Under questioning, Yamaguchi only admitted that she was a girl from Karasuno. As for the specific name of the grade and class, the escort duo who thought it would be Kisuko wanted to expand the team, but they were denied with a blushing face and mentioned Nika. He shook his head in the same way.
This shocked Hayato. Could it be that it wasn't Nika, or that he didn't want to expose his feelings and pretended to deny it? After staring at Yamaguchi's face for a long time, Hayato, who really couldn't tell whether it was true or false, gave up and continued to observe. Everyone couldn't tell and started chatting casually.
Listening to the conversation, Hayato gradually fell into sleep.
Hayato, who went to the track and field for jogging and took care of the first graders as usual, came back after exercise and happened to meet the managers who went downstairs to the cafeteria to prepare breakfast. When the girls saw Hayato, they all looked at him and whispered to each other.
"Oh oh oh, it's Kuroba-kun."
"It goes well with Shimizu-chan."
Hayato didn't hear what they were saying because his voice was very low. After saying hello to Jiezi, the girls became excited and gave them a strange look.
"Sister Jiezi? What's going on over there?"
"Don't worry about them. Come back and wash up quickly. Look at how sweaty you are."
Hayato, who subconsciously felt that he shouldn't stay here longer, listened to Jiezi's advice. Before leaving, he glanced at Nika. They had known each other for a long time. Logically speaking, Nika should not be afraid of him anymore. Why was Nika still so angry just now? His face looked trembling.
Hayato left here with doubts in mind. As soon as he left, the girls gathered around Jiezi.
"I call you sister Jiezi."
"That's great~ Kuroba-kun looks very handsome, like a loyal dog boy."
"Yeah, yeah, I think so too."
He just smiled lightly and didn't answer their words, so the girls' conversation became farther and farther away.
After breakfast, another day of ample training begins. Today, Coach Wu Yang’s training plan for everyone is to skillfully use it in the game to attack with multiple people at the same time, and not to be satisfied with one lineup.
Following Coach Uyang's words, today's players also played with a lineup of five first-choice players and one substitute.
After these two days of on-court training, Yunxia was no longer as nervous as before. After playing in the first game, he replaced Daichi in directing the other personnel, while Hayato was placed on the bench.
"Relax, leave this ball to me!"
He kept communicating with his teammates verbally and caught the opportunity while observing the position of the opponent.
"Watch left."
"Give me!"
Familiar lines, Hinata and Kageyama's perfect cooperation successfully scored a point.
"Well done, you two."
After successfully scoring, he also praised the two juniors. However, Senran on the opposite side would not be scored all the time and immediately regained a point with a standard simultaneous multi-player attack.
"Sure enough, the synergy of multiple attacks at the same time is the best."
"Yes, it is very worthy of our study."
Sugawara and Hayato off the court sighed as they looked at Senran's perfect coordination. This kind of perfect coordination is currently what they, Karasuno, are pursuing, but with the current Karasuno, if they want to play this kind of coordination and attack with multiple players at the same time, they still need more practice. Woolen cloth.
"do not mind."
"Ready for the next ball."
People on and off the court encouraged the players not to care about the lost point. Ever since Hayato was decided by Coach Uyang and the third graders to be the next captain, the choice of vice-captain fell to Yunxia.
He is dignified, able to keep Tanaka and Nishitani in check, and can also understand other people's moods. Yunoshi's personality complements Hayato perfectly. The captain and deputy captain have different divisions of labor, so that they can lead a team well.
As a result, Yuanxia's number of appearances has been greatly increased. Although Yuanxia hasn't heard the news yet, he cherishes every opportunity to play and continues to train himself.
Feeling guilty for escaping once, Yunxia attaches more importance to the opportunity to play than anyone else after rejoining the team. Now that they have decided to enter the country, they cannot rely on Hayato alone, and they must work harder.
This is also the reason why I have been practicing seriously during the recent personal training period.
The volleyball was put up again, and everyone in Karasuno started running at the same time. It was obvious that they were trying to attack with multiple people at the same time. People outside the court also looked at them nervously. This tactic was a great test of teamwork. We stayed in Karasuno for the past two days. The success rate is not particularly high. The main reason is that they will often rotate on the field and the lineup will change.
But this time the ball was passed to Tanaka in the front row. The straight ball went directly over the net and passed the arm of the blocking player. The blocking player was spiked and scored without even touching the ball.
"Success!"
"Nice! Tanaka!"
"Well done, Kageyama!"
After the opponent launched a multi-player attack at the same time, they immediately returned the favor and successfully scored using the same tactics. This was hard not to be exciting. Yuanxia called the others over and everyone gathered in a circle to celebrate together.
Others outside the court also loudly congratulated them.
However, although everyone was in good condition in the first half, the offense in the second half was still hindered. Senran University also showed their tenacity as a strong school, chasing the score and finally winning 25:23.
"Damn it, I'm sorry everyone, I didn't catch the last few balls well."
Holding his head and feeling regretful, he apologized to the others. Karasuno's catching skills have always been a flaw. There is no shortcut for this basic skill. It can only be improved through repeated exercises. This game ended at the end of the game. Senran just kept staring at Yuanxia, although he also had the option of stepping back and handing the ball to Nishitani.
But Yuanxia was also a young man, and he must have been unconvinced by being targeted like this. The result was that Yuanxia refused to admit defeat and wanted to catch the ball, resulting in a loss of points, and he was overtaken to win.
"Don't worry, try your best next time."
"Yeah, this round is over."
Tanaka and Nishitani patted Yuanxia's shoulders and told him not to mind too much. They were not invincible and it was normal for them to lose.
After sorting out their mood, under the leadership of Captain Daichi, all members of Karasuno ran an unforgettable round trip on the slope accompanied by Cicada Ming and Xia Yang.
The temperature in July was already not low. In addition, we had just exercised in the gym and were exposed to the sun again. Even the substitutes' faces were now red from the sun. Everyone took the water bottles prepared by the manager and replenished them. Get some moisture.
Renhua on the side was struggling for a long time, and finally she got in front of Hayato.
"Um, Kuroba-senpai..."
Feeling that she still had to tell Hayato about what happened yesterday, after Nika finished speaking, she bowed deeply and apologized to Hayato, and told her about the relationship between Hayato and Kiyoko, even though Kiyoko had comforted Nika last night and said that she She didn't care, but Nika still felt that she should apologize to Kuroba-senpai again.
After listening to Nika's words, Hayato suddenly understood Kisuko's reaction this morning and why the other girls were staring at him.
"It's nothing. This is not something that must be kept secret. Relax, Nihua-chan. I'm not angry."
After waving his hand, Hayato comforted Nika first, then found that she still looked guilty, so he patted her shoulder.
"Really, really?"
"Of course, don't think about this. As Karasuno's manager, it's more important to do a good job in everyone's logistics, isn't it? Thank you very much for this."
Smiling and shaking the water bottle that Nika had just handed to him, Hayato thanked her.
"Yes! Kuroba-senpai!"
Seeing Hayato smiling and thanking her, Nika finally felt relieved. She bowed to Hayato again and continued her work. Some people had already finished drinking the water, so Nika had to go and get some more.
"Did Renhua talk to you about what happened yesterday?"
"Yes, she feels very guilty about what happened yesterday. I would say this is not a big deal, right, Sister Jiezi."
Jie Zi didn't know when she came to Hayato's side. The two stood in the shade of the tree, the distance between their shoulders was very close, and they could touch each other with a slight movement.
"Yes, yes, I'm looking forward to the day when something big comes."
Of course Hayato knew what the big deal Jiezi was talking about, and it was an agreement between the two of them to wait until the day he won the championship to confess his love to Jiezi.
"I will definitely do my best to make this event a complete success."
"Well, I'm looking forward to it."
Under the shade of the tree, the boy and girl looked at each other wordlessly. The sun shone on the two of them. The sudden breeze blew up the girl's hair, revealing the beauty mark on the corner of her mouth.
