Volleyball: The Time of Resonance

He quite liked Otoko's everyday uniform.

"Catholic" style: white shirt, red tie, black sweater vest, dark blue suit jacket and gray trousers.

The school doesn't require everyone to wear them every day, but today was the freshman ceremony, so everyone wore them.

"Alright, everyone's here." Kuroo Tetsurou clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and then gave the middle seat to the senior high school student.

Yinchuan Mian also narrowed her eyes. So Xiao Hei wasn't the captain?

15-year-old Yinchuan Mian is not short, but not tall either; at 175 cm, she is not particularly tall among volleyball players.

The senior students walked smugly to the middle, with three junior students standing neatly to their right.

Kuro is a second-year student, Yoru-senpai is a second-year student, so the other unknown senpai must also be a second-year student.

As expected, Xiao Hei was more reliable, Yin Chuanmian thought to herself.

Before any formal self-introductions could begin, a person with an unfriendly expression suddenly appeared in front of Yinchuan Mianye, attracting everyone's attention.

The man, wearing glasses, glanced at Yinchuan Mianye with feigned disdain.

"?"

"Hey, aren't you called Yinchuan... something like that? Never mind, it doesn't matter. You're the main attacker at Yinju Junior High, right?"

The little sheep noticed its companion Mushroom Cat's discomfort first, and took a small step forward and to the side to shield its friend behind it.

"Yes, it's me." Yin Chuanmian had no desire to say more to this person and her attitude was quite indifferent.

The other party deliberately didn't call me by my full name, Kozume Kenma.

Everyone knows that Yinchuan Mian is also a key player in Yinju Junior High School, and their self-introduction here just now wasn't quiet.

After secretly sizing him up, Kozume Kenma felt there was a 90% chance this person was a main attacker.

I'm worried that Mian will steal my spot too.

The high school senior wearing glasses clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"How should I talk to my senior?"

The newcomer was clearly in a troublemaking mood, while the senior high school students behind him chatted amongst themselves, looking very relaxed and carefree, with not a single one willing to step in and stop them.

Hisense frowned. He knew that among the new students were two of Kuroo Tetsurou's childhood friends. He subconsciously looked at the other person and was startled by Kuroo Tetsurou's gloomy face.

"Use your mouth." The boy's tone was calm and indifferent, showing no concern for him.

Yinchuan Mianye disliked strangers, and he was even less likely to give face to such a so-called senior.

"Are you the captain?" Yinchuan Mianye stared straight at him with her blue eyes, seemingly asking a question.

Yamada Ichiro glared back dangerously. "Of course not."

"Oh, I guessed it." The blue-eyed boy tilted his head slightly.

"you!"

"My name is Yinchuan Mianye, you've got the wrong name." Yinchuan Mianye's response was to the first sentence the newcomer uttered, successfully silencing the other party. The gunpowder that had been silenced was no longer harmful.

Yamamoto Takeshi's eyes lit up again and again. Cool!

A senior in high school couldn't sit still any longer. He just wanted to see the freshmen have a good time, not for the seniors to lose face.

"Alright, Yamada Ichiro." The person wearing the number 1 captain's uniform patted Yamada Ichiro on the shoulder.

"My name is Murakamori, I'm a third-year student, and I'm the captain of the volleyball team."

Yinchuan Mian also inexplicably disliked this person and chose to be a quiet sheep.

The atmosphere became extremely tense for a moment.

Kozume Kenma lowered his head further and further. This was troublesome. This person named Murakamori was clearly the leader of the senior class. He was trying to put pressure on Wataru with this self-introduction.

It's just a club, but it's so troublesome... The astute Mushroom Cat had already foreseen what life would bring, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.

Can I leave now before I officially join the club...?

Yamamoto crossed his arms, surprised that the opponent was indeed the captain. Wouldn't that mean the others wearing the Nekoma team uniforms were starting players? A sense of disappointment welled up inside him.

Yoruichi glanced at Murakamori with disdain and stepped forward to break the increasingly strange atmosphere.

As the only libero in the entire volleyball team, Yoru Eisuke has the right to challenge everyone.

Kuroo Tetsuro clenched his fists and sighed. He had previously thought that he would get the volleyball club in order before Kozume Kenma and Ginkawa Mina also joined the club.

But when it came time to hand over the captaincy, the person who had originally agreed to take over was replaced by Murakamori.

As one of only two middle blockers, Murakamori didn't deliberately target anyone, but the environment within the volleyball club became even more chaotic.

On the first day of joining the club, everyone ended the self-introduction session rather unpleasantly.

The already quiet sheep fell silent.

Grade 11: Kozume Kenma (setter), Fukunaga Shohei (outside hitter), Yamamoto Taketaka (outside hitter), Ginkawa Myaya (outside hitter).

Grade 11: Kuroo Tetsurou (middle blocker), Hishinyuki (outside hitter), Yoru Eisuke (libero).

Senior 3: Muraka Mori (outside hitter), Yamada Ichiro (outside hitter), Inoshita Takashi (setter), Ichiichi Shizuka (middle blocker), Tani Taro (outside hitter), Matsugami Ichiji (outside hitter).

The club only has 13 people, including freshmen.

That's bad enough, but out of 13 people, 8 are main attackers...

They were a team that almost couldn't even implement a complete rotation system.

The new students didn't bring much besides volleyball shoes. After Tetsuro Kuroo emphasized the club activity schedule for tomorrow, he dismissed the new students.

It's only 4 o'clock? Yinchuan Mian also opened her phone, feeling a sense of novelty.

Even back in my third year of junior high, I would finish my club's daily training around 6 p.m. This was the first time I'd been able to go home so early after joining the volleyball club.

The sheep turned its head to look at its friend, Mushroom Cat, and found that he was playing a game.

"Is Moyan a little unhappy?" Sheep blinked. Moyan must have used the wrong skill just now, right? He must have used the wrong skill! Otherwise, why would he use the heal skill when he was at full health?

"Hmm." Kozume Kenma didn't hide his true thoughts. "It feels even worse than I imagined."

Yinchuan Mian nodded in agreement, "Thinking about it this way, Xiao Hei is amazing! He loves volleyball so much, yet he didn't choose to quit even in such a terrible environment."

Ah... it's a reduplicated word. Has Mianye been reading shoujo manga again lately?

"Xiao Hei won't give up volleyball; he'll just find a way to solve it."

"So passionate, so responsible," the sheep praised the black cat.

"I get tired and disappointed too." Mushroom Cat noticed the negative information.

"Is this a trial for the volleyball god?" The sheep tried to find a new perspective.

"Does such a god really exist?" Mushroom Cat thought it was unbelievable.

"Little Black says it exists!" The sheep found the evidence.

"Xiao Hei also said you don't sleep in class." Mushroom found evidence to refute this.

Yes, as the third year of junior high school was about to end, the three of them gathered at Mianye's home in Yinchuan.

Xiao Hei always got along surprisingly well with the parents. During their conversation, he blurted out the lie that the sheep classmate never slept in class without batting an eye.

The two found a flower bed to sit on while they talked, and quietly waited to be taken away by the long black cat.
