Because Hayato was there, he and Kageyama didn't take the long way around and arrived in front of the stadium very quickly, so they didn't meet anyone else at this time. After registering for the report, they handed their luggage to a staff member and went straight to court.
In the spacious venue, there are various professional equipment, as well as cameras on the walls, and a huge electronic screen is hung in the center, which can always broadcast the action of the players in the venue with a delay of 6 seconds. The floor is also made of the latest materials, which is better than Karasuno's wooden floor. too much.
"Oh~"
Kageyama turned his head left and right to observe the venue, and Hayato already made a sound of emotion.
"Everyone is here, let's assemble."
Seeing the arrival of the supervisor, the invited masters from each school also gathered immediately.
"Then, please ask the national team supervisor, Hibari Tian, to say a few words for everyone."
Another supervisor wearing glasses, Huo Shaohu Taro, who had just introduced himself, stretched out his hand to signal, and the supervisor next to him with a mustache took a step forward.
"Okay~Okay~ Well, I believe you don't like to hear the uncles' lectures, so I'll make a long story short. Japan will eventually be defeated by height and strength. This kind of saying is outdated. No skills can be taught. But I discovered it, challenge the world, go ahead and prove that something like volleyball can be more interesting."
"yes!"
With a resounding answer, Hayato used his peripheral vision to check for any familiar faces while answering, and he actually found a few.
After that, they introduced themselves. Everyone had to tell their position and the school they belonged to. While reading the magazine in the car, Hayato also took note of the players who could be featured in the magazine.
Known as “the No. 1 high school setter in the country”, Miya Atsumu
He has blond hair and smiles like a smiling fox, but judging from the black color at the roots, this person's hair should be dyed, Hayato thought to himself when Gong Yu introduced himself.
Although everyone's hair colors are not as colorful as in other works, there are still natural colors like Hinata and Sugawara.
"Sakuza Seiomi, a second-year student at Idayama High School in Tokyo, a leading attacker."
The tall boy with curly black hair said with his hands behind his back. Hayato's eyes lit up when he heard the name.
Together with Ushijima Wakali and Kiryuhachi, he is known as the top three attackers in the country, and is also one of his biggest opponents on the road to winning the championship. After staring at him for a while, Hayato withdrew his gaze.
"Hoshikai Hikari, a second-year student at Odai High School in Nagano Prefecture, a leading attacker."
The boy with white hedgehog hair stood in front of everyone. Hayato looked at him. He seemed to be about the same height as Hinata.
Finally it was his turn. Hayato stood up from the ground. When he introduced himself just now, everyone was sitting still. When it was his turn, he stood in front of everyone and introduced himself.
"Hayato Kuroba, a second-year student at Karasuno High School in Miyagi Prefecture, the main attacker."
After all the personnel were introduced, the coaching staff was divided into two groups and led everyone to conduct a three-on-three practice match. The first people to be called were Hayabusa and Kageyama, who were placed in the same team.
The opponents he faced were Korai Hoshikai, Sakuza Seomi and Miya Yu, all of whom were strong opponents, which made Hayato a little excited. The third person on Hayato's side was Komori Motoya who was from the same school as Sakuza Seomi. A young man with round eyebrows joined Hayato and easily integrated into the rhythm of the two of them.
The defense is quite good, and with his help in defense, Hayato can more confidently smash the ball and score. At the beginning, Hayato and Kageyama can still score points through the cooperation, but after they gradually get to know each other, he can just score easily if he wants to. It's very difficult.
And the other side also started to fight back.
As the No. 1 setter, Gong Yoo's skills are currently higher than Kageyama. In addition, it is the first time for him to cooperate with others, but he plays like teammates who have played together many times.
In his first appearance, Hayato lost to his opponent, but he did not feel dissatisfied. These were the strongest players gathered from all over the country. If he came up and killed everyone, he would not be fighting against Shiratorizawa. The fight was so difficult.
After a simple round, Supervisor Hibari Tian asked a few people to rest and replaced another group. The information of this round has been recorded by the assistant. Everyone has just arrived, and now the practice match is just to get a feel for it. Understand everyone's true level. After all, we have learned through video before this.
"It was a good fight."
After the game, Yuan Komori, who was on the same team just now, came up and praised him, and Hayato smiled back.
"Komori-kun's catch is also very beautiful, and his posture is very standard."
As the saying goes, don't hit people with smiling faces. In a place like this, of course you need to have a good relationship with these people. If you have the opportunity to play practice matches in the future, these are good resources.
Hayato's compliment made Komori very happy, so he sat next to him, and the two started chatting, but the topic was basically about volleyball. Just when they were chatting happily, Sakuza Seomichi came over, and he looked at Hayato.
"You defeated Shiratorizawa. Was Ruoli in bad shape that day?"
It was a direct question, and from the fact that he called Ushijima Joori, it seemed like the two had a good relationship.
"No, he was in really good shape that day."
Shaking his head, Hayato recalled Ushijima that day and was not sure whether they could win again if Karasuno and Shiratorizawa were allowed to fight again.
"Then why did he lose? What moves did you use? Did someone stop Ruoli to death?"
"Hey, well, although I didn't stop him to death, I did stop him a few times."
"Who is that person? What grade is he in?"
Upon hearing this, Sakuza immediately started asking questions like a machine gun.
"Slow down, slow down, I'm sorry, this guy looks at the problem from a very negative perspective."
Moto Komori, who was next to Hayato, also saw his main attacker starting again, and immediately stretched out his hands and pressed down to signal him to calm down.
"I'm not being negative, I'm being cautious."
Zuo Jiuzao, who frowned, explained, and Kingshan listened for a long time, but still couldn't hold it back.
"Senior Zuo Jiuzao, you weren't serious about the scene just now, were you?"
"Kageyama-kun, why do you ask?"
Zuo Jiuzao asked, knowing Kageyama's name from his self-introduction.
"How should I put it? It just feels like it's much more ordinary than I thought."
Pfft, when he heard this, Komori, who was sitting next to Hayato, couldn't help laughing. Hayato also had a strange look on his face. His own setter spoke too straightforwardly. Although from the game just now, Hayato also felt Yes, but how can anyone be so straightforward when they first meet?
I saw the blood vessels on Zuo Jiuzao's forehead bulging.
"I just feel like my shoulder is a little off today, right?"
Gu Sen, who had laughed enough, quickly spoke up to resolve the embarrassment. Zuo Jiuzao, who noticed that his mood was fluctuating, also adjusted his breathing.
"So it was you who stopped Ruoli?"
After changing the subject, Zuo Jiuzao stared at Kageyama's face and saw Kageyama shake his head.
"The one who stopped him head-on was Hayato-senpai."
