Volleyball: The Time of Resonance

She pressed her head against Kuroo Tessou's shoulder, and mischievously kicked the shoes that had turned into a golden shaded cat, trying to get his attention.

So why do we have to continue training after the practice matches?

"Mianye, it's so hot!" Kuroo Tetsurou protested verbally, trying to make his sticky childhood friend have a change of heart.

"I can buy you ice cream!" Yinchuan Mianye muttered.

Seeing the fallen Nekoma cats, Coach Nekoma walked by with a chuckle.

"You shouldn't eat cold food right after exercising."

A rough, calloused hand pressed down on the soft, damp hair and rubbed it.

Yinchuan Mian also locked one hand around her childhood friend's throat, while raising her head with the other, "Coach Nekomata."

His eyes were red from yawning, and his moist blue eyes reflected the old man's face.

Coach Neko's already kind expression softened even more; how could this little guy be so beautiful?

Blacktail Tetsurou, whose throat was being strangled: You little lamb, how dare you try to harm me!

"Nekomatsumaru-sensei," Kuroo Tetsuro greeted obediently, trying to pry the hand that was choking him off.

I'm suffocating!!!

After the kind-faced cat coach left with his terrifying training plan, Kuroo Tetsurou pried open Ginkawa Mianye's arm, turned around and pressed the sheep down onto his lap, making a "yee" sound.

Mian, whose upper body was already lying down, adhered to the attitude of sleeping wherever she fell down and didn't get up.

Tetsuro Kuroo used this position to tie up the sheep's hair, which had already spread out like dandelions.

"Mianye, your hairstyle is too hot for summer. You should cut it if you really can't stand it."

"No!" Yinchuan Mian shook her head, and was slapped on the head.

"Don't move."

The movement here caught the attention of the exhausted golden cat.

Kozume Kenma narrowed his eyes, feeling a chill down his back. A bad premonition rose within him, and just as he shifted his position slightly to the side, Kuroo Tessou's whispered words rang out.

"It'll be cooler if you comb your hair back. It's September, you two will be so hot later."

"No, not at all," Kozume Maki muttered, having already been noticed and thus giving up resistance.

He loosely wrapped a towel around someone's neck and then pushed them up, saying, "At least take a shower before sticking up to me, it's very hot."

This

Yinchuan Mianye: "Okay."

"Maya's training volume is even higher than ours."

Coach Maoyou is very concerned about Yinchuan Mianye's sprint speed and the strength of his raised arms. However, these things cannot be achieved quickly; they can only be improved through repeated hard work and sweat.

When Yoruichi saw that Ginkawa Mian was yawning in a corner, he handed him a banana.

"Thank you, Yoru-senpai."

Yinchuan Mian also struggled to raise her arm, peeled the banana, and began to eat it.

Yoruichi rarely saw Ginkawa Mian eating up close, and only now did he realize that when the other person ate a banana, he would stuff half of it into his mouth, chew it for a long time, swallow it, and then stuff the other half into his mouth again.

Simply put, it's two bites for one stick.

Like a hamster, even though no one will take away its food, it will still eagerly stuff more and more into its cheeks.

Mian, who was already used to being watched by others while eating, also chewed.

Like a wandering ghost, Yamamoto swayed and staggered to where the crowd had gathered, plopped down, and then lay down with a "thud."

Kozume Kenma looked at Kuro, "Only those who are exhausted to the point of being stupid."

Kuroo Tetsuro retorted righteously, "He wasn't smart to begin with."

Yamamoto Taketora raised his head slightly, looking at the two of them with a puzzled expression: ? ? ?

Before anyone knew it, Fukunaga Shohei lay down next to Yamamoto Takeru, crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, straightened his body, and slowly closed his eyes, successfully startling Yamamoto Takeru.

Hisense, who still had the energy, went to get a glass of warm water instead of drinking cold water directly. He passed by their world and took a picture of the cats together and posted it in the group.

I'd love to have something cold, but I've just finished exercising, so I'll pass. (A mature and reliable vice-captain)

Naoi Manabu, who had just finished a phone call and confirmed the time of a training match, also took a photo, but didn't post it to anyone.

Since Yinju reached the top four in the county, there have been more teams in the county that are arranging training matches. Coach Maoyou, adhering to the principle of prioritizing quality over quantity, selected a few teams.

Coach Nekomata wanted to observe Karasuno High School's situation, but after learning that they had been eliminated in the first round of the IH qualifiers and that all the senior students had dropped out, he gave up.

His first priority is to ensure the kittens make sufficient progress before he can focus on other things.

Among all the training matches in the tournament, the one that deserves the most attention is Fukutani. Although we had joint training with Fukutani during the summer vacation, that was before the start of the National IH tournament. After the IH tournament, their regular senior members also left the club.

One of the special reasons for Spring High School is that a large number of senior students drop out of the program. After all, not everyone is suited for competitive sports, and they need to plan for their future.

This period, with neither new talent to fill the void nor any support to back it up, is the most difficult and painful period of adjustment.

Of course, there will also be cases where none of the senior students drop out of the club. This is their last game with their backs against the wall. When the game ends, spring will end, and high school will also end.

After achieving a top 4 finish in the IH National Tournament, Niou Sora and Sakuragi Michiichi announced their departure.

Kotaro Bokuto became the successor to Sora Nioh, and the new captain with the number one.

Kyoji Akaashi is Sakuragi Michiichi's successor, and is the starting setter and vice-captain of Fukutani.

Fukutani's performance in the last training match seemed to be very poor. Kotaro Bokuto was extremely out of form. There is only one month left before the Spring High School Qualifiers. If Kotaro Bokuto continues to be out of form, then they will lose a major threat.

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

In the next two training matches against other teams, Nekoma won 2-0 each time.

The targeted training created by the cat trainer, Mubu Kuanyuan, has played a significant role, and each cat's progress has been remarkably rapid.

To solidify Yinchuan Mianye's ceiling serve, Coach Maoyou even created a training schedule for Yinchuan Mianye during the holidays.

He wove the cats of Soundhorse into a net centered on the grinding of the lone claw. The tacit understanding between teammates was repeatedly enhanced. There was no longer any friction or collision in movement. All blood was connected and complemented each other.

During his free time, Naoki found Otoko's old flag in the storeroom, washed it clean, and hung it on the railing of the observation deck on the second floor.

"Maintain"

Then on that day, Coach Naoi was overwhelmed by a group of excited cats.
