[Volleyball] Black and White

At 06:30 in the morning, Xiao Linyuan sat in the entrance and put on his sneakers, and started to run in the morning.It took me half an hour to run around the community twice, and when I got home, I was sweating a little.Kobayashi took a shower, changed into the team uniform of the Hyotei Volleyball Club in the room, packed his schoolbag and went downstairs.As usual, I greeted my family and sat at the dining table to have breakfast.

At 10:[-], Xiao Linyuan got on the tram to Bingdi. Ten minutes later, Kobayashi got off at the station and walked towards the gate of the Hiotei school, and met Sato Kei who arrived at the school at the same time.After saying good morning to each other, the two quickened their pace and walked towards the arena. Kobayashi Yuan was usually responsible for recording everyone's lateness in the morning, and there were already some people inside when he opened the door of the arena.

Everyone arrived within 10 minutes. Kobayashi put the attendance sheet in his schoolbag, whispered to Sakakihara who was drinking milk next to him, and entered the queue after no one was late.

Tomorrow will be against Kadokawa Gakuen, Kobayashi Yuan feels that he has fallen in love with this feeling of victory.He raised his hand and passed the ball to Jiang Ze, and he watched as Ze Jiang jumped up and smashed the ball: "Is it too close to the net?"

Iri Jiangze wiped the sweat off his chin: "A little bit, a little farther away."

Kobayashi nodded to show that he knew.

On the court next to him, Sakakibara was practicing a single pass between Kuroyu Tetsuro and Shimizu Yusheng. Kobayashi turned his gaze back: "Go on."

From the moment Sakakihara appeared in the arena, Kobayashi knew that the days to come would not be peaceful.When Kobayashi was in middle school, he had the impression of Sakakibara as a junior with good skills and arrogance. Later, because Ice Emperor was getting worse and worse, he never met him.

Xiao Linyuan had already prepared for an uneasy life in the future, but he didn't expect it to be such a kind of unrest.All the second and third graders here have never reached the group finals with a winning streak.

Kobayashi Yuan, who was sitting in the classroom, suddenly remembered what Sakakihara had said when he drew lots before.

Entering the capital competition, Ice Emperor has not entered the capital competition for a long time.

Xiao Linyuan turned the pen in his hand and looked out the window while resting his chin.

All competitions...

Kobayashi turned his gaze to the blackboard again.

He is still looking forward to it, but what he looks forward to more is the whole country.

The round schedule came out on Wednesday. Ice Emperor is the first in Group A, so the first game will be played against the second in Group B.Secretary Sakakihara led the team to sign in at the entrance of the venue and entered the venue. Unexpectedly, the first person he saw was not from Kadokawa, but from Xiaogu.

Xiaogu had a match with Qiu Shangao at ten o'clock, so they came early to see the ice emperor who would meet in the next few games.

Sakakihara Division and Yi Qingyao looked at each other across a net, and it was Yi Qingyao who spoke first: "Come on today."

The other party said it with a smile, and he still cheered for Ice Emperor. No matter what, Sakakihara couldn't ignore it with a cold face, so he could only nod: "Yes."

"But you have added newcomers?" Yi Qingyao looked at Heiwei Tielang and Qingshui Yousheng who were walking in the back, "It looks pretty good."

Sakakihara also pointed out: "The newcomers from the senior school also look good."

Everyone knows that Beichuan No. [-] Middle School, where Sakakihara Division was in junior high school, was one of the top five in the country. All the first-year students in Xiaogu had played against Sakakihara Division, but only Mutu's original school had won against Beichuan once.However, because it is a points competition, Mutu's school missed the top five.

Yi Qingyao choked for a moment, then smiled, and when he turned around, Hoshino Hideichi saw a cross protruding from Qingyao's forehead.

Hoshino Hideichi looked at Qingyao like this and laughed in a low voice: "Do you think the younger generation is getting less and less cute?"

"Huh." Yi Qingyao uttered a syllable, "I think that I might cooperate with this kind of junior in the future, and I have a toothache."

"Senior's toothache is probably due to eating too much sugar." Shosuke Shinagawa said obediently from the side.

Yi Qingyao immediately turned to Hoshino Yingyi and said, "You're right, the juniors are really becoming less and less cute."

The game was about to start soon, and the number of people in the stands near the No. [-] court was obviously much higher than that of the No. [-] court. Even the people with the official badge of the Volleyball Association on their chests were sitting in the stands of the No. [-] court.

In this match between Ice Empress and Kadokawa, winning or losing represents whether everyone's evaluation of Ice Empress can be improved to a higher level.

Kobayashi patted Sakakihara on the shoulder, passed the tape in his hand, and then raised his hand to let Sakakihara wrap his joints without any trouble: "Asi wraps me just right every time. This skill Very useful."

Sakakihara Division tore off the tape from the edge, and wrapped it around Kobayashi Yuan's wrist: "Senior, you have to learn to light up this skill yourself."

"Does Asi mean that you don't want to wrap my knuckles? Ah, senior, I'm a little sad." Kobayashi Yuan looked at Sakakihara's head with a bit of sadness in his tone, but he had a narrow smile on his face.

Secretary Sakakihara didn't even raise his head: "I'm just afraid that the next time seniors come to me and say 'Mom, please wrap my fingers for me'." Don't think he doesn't know that these seniors have secretly said that he is becoming more and more like an old lady Such words.

Kobayashi Yuan: "..." Why did he want to tease Sakakibara?

After hearing the conversation between the two, Yusheng Shimizu silently gave the senior a sympathetic and comforting look.

"This match will be very difficult, both sides..." Yi Qingyao took out a piece of candy from his pocket, removed the candy wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth, "Um...it tastes like grapes."

Hidei Hoshino glanced at Qingyao in disgust, that brand of grape-flavored candy had such a strange taste that Qingyao could eat it so happily: "Looking at the previous games, Ice Emperor is very good at attacking, but Kadokawa is the best at defending. So To be honest...it's pretty interesting. But..."

The two looked at Shinagawa Shosuke sitting behind him in tacit understanding, and the latter was startled by the stares of the two seniors: "What's wrong, senior?"

——This kid should fall asleep in the middle, right?

Hoshino Eiichi and Ichi Qingyao thought at the same time.

The whistle sounded for the first game, and Kadokawa started.

Sakakihara stood in the second position, and at the same time the opponent's serving number three tossed the ball up, he stepped forward and changed positions with Iriezawa.The offensive points in the front row have become Comet Sato, Irie Zezawa, and Akira Takishima in the back row. After being tortured by Sakakibara for so long, Hyotei's first pass can be said to be a qualitative leap compared to before.

There is always a basis for quantitative change to qualitative change.

Even though the opponent was jumping serve, Kohei Namae seemed to know where the landing point was. When the ball fell, Kohei Namae was already ready to give a well-placed first pass.

Sakakihara faced the net sideways, as if he was going to pass to the fourth position to attack. Kadokawa's block was also very calm, and he didn't move in advance. He kept staring at Sakakihara's hand to see who he was passing to.

But since Sakakihara began training with coach Ogura in the club, his unnecessary small movements every time he passed the ball have been corrected. Even coach Ogura said that if he hadn't practiced with Sakakihara for a long time, sometimes he couldn't see it. Who is he going to pass the ball to when he comes out.

Kadokawa's two-person block gambled, preparing to stop Sato Comet.

Sakakihara Division's fingers that were originally bent together suddenly turned into a palm and gave a second attack.

Kadokawa's front row players had no time to react, and when the sixth position and the setter dived to save the ball, they only encountered the re-bouncing ball.

Sakakihara Tsukasa condescended and calmly glanced at the two boys looking up, then turned around and walked towards the baseline to prepare to serve.

Ice Emperor broke Kadokawa's serve at 1:0.

Kobayashi reached out and slapped Tsukasa Sakakibara, and moved to the fourth position. Although Kobayashi had mentioned to Tsukasa Sakakihara that he could play the May [-]st equipment when warming up before the start of the game, so that Tsukasa Sakakibara could return to the main offensive position, but Tsukasa Sakakihara was defeated dismissed.

"Senior Kobayashi's words are quite reasonable." Mr. Sakakihara held the ball and thought about it, and then said seriously, "But I'm playing two or four."

Xiao Linyuan: "..."

Sato Comet: "..."

Qing Shui Yousheng: "..." Tyrant, tyrant!

The whistle of the serve brought Kobayashi Yuan back to his senses. He stood behind Sato Comet and did not pass Sato Comet’s feet to avoid offside fouls. Comet into Jiangze and prepare to block together.

Kobayashi had always known that Kadokawa Gakuen had a solid foundation, but he never expected that Sakakihara's third jump serve would be able to catch up to the opposite side. Although there was no offense, he could already imagine that when the fifth serve was served, the opponent would definitely Can be received.

After calming down for a while, Kobayashi Yuan prepared to toss the ball to Sato Comet and prepare to attack.Kobayashi Yuan's back pass is a toss that Sakakihara once said was very good, but it is also the result of his uninterrupted training every day, and there is nothing to be proud of.

Kobayashi Yuan thought so, and a back pass was passed to Sato Hui.

Comet Sato's offensive spike was picked up by Kadokawa's No. 11 free agent.

Yi Qingyao in the stands watched the ball and suddenly chewed the candy in his mouth, making a crunching sound.

Hoshino Eiichi originally thought that Kadokawa would be able to recover a point if he attacked, but he didn't expect Ice Emperor's defense to surprise him: "Ice Emperor's defense is also so good? Why didn't you notice it before?"

Yi Qingyao's mouth was full of grape flavor, and he licked off the last bit of crumbs sticking to his teeth. While peeling off another candy wrapper, he said: "The previous team's offensive ability is not as strong as Kadokawa's."

"What flavor?" Hoshino Hideo glanced at the identical candy wrappers.

All of Qingyao's expressions were wrinkled together: "Mango."

Then Hoshino Hideichi heard the other party bite the sugar that had just been put in his mouth with a "click", and then began to crunch it again, Hoshino Hideichi suddenly felt a pain in his teeth.
