After calming myself down for not being able to receive the serve, I finally got back up on my feet still with a frown. Gosh, here I was thinking I'd be able to receive the ball...But I have to admit, that serve is crazy strong. Daichi suddenly placed his hand on my shoulder which made me feel much more better. Okay is it just me or do I feel like Kageyama and Hinata are staring at me. I think it's best I don't turn around to check.

"This isn't possible with just the two of us. Asahi, please. We're counting on you" Daichi said as we all went to positions. Asahi nodded.

"Bring it!" They shouted. I gulp nervously when I notice the intense gazes Seijoh was giving us. So intimidating...

Oikawa gave the ball a few bounces...then did his powerful jump serve. I let out a relieved sigh when Daichi was lucky enough to receive the ball. Hah! #12 tried to do a dump but Tanaka was able to save the ball by using his wrist. Suck it Oikawa! Kageyama tossed to Asahi and he quickly spike it over the net, I was slightly disappointed when their #3 was able to receive the ball. Damn it...Oikawa got ready to toss the ball and trust me, it was hard to tell who he's gonna be tossing to.

I was surprised to find #12 and #16 to be decoys, it was actually #4 who's gonna spike the ball! Even though the others were trying to block him, he was able to score a point in the end. I sigh as I watch the ball roll to a stop with the sound of Seijoh celebrating in the background. So that means the third set is starting. This is tough. If we lose this one then we lose for sure. The others went to take a break and I just followed them from behind.

"Let's change it up!" Daichi said.

"Right!" We all shouted.

I grab my water bottle and decided to get a little privacy at the corner. I took a deep breath before drinking water from the bottle. Is it bad that I have this habit of staring at the wall? I thought as I took another sip while my eyes were still fixed on the wall. Hm...Maybe just a little. My entire body jumped when I felt someone tapping on my shoulder, I turn around to see it was Kiyoko. Oh? This is very awkward. Did she saw me having a staring contest with the wall?

"Here's a towel" She handed it to me and I quickly thank her before grabbing it from her hand. Just what I need. I was wiping off the sweat from my face until I notice Kiyoko still standing there. Oh?

"Is there anything else you have for me?" I ask. She suddenly took the towel from my hand and help wipe my sweat off my neck for me. I blush. She's so gentle...

"Don't exhaust yourself too much, okay?" Her gaze was also warm. I nod with a grateful smile. She really is a sister to me...but she probably sees me as something else...I then went to huddle up with the others when we were called.

"Just remember, don't let Oikawa do whatever he wants with his serves. Just get it up. Get it up, no matter what. Then, someone will connect" Coach said.

"Right!" We all responded.

"If an enemy you must defeat one day is called an archenemy, then for Karasuno, Aoba Johsai is indeed that. You are going to be the ones, who are going to win this battle against your archenemy" Sensei added.

"Yeah!" Damn I'm already pumped.

"The final set...We're going to surpass Aoba Johsai. We're going to surpass them with this team!" Daichi said. We all then stood in a circle and hold our hand in the middle.

"Karasuno, fight!" We shouted. Well this is it...The last set...

I took deep breaths while everyone got to positions, it's our serve to do so I hope we don't slip. Asahi threw the ball upwards and did a jump serve. Sadly #16 was already there to receive the ball, guess it's not gonna be that easy. Oikawa then tossed the ball to their #4, he spiked the ball across the court and because of how quick his attack was, Daichi wasn't able to receive the ball. Ah...that's their first point. As Oikawa got ready to do his serve, I could hear coach's words being played in my head. Keep it up in the air no matter what...
