"Oi, Take! Don't go overboard!" Matsumoto reminded his kouhai. "Respect your opponent and don't provoke them like this!"
"I know, I know." The blocker waved his hand nonchalantly. "I just want to know how capable the team that could beat that bastard's team before. I swear I wouldn't provoke them without any reason."
Matsumoto could only sigh helplessly, knowing who the bastard his kouhai just mentioned.
The boy's name was Takeshita Akihiro, and if people only looked at his build, anyone would never guess that this 190 cm boy was still a freshman. He came from a small middle school in Hokkaido that created a miracle last year by going through the semifinal of the national tournament for the first time in their history before their journey stopped there and they had to be satisfied with the third place. And the team who beat them was the champion led by Haruo as their middle blocker.
