Chapter 22 - Friendly Match with the University of Tokyo

"Why does the air in my room feel so cold?"

Kenta's body suddenly shivered.

"You're right."

Cleon also feels the same.

"Give me a passing higher up, Cleon!"

Kenta said to Cleon.

"Okay, High past."

Clean then answered. Teacher Akashi noticed Cleon was giving high five. Even though Teacher Akashi doesn't know much about volleyball. He seems to think that Cleon is starting to get better at playing it.

The match selection schedule has been determined.About two months away.Currently the players from each perfect school are practicing hard.

"Today, we will go to a university in Tokyo. It will be better if you compete against strong opponents. There's no need to worry. You know the coaches. So, they learn their playing techniques."

Coach Masahiko conveyed a message to all the team members.

"Good."

Everyone answered by simultaneously. Yesterday, we trained with the Japanese National Junior team with great playing skills. Now, we will practice with Tokyo university students. Tall body posture. Not only that. They definitely have a stronger mental resilience.

"What's wrong with Takao?"

Kirio asked when he saw Tako. Who was lost in thought.The call from Kirio's mouth made Takao

wake up from his reverie.

"It doesn't matter."

A smile graced Takao's face in response. Kirio saw that Takao's attitude was a little different. Even though he knows that his team's Libero really likes to laugh and saying funny things. However, sometimes Kirio feels that Takao is a mysterious person.Like yesterday Takao stayed in his house with a bruised head.

"You want to accept my service?"

Kirio said to Takao. Even though they are starting to get closer. Still he couldn't ask Takao any more. Kirio thought maybe there was a time to respect the privacy of his teammate's life.

"Okay."

Takao then answer it. They both immediately got into their respective positions. Kirio bounced the ball on the floor. Takao bent his leg. His eye direction was very sharp. Kirio accidentally looked at . He was amazed by Takao's concentration while catching the ball. Even though this is just practice.This then raised Kirio's spirits. He will try to serve his best.

A high jump and the ball was hit by Kirio.However, when he hit the ball, Kirio felt that his shot felt weak.

"The ball is coming out."

Quickly, the ball flew. It turns out that Kiro's hunch wasn't wrong. The ball goes out of line.Takao's two legs were moved. He immediately received the ball, even though it was out of the field. The ball shot back towards Cleon, who was playing together with Kenta.

"Everyone, let's leave immediately. The bus is already at the school gate."

Coaches train to give commands.

"Okay."

All the team members answer it simultaneously. They carried their bags and left their volleyball room. Cleon locked the door before they left. Takao stepped on the bus. Takao's footsteps suddenly stopped. He then looked back. Staring at the sports hall. Cleon, who was walking right behind Takao, then she stopped.

"What's wrong with Takao?Did you leave everything behind?"

He then asked Takao.

"It doesn't matter."

Takao only said a short answer to the Cleon. Students, teachers and coaches board the bus. Not long ago, the bus started running. Many trees have passed through Howaitoiguru School is one part of Naha perfection. There are lots of trees on the side of the road.

Naha is the largest city in Okinawa, which is the southernmost and western prefecture in Japan. Okinawa is southwest of Kyushu, consisting of 160 large small islands. Because, it is in the Tropical Zone. Okinawa has a very beautiful nature and warm weather. The bright blue ocean that surrounds Okinawa makes this archipelago one of the best places in the world for scuba diving and other marine recreation.

"Takao."

Revian called Takao who was daydreaming and looked outside through the window.

"Oh, yes."

Takao then I answered a call from Revian.

"This is a drink bottle for you.Teacher Akashi gave it out earlier."

His friend who was sitting next to him gave me the drink bottle Takao.

"Thank you."

Takao immediately accepted it. He then opened the bottle cap. Drink the water with thirst. Revian looked at Takao carefully. It didn't take long for Takao to realize that Revian was looking at him.

"Sorry, it looks like you're thirsty."

Revian said to Takao.

The journey is quite far away. It took almost 12 hours. Bus stopped. The students immediately went down.

"Wow, is the university big?"

Kenta and his friends were amazed. Coach Masahiko got off the bus.

"Of course, Tokyo University is the best university in Japan."

All the students turned their faces towards Coachhiko Masa who was talking with his hands on his hips. Not just big buildings. Even the volleyball court consisted of 5 places. Some are outside and on the inside.

"Why are my gut shrinking?"

Kenta spoke with his face starting to sweat.

"Weren't you the one who originally said it would embarrass you?"

Atsushi answered back Kenta's words.

"You're so noisy! It's natural for us to be afraid of. They're students."

"Oh, so you are starting to become a coward now."

"What?"

A dispute begins between Kenta and Atsushi. The two people looked at each other with full hatred.

"Never mind. Don't fight."

Cleon tries to separate Kenta and Atsushi. A tall and handsome student walked up to the members of the Howaitoigur school team.

"Nice to see you again, Takao."

The young man then greeted Takao, who was talking to Kirio.

Nice to meet you."

Takao then responded to the young man by calling him senpai.

"Aoshi."

The woman screamed and approached Aoshi until he was out of sight.

"Just a moment, I didn't mean to do that."

"Hey Takao. Do you know it?"

Revian asked Takao.

"Yes. He was my senior brother when I was in first grade in Teiko Middle School. Team captain and Wing Speaker. I also heard that he got a merit fee and only attended high school for a year."

Takao then answer it.

"That means your senior is a genius. It's really annoying to hear that."

Kenta, who heard Takao's words, then joined the conversation. After that he folded his hands and looked away.

"I'm really sorry. Can you guys wait a moment?"

Aoshi said to Takao while scratching his head. Everyone looked at Aoshi and was giving autographs to the girls.Time keeps going.It took about ten minutes before Aoshi approached Takao.

"When I heard that the Howaitoiguru High School coach asked Tokyo University to hold a friendly match, I remembered that Takao had gone to school there. That's why I wanted to greet you first."

Aoshi stretched out his hand. Takao then bow his body.

"Thank you for accepting my request."

"Ah, for us it doesn't matter. Takao, why did you join Howaichigoru High School? I actually respect you too, Takao. Your talent would be wasted if you were here."
