Chapter 2: Spectators
The loud voice of a man unfamiliar to him echoed through the staircase and into his ears, Ayato walked up the stairs with a pout on his face. He was walking behind a man with curly black hair.. he was a large man with a toned body and smelt of a strong cologne
"Atayo, You should really smile more, I know my sister would enjoy that very much"
Said the man with curly black hair looking back at Atayo once they reached the top of the stairs.. he would stay quiet with a pissed off look on his face.
"I'm not surprised she finds you so attractive with that beautiful long blonde hair, and cold dead eyes"
He would reach the top of the stairs, Ayato was a slim yet fit man with blonde hair and cold blue eyes.. eyes like crystals
"At this point you sound like your hitting on me, I'm flattered really, but when I tell your sister she'll be pissed"
"I wouldn't do that, and even if I wanted to, I'm to busy with the sport"
The black haired man said before walking through a door, and out into the 2nd floor of the gym. Insisting that Ayato followed him.. the gym smelled clean and fresh, the aroma of freshly made volleyballs lingering in the air.
Ayato finally walked in behind him into the massive gym, looking down seeing 2 courts down on the floor. Each being taken up and used by a team of players
"See Rajjin, don't you wish you showed up formally to play"
She was speaking to Ayato, his full name was Raijin Ayato. And which he didn't, he didn't want to be there at all. His agitated expression was annoyed by this nagging the man with the black hair did
"Why did you bring me along if you wanted to scout players"
Raijin said as they both moved over to the stands to take a seat, surrounding them were former players in the league and coaches who are currently running it.. even reporters there to take a look at the new class for the upcoming year.
"Oh C'mon Raijin, these are all players that you're going to play with going into highschool. If you were not going to play with them you might as well watch"
Raijin really didn't want anything to do with this.. a few months ago at the end of Jr high he was given a letter, a letter to japan's national volleyball showcase at the national gym in Tokyo. Apparently the commissioner of the Spencer league, one of the current highschool volleyball leagues in Japan had passed on. And his grandson who succeeded him put it together
"what a joke"
He said under his breath while looking down at the court.. It seemed like the people were starting to pick teams. Looking at it now there were a few giants down there, that one there with long black hair seemed to be massive.. I mean height wise he really stood out from the rest. Even so there were also some shorter players, down towards the kid with black hair who looked like a setter from the looks of it. There was a kid who looked like a midget from here, gray hair and a very short and small frame..
His thought process would be cut off as a taller man with brown hair and small thin eyes walked over to them, he shaked Raijins brother in laws hand
"It's a nice treat to see you here Kazuyuki Yagi, I never expected that you'd ever come down and check out the next generation"
"You to Lincoln, it's sad to hear your father passed away."
Kazuyuki said, replying to Lincoln's words, from Raijins memory that man was the current commissioner of the Spencer league.
"Oh and the reason I'm here is because of my brother in law, he decided not to come on his own accord"
Both Kazu and Lincoln looked over at Raijin, Raijins chest got tight from their glares as the gym's loud chatter went silent in his head.. as his mind focused solely on Lincoln's words.. but no words would come from his mouth, but a smirk.
"Interesting.."
