Hayato joined the volleyball club and immediately started basic training with everyone. Hayato was not dissatisfied with this arrangement. No matter what sport, talent is only part of it. Without a lot of training day after day, even if it is a foundation, Geniuses can't go very far.
After practicing catching the ball, Coach Karasuno asked everyone to rest for 10 minutes before continuing. Hayato, who was already covered in sweat, took the towel prepared by Jiezi and first wiped it on his face, then picked up the water and drank a few gulps. .
"Huh~"
Hayato finally recovered and breathed a sigh of relief. The volleyball club's daily training was still very hard, and it was difficult for Hayato to keep up with his physical fitness.
"Senior Kuroba, was the thug aiming out of bounds just now?"
As soon as Hinata took a break, she couldn't wait to run over and ask Hayato for advice. Everyone had been introduced before the training, and Hayato also knew Hinata's name. Of course, even if he didn't introduce them, he knew all these people. Hayato also explained the little giant in a kind way.
"Yes, I found a loophole in Hinata's block on the ball just now, and I judged that I could go out of bounds. But the main reason was that I saw Nishitani-kun behind you when I jumped up. Yeah, the defense was perfect. Well, this choice can be regarded as forced by the situation."
"Of course, Nishitani-senpai is Karasuno's patron saint."
As if she was being praised, Hinata said Nishitani's title with a proud look on her face.
"Senior Kuroba, may I ask where you learned your skills? How can you achieve such accuracy in jump serving? How do you develop your hand feel?"
Pulling the still proud Hinata aside, Kageyama, who had already accumulated a lot of problems, couldn't stop like a barrage.
"Well, calm down Kageyama. I learned the skills from video websites. I often watched some game videos at that time, and I learned by watching them. As for the feel of the jump serve, I learned it since I learned the jump serve I have been practicing every day since then.”
Seeing the happy atmosphere on Hayato's side, the third-year group over there also breathed a sigh of relief. Logically speaking, it was too late for Hayato to join them with such a high skill, but they were afraid that Hayato would look down on others based on his own ability. Now he is fine. , Hayato is not that kind of person, and he can quickly get along with the first-year juniors.
"This way, even if we graduate, Kuroba-kun can still be the ace who supports the juniors."
Although they have only been in contact for a while, Asahi has already understood that some people are born to be aces. Hayato is superior to him in terms of temperament, self-confidence, and even skills. The ace should be like him.
Seeing that Asahi had committed the old habit again, Daichi and Sugawara said nothing. The two of them silently patted Asahi on the back. After the game just now, they also knew that what Asahi said was not wrong at all. Hayato may really grab Asahi Ace's position. Sugawara understands Asahi's mood better than anyone else.
Kageyama is like this, from talent to strength, he is completely stronger than himself, so he is the only one. . .
Sugawara also sighed at the thought.
"Okay, okay, why are you so dejected? Wouldn't it be a good thing for us to have strong newcomers join us? Do you think Hayato can reach Ushijima's level?"
Seeing that his two friends were feeling depressed, Daichi quickly cheered them up, then changed the subject and mentioned the strongest ace in the prefecture, Ushijima Wakali of Shiratorizawa Academy. When they heard this name, the two of them fell into thinking.
"Well, Hayato is not bad either, but compared to Ushijima..."
"Maybe we can really match him. Asahi, it's not enough for you to experience him on the opposite side. As his teammates, Daichi and I really felt that kind of aura, and we also have Kuroba-kun's skills."
Xu first thought about it and expressed his thoughts, but was interrupted by Sugawara before he finished speaking. Daichi on the side nodded in agreement after hearing Sugawara's words. During the game, Daichi could clearly feel that he needed There were a lot less things to do, from catching the ball and defending to organizing offense, Hayato could be said to have taken care of the entire game, that game.
Daichi only needs to catch the ball from the opposite side, and Hayato can find a weak point to score at every opportunity. Even when used as a bait, Hayato's aura of scoring without anyone stopping him makes people have to guard against it. . This also greatly eased the pressure on Tanaka as a secondary attacker.
The rest time ended quickly, and a group of people started vigorous basic training again. After it was completely dark, it was time for free training. The Hinata Kageyama duo, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came together. One wanted to learn the skills of a thug going out of bounds. , the other wanted to give Hayato the ball to try the offensive rhythm.
After calming down the two noisy first-year juniors, Hayato first taught Hinata how to throw the ball out of bounds. When Hinata was almost done with it, he let him practice. Then he called Kageyama and asked Sister Kiyoko to help throw the ball.
The future ace pair began their first practice session.
At Hayato's request, a row of empty water bottles was placed on the field, and Sister Kiyoko chose the target. Then the volleyball flew up, and Hayato started to run. He jumped hard when he reached the net, and the volleyball from Kageyama stopped just in time. He placed the palm of Hayato's hand and made a powerful smash to the left.
The water bottle flew away at the sound, and it was the water bottle Kiyoko chose. It was successful on the first try. Hayato and Kageyama both clenched their fists happily to celebrate. The two of them were like precision-operated machines, knocking down the water bottles on the field one by one. A mistake.
Gradually, the practice of the two was watched by other members, but the onlookers did not affect the performance of the two. After the last ball was completed accurately, the stadium burst into warm applause. Everyone was impressed by the two's perfect performance. Cooperation showed respect.
"Amazing!"
Hinata looked at Hayato and Kageyama's duo on the court with bright eyes, and then moved forward to ask Kageyama to give him one too. However, Kageyama mercilessly said that Hinata had such ball control skills, and he was still far from it. . This hit Hinata hard, but he quickly recovered and clamored to learn from Hayato.
Hayato also patted his shoulder and said he would help Hinata.
Looking at such an outstanding newcomer, Coach Wu Yang is even more looking forward to the next training camp. I wonder if their jaws will drop when they see their ace player.
After today's training, Jiezi planned to send Nika home. After learning the news, Hayato also said that he wanted to go together. He was worried that Jiezi would go home by herself. Jiezi didn't refuse, so the three of them went together.
Tanaka and Nishitani made envious sounds after knowing that they were neighbors, but they were ignored by Kiyoko. On the other hand, Hayato smiled and said that he would invite them to his home if there was a chance in the future. This made the duo of Kiyoko's guards confront each other. Hayato was grateful.
I originally wanted to go with the two people today but got caught by fate because they still needed to study, otherwise they would not be able to go to the dormitory if they failed the final exam.
After bidding farewell to his new companions, Hayato changed his clothes and sent Nika home with Kiyoko. On the way back, because it was the rush hour after get off work, the train was crowded with people.
Relying on his height and strength, Hayato held up a space for Jiezi at the car door. With his arms propped up on the door glass, Hayato pressed against Jiezi in a wall-to-wall posture. Before Jiezi could say anything, he felt embarrassed.
Because Hayato remembered that he had sweated so much from exercising today and there would definitely be a smell on his body.
"I'm sorry, Sister Jiezi."
Kiyoko looked confused. She tilted her head and looked at Hayato's face. She noticed Hayato's embarrassment and burst out laughing. Kiyoko, who covered her lips with her hands, narrowed her eyes as she laughed. Her beautiful face looked very cute.
"Why do you say that?"
"It's just, um, I just finished exercising and I still smell like sweat."
Hayato's explanation made Kiyoko understand. She moved her nose slightly, and then she smelled the smell of citrus-scented laundry detergent on Hayato's body. It wasn't too unpleasant when paired with the smell of sweat.
So she stretched out her hand and flicked the tip of Hayato's nose just like she did when she was a child.
"What's the matter? I'm the manager of the volleyball department, so I'm familiar with this smell."
He was stunned by Jiezi's actions, and then Hayato's memory also emerged. When Hayato was a child, he was often naughty, and Jiezi would flick his nose as punishment.
Although the person in this body now is not the real Hayato, what is the difference between him and Hayato who has obtained all of Hayato's memories?
Shaking his head and throwing these philosophical questions aside, Hayato also smiled gently.
"That's true."
Just when the two wanted to continue chatting, the car trembled. The crowd behind Hayato was unable to stand due to the lack of a handle, causing a chain reaction. The crowded crowd directly pushed Hayato forward.
"Uh, I'm really sorry this time, Sister Jiezi."
Why I say this is, of course, because the crowding just now left no space between the two people. Due to the height difference, Jiezi's face was buried in Hayato's chest, and Hayato's abdomen also felt a touch of softness.
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Although Jiezi's tone was very calm, when Hayato looked down, he could see that her ears had turned red. He looked away and looked at the night scene outside the car door as if nothing had happened.
