Zongman: Complete Guide to Characters

"Yeyue-san!"

Someone called his name at the door.

"Here I come." Yeyue raised her head from her homework.

She didn't plan to go back home to do her homework, so she used the time after class to do it, including reviewing and previewing.

Yeyue walked out, her eyes swept over the young man.

The people in the back row were sleeping soundly again, head down, with their arms stretched out on the desk.

This sleeping position has resulted in me still not knowing what this boy looks like.

All I knew was that the other person had short black hair that was groomed to be shiny, and that his ten exposed fingers had nails that were trimmed into a round shape with some calluses on the knuckles.

"Senior."

In the corridor, a head of smooth medium-short black hair attracted a lot of people's attention.

The cold beauty, Kiyomizu Kiyoko, curled her lips slightly when she saw Yeyue.

"So, can you come and watch our training after school?"

"Yes, you can!"

"I'll come to pick you up when the time comes." Kiyoko Shimizu was a little happy, the curve at the corners of her lips became a little bigger, and her eyebrows and eyes were like crescent moons.

"There will be a game in the afternoon. After the game, I would like to invite Yeyue-san to come and watch our training."

"Contest?"

So early?

It’s only been a short while since school started.

"Yes, it's a competition for new students to join the club. It happens once a year."

Yeyue understood that it was understandable for seniors to observe the abilities of the juniors and then select the right ones.

After saying goodbye to the beautiful senior schoolmate, I returned to my seat and checked the rules of the volleyball game on my phone.

"The main attacker is one of the most efficient scorers, responsible for receiving the ball from the secondary setter or second setter and attacking. The secondary attacker is the scoring partner of the main attacker..."

Huh? Who is talking about such basic volleyball rules?

Kageyama Tobio slowly raised his head sleepily.

"Then there's the setter...

"The setter is usually one of the most important organizers on the team, responsible for organizing the offense and getting the ball to the right attacker..."

Yeyue was halfway through reading when she suddenly came to her senses and heard a voice muttering with her.

Turn around to follow the source of the sound.

The sleepiness in the blue eyes was swept away, and a bright light flashed in the eyes.

"Kageyama-kun?"

Kageyama Tobio ignored what Yeyue said and stared at her aggressively.

"Are you interested in volleyball?"

"Yes." Yeyue replied decisively.

——[Kageyama Tobio Favorability: 5%]

"So Kageyama-kun is on the volleyball club?"

"Hmm..." The boy with short black hair was about to nod, but then he thought of something and said disappointedly, "Not yet."

"Not yet?" Yeyue raised an eyebrow.

"I mean! I haven't fully joined the club yet..."

Yeyue was startled by his sudden outburst and stepped back a little, "Is that so."

"Yeah." Kageyama Tobio seemed not to want to continue this topic. He turned his face away and awkwardly scratched the hair on his forehead. His pouting expression was a little scary.

Hey - actually, she looks pretty good, hm, a bit cool and aloof, but it seems like she doesn’t really know how to use her face.

"So Kageyama-kun is the setter?"

"Hmm! Hmm."

It’s a bit difficult to approach him. Just now he seemed to be really enjoying volleyball.

His personality seems to be somewhat unchanging, or maybe he is just too direct, which makes it difficult for outsiders to keep up with his emotional changes?

Yeyue's eyes flickered as she made a quick judgment.

He was not discouraged, and the kind smile on his face did not change at all.

"The setter is so handsome!"

"I feel so too!"

The young man looked at Yeyue seriously, "Blind the enemy's eyes and carve a bloody path before the main attacker. This is what I think a setter is."

"Hmm - I'm starting to get more and more interested. Kageyama-kun definitely loves volleyball."

"Well, why do you say that?"

Kageyama Tobio nodded, his eyes sparkling and a faintly intimidating aura emanating from him.

"Speaking of volleyball,"

Yeyue was not afraid of him. She smiled and looked directly into the other person's blue eyes. "When it comes to volleyball, Kageyama-kun's attitude has changed a lot."

Catching the undisguised surprise on the other person's face, he smiled brightly and said, "I think that's probably the expression that only people who really love this sport can show!"

Kageyama Tobio rubbed the back of his head uncomfortably.

"Have you been playing volleyball since you were a kid, Kageyama-kun?"

"Well, grandpa is a volleyball coach, and my sister used to be on the volleyball team."

"Hey--so Kageyama-kun is a good setter?"

"..." Kageyama Tobio's face darkened, he stared at his desk, his mouth pouted again, "Why, why do you say that?"

"intuition."

Yeyue's smile remains unchanged.

What's wrong with this boy? He reacts so strongly to a casual compliment from others.

interesting.

His tone began to get angry, "Not every setter who plays volleyball is a good setter! I-!"

"But! Kageyama Tobio-kun loves volleyball, doesn't he?"

"So what?!" The young man became impatient and suddenly shouted.

"You are not going to give up volleyball in the future. You will keep playing volleyball, right?"

"Yes again——"

"Then, even if you are not excellent now, sooner or later, Kageyama Tobio-kun will be able to become an absolutely excellent setter with his love for volleyball."

Ye Yue faced the boy's sinister face and said slowly, "At least, that's what I think."

Kageyama Tobio's temper calmed down. Although his expression was still not good, he was at least no longer angry.

"Or will Kageyama Tobio-kun be shaken by a word or two from me or someone else?"

"would not!"

Kageyama Tobio had a firm expression and frowned, as if he didn't understand why the other party would ask him that.

He certainly won't give up volleyball.

He came to Karasuno just to be able to stand on the court all the time!

"Then there's no need to be so angry, right?"

The expression on Kageyama Tobio's face gradually calmed down, and he looked at Yeyue strangely.

"I'm not angry."

Awkward guy.

"Then work hard to become an excellent setter."

Yeyue turned around and continued with his own work.

Try harder and review all the lessons for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

"So, I said--!"

“On the way to becoming an excellent person, it is normal to experience rumors, discover mistakes, fall flat on your face, cry, complain, get angry, and feel sad.”

Yeyue paused, "I won't laugh at you, Kageyama-kun. But there are some things that are useless to say to me. Go prove it to others."

Well——even though I am too lazy to care about other people’s opinions, I naturally won’t prove anything.

But it does not hinder Yeyue's righteous words.

Next class.

She felt as if there were burning eyes staring at her from the back seat.

I always feel like he's a single-celled guy. His emotions are so obvious.

You're probably thinking, "Why can you say that so easily?" "Don't act like you know me so well" or something like that, right?

Yeyue propped up her face and looked out the window.

+1 target for the volleyball club.

But there were only two potential targets, so there was no need for me to stay. Being a manager would take up too much of my time, and it wasn't worth it.

So, think about how to reject that senior without losing her favor.

Yeyue buried his head in thought.

Exuding black energy and with a terrifying expression, Kageyama Tobio stared at the slender figure in front of him.

Her black hair lazily draped behind her, and under the caress of the sun and the breeze, it actually shone with a faint red luster. The flying black hair occasionally revealed the white skin on the back of her neck.

His back was straight, and when he was thinking, the pen he twirled with his fingertips was particularly eye-catching in the class.

The girl was obviously not paying attention in class, probably because her grades were outstanding, so the teacher just glanced at her and turned a blind eye.

As the student on duty that day, the class schedule written on the blackboard was so handwritten that the teacher was surprised and praised it highly.

But other than that there doesn't seem to be anything worth mentioning.

At least Kageyama Tobio had no impression of the man sitting in front of him.

What! This guy is saying such great things!
