Volleyball: The Time of Resonance

In the following match, although Senran tried his best to catch up with his tenacious defense and solid basic skills, Yinju's momentum had completely taken hold.

Yoru Eisuke's defense was impenetrable, Kuroo Tetsuro's blocking predictions became increasingly accurate, and Yamamoto Kogo's powerful spikes repeatedly tore through the defense.

Meanwhile, Yinchuan Mianye and Kozaki Kenmo continued to put on an unexpected yet precise attack on their opponent's weaknesses.

Finally, when Mori Ran's main attacker's powerful spike was saved by Yoru's leap and flew towards Makino, Kozume Makino didn't even look at it, and with a flick of his wrist, quickly sent a back pass to the quietly advancing Ginkawa Myako.

The formidable blocker hesitated for a moment, and in that brief hesitation, the brown-haired sheep chose the simplest and most unpretentious straight shot.

The ball landed with a thud.

The whistle blew long as it signaled the end of the practice match.

"Well, is this what childhood friends are like?" Yoruichi sighed as he hydrated.

"Hahaha, how about it! Envious, aren't you!" Kuroo Tetsuro suddenly appeared out of nowhere and slapped his own free agent.

"Kuroo! Tetsu! Ryo!" Yoruichi Eisuke was slapped so hard he almost fell to the ground, especially since he hadn't been able to stand properly at all!

A vein popped out on his forehead, and just before he was about to explode, he suddenly remembered something. A smirk appeared on his lips. "Do you have any scenes today, Kuroo? What does your childhood friend have to do with you? It's not like we have any chemistry."

"ha???"

"You damned Yagu Eisuke, explain yourself clearly!"

"I'm the captain! Show me some respect!! Damn it!!"

......

An ellipsis appeared above Guzhao's head as he turned away, no longer looking at the other side, and silently sat down with the sheep on the bench.

There are still two hours of training left after the training match ends in a little while... I should take this time to rest.

The blue-eyed sheep rubbed its knees, its expression gradually turning into X_X

It feels great to jump and score, but once it's over, some previously ignored sensations become more noticeable as your body cools down.

Kozume noticed Mianye's dejection and naturally began rubbing her head, moving down to the back of her head and then her back, pulling her into his arms.

Although she couldn't completely cover him, she was still very attentive in comforting her big brother who was a month younger than her.

Just as the two cats were about to fall asleep, they could hear Furutani and Ikugawa patting the volleyball and talking in their ears.

"HEY! HEY! HEY!" the owl laughed as it scored with a spike!

The sudden loud noise made the two cats bristle and angrily lick each other's fur.

......

On the other side—

"Akareshi! Give it to me!" Kotaro Bokuto shouted.

After Coach Anro arranged for Sakuragi Michiichi to play one game, he then arranged for Akaashi Kyoji to play another game. After all, the two would become new partners after IH, and it was better for them to get used to each other sooner rather than rushing things in Spring High.

Akaashi's pass arrived as expected, with impeccable height and positioning.

The wooden rabbit takes a running start and leaps, unleashing its full power in an instant, then swings its arm to smash—

Ikawa's double block was precise and accurate, but Bokuto's ball, with superior power and angle, exploded between the blockers and landed straight at the baseline.

"Thump—!"

"Good shot! Did you see that? My straight shot!" Wood Rabbit raised his arms high after landing.

...... ......

It was better than I expected. I thought Fukutani would finish the game quickly, but I didn't expect that the two cauldrons from Ikugawa High School would drag the game out for nearly 15 minutes.

The coach wasn't a devil either, and gave them another 15 minutes to rest.

Take a half-hour break...

How could this be...?

So tired—

A 15-minute low-intensity dynamic activation session, consisting of jogging around the field, incorporating crossover steps, high knees, and back kicks.

A quick offensive turn after 30 minutes of defensive counter-attacks.

A 20-minute limited-time competition...

Yinchuan Mianye promptly lay down on the ground after the coach waved and called out, bent her legs, stretched out her arms to hug her knees, and curled up into a ball.

"Mianye?" Kuroo Tetsuro, who was standing nearby, asked with some concern.

After two hours of training, Yinchuan Mian didn't want to say a word.

With my ear pressed against the ground, I could hear my own heart pounding.

The arms holding my legs could feel the warm, aching sensation slowly seeping from every crevice of my bones and muscles, and my calf muscles were throbbing.

A large, hot, damp hand touched her neck. Yinchuan Mian, who was barely alive, unusually did not respond while she was conscious, remaining motionless and letting the other person do as they pleased.

Actually, I was about to lose consciousness...

"Don't sleep in the middle of the field." Kuroo Tetsuro was also too exhausted to carry his kitten away, so he could only helplessly pinch the kitten's cheek.

The other domestic kitten was completely still. After waiting a minute, the coaches took turns kicking the children, urging them to do stretches.

As Kuroo Tetsuro noticed, most schools were in the same situation as Nekoma, with most people already exhausted. However, at Fubuki Valley's place, especially with a certain owl, things were still going strong.

"......" We're both high school students, so why are you so abrupt?

Yinchuan Mianye's vision began to blur, and the boy sniffed—he really wanted to sleep.

My eyelids were completely out of my control, and my consciousness was about to be pulled into darkness.

Then a foot kicked him in the buttocks, neither too hard nor too soft.

"Get up, hurry up and do some stretching." Ikawa's coach, who was completely unaffected by the other coaches' reluctance to do so, kicked the child.

I was kicked in a sensitive spot by a stranger.

Yinchuan Mianye's eyes widened in an instant, and her hands, which were originally wrapped around her knees, instantly moved behind her back to protect her buttocks.

"puff--"

Seeing the coach approach, Kuroo Tetsuro, who deliberately didn't warn him, smiled happily.

"I'm watching you, Mianye. Now that you've rested, do your stretching."

Kozume silently crawled to the edge of the bench, gripped the edge with both hands, and rested his head on his left arm.

Looking at Hisense, I felt like my brain had been wandering for a while.

Before I could even remind the little conductor not to sleep, Kuroo Tessou finished up with one of his childhood friends and started working on this.

Hisense is truly amazing; Kuroo Tetsurou really loves them.

Only after seeing that both Kuroo Tetsurou had finished stretching properly did I feel at ease enough to go out and socialize.

A head with straight black hair and a head with curly brown hair pressed together, and then the golden and blue eyes closed one after the other.
