Volleyball: The Time of Resonance

Under the sun, the players displayed their strong, well-defined muscles and dark skin. Everyone in the game had an extremely cheerful personality, and they would shout happily during the game.

Yinchuan Mian also shrank back and looked at Kozume Mamoru, and sure enough, she found the other party's extremely uncomfortable gaze.

Yes, it's a mushroom that grows in a dark corner, and it looks like it's been exposed to the glaring sunlight!

"Wow, that's amazing!" Kuroo Tetsuro exclaimed, his eyes wide.

In the previous match, the red team members hit the ball high into the sky, almost out of the camera's view. The white team members, who had their eyes on the ball the whole time, completely missed it when they tried to catch it!

"Wow, even their underhand serve is this powerful!"

Kozume Kenma watched the match for two seconds, then thought, "This kind of play also exists in indoor volleyball, I think it's called... the ceiling serve?"

"Huh? It's okay indoors too! Calling it a serve from the ceiling... I hope it doesn't hit the ceiling instead?"

Kuroo Tetsurou touched his chin, comparing the scene from the video to the indoor setting. No matter how he looked at it, it looked like it was smashing into the ceiling and then crashing back and forth.

Kozume Kenma shook his head. "I don't know. I can look it up later."

"Yeah, let's keep watching the game!"

Yinchuan Mianye's attention wasn't on the sky; he was focused on the sand beneath the players' feet.

It's amazing! Even though the sand under my feet kept moving and creating little holes, I never fell down once!

A player who can jump this high even on sand must be even stronger in indoor volleyball.

"Not necessarily," Kuroo Tetsuro replied.

Yinchuan Mianye's hair stood on end slightly. Ah, she said it out loud...

"But they jumped very high."

"A high jump and a powerful kick are not the same thing. No matter how high you jump, if your technique is not good, it's all for nothing. Of course, all the players who can participate in the world championships are very strong!!"

Indoor volleyball is primarily a team sport involving six players. No matter how outstanding an individual is, their abilities will be limited; teamwork is key!

Kozaki Kenmo inexplicably thought of duo queue and multiplayer queue.

Ah...it's definitely different. His and Mianye's duo rankings have consistently been in the top 3, but their multiplayer rankings are only in the 300s, a difference of two zeros...

(Why don't you and Kuroo Tetsuro play duo queue? Don't ask, the answer is that someone has skill but not much, and is severely restricted to matchmaking by his childhood friend.)

A match lasts for more than an hour and a half; you can't watch it all in one go.

Kuroo Tetsurou called his two sleepy childhood friends to bed and reached out to turn off the light.

With a "click," the world plunged into darkness.

Goodnight... my foot!

At 2 a.m., Kuroo Tetsuro suddenly opened his eyes, feeling a strong numbness on the right side of his body.

He groped around on the pillow with his left hand until he found his phone. He turned on the screen and shone the light to his right. There was a sheep resting on his shoulder, its arms wrapped around his arms.

Good, looks like he's sleeping soundly.

Looking at the guy sleeping at the junction of the two blankets, Kuroo Tetsuro helplessly turned to his side and used his left hand to pull Mianya's blanket over a bit to make sure there were no gaps.

Okay, it seems I need to find a way to free my trapped right arm so it doesn't just go numb and break down.

Kuroo Tetsurou pulled outwards a bit, but realizing that this would easily wake up Mian, he gave up, opened his phone, and started searching for "how to take something from a sleeping person's arms without waking them up".

It doesn't matter whether the arm is a thing or not, the meaning is the same.

Long, calloused fingers swiped around and clicked on a post that seemed extremely relevant.

[Help Needed] Urgent! How can I remove something from a person's arms while they are fast asleep without waking them? I need help urgently!

Family, does anyone know what to do?! My brother fell asleep hugging my life-size body pillow, and I'm so afraid his drool will get on my wife!!! Ugh! What should I do? Help!

It's simple: tickle his armpit with a feather, and the instant he raises his hand, pull it away at lightning speed! Remember to hold your breath the whole time, otherwise you'll be noticed if you breathe too loudly!

I suggest using the lever principle: find two chopsticks to act as pry bars, gently pry open his elbows, and use the back of his waist as the fulcrum. This is effortless and quiet. Friendly reminder: don't pry too hard, or he'll bounce up and slap you.

On a slightly off-topic, is it possible that you could just cover him with a blanket, and then... carry him away with the pillow—isn't that just taking the pillow away?! (Just kidding!)

All of that is too much trouble. Just knock him out with a stick (not really).

Kuroo Tetsuro's eyes gradually changed from clear-headed to confused, and finally became beady.

Forget it, let's just rely on ourselves.

Kuroo Tetsuro gave up on asking netizens for advice.

Just as he had been outwitting the sleeping Mianye for a long time and finally managed to gently pry her head off his shoulder, his phone rang.

That night, Kueisuke—

The strongest guardian: The self-disciplined senior Kuro-o is still awake.

It is known that the two are contemporaries, so it is possible that Yoruichi Eisuke is trying to provoke Kuroo Tetsuro.

The little rusty leopard cat stretched out its paw and tried to scratch the black cat.

100% Pure Dog Fan: Senior Ye Jiu is still awake in the middle of the night, enjoying the night view?

The Strongest Guardian: Hehe, I just got up to go to the bathroom and happened to check my phone to see you online. You're browsing the forum in the middle of the night instead of sleeping. Do you two childhood friends know that?

100% Pure Dog Fan: I don't know.

The strongest guardian: What an exemplary captain! (Cat's sarcastic expression - jpg)

Yoruichiro pressed the flush button while opening the photo, puzzled.

The photo is not clear; you have to turn the phone's brightness up to the maximum to see the people in it.

The first photo shows Lone Claw curled up in a ball, sleeping peacefully to one side.

The second photo shows Mianye sleeping restlessly, clinging to someone's arm, but they seem very close.

Ah, childhood friends!

Yoruichi turned off his phone, deciding to ignore the other person since he had only made a casual remark (crossed out) to mock them.

Feeling better, Kuroo Tetsurou tucked his phone back under his pillow. The team uniforms would arrive in a couple of days, and the not-so-drowsy boy pondered who should get number four.

Hai doesn't rely on strong attacks; he's more inclined to receive sets.

Shohei Fukunaga is the clever type.

Yamamoto? He's quite capable, but he gets easily carried away.

The darkness before me grows ever deeper—have a good dream.
