The crowd goes crazy. 'That was shorter than I expected!!' Cameron overhand sets the ball from the back of the court. Mason jumping up and slamming the ball into the top of the block. The ball floating almost out of bounds as Lucas appears under it. The ball going further out. Lucas closes his eyes unable to reach the ball. Ajax suddenly jumping forward. Sending it into the rafters with a rolling receive. Lucas sliding and standing to help Ajax as Kurai jumps up to set the ball.
"What an insane combined effort by Lucas and Ajax Adams!"
Kaneko locks eyes with Kurai as everyone suddenly feels tense. Lucas turning around and smiling.
"Go get em' Ace" Kaneko jumps back quite far confusing Derek and Eric. Running outside the edge of the court and jumping really high. 'You may have gotten better at Manipulating the court Kurai! But i've also gotten better!!' The ball appears seemingly floating in front of him. 'The ball's floating??' A wall of three people appear in front of Kaneko as he swings his hand. Remembering what Lucas told him about unique spiking angles. 'It's all in my shoulder and wrist!' Kaneko swings his hand at a sharp angle as the ball warps on the court boundry between the 3-meter-line and the net. A whistle blows as Kaneko lands. The crowd going wild. LWTHS 16-14 MCHS. Technical timeout.
"What an insane sharp spike by Kaneko!" The other man gasps.
"That's something you'd only see in professional matches nowadays!"
A loud buzzer rings as everyone walks over to the bench. Russ looking at them. All of them were sweating alot as Kurai looks around.
"We'll follow whatever you say coach" There was silence as Russ sighed.
"Thank you guys for doing what you do so well. Richmond, I'm sorry, but I'm substi-" Richmond stops him.
"Wait, we only have one more substitution for this set, don't use it on me-" Russ looks at him.
"My decision is final. I'm subbing you out for Marv, that way we can level up our blocking game. Right, Kurai? You noticed it too…" Kurai nods.
"Most of their points have come from serves or blocks, if we can shut down their spiking, they only have Serves and blocks to rely on and with Dougal on our team, the blocking is settled. With Ajax, our ground is covered. This would be our best option for the second half of this set" A loud buzzer goes off shocking them. Richmond looks down and grits his teeth as he walks back to the bench. An intense aura pouring off him.
"We're now over halfway through this first to 3 sets game between Mason County High School and the Underdogs: LakeWood Technical High School" the other man agrees.
"And with the scores being only 2 apart at 16 to 14 with LakeWood Tech in the lead, we've seen some pretty crazy things. What awaits us in the second half of this Set?"
Lucas tosses the ball and remembers something Kurai told him. 'You could be as monstrous as us if all you do, is just serve the ball the way you have been with a little twist' He spins the ball as it floats over the net. Eric struggling a bit but manages to get it up. Derek instantly jumping up and spiking the ball into a wall as it hits the court before he could react. Dougal lands having easily blocked him with Marv's help.
"There he is! The giant Middle blocker, Dougal Wilson!!!" Everyone goes crazy as Dougal smirks at Derek.
"I'm a man of few words Derek. But" Derek grits his teeth.
"I win"
