What surprised everyone present happened in an instant. Miraculously, after Iwaizumi was replaced, Ushishima's spike was stopped for the first time.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the air in the gymnasium began to stagnate.

The volleyball reflected in Chiho's eyes seemed to be falling from Ushijima's side at an extremely slow speed, gently and slowly, and then bounced high from the floor.

Although Ozaki-senpai had rushed to the net to save him, it was still a step too late.

——She still can't forget the look in Niu Dao's eyes after being stopped.

There are shocks, doubts, unwillingness, and so much complicated content that she can hardly understand it.

She didn't know if Udo had been stopped like this before.

——But it must be something he hasn't tasted for a long, long time.

In the following games, Ushido was out of shape.

Ushishima Wakari, whom Shiratorizawa's seniors trusted and she knew well, tasted defeat in the first real competition in middle school.

Not long after, Beichuan No. [-] Middle School celebrated the victory with roars that rang through the sky, but the sound was like thorns, piercing deeply into the hearts of the Shironozawa team members.

The big white bird soaring with wings was trapped by bushes when it took off for the first time.

Oikawa's plan was perfectly implemented with the cooperation of his teammates.

He high-fives with his best mate Iwaizumi, who had saved them in the third game, surrounded by his seniors, his hair rumpled.

So this is how he felt about defeating Niu Ruojiang, he thought, neither happy nor bad.

Ushishima sat in a chair in a daze, he ignored Chiba and Saito's cold eyes, Kujo and Ozaki's encouragement to him, and Bei Dao's silent towel around his neck.

It's not that he doesn't want to respond, it's just that he can't say anything.

It was like being surrounded by an invisible wall of air, isolated from the whole world.

"Ruoli, it's time to go." A girl's voice sounded in the empty gymnasium.

People from Beichuan No. [-] Middle School had left early, and the seniors and other members of the department also packed up their things and said goodbye to her.

After tidying up the utensils, Chiho came out of the storage room, and saw that Ushijima was still sitting on the opposite chair, motionless.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on him through the window, but the other side of his body was sunk in shadow.

She called softly, but Ushijima still didn't respond at all.

Alas, this is not like him.

Chiho shook her head, pursed her lips and walked quickly towards him.

The footsteps of "da da da" came from far to near, and Niu Dao lowered his head, and a pair of white sneakers he was familiar with appeared in his sight.

The pure white shoes were well maintained and shone golden in the setting sun.

He looked up.

Chiho saw that his expression was unusually calm.

"Who are you? Have you been possessed by someone?" Chiho put her hands on his shoulders and patted him hard twice.

Niu Dao finally choked out a sentence: "What is this, comfort me?"

"No..." Chiho withdrew her hand, turned around, took a deep breath, and shouted at the air in front of her with the loudest decibels she could emit: "Give me back Ruoli! You bastards— —!!!”

The words were clearly blaming something, but they were extremely sad.

Chiho didn't want to get angry at anyone, but a nameless emotion disturbed her thoughts, so she vented it out in this way.

Ushido looked at her back and suddenly heard it.

—Tick tock, tick tock.

It was the sound of tears falling on the floor.

"Let's go, Chiho." Ushishima stood up, walked in front of her, took the towel off his neck and covered her face.

"Wow Ruoli has your sweat on it, take it away for me! Don't you think it's dirty! Cough cough cough cough...I'm going to vomit, I'll spit you all over—!" Chiho scratched The towel covering his face was mad.

He will never forget, let alone be depressed, Ushishima Ruori never doubts himself.

There will never be any more, be it defeat or Chiho's tears.

—none of which he liked to see.

——LINE news——

Yasuhara Chiho: Zero, we lost today's training match.Ruoli's opponent was blocked, and we failed to overtake in the end. It's a pity, please comfort (╯3╰)

---------

Kiriyama Rei's hands that were about to type froze, and he didn't know how to reply.

He is not a child who is very good at comforting others. Although he wants to do something for An Yuan, he is still very sensitive, afraid of making the other party sad by saying the wrong thing.

Zero himself was also confused.

Life after becoming a professional chess player did not make his life better.

Still the same as before, alone, go to school, eat, go to the chess club, and go home.

Loneliness is like a pool of stagnant water, enveloping him heavily and slowing down his progress.

Lost the game... He stared at the phone screen.

Yasuhara and the others still have a chance to win back, right?

If I lose at shogi, I have nothing.

He pondered for a while, then moved his fingers again.

——LINE news——

Xiaoling: Come on, I will win again.

---------

Chiho sat on the bed, hugged the doll bear in front of her and smiled.

Xiao Ling is really a very gentle person.

So what about Jolly...?

Seeing the look on Udo's face after she took off the towel today, suddenly burst into memories.

His expression at that time was so gentle that she almost cried again.

Chiho held Xiong's hands tightly.

The soft touch stretches out.

She got out of bed and went to the desk, spread out the notebook that senior Kutiao gave her, sorted out the situation of today's game based on her memories and records, and thought about the possibility of their next step.

During the second day's department activities, everyone was still doing preparatory activities as usual, and it seemed that they had come out of yesterday's failure.

Niu Dao also returned to his usual state, practicing offense with Bei Dao on the court.

Chiho walked over and whispered something to Kujo, and Kujo immediately called everyone over for a meeting.

"Ah Guang, what's the matter?" Saito sat on the ground, half-closed his eyes and asked the captain.

"Manager Yasuhara has something to tell everyone~" Kujo replied with a smile, and reminded Chiho beside him, "Say it."

"Okay, thank you, Senior Kutiao."

Chiho cleared her throat, and continued, "About yesterday's training match, I analyzed it carefully. Some people may think it's wrong to rely too much on Ushijima's tactics."

She paused for a moment, observing the reactions of the team members, some nodded frequently, while others were noncommittal.

Chiho went on to say: "But this kind of thinking is fundamentally wrong in volleyball. Every strong team should have its own style, and Beichuan No. [-] Middle School is undoubtedly a team built around their ace setter Cooperation, and after yesterday's game, I figured out that we just misunderstood the established tactical system before, but this does not mean that this system is wrong."

"So I think we urgently need to make psychological adjustments in the past two days. The problem that was exposed from the second round of yesterday's game is actually that everyone has conflicts in their minds. Udo is a new member after all, even though it has been going on for a while We have only reached a basic tacit understanding."

"Someone may ask, Oi Chuan from Beichuan No. [-] Middle School is also a new member, why they got along so well with the seniors in a short period of time."

"Yes, I really wanted to ask just now, so why?" Subaru Tamura raised his hand. The more he listened, the more he admired the manager who had just taken office, acting like a student who was listening to the teacher's lecture seriously.

"It's very simple. That's because Oikawa's position is different from Ushido's. Oikawa is the setter and is the core of the team's offense. Who he passes the ball to and how he passes it will directly determine the team's offensive and defensive rhythm. Therefore, Beichuan No. [-] Middle School changed their entire offensive and defensive system due to the change of the setter during practice. After a period of running-in, the blood of the team can form a new circulation; Ushido is the main attacker, the last link of the team's offensive rhythm, Once the ball is hit, it will determine whether the team can score. And when Udo’s ball is blocked by the opponent—”

Chiho prolonged her voice, intending to emphasize the point of her argument: "It's when other players make up and become the core of our attack in turn."

Her eyes wandered to Udo, who was staring straight at her.

In fact, Chiho hesitated for a while since she made up her mind to change Ushijima's original policy last night.

It's not that she doesn't trust Ushido's strength, it's just that she has to do it in order to make the team stronger.

With his current strength, he is not enough to take on the offensive tasks of the entire team.

Ushido's powerful spike will indeed be blocked, she has already witnessed it yesterday.

At noon, when Chiho told Ushijima her thoughts nervously, he admitted it openly.

"I'm really not qualified right now," he said. "Just do what you said first. But as long as I have more time, I will prove that I have the strength to let everyone entrust the ball to me."

"Eh?" Chiho was stunned, she didn't expect Ushijima to be so honest.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, I will prove it to you."

"No, that's not what I meant...Ruoli, your personality is surprisingly good at times."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"I'm not complimenting you!" Chiho couldn't tell whether he was really smart or really stupid: "In short, I am quite looking forward to the scene you mentioned~ If everyone would throw the ball to him without hesitation Lee, what will it be like...?"

"Just wait and see."

"Okay~ okay~ I'm looking forward to it." Chiho replied half-jokingly, if such a day really happened, what would Ruori be like.

She began to seriously expect and believe.

Ushido's self-confidence is never unfounded, she thinks he can do it.

Chiho's proposal was accepted by everyone.

The seniors all expressed that they want to show their appearance as seniors, and they can't always let Udo steal the limelight.

The training around the new system started quickly, and there were two days before the qualifiers. It was not too late. The main players all practiced spontaneously until night fell before going home.

Since they have returned to the style of play they were accustomed to before, the seniors seem to be able to do a job with ease.

Ushido also resumed his regular style of play as the main attacker, participating in normal catches and blocks.

However, one day, the big white bird will break through the thorns and fly to the sky.

The author has something to say:

I'm sorry I didn't win. The story is set at this time. Udo is not as scary as when he was in the third year of high school hahaha (and he lost to Karasuno in the original work)

Up to this chapter, the story of the first year of junior high school has come to an end.What?What about the qualifiers?Of course, Beichuan No. [-] Middle School won. As for why, let’s see the outcome in the next chapter~

After that, the information of the last candidate has been updated, and he is also the next captain to succeed Kujo:
