In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

Shiroshima-kun?

And... a volleyball team?

What are they doing?

Xia Mu glanced at Peter beside her, her eyes darting around, and suddenly asked, "Teacher Peter, I wonder if you... are interested in volleyball..."

"volleyball?"

……

Chapter 26 The Killer Serve!

"...Good luck to the Tokyo Gakuen girls' volleyball team!"

"Damn it, these guys actually resorted to such despicable tactics, shameless!"

"..."

When Xia Mu and Peter arrived at the stands, they found a fierce match taking place below, with angry shouts rising from the crowd around them.

"What's going on? Why are the men's and women's volleyball teams fighting?"

Peter frowned as he spoke.

Normally, due to the difference in physical fitness between men and women, the intensity of their matches is also completely different, so they do not compete against each other.

Judging from the score difference of several times, the men's volleyball team was absolutely crushing them!

Although Xia Mu had only been in this world for a short time, he knew a little about the rules of volleyball, and he was also a little confused.

He reached out and patted a girl in front of him. The girl turned around and subconsciously showed an angry expression, but when she saw that it was Xia Mu, her eyes widened instantly.

"You...you...it's Xia..."

"Excuse me, could you please tell us about this match...?"

Seeing Xia Mu's smile, the girl's heart melted, and she immediately recounted the whole story, which is how the two of them learned the reason.

Originally, this stadium was shared by the men's and women's volleyball teams, and they would take turns using it without interfering with each other.

For some reason, the men's volleyball team challenged the women's volleyball team, wanting to compete for the right to use the stadium, which led to the current scene.

"and many more--"

Peter suddenly remembered something and explained to Xia Mu:

"If I remember correctly, we should be in the preliminary stage of the Tokyo Summer Volleyball Tournament recently. If we qualify, we can enter the national competition."

"Last year, they lost the preliminary round by one point. They probably want to spend more time training to increase their chances of making it into the preliminary round, right?"

"But to do it this way, these guys..."

A dangerous glint flashed in Peter's eyes, and only then did the girl beside him seem to belatedly notice his presence: "Hey, isn't this our teacher Peter? You're here too?!"

A black line appeared on someone's forehead. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed Xia Mu walking forward.

“Teacher Peter, I understand what you’re saying, but don’t you think it’s a bit too unfair to these girls?”

He pointed to the score below, which was already 23:10, indicating that victory was almost assured, and showed the scene of the girls' arduous struggle.

That fleeting glance gave Peter a sudden feeling that he wasn't the person he remembered...

"Teacher Xia Mu, are you going to..."

Xia Mu nodded slightly. Peter, recalling what had just happened, smiled maliciously: "Want to come along too?"

"No need. If it's just dealing with these kids, I alone... no, together with them, is enough!"

As Xia Mu spoke, he walked through the crowd, and the originally noisy atmosphere became eerie because of his appearance.

As he reached the edge of the field, drawing everyone's attention, his flippant words rang out.

"I said... could I join this unfair competition?"

next moment--

"Ah!!! It's Teacher Natsuki!!!"

"It's Mr. Natsuki, the most popular man in the entire school! He actually came here!"

"Is it him? Damn it, he's just a little more handsome than me, why is he so upset—Hey, hey, don't hit me! Don't hit me!!!"

"..."

The women's volleyball team, which was in the midst of a fierce battle, was also slightly disturbed by Xia Mu's appearance, especially by a certain white-haired girl who wiped the sweat from her forehead and a look of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Why is he here?

On the other side of the field, the man who appeared to be the team leader stepped forward, nodded to Xia Mu, and said, "Excuse me, teacher, our team may not need..."

As a result, Xia Mu suddenly chuckled: "Hey, hey, hey, classmate, you seem to have misunderstood. The team I want to join is the women's volleyball team!"

"Captain Nakano, how can you say such a thing? Even if he's a teacher, he doesn't have the right—"

One team member raised a question, and the other members also frowned.

At Tokyo Academy, neither the men's nor the women's volleyball teams have coaches. Instead, managers are responsible for organizing and arranging personnel for regular matches, while the captains have a great deal of authority.

However, the man called Nakano thought for a moment, glanced at the scoreboard next to him, and suddenly said, "It's okay, it won't affect the result anyway, let this teacher give it a try."

"Hehe, thank you for your cooperation."

Xia Mu smiled and then went straight to Shiroshima's side: "Hey classmate, who's your setter again?"

In high school volleyball matches, players are generally divided into: outside hitters who are responsible for attacking, middle blockers who are responsible for blocking and quick attacks, setters who organize and attack, opposite hitters who act as the second organizers, and liberos who are responsible for defense, receiving serves and saving balls.

In most teams, the outside hitter and the middle blocker are the main scoring positions and are usually the most valued members of the team. However, in Xia Mu's eyes, the space for the setter to perform is far greater than the former's limit!

"Setter..."

Although Shirashima didn't understand Natsuki's intentions, she still said to a girl next to her, "Mie, you can go down now. Teacher Natsuki will take your place."

Although the girl was unwilling, she had no choice but to obediently walk off the field due to the captain's request. The other members looked at each other and acquiesced, as if Xia Mu's addition made little difference to them.

This scene caused an immediate uproar among the surrounding onlookers.

"What happened? Why did the women's volleyball team's setter leave the court?"

"Although I didn't understand it, at this point, changing the person makes no sense, right? Why does Teacher Xia Mu need to..."

"You despicable boys' volleyball team! If you hurt Mr. Natsuki, we will never let you get away with this!!!"

"..."

Amidst cheers from the crowd, the men's volleyball team members regrouped and prepared for defense.

Although the captain's decision surprised them somewhat, for a match where victory was already assured, whether the opponent made a substitution or not seemed to have little effect.

Just when everyone had the same idea, the serve came to the women's volleyball team, and this time the serve was from the setter, Xia Mu, who had just joined the team!

Beep!

As the whistle blew and Xia Mu tossed the ball high into the air, something seemed to sweep across the entire playing field!

Boom! ! !

Everyone stared wide-eyed; the atmosphere was so tense that even the sound of sweat dripping could be clearly heard.

Staring at the volleyball still spinning rapidly on the floor, after a long while, a scream that echoed throughout the entire stadium rang out: "That's... a killer serve!!!"

……

Chapter 27 A Crushing Match

"That's... a killer serve?!"

The term "killer serve" refers to a serve that is so powerful and fast that it is impossible to return.

However, under normal circumstances, this phenomenon only occurs in theoretical scenarios, and it cannot be achieved in real life due to various reasons.

However, what was unfolding before our eyes was a real-life version of the legendary "killer serve"!

even--

Click, click!

Spiderweb-like cracks extended from the floor beneath the volleyball, their astonishing power causing one of the players to swear.

"The floorboards have cracked?! No way! Am I dreaming?!"

The other team members also gasped, their eyes filled with disbelief as they looked at Xia Mu.

Their captain, Nakano, muttered, "With that kind of power, a direct hit would break an arm... no, it would break it completely, wouldn't it?"

Meanwhile, as the men's volleyball team was shocked, the women's volleyball team on the other side showed a similar expression, and then cheered in unison.

"They actually scored!!!"

For them, who had previously given up hope, Xia Mu's shot was like the dawn after darkness, completely reviving their dormant hearts.

A barrage of intense gazes were fixed on Xia Mu, making him feel somewhat embarrassed.

"The force was still a bit too much; it seems I need to control it..."

Xia Mu touched his nose and said softly. A look of surprise flashed in Shiroshima's eyes. Thinking of what happened last night, a certain thought subconsciously popped into his mind.

Isn't this guy human?

Beep!

The women's volleyball team scored a point, and the serve returned to them.

With hopeful eyes, Xia Mu once again tossed the ball high into the air. Although he deliberately controlled his strength, it still landed on the opponent's court with amazing speed and power!

(The rules are simplified and refer to the serving rules in the anime Haikyuu!!. When a player scores a point with their serve, they can continue to serve.)

Boom!

"The women's volleyball team scores!"

……

Boom!
