[Volleyball] Ace Defense

"Huh?" Oi Chuanche didn't expect to get this answer at all, and his eyes widened slightly in surprise, a little dazed.

"I lost to Oikawa-senpai, and I feel very unwilling, so, so I decided not to see Oikawa-senpai again until the next time we play volleyball together!" He mustered up the courage to say this, but in the end Hinata Xiangyang still looked away, for no reason The distance between him, Oi Chuanche, and him is too close. You can feel the hot breath from the other party on the top of your head. There is only a fist between the chest and the chest. You can even hear the sound of the other party's heart beating, and you can smell the other party's breath. The smell of fresh detergent on clothes.The aroma of trees.

Unconsciously tense up, wanting to break free from Ji Chuanche's shackles.He wanted to pretend to be calm and seriously explain why he was avoiding Oi Chuanche, but his hot ears betrayed him, so he had no choice but to perfunctory with his eyes wandering.In the next second, Oi Chuanche covered his ears with his hands, forcing him to look up—Hinata Xiangyang originally thought that he would see Oi Chuanche's angry face, but no, it was a dumbfounding expression.

"Because I'm not reconciled to losing, so I want to hide and train secretly before the next game? And then if I beat me in the next game, are you willing to talk to me?" With a helpless smile, Oikawa Toru looked at Hinata Xiangyang Chick nodded as if pecking at rice, and had an urge to take a look at Hinata Xiangyang's brain structure, "But I promised not to see me again, why did Xiang-chan still come to see my game this afternoon? This is also a violation Did you promise yourself?"

"...No, because you didn't talk to Oikawa-senpai that way, so it doesn't count." He was confident, but his voice was a little weak.

"But isn't this very cunning, Xiang-chan is only allowed to see me, but I cannot see Xiang-chan." Oi Chuanche sighed.

"I want Oikawa-senpai to see me who has become stronger. Now I am able to stand on the court because of Kageyama, but next time, I hope that Oikawa-senpai sees me standing on the field relying on my true strength." The me on the court!" Taking a deep breath, Hinata Xiangyang finally said all the words.The heaviness in my heart also disappeared.

During the game, Hinata Xiangyang has been thinking about this.This game allowed him to really see everyone's strength. Needless to say, everyone on Karasuno's side was great (except him), and on the west side of Aoba Castle, Iwaizumi showed a higher level than the practice game. level, and Ji Chuanche is also very powerful as a setter.Only he didn't rely on his true strength to stand on the court: he often made mistakes in his serve, and he also admitted that he was bad at catching the ball. Apart from his jumping ability and running ability, he didn't have any characteristics.

Although he never felt inferior because of the fact that he was able to stand on the field because of Kageyama Tobio's toss, but in the match against Aoba Josai, he discovered his own shortcomings, or it should be said, he discovered that he had the same The Achilles' heel of combined attacks between Tobio Kageyama.When he saw the smooth cooperation between Aoba Castle West, and reflected on his own cooperation with Kageyama Feixiong, he realized that the cooperation between him and Kageyama Feixiong was really too monotonous.

The invisible pass was deciphered a long time ago. As long as the naked eye keeps up with this speed, it is not impossible to intercept it. When playing against Date Industry, Takanobu Aone successfully passed the invisible pass. The ball was intercepted; using ordinary fast breaks, or large-scale running attacks, as long as the ball is used, it can be cracked.If the current Karasuno can win against some mediocre teams, but once he meets a real strong team, he will be defeated.

not enough.It's not enough yet.It is not enough to have an invisible pass or a large-scale running attack. It is necessary to become stronger and stronger in order to be able to stay on the court for a long time.If he didn't make any progress, then Karasuno would only be at a good level in this county.To advance to the national competition and stand on the national stage, there is no way to achieve it by relying on Tokio Kageyama alone.

"However, the match with Xiang-chan was wonderful." He Chuanche rubbed Hinata Xiangyang's soft cheeks vigorously with a smile, "Such a tricky Xiang-chan, I really want to bury him."

"Eh, eh?" Hinata Xiangyang became dumbfounded.

"Today's game is over, why don't we go eat something first? After exercising, I feel very hungry. So recover, Xiang-chan - let's go to the ramen shop!" clapping hands together, with a crisp voice Hinata Xiangyang came back to his senses, Oikawa Toru smiled and pulled Hinata Xiangyang to the ramen shop near the gymnasium.

Today's game ended very early, and there was a long tug-of-war with Hinata Xiangyang. When we came to the ramen shop, there were not many people in the shop.Find a seat in the corner, order two ramen, and neither party speaks for 5 minutes.Oikawa rested his chin and looked at Xiangyang Hyuga in front of him, while Xiangyang Hyuga lowered his head and stared at a small piece of oil on the table.

It wasn't until now that he realized that he seemed too rigid.Ahhh, how did you say something like "I lost to Oikawa-senpai, and I feel very unwilling, so, so I decided not to see Oikawa-senpai again until the next time we play volleyball together!"?Thinking about it now, I feel very ashamed, I feel like an unreasonable child, so now I feel very embarrassed, I don't know what expression to use to face Oi Chuanche.

But when Hinata Xiangyang was hesitating about how to break the awkward silence, Oi Chuanche spoke first, "Xiang-chan will watch my game tomorrow, right?"

"Eh?" After being stunned for a moment, Hinata Xiangyang nodded, "I will go. Speaking of which, I remember it was a match against Shiratorizawa High School?" Seeing Oikawa nodding slightly, he licked his lips, "Will it be?" It was a very intense match, because last time I saw the introduction of Shiratorizawa's ace player in the monthly volleyball magazine... It seems to be called "Super High School Ace"? Oikawa seems to have lost to Shirakawa when he was in junior high school Torizawa—"

"The last sentence is completely needless to say, Xiang-chan!"

The ramen was served, steaming hot and exuding a tempting aroma.Reddish chilli oil floats on top of the bone broth.Cut half of the marinated egg.Green onion.Barbecued pork and shredded bamboo shoots neatly placed on the edge.Looking at it makes people swallow.The hot noodles entered the mouth, and the high temperature made the tongue numb, but there was a special pleasure.Fresh and tender meat slices, spicy soup.When eating, you can completely throw away all your troubles.The body is recharged with energy.

"Senior Oikawa, I've been thinking about it for a long time... In fact, I learned a lot in the match against Aoba Josai." He swallowed a big bowl of ramen and patted his stomach in satisfaction, Sho Hinata Yang Cai officially got to the point, "I feel the strength of Oi Chuan and Aoba Castle West, but I still have many shortcomings. Although I have been thinking about it and want to make progress, I don't know where to start. I'm a little confused...but I have an intuition that Oikawa-senpai will definitely be able to give me the answer."

"Recognizing your own shortcomings is the beginning of progress." He sincerely praised, but in the next second He Chuanche put on a sly smile, "But why did you tell Xiang-chan, Mingming Xiang-chan is an enemy, Why should I unreservedly tell the enemy how to become stronger?"

Hyuga Xiangyang was stunned for a minute before he could react.Although he knew that Oi Chuan Toru was playing tricks on him, he couldn't help but blushed, "Because I know that Oi Chuan-senpai will tell me the answer, and Oi Chuan-senpai is not that kind of person."

(What kind of person, what kind of person?)

It's not that I haven't been asked for advice before, and I was also asked by Tobio Kageyama how to hit a strong serve.At that time, because he felt that his position as the setter was threatened, he made a rash move. Although he was reprimanded by Iwaizumi, he was cautious.He also has different emotions like ordinary people, he can be angry and jealous.He hates this feeling of being trusted without reservation, or should I say he is afraid of this feeling of being trusted.

Because only he himself knows his own essence.

He saw Hinata Xiangyang's eyes.Pure, without any other complicated emotions.Warm, able to soothe the wrinkled heart.

He held his breath, and finally exhaled, propping his chin with one hand, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, "So, has Xiang-chan ever thought about leaving Feixiong?"

"...Get off, leave Kageyama?" This was a hugely impactful answer. Hinata Xiangyang had considered a lot of answers that Oikawa Toru would give, but he never thought about Oikawa Toru giving such an answer.That was a possibility he had never considered.

leave?What is separation?Why do you want to leave?

Hinata Xiangyang stared at Oi Chuanche in astonishment, his mind went blank.He saw the other party showing a relaxed expression.

"Didn't Xiang-chan say that I was able to become a member of the official selection because of Feixiong, so the first prerequisite for improving is to rely on my own strength to become a member of the official selection? If you don't leave Feixiong, Xiang-chan But you will never be able to get rid of Feixiong's dependence?" Ji Chuanche played with the straw inserted in the drink cup, stirring the juice one by one, "The setter is only responsible for passing the ball, but it cannot turn another person into a real person. Xiang-chan will never become a real trump card if you don’t leave Feixiong, right?”
