setter who was still confused.
At that moment, Toru Oikawa even felt that there was an angel's light shining behind Seni Eita. There are actually good people in Shiratorizawa!
When he turned around with emotion, he found that the expressions on his teammates' faces when they looked at him had completely changed.
Oikawa Toru: ...
Oikawa tried to smile and held out his hand: "Wait, it's not you who's wrong! Listen to me first, it's all that Jiancheng's fault!"
Silence, terrible silence.
Finally, Hanamaki stepped forward and patted Oikawa's shoulder with an understanding look in his eyes. "It's okay, Oikawa," he said sympathetically. "Life is short."
Oikawa:.
This is not the kind of strange comfort he wants!
The sad feeling that was originally there with reluctance disappeared completely in the chaotic scene, and what arose in turn was the devastation of the loss of his handsome image.

The farmer, whose spellcasting was inexplicably interrupted, said:
Collar, collar, I can’t breathe.
But something more important was calling him, so the farmer tried to struggle: “Wait Abi, I haven’t got the pepper seeds yet!”
He had just given the mage a Void Essence and hadn't had time to talk to Chili!
Could it be that Abigail's jealousy had come early?! The farmer was stunned.
No, there's no romance section in this mod. Everyone has a ten-star friendship rating, so how could jealousy arise? The farmer suspected Abigail had a bug, so he tapped her head and said sternly, "Is it broken?"
Senmi Eita: ...
Just as they had reached Shiratorizawa's location, Senmi Eita reluctantly let go of the other person and said, "Respect your seniors once in a while."
Farmer Doudouyan.
Farmer: "Abi-senpai...?"
Senmi: ...
Senmi: "That's not the kind of respect!"
Moreover, this kid actually showed an expression of "really hard to please". Senmi Eita thought to himself, this is a junior, this is a junior...
The farmer then thought of Lewis's purple shorts he had obtained and began to rummage through his backpack again. Senmi Eita's right eyelid began to twitch again, "What are you doing...?"
Jiancheng said nothing, but took out a pair of Shiratorizawa sweatpants with the supervisor's name written on them.
Senmi: ...
Senmi Eita opened and closed his eyes.
The second-year setter thought his eyes were blurry. Otherwise, how could he see Jiancheng holding the coach's pants?
But it was obvious that the nightmare in front of him had not disappeared yet, and had even just begun, because Kenjo Shinichi rushed to the side of the eagle master Kaji with the pants.
"Lewis!" Jian Cheng was still shouting, "I have completed your mission!"
This time it wasn't just Senmi, the rest of the team members all started doing the same thing - covering their faces.
No! They don’t know this shameful guy!
...Later on, when Jiancheng went to receive the award, he had a big bump on his head (hit by the coach).
The IH qualifiers are over.

Author's Note: Note 1: This is what the mage would say when receiving Purple Mushroom, Void Essence, Sun Essence, Purple Sea Cucumber (their favorite gift), except that the secondary energy is replaced with arcane energy.
ps: Because I feel that the game is too long, I have simplified the third game here.
There should be more tonight, I’m writing, I’m writing (kneeling)
