"Okay, I want a clean game here. No need to shout at each other if something goes out of your control. If you think my decision is questionable, you can ask me, but you have to respect the final decision. Lastly, respect your opponent and do your best! Do you understand?!"
"YES, SIR!"
After the quick pep talk from the referee to the players from both teams, the twelve players who were going to play were already on the court, ready to start the game. Just like usual, Tsunemori put his best players from the start, with Yuki and Kaede as the opposite hitters, Koji and Ogawa as the outside hitters, Riku as the setter, and Hirano as the blocker on the front line. Okamura waited on the sideline for the rotation to play, while Asahi was ready whenever the coach needed him to perform.
