At 8 o'clock in the morning on Sunday, as the principal's boring and long-winded speech ended, Hayato and Tanaka walked out of the gymnasium together.
"No matter which school principal you are in, he always looks like this."
In the corridor, Hayato stretched and complained. Today's opening ceremony is to register at school and take a look at the class divisions. Karasuno's class is re-divided every semester. After the class division, in addition to sports, music and other series Courses that require specialized classrooms are all taught in the same class. There will be no situation where Mandarin is taught here and mathematics is taught in another classroom.
Hayato had taken this kind of course in Tokyo before, and it was really troublesome to have to change classes after the last class.
"Indeed, our principal looks quite young, and he is so energetic. I couldn't stand even while standing there listening to his speech."
Tanaka also complained at the side. After walking for a while, the two of them arrived at the notice board. They stood outside the crowd and looked in. They first discovered their own and Hayato's names.
"We are still in Class 1, ah, Hatotani-san is also in Class 1, um... there are others..."
Seeing that Hatotani Kohan was also assigned to Class 1, Tanaka told Hayato the news and continued to look down to see if his other friends were also assigned to Class 1.
All the second-year students in the volleyball club stayed still and were in their original classes. Hayato looked around and stopped looking. Tanaka also said hello to his friends and came back.
"Please give me some advice this semester, my dear friend."
Putting his hand on Hayato's shoulder skillfully, Tanaka smiled at him and said, Hayato looked at the time.
"It's almost time, let's go. Today is the first club activity in the new semester."
"It's a new semester, but we were training on our own last Friday, right?"
Regarding Hayato's statement, Tanaka was obviously not very cold. In his opinion, he just took a weekend holiday and continued training.
"Okay, let's go, they are already waiting for us."
Pulling Tanaka's arm, the two walked towards Yuanxia who was waiting for them not far away. All the second graders gathered together and went to the locker room to change into sportswear.
In the gymnasium, coach Wu Yang was giving instructions for the new semester.
"Everyone is in good shape recently, but you still have to pay attention to safety when training. It's not long until the end of October. In order to enter the country, don't be lazy in training. Do you understand?"
"Yes! Coach!"
Coach Wu Yang nodded with satisfaction, and then Teacher Takeda lectured.
"Well, everyone will have to work hard to train after the new semester begins. Because we have broken through the first round of preliminaries, we can go to Tokyo twice for a sleepover on the weekends in early September and during the autumn break in early October. Although we were in the last sleepover. Our performance is good, but we should not be complacent. We need to make further progress in training with these strong schools in Tokyo. Everyone, this is the year when we have the best chance of entering the country. Let’s go for the representative selection.”
Takeda-sensei, who was holding a small notebook, informed everyone of the camp plan recorded above and encouraged them. Everyone shouted that in order to enter the country, they must first pass the representative selection competition, and everyone was very motivated.
After the basic training, Hayato was assigned the task of leading the first-year training. Hinata and Kageyama were both good prospects, so there was no need for Hayato to worry too much. Their current task was to increase the success rate of super-speed attacks, which is an extremely challenging setter. The success rate of the attack method depends on Kageyama's performance.
Tsukishima wanted to practice blocking with Hayato, and asked Sugawara to help support the ball. This not only improved the cooperation between Hayato and Sugawara, but also allowed Tsukishima to adapt to powerful spikes, so that he could face Ushijima more calmly, killing two birds with one stone.
In the end, Hayato doesn't need to take care of the remaining Yamaguchi. Yamaguchi has always been a very hard-working person, and Hayato's skills in this area may not be as good as Yamaguchi's master, so his current task is to practice more.
Today's Karasuno has no shortage of attack methods, so instead of training to be like a shield like the earth, it is better to hone his only spear. The jumping ball is Yamaguchi's weapon, and the key server is his role.
Being able to recover the score at critical moments to improve morale, or break the deadlock in a draw is the responsibility of a key server. What Yamaguchi needs to do now is to make himself more like a key server.
Of course, Hayato had to find a way to relieve his nervousness as soon as he came on the field. Although Yamaguchi was put on the field for training by coach Karasuno in the previous camp, the camp was still different from the official game. In the first round of preliminaries, Karasuno It was an easy win, and there was no chance for Yamaguchi to appear.
Hayato was thinking about letting Yamaguchi play in the representative selection to get used to the atmosphere of the official competition.
When it comes to jumping balls, Nishitani must be mentioned. You must know that jumping balls is not just Karasuno's privilege. After entering the national competition, there will definitely be players from other schools who will use jumping balls, so Hayato also discussed this with Nishitani. Things, when Nishitani was training with Yamaguchi, he set aside a period of time to train with him, and he could also practice catching floating balls in case of emergencies.
"Ah Yue, if you really can't block it, you can switch to a soft block."
Another spike hit Tsukishima's palm, knocking his hand back, and this time the beater went out of bounds again.
Tsukishima clicked his tongue in displeasure and moved his fingers. Tsukishima rejected Hayato's proposal.
"No, I still want to try again, Hayato-senpai."
"Nika, please, Sugawara-senpai, let's continue."
Seeing Tsukishima's unwillingness to admit defeat, Hayato didn't try to persuade him anymore. After letting Nika continue throwing the ball, Sugawara held up a lob ball. Hayato dunked it again, and Tsukishima's raised hands were hit by the ball again. of leaning back.
Hayato scored several goals in a row, and Tsukishima's fingers were a little sore, so Hayato asked him to wrap some tape on his fingers first to avoid being injured in the next block. Tsukishima didn't refuse and went to the medical box to get a lap. The tape was wrapped silently and returned to the venue.
"Let's continue, Kuroba-senpai."
"You are very energetic, let's continue training."
Looking at each other with Sugawara, the two were also very pleased with Tsukishima's performance. Tsukishima now is more energetic than he was before, and the energy he puts into training is also very different from before.
At night, after completing personal training, everyone left the school in twos and threes.
Tsukishima did not go home directly, but instead went to the Comprehensive Sports Park. On the court inside the house, Tsukishima's brother was already waiting there.
"Hey, Ying, you're a little late today."
"Personal training took a lot of time today, let's continue training."
Putting his schoolbag against the wall, Tsukishima didn't say much.
"Oh~ I'm very motivated today."
Tsukishima Mingmitsu is also very happy about the changes in his younger brother. Things in the past were not good for him and his younger brother, but now everything is getting better. They are still playing volleyball, and his younger brother is no longer the same as before. Although he didn't say it, Tsukishima Akihiko saw his passion for volleyball, and his younger brother became more active in playing.
There is a person on the volleyball team that Tsukishima Akimitsu belongs to, named Akaizawa. When he was training with Tsukishima before, Tsukishima couldn't stop his smash. But today, after a special training with Hayato, his mind has improved. Calmly watch the other person jump.
Then he jumped up, stretched out his hand, bang, blocked the net, and landed directly on the ground. The volleyball rolled several times on the ground.
"Good job, Ying."
Tsukishima Akimitsu saw his younger brother performing extremely well on the first ball and patted his shoulder happily.
"well enough."
Awkwardly, Tsukishima turned his head and accepted his brother's compliment.
"Hey, sure, you can catch my spike so quickly, but this is just the first ball, let's continue."
Akaizawa first praised Tsukishima for being able to catch his spike, and then challenged Tsukishima.
The night is still very long.
