Chereads / The Scarlet-Eyed Setter / Chapter 6 - Chapter 5: First day

Chapter 6 - Chapter 5: First day

I walked through the gates of Chidoriyama and there were students everywhere advertising for clubs. I look around and spot the volleyball club. As I walk over with Noya, a shadow sprints by knocking over Noya.

"What the hell!" Noya shouted at the man rubbing his head.

"Watch were your going shorty," the man said. When I take a look at him he's a tall guy for middle school, about 5'10, he had brown hair and blue eyes. After he said his piece he walked away.

"What did you sa-" I cut Noya off.

"Don't start a fight on the first day, we need to make a good impression on the team." I said ending the conversation

"Hmph I'll mess him up next time I see him," Noya said bitterly. I roll my eyes. Don't get me wrong I'm not against fighting, but I don't want to miss my chance at playing.

When we reach the sign ups we see the guy again. Apparently he also plays volleyball. He finished signing up and turned to see us again.

"What you want to start something," he said glaring at us.

"Oy watch your words were just signing up." I said glaring back. When he heard me he turned and saw my eyes. He took a step back and looked shocked. This is not the first time this has happened, my eyes being an unusual color throws people off and makes me a little unapproachable. It's part of the reason my only friend is Nishinoya.

Once we got over the shock of my eyes he looked embarrassed that he was intimidated and said,"Like you guys could play any decent," as he walked away.

"You'll see when we meet on the court," I said as I hold Noya back while he screamed profanities at him.

We finish signing up and went to our first classes, luckily we have the same ones. The day went by as usual no one wanted to approach me and Nishinoya talking my ear off. After classes we change and head off to the court. When we arrive all the players are conversing with the new people.

"Hi welcome to the gym, my name is Goto Araken I'm a 3rd year and the captain and I play wing spiker. Nice to meet you!" Said an oddly energetic upperclassmen.

"Yo I'm Tatsuki Kai, and that's Yu-" I start trying to introduce ourselves

"I'M YU NISHINOYA AND IM GONNA BE THE BEST LIBERO." Shouted nishinoya looking embarrassed.

I looked at Noya shaking my head as Araken looked at him with sparkling eyes. "Ohhhh we really need a Libero this year glad to have you!" He said shaking both his hands.

I watched them doing there bro bonding, when I hear to my right,"Don't worry the captains always super hyper, I'm kind of glad he found someone to match his intensity." He said. I looked and saw a 6 foot black haired guy talking to me.

"Arima Eichi, second year, and currently playing setter." Arima said as he extended his hand

I shook it and said,"Tatsuki Kai, hoping to play setter."

"Oh good, I don't have to play setter this year." He said with a look of relief.

I look confusedly at him and he continues,"I'm originally a pinch server but I've had to do double training because we didn't have a decent setter and I was the best they had."

I had a look of understanding as he followed up with,"Hopefully your good enough for me to not do so much work." As he laughed walking off.

I watched with walk off and smirked,'Looks like I'm being looked down on.'

As we wind down the coach walks in,"My name is Okane Naoko I'll be your coach and you will call me coach. We're gonna go down the line and introduce ourselves starting with the starters." He said while gesturing for the captain to take the lead.

"Goto Araken, 3rd year and captain. I play wing spiker and I love oranges." Once he was done, as all of the first years were confused the second and third years laughed as if they expected his answer

"Ishida Mitsuo, 3rd year and vice-captain. I play opposite hitter." Said a red haired upperclassmen.

"Hirose Isao, 2nd year and I play middle blocker."

"Kitamura Kano, 2nd year and i play middle Blocker as well.

"Arima Eichi, 2nd year and I am a pinch server but I'm currently playing setter." He said as he looked challengingly at me. I smirk as the next one goes.

They continue with name if all their players until they started on the first years which only numbered at six. A couple of people made there introductions until the brown haired guy talked.

"Nishida Taigen, 1st year, wing spiker." Nishida said with the bare minimum effort, while Noya and I stared him down.

"Yu Nishinoya, 1st year and I'm gonna be the best libero!" Said nishinoya excitedly while the upperclassmen chuckle.

"Tatsuki Kai, 1st year and I play setter." I said gauging my senpais and coach's reaction. You see, me and Noya have a small reputation after playing in so many tournament. We even have our own nicknames, Noya's is his old one "The Guardian", and mine is "Scarlet Eyes Kai". It was a little unexpected but the coach was the only one with a reaction to our names.

"Alright it's time for the practice match to test your skill levels. First years vs third year, everyone get your jerseys." He said while glancing at me,'I wonder how good the Scarlet-Eyed setter actually is. Well, at least it'll be interesting.' He thought to himself.

[Authors Note: hey guys hope you enjoyed the chapter. I know that none of these characters are actually in the show but I had to make it up as I went along because there wasn't any mention of Chidoriyama's team except for Nishinoya. But hopefully I can tie it all together so we will wait and see :)]
