"Hinata Shoyo wing spiker your height makes me laugh"
Kazuma snarled while the tangerine was just on his knees taking the comment to heart.
"Another Tsukishima..."
Hinata had crocodile tears streaming down his face while Koji was scolding Kazuma who just didn't acknowledge him and walked off and stood on the other side of the court.
A hand landed on his shoulders which frightened the poor tangerine out of his trance.
"S-sorry j-just wanted to s-see if you were a-alright that's all" Seguro answered looking a little tense.
"Seguro-senpai don't be like that, Kuguri Naoyasu, like you little cutie I'm a first-year and the hottest man alive"
Kuguri did a small pose of showing off his muscles before his teammates started trash-talking him.
"I swear you and Oikawa have more in common than you think..."
Akama commented that the majority of the people inside the gym agreed.
"The only difference they have is one of them is an actual door, the other one is just arrogant for no good reason..." Takachiho added, adding more salt to the wound.
"Taka-senpai not you too I thought you were on my side!" Kuguri felt betrayed on the other hand Takachiho just glanced away not acknowledging the fact that his kouhai was talking to him.
The members continued bickering but all the ruckus halted when their captain signaled for their attention.
"Are you all ready for today's practice?"
Daisho questioned as he regained his posture from a perverted and childish captain to a serious one in a matter of seconds.
Hinata shivered in his shoes as he noticed Daisho glancing at him daringly, "Yes captain" they all answered exclaiming loudly even the members who were usually quiet.
"Alright... Teams are determined by a schoolyard pick, me and your ace over here will be the team captains" Daisho explained tossing a ball that was coming directly at their ace who once again caught it with ease.
Who then spiked it with full force, the ball changed directions in a split second barely missing Hinata's face as the ball behind him crashed with the wall.
Hinata glanced behind tensing up a bit as his eyes landed on the ball that almost crushed his face,
"S-scary..."
Hinata felt his legs become all noodle-like but remained his posture after that ball that almost hit him in the face he was terrified.
"I pick chibi-chan!"
Daisho's eyes settled at the trembling tangerine still sensing the scary and heavy atmosphere but follow he did.
As he moved beside Daisho on the left side of the court as the schoolyard pick began,
With Isumi, Kuguri, and Naoyasu on the other team, Hiro, and Akama being on Daisho's team unfortunately for Takchiho he wasn't picked on either side and was benched but that didn't stop him from training and honing his skills.
"Uhm... we don't have a setter nor you guys don't have a libero captain, wouldn't it be an unfair match cap?" Akama seemed lost along with the others. Kazuma groaned glaring at Daisho to explain what was going to happen.
"I have to admit we are a very strong team. I feel like we can be stronger and with this practice, we can learn more and..... give our full potential!"
Daisho raised one of his fists in the air which made everyone pump up and scream in unison
"ALRIGHT!"
They all went to their places with their captain serving first using a normal serve. As it landed on their opponent's side but itwas received by Seguro,
"Chance ball!"
The ball flew towards Isumi who was already prepared to set as he got into position.
"Kazuma!"
Hiroo and Akama jumped at the same time attempting to block a straight shot which was successful but they didn't expect their ace to switch to a diagonal shot.
Hinata had his eyes on the ball as he felt time slow down immensely as he felt this feeling before, all those... Memories...
The tangerine prepared his arms to receive the ball and time suddenly changed back to how it was.
BLAM!
Hinata glanced at his arms as the ball collided with his elbow but the ball just bounced off and flew outside of the court.
Shoyo's attention was more focused on his elbows as it was red due to the force of the ball but he was confident he could've retrieved that what was this feeling... Quickly realized something.
"G-gomen!"
"It's fine!/You're good!"
Hinata apologized again as he went over to where the volleyball flew and served it across the gym as they quickly went over a couple of rounds with each team scoring.
But something was happening they were all bonding with one another, learning to communicate and understand each other like a puzzle with missing pieces that were finally found
BOOM!
Finally, after some attempts, they started to get the hang of it, "I did it!" Hinata was freaking out, finally, he was able to retrieve the ball and help the team.
"Matchpoint!"
Daisho's team including Shoyo all thought to themselves mentally prepared to win the first set and that's exactly what happened.
Daisho served one powerful serve with the other team not touching the ball thinking it was outside of the court but to their dismay, it was close to the line but it wasn't outside.
"WE DID IT!" Daisho's team cheered as they had their moment of excitement as they started to gradually improve ever so slightly.
They decided to take a short break before they go onto their second set.
"Daisho-senpai you were so awesome!"
Hinata flaunted with his captain blushing as he tried to stop himself from getting embarrassed.
"Chibi-chan you don't have to state the obvious"
On the other hand, his teammates were just rolling their eyes as they drank some water before getting up from their seats and got ready for the next set.
And boy was the atmosphere heavy. The oblivious tangerine didn't understand why there was a dark atmosphere but still went on with the practice.
"Sorry!" Hiroo apologized as the ball landed outside of the court, the score was 10-13 with the opposing team leading.
"1...2..3!"
A three-blocker but sadly it wasn't enough to block the strong attack. The ball landed on either side of the court.
Unfortunately, Kazuma's team won the 2nd set so it went to the final set
"Whoever wins it gets bragging rights..."
Everyone was analyzing the field from left and right, on the other hand, Shoyo was more cautious about how he's going to serve.
Taking one last deep breath before testing out an underhand serve, our tangerine glanced at the object as it felt like the ball stopped mid-air all of a sudden.
Slowly drifted off to the other side of the court when time suddenly sped up and the ball didn't even reach the opponent's side of the court.
"S-sorry!" Hinata had an embarrassed face as his face became red with the opposing side being the ones who are going to serve.
Huh?! A jump float serve! Their captain received it barely so, as Isumi was prepared to set.
Hinata being the fired-up tangerine took a running start and ran towards the other side of the court, Isumi noticed it and immediately got ready.
In one fell swoop, Isumi tossed the ball and miraculously landed in front of the tangerine.
The tangerine spiked the ball with full force but was blocked by their ace, Hinata felt weak compared to Kazume he had almost everything he wanted.
Height, strength, intelligence... What more could someone ask for... Tsk.
