Chapter 45 - Chapter 45 - VS Date Tech (Part 2)

Now it was Sasaya's turn to serve, which he did well but was well received by Nishinoya who passed to Kageyama.

"Nice receive!" said Kageyama while trying to fake with his eyes as he looked at Asahi who was at the net seconds before touching the ball, but he noticed that Date Tech's block remained motionless, so he decided to set for Tanaka who was in position two to his right.

"Tanaka-san," said Kageyama while setting the ball.

"Leave it to me!" said Tanaka as he jumped towards the ball, and when he was gaining height, he could see the double block from Aone and Futakuchi had already formed in front of him.

"Damn!" he thought when he realized it would be difficult to get past the block, so he decided to hit the ball towards Aone's fingertips, making the ball fly to the back of the court. Obara tried to jump to prevent the ball from touching the ground but didn't make it in time.

"That was close!" said Tanaka.

"Nice one, Ryu!" said Nishinoya.

"Well, it was a point for Karasuno, but if they continue like this... they'll soon start having problems with Date Tech's blocks," said Irihata to Mizoguchi.

After Karasuno's point, it was Tanaka's turn to serve, putting the ball in play towards Sasaya.

"This one's mine!" declared Sasaya while receiving the ball that went towards Moniwa, who prepared to set.

"Send it to me!" shouted Futakuchi, who after seeing the ball flying in his direction jumped and observed a triple block from Asahi, Daichi, and Hinata. After being challenged, he managed to spike the ball through Karasuno's block, and the ball went flying towards Karasuno's court.

"I got it!" shouted Tanaka, positioning himself in front of the attack trying to receive, but the ball hit his arms hard and flew near Nishinoya.

"Cover me, Noya!" shouted Tanaka.

"Send it to me!" asked Hinata while observing Nishinoya moving towards the ball.

"Your turn, Hinata!" shouted Nishinoya while passing the ball with an underhand receive towards Hinata, who was in position four. Even before jumping, he could already see Aone's movement preparing to try to block him. After a powerful jump, Hinata could observe Aone, Futakuchi, and Moniwa forming the iron wall with a triple block.

"You won't stop me!" thought Hinata while facing the block and subsequently attempting a cross-court attack.

Reading Hinata's attack, Aone tried to move his hand to prevent the cross-court shot, but the attack had such overwhelming speed and power that it passed like lightning and hit the floor of Date Tech's court.

"BOOM!"

A sound like an explosion echoed through the arena when the ball spiked by Hinata hit the court floor.

"Did you see that? That guy faced the triple block without any fear!" said someone in the stands.

"His attack was impressively powerful, who is this guy? Never heard of him before!" said another person excitedly.

"That's the rising star, the first-year: Hinata Shoyo!" announced another person.

"What monstrous power, looks like Karasuno now has great strength on their left!" said Mizoguchi.

"Yes... their team is evolving at an overwhelming speed!" observed Irihata.

"How great! Now Hinata's getting all the attention!" complained Tanaka, pouting.

"What matters is winning, if we're going to win with Hinata scoring all the points, I'm fine with that!" said Daichi.

"Alright! But I won't fall behind!" said Tanaka, clenching his fists and looking at the ceiling with eyes blazing with competitive spirit.

"Now these guys are starting an internal competition? Did they forget we're their opponents, or are they just underestimating us? If that's the case, we'll show them why we're called the iron wall!" said Futakuchi with eyes gleaming, thirsting for revenge.

"..." Aone nodded in agreement with what Futakuchi said.

Tanaka serves again towards Sasaya.

"Mine again!" he shouted while receiving and then passing to Moniwa.

"It's yours, Aone!" shouted Moniwa while setting the ball towards Aone in the center of the net, who after jumping faces the triple block from Daichi, Asahi, and Hinata, and then makes his spike that ricochets off Asahi's block and was heading towards the floor of Karasuno's court.

"No way!" said Nishinoya while diving to the ground towards the ball and putting his hand between the ball and the floor, managing to prevent the point and directing the pass to Kageyama, who could see the ball flying in his direction.

"Pass to me!" shouted Tanaka from the back of the court, sounding confident.

"It's yours, Tanaka-san," said Kageyama while doing his best to set for Tanaka at the back of the court, who jumped.

"Take this!" shouted Tanaka while flying towards the ball and spiking, but as soon as his hand touched the ball, he looked at the block that had appeared in front of him formed by Aone and

Futakuchi and tried to break through it, but the ball ended up hitting Aone's hands and returning to Karasuno's floor.

After Aone's point, the stadium seemed to come alive and Date Tech's supporters got fired up and started singing again:

"Go! Go! Let's Go! Let's Go! Dateko!"

Go! Go! Let's Go! Let's Go! Dateko!

"Tanaka, calm down... like I said, what matters is victory!" said Daichi.

"Yes! I got too excited..." said Tanaka, a bit embarrassed.

"But next time I'll definitely score!"

"Hey! Don't get excited again, you should be disappointed after being completely defeated!" taunted Futakuchi while moving away and heading to the serving position.

After jumping, Futakuchi managed to execute a powerful serve that went towards Tanaka, who saw the ball hit his wrists and make Kageyama have to walk to the back of the court. Before the ball touched his fingers, Kageyama looked forward and observed Hinata raising his arm.

"Go Hinata!" said Kageyama while jumping and making a back-to-front set towards Hinata, who received a triple block and performed an over-the-line attack, and once again Date Tech's block wasn't able to react in time to stop it.

4-2 Karasuno

After this new point from Karasuno, Asahi could be seen going to the serving position, and Nishinoya left to give place to Tsukishima.

"Hey, wait a minute!" said Irihata, looking surprised.

"What is it?" asked Mizoguchi.

"That block... isn't it also very tall?" said Irihata while looking at Hinata and Tsukishima together in the attack zone.
