--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oikawa(Setter)||3 year

Iwaizumi(WS)||3 year

Rise Kyota(MB)||2 year

Takahiro Hanamaki(WS)||3 year

Keigo(Libero)||2 year//Kosuke(MB)||2 year

Raimu Oritsume(WS)||3 year

(I am going to make this a best of three sets so there will be only three sets)

"All right now settle down your horses we have just 1 set to win we need to win another set all right but you need to remember that at the start we took them by surprise but they still got close to us at the end so this set will be more difficult as you have opened up your cards all right."

"YES COACH!!"x6

With the whistle we again march to the court.

And Ushijima is at the serve line doing his routine and as he looks up i see him smiling at us.

'What the fuck bro is really tripping now' i said in my mind

Ushiwaka tossed the ball and smashed the ball.

The ball is coming straight towards me. As i took my position and receive the ball but as soon as the ball touched my arms it whipped right past me like there is no stopping it.

1-0

'Hah seriously now how can he add more spin than he already has fuck looks like even the world is trying to say to follow the plot.'

On his second serve he again scored by sending between me and Oikawa. 

2-0

'All right now this is a problem.'

Immediately we took a time-out to somehow disrupt his flow

"I mean how the hell does people power up in the middle of match it's like he just used his protagonist armor." I said

"Yeah that's totally unfair."Oikawa said

"So now how do we deal with it." asked Hanamaki-san 

"Well it's really simple actually we just have to bump it up"Said Oikawa.

"You know senpai sometimes i really want to hit you."

"Hey i am your captain you need to respect me more and i know that his serve as well as spikes now i think will have more spin there so i am really not saying this out of joke i am saying this because i have spend three years with you lot and that's why i believe in all of you that we can pull this off."

'WOW i mean holy shit i don't know about you but when someone who is more like a brother to you put all of his trust in me then it is your responsibility to never look down and take the challenge head on.'

As we walked back to the court me and keigo covered the major part of the court and Oikawa and Raimu-san is at the far corner covering a small part of the court.

'Hah man now i totally know what Daichi felt like when there is no more ground behind that white line.'

I took a deep breath and crouch down lightly 'Come at me with all you got' I thought mentally and Ushikawa looked at me just before he tossed it up and did his approach and smashed it across the corner.

'Damn that muscle head is really not making it easy for us but i know that he will be there 'thought Oikawa

Just as the ball was about to touch i dived at the last moment and got a hand on it but it's far from the net.

"OIIIKKA GET THE BALL" I shouted i know that it is very difficult to set from here but even if it's bad we have Iwaizumi so it will okay

"Damnit i won't let a junior take all the glory by himself" Oikawa and tossed a second tempo to Iwaizumi 

And as always Iwaizumi was already there and smashed with only one blocker in front of him

"NICE KIILLL!!!" x5

Nice receive Rise even if it was bad but nice job getting that ball up."Said Iwaizumi

"Yeah but even now my forearms are stinging but that course on the ball was fucking creepy we really need to do something about his serves." I said

"Hey don't forget about my perfect toss alright" Shouted Oikawa in background.

2-1

Now it's my turn to serve and by and according to Coach i am told to aim my service towards their #8(Wing spiker) He has not make any great in this game and also due to our block he has not been making great plays and also he should be frustrated now because in previous set we did not let him get away with free spike.

So while i am serving and he is in front we placed one player on him so even if it's a second tempo or first tempo we will always mange to have at least two wall marking him and as for Ushiwaka i mean he still isn't in his high school physique where he alone could score 40 alone.

(This is known as shade where two blockers are at middle and one blockers is at edge you can search it if you want and there is also a mention of it in chapter 348 of Haikyuu)

But i also can't rule out the possibility that he is a volleyball freak like Hinata so even if he is tired he will do it.

but first let's get some point since their setter is at back they have got our number #8 at the back also to have 3 men at the back.

Just before tossing i glanced at him for a second and tossed the ball up in the air and did my approach and served right there when their setter just run toward front line.

Just as their number #8 about to receive the ball it's going long and their libero also noticed this but it was too late and the ball grazed the finger of #8 and the ball landed out of bounds.

2-2

Just as i about to do another toss an idea suddenly prompt in my mind well it has a low success rate but looking at my condition i can't have a better chance than now to try it.

As i tossed the ball up and this time i did a little run-up and jumped and smash the ball Dead On that was perfect. 

Just as the ball left my palm it landed directly on the end line and the player from Shiratorizawa could not even move a muscle.

"SHAAAHHHHHH How did you like that"

"NO TOUCH ACCCEEE!!"x4

3-2

Now as i walk up to my third serve i noticed that Ushiwaka is now recieving now i know that he isn't in his peak now and he has more than half of the points by himself in previous set and now that he is in the back row his jump also need to be more KABAAAM type but his receiving isn't also bad but it isn't too good also.

now as i tossed up and hit another ball it brushed at the top of net and dropped at their court one of their front-hitter got a hand on it before their setter tossed an emergency toss to their left side hitter now that i see the toss is really high so he can't hit it without much power so it will be at back.

As i got to the back the ball came straight towards me and i bumped it nicely at oikawa who this time used the middle A quick to get past their blocker.

4-2

[Spectator pov]

"Woah Kitagawa are scoring break point one after another it looks like that this year finally they are going to beat this year." Hayato Ikejiri

"Hmm really do you think so but now that i am looking at Shiratorizawa they are doing better than what they did in set 1 you know in set 1 they were like a chaos when both those servers from kitagawa Daichii did those unhuman plays but now that i see them they are just moving on if they lose a point." Sawamura Daichi

"My-my our wise captain you are pretty observant huh."Hayato Ikejiri said in a cheeky tone.

"Hah but you know now that i see both these teams playing to see who will get to play in national i really get jealous of them but at the same time i get angry at myself like if i just practiced a bit more maybe we could have been down there playing just a bit longer."Said Hayato Ikejiri while hiding his face from Daichi.

"All right we can talk about these depressing talks later so what were you saying that where do you want to go." Hayato Ikejiri changing his tone from depressing to cheerful. 

'Ikejiri i thought i was the only one that felt this empitness inside of me but i got it all wrong' Thought Daichi.

"Yeah i am going Karasuno"Daichi

"Woah that powerhouse aren't you taking a shortcut to nationals."Hayato Ikejiri

"It might seem like it but i am going to work my ass of there for sure and then i will be waiting for you Ikejiri."Daichi 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"AAgh shit sorry" On my fourth serve i messed up my hit and it was out.

"Don't worry focus on next point"Iwaizumi

after that we focused on accumulating points just trying to maintain our lead and after very intense long rallies we were at each other throats having our deuce and now we were at

28-28

I just got to the front row after gaining another point aah man my arms and my quads are killing me by jumping all around.

As the refree whistle blows i glanced at Kosuke to told him to not worry about anything and have guts.He finally nodded and with a determined look he serve a normal ball just enough to make it past the net making their left side hitter touch his knees to the floor.

'Good he is out now their are only two Hitter middle and right side Hitter(Ushikawa) but their setter has been clearly been sending way more sets to their sides but i can see that our blockers are also spreading a little bit now it's not a bunch block but a spread block he may be aiming for that.'

with all the thought process completed i focused again on the ball my gut was telling it's going middle this time just as the setter set the ball it came to middle my body almost instinctively moved at the same time.

As their middle blocker got a clear view he smashed the ball but just after a second later a pair of hands came and deflected the ball.

their setter face scrunched face well i did know that i have a beautiful smile so i flashed a cute smile toward his face.

"One touch!!" i shouted 

I quickly took my approach distance again while Iwaizumi saved the ball and Oikawa got under the ball me and Raimu-san did our approach and Oikawa also did a dig but fortunately for them one of their player managed to dig that ball by using a foot but the ball is low for making a good set.

Their setter makes a push and got himself under the ball and squat down for more time and set a quick set to their right and that was their mistake they got so much into our rhythm that there only thing in their mind is to score that point and due to that point they are trying play that they have not even perfected yet and look at that freaking beauty there it's like ball is telling me that this is the one i have been waiting for a set that's too low to close to the net and has high speed which the spiker is not comfortable at.

"focus on the line Oika-san"I instructed oikawa to make sure that he only has one course by doing a cross shot.

me and Oika got there in time and Raimu-san waiting for a cross shot.Me and Oika jumped at the same time by concentrating much on the straight line and giving him the clear view of cross just enough time him to make the decision and just as slammed the ball right before that i twisted my waist toward right and extended my hands out more and the ball crashed into my hand and fell down to Shiratorizawa side.

"SSSHHHHAAAAA"I screamed my lungs out on that block because that was all me.

"YYEEAAAHH RISE"x6

[Spectator POV]

"Woah he blocked another Ushiwaka Spike man that bro is a monster at middle blocking."Person1

"Man i am feeling terrible for people who will be facing him in the year and in his high school."person2

"Woah did you saw that daichi his movements were clearly for blocking a straight but at the last moment he switched and how is he able to move like that in mid-air."Hayato Ikejiri

"Yeah now all the momentum has turned on Kitagawa Daichi side and with this break point now they only need 1 more point to win"Sawamura Daichi.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

29-28

Immediately after that point shiratorizawa called their last time-out for this set and we also my teammates also grouped together by asking me several question and congratulating me.

after that i called coach and oika asking about them is it time to use our final move and they both agreed.

After refree whistle we walked back to our court and just as Kosuke was walking to serve line there was a substitution and it is Kageyama guys are you surprised yeah it took a lot out of me to convince Oikawa to let him play at this crucial moment.

As kageyama entered the court their is this you know happiness i can see on his face must be protagonist aura.

"How are you feeling Kageyama not too nervous are we."I asked

"Not at all Rise Senpai i was waiting for this moment the whole match."reply Kageyama

Now Kageyama walked back to the serve line and just as we talked our main target is still the left side hitter by making him fall a knee.

And kageyama served that perfectly just above the net and their right side hitter passed it to their setter and their setter set it to Ushiwaka obviously.

Now you see at this moment we have the highest vertical reach at the front and we surrounded Ushiwaka and used a plate and Ushiwaka shouted and used all his power with this attack damn that the sound was echoing in the whole gym

"Save it Hanamaki-san"I shouted and hanamaki-san dived across the court and saved the ball now as the ball is coming back Kageyama got into position and Oikawa took the right side and we made our run together and kageyama set it to right side where there blocker were least expecting it and Oikawa made use of the opportunity and smashed the ball on line.

30-28

Damn we finally won outside the court i could hear screaming voice of my teammates and crowd but we six were shocked that we finally won the match against shoratorizawa.Shiratorizawa who is always beat us for 2 years in row and now in the final year of my seniors we finally managed to get a victory against Ushiwaka and Shiratoriawa.

"We won"Said oikawa looking back at us and at that moment our senses came back to us and we rushed at him and celebrating our first victory.

After some crazy moments it was time for the award cermony and as usual Ushiwaka got the best wing spiker award and Oikawa got the best setter and serving specialist award but this time i also got an award of becoming the best Middle Blocker in this tournament.
