At 6:45 in the morning on Monday, December 10th, Kageyama, who had returned, and Hinata, who had also finished training, met near the school’s bicycle shed. The two were wearing Karasuno volleyball club sportswear and carrying sports backpacks, talking to each other. Looking at each other, although Hinata went to the first-year training camp by himself, the old supervisor Washokudashi did not let him join in the end, but this did not mean that Hinata didn't learn anything.
As a caddy, Hinata was like a hungry beast and never missed an opportunity. He learned a lot of knowledge from other players of the same grade and Ushijima during the first-year training camp. His growth in this process was no less than that of Kageyama in the youth team. Hinata, who has grown up and no longer only has volleyball in her eyes, will surely surprise everyone, but that will be a thing for the future.
Now, what two people care about is the outcome in front of them. What do you mean by outcome? Of course, who should arrive at the club activity room first?
Starting at the same time, Kageyama and Hinata, who refused to give in to each other, went straight to the club building. In the end, Hinata won this time. The panting Hinata lay in front of the activity room of the men's volleyball club. The white breath he kept exhaling proved that he had tried his best. Running.
"What have you done in the past five days?"
Kageyama, who knew from his seniors that Hinata secretly went to Miyagi Prefecture to stay together as a first-year student, hesitated and asked.
Hinata climbed up with her hands on the ground and looked at Kageyama's face, very seriously.
“Be a caddy.”
Hearing this, Kageyama was stunned for a moment, then saw Hinata's serious face, felt the change in Hinata, and smiled.
“I also learned a lot in the youth team.”
What this means is that you have become stronger and I have not fallen behind.
"Oh! By the way, do you have the key to our club room or gym?"
Seeing the confident Kageyama, Hinata nodded, and then thought that she couldn't get in without a key.
"No."
So the two of them couldn't go in to change clothes or practice in the gym. Hinata took out the volleyball from her bag, and the two of them just practiced passing the ball outside.
"The most powerful ones are indeed the five colors..."
"But Kunimi...ah, by the way, Momoize is really tall at 2 meters above sea level."
Hinata, who was chatting while passing the ball, finished telling her side of the story and asked Kageyama.
"By the way, have you met anyone good over there?"
"have."
"As expected, after all, most of them are people who have appeared in Volleyball Monthly."
"During the training camp, I heard from Hayato-senpai that a reporter will come to interview him this month."
"Really! Damn it, I'm so envious."
"By the way, there is even a 'little giant' in the youth team."
Thinking of the Hoshikai Hikarui who was about the same height as Hinata, Kageyama continued.
"He is about 170cm tall. I haven't seen him in the volleyball monthly, but he is undoubtedly one of the top players in this training camp. He must be a hundred times better than you."
Hinata was hurt by the comment that was passed along with the ball, and he took the ball in his hands.
"It's too much, and you say such hurtful things. Can't the introduction of him stop at 'one of the top players'? Is that last supplement really necessary?"
"Oh~ You are here as expected. Didn't you start quarreling again as soon as you met?"
"Tanaka-senpai!"
"Good morning, senior."
Tanaka, who was wearing a beanie hat, shook the key to the second gymnasium and watched the two juniors joking. When they saw him coming, Kageyama and Hinata also stopped passing the ball and bowed together to say hello.
Going up the stairs to the second floor, Tanaka opened the door to the activity room. As they walked up the stairs, Kageyama called out to Hinata.
"You can jump higher."
Hinata was confused by the sudden words. Before he could ask Kageyama what he meant, he heard Nishitani calling his name and running over. So I had to put aside this doubt and say hello to Nishitani first.
On the other side, Hayato got up in the morning and did some simple activities for a while. While eating breakfast, he received a message from Kiyoko.
"Today's lunch is croquettes."
"Thank you very much!"
Emoji of folded hands.
After finishing breakfast, he put the tableware in the sink and soaked it. Hayato got on his sports backpack, picked up his school bag, and went out to meet Kiyoko.
"Good morning, Sister Jiezi."
"Good morning, it's true, I didn't wipe the corners of my mouth clean."
Standing at the door, Kiyoko helplessly shook her head and signaled Hayato to wipe the corners of her mouth. However, Hayato wiped the other side. Kiyoko had to take out her handkerchief, carefully wiped off the rice particles from the corners of Hayato's mouth, and then patted it gently. He touched Hayato's chest.
"Okay, wipe it clean."
"Well, please sister Jieyi."
Defeated by his satisfied expression, Jiezi rolled her eyes at him, turned around and walked towards the school.
The two arrived at the school together, changed their clothes, and walked into the gymnasium. Sugawara, the deputy director of the volleyball club and the old mother everyone worried about, was stroking the hair of several first-year students and asking questions.
"Tsukishima, you have grown taller."
"Did Kageyama have a good meal over there?"
Asahi and Daichi, who arrived at the same time as Hayato, also complained about Sugawara.
"Where did you come from?"
"It's only been 5 days since I last saw you. I'll be damned if I can grow taller."
"Haha, I still like the atmosphere here. Good morning, everyone."
Seeing that the place was still as lively as ever, Hayato opened his hands and happily greeted everyone in the gym.
Then he was patted on the back by Dadi.
"No need to be so loud."
"Yes~"
Seeing the seniors arriving, Hinata hurriedly ran to Daichi and bowed ninety degrees to apologize.
"Sorry for causing trouble to everyone again."
Dadi had an "I don't understand you, brat" expression on his face. Just when he was about to speak, he heard something from Kageyama over there.
"You can't play any role without me anyway, right?"
"Kingshan, can't you have some moral integrity? You don't have to talk about this kind of thing all day long. I know it myself!"
"I don't talk about it all the time."
Jiezi felt a little emotional when she saw the two of them starting to quarrel again.
"Seeing them quarrel makes me feel inexplicably relieved."
"I see."
Hayato on the side also nodded when he heard this.
"Good morning, Kisuko-senpai, Hayato-senpai."
Renhua also came to the gym and greeted the two of them energetically.
The morning exercise has started. Because everyone has not arrived yet, everyone is now doing personal training. The morning exercise is just a light exercise. The class meeting will start at 8:10. If you are full, you can only practice for an hour at most. If you exercise too much, you will not be able to last until the lunch break. Had to fall asleep in class.
Although we haven't seen each other for only five days, everyone can clearly feel the progress of the out-training group during training. The most obvious one is Hinata. Instead of shouting energetically as usual, Hinata is quiet when playing. Somewhat surprising.
When catching the ball, his eyes seemed to be thinking. As an old mother, Sugawara pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes.
"Ah, that Hinata has become so good now."
"Stop being weird, Hayato is still waiting for you to pass the ball."
Giving Sugawara a shoulder, Daichi urged Sugawara.
"I know, I know, Hayato, it's been a long wait."
"It's okay, then I'll start!"
Nika threw the volleyball towards Sugawara. Sugawara saw the right moment and passed the ball to the most comfortable height for Hayato to smash the ball. Hayato, who was running from the right sideline, stopped firmly in front of the net, with all the kinetic energy of his running on the soles of his front feet. , stretched his arms back, and then stepped on the floor, making a beautiful sound.
Boom.
Nika and Sugawara saw Hayato in a very standard smashing posture in the air, like a bow, with his left hand open, his right hand pulled back, and then swung out like a whip, with his palm slightly open and taut to hit the ball. In the back-center position, push the wrist forward hard to accelerate the top spin of the ball.
I only heard whoosh, bang, the volleyball had hit near the back sideline. The volleyball that hit the ground bounced directly to the wall along with the kinetic energy, and then rolled to the wall.
"Oh~"
Attracted by this goal, everyone in the stadium collectively sighed.
"Awesome, Hayato."
Sugawara was the one who felt the ball the most. He was the one closest to Hayato at the time. It was Sugawara who felt the power the most when Hayato smashed the ball. Seeing that the ball was even more powerful than before, he did not hesitate to praise him. .
"Thanks for the compliment."
Hayato accepted it with a smile, and then Hinata rushed over.
"Senior, senior! That shot just now made a different sound when it took off. Do you have any tips?"
Hinata, who became better at observing players after training, noticed the difference in Hayato's take-off, so he immediately got up and wanted to learn this move.
"Hayato-senpai's take-off is 'dong', that's why it's so powerful, and your take-off is 'swish'."
Kageyama used his own onomatopoeic adjectives, but from the confused looks on the faces of others, including Hinata, he knew that no one understood what he said.
"Feixiong means that a powerful jump will make a completely different sound when stepping on the floor."
When Hayato explained, Kageyama also had an expression that meant exactly what he said.
Seeing this expression, everyone complained in their hearts that this didn't mean the same thing.
"Xiangyang, where does your center of gravity usually rest on the soles of your feet when you jump?"
"Huh? Hmm~ The position of the forefoot."
When Hinata heard Hayato's question, she thought about it for a moment, then jumped to feel it and answered.
"As much as possible, keep your weight and running momentum near the heels of your toes, and then take off. The difference between awareness and lack of awareness is huge!"
Kageyama, who continued following Hayato's words, finally gave a detailed description, and after listening to his words, not only Hinata, but also several other attackers also began to think deeply.
After understanding this, Hinata couldn't wait to let Kageyama pass the ball to her, wanting to practice it.
"So Kageyama, did you mean that when you said I could jump higher?"
"Ha, isn't that of course? Come on, get ready to start."
The first-year weird combination chatted and ran to the other side of the net to prepare for practice. Sugawara was also dragged to practice by Asahi and Tanaka, so the amount of training in the morning training today was much greater than usual, and the single-cell foursome inevitably changed. I fell asleep in class.
Looking at Tanaka who was sleeping soundly with his head buried behind the open English book, Hayato helplessly covered his eyes. He should have waited until after school to discuss this matter.
The single cells survived the difficult study time. The moment the school bell rang, they started to pack their things and prepared to go to the gym to practice. They stuffed their things into their schoolbags. Tanaka left a sentence of "I'm leaving first" and disappeared at the end of the corridor. , accompanied by the teacher’s loud reprimand.
"Tanaka! Don't run in the corridor!"
"Sorry~~"
Xiao Yu and Yu Xi both laughed when they heard Tanaka's apology.
"The dragon is very active today."
Putting the textbook into his schoolbag, Uki said to Hayato, who shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, after all, the national competition is coming soon, and everyone is working hard."
"Speaking of hard work, the final exam is coming soon. I remember Hayato, you still have a competition to solve."
Thinking of the final exam, Uxi blinked. She had not forgotten that Nagi Kirizaki came to their class to declare war on Hayato. Uki also knew about the Kirizaki family's sponsorship of the volleyball club through Hayato, but that was that , this is this, she who always likes to join in the fun can't let go of such a good opportunity.
"It's a shame you can still remember. Well, in my current state, I probably can't beat Kirizaki-san."
Hayato touched his chin and replied that although he has not fallen behind in studies, most of his time and energy are still focused on volleyball, so it seems that he really has to compete with Kirizaki for first place who devotes all his energy to studies. It's really difficult.
After hearing the conversation between the two, Xiaoyu, who had been laughing just now, was instantly discouraged. She pressed her soft cheek against the desk, and a somewhat troubled voice came out.
"What should I do? It's the final exam."
From these words, we knew that if nothing else happened, Xiaoyu had an accident and would fail the final exam again.
"So, today's trip to eat cake is cancelled. Let's go to your house for a study meeting."
Rubbing her friend's pink hair, Yu Xi said the evil words in a relaxed tone that made Xiao Yu's back shiver.
"Wow, no, it's my cake, Hayato, please save me~"
Ignoring Xiao Yu's screams, Hayato gave her a helpless look and watched as Uxi grabbed Xiao Yu and left the classroom.
"Then let's go first. See you tomorrow."
Before leaving, Uki waved to Hayato, and Hayato responded with a smile.
"See you tomorrow."
"Uki-chan, can you finish the cake first and then study."
"You can buy it back, but you can't eat it until you finish studying."
"devil!"
The girls' conversation echoed in the corridor. Hayato smiled and shook his head, packed his things and left the classroom.
The third grader who came to the activity room first was changing clothes.
"It's really amazing. You can see from the performance this morning that these guys who went out for training have made a lot of progress."
Sugawara, who took off his coat, raised his head with emotion. Daichi and Asahi next to him also nodded in agreement.
"Xu, you have to work harder."
After poking Asahi's side with his elbow, Sugawara joked with a smile.
"You don't need to tell me that I can do it too. In our third grade, only Dadi is the main candidate. This is not okay."
"Ah, you guy, this is irony."
Seeing the two of them laughing and joking, Dadi quickly asked them to change clothes.
"Speaking of which, after Kageyama came back this time, the pressure on people has become greater. Have you two felt it?"
Putting the coat he took off into his bag, Xu raised his head slightly and said.
"Xu, you feel it too?"
When Sugawara heard this, he immediately replied, and Daichi took the sneakers off the shelf and followed suit.
"I feel it too."
"A bit like the feeling when Kageyama first joined the club, but not that..."
"dictatorship?"
"Yeah."
The three seniors chatted for a long time but could not guess the reason for Kageyama's change. They soon stopped the topic when the second and first years arrived. Everyone was ready and started today's club activities.
