Everyone was astonished and still can't believe that Karasuno's male volleyball team got into the Spring Tournament's finals, competing with Shiratorizawa after beating such teams like Johzenji, Wakutani Minami, and Aoba Johsai, the ones who gave them heartbreaks last Interhigh.

The members were all both nervous and hyped up as they enter the court to do some warm ups.

Y/n sat with Yachi and the others in the audience since only one manager was allowed in the benches.

She watched the members warm up while also preparing to cheer for them.

•••••

Warm ups are now done and the players will be introduced one by one. When Tsukishima's name was called, he jogged to their coach, teacher, and manager as he gave each of them high fives.

Tsukishima's eyes met Y/n's and she waved lightly at him while he smiled at her.

After introducing all the players, the whistle was blowed, announcing the beginning of the game.

The first ball was Karasuno's and Daichi, their captain served it. It went to the other side as Shiratorizawa's members play with the ball and now Ushijima Wakatoshi, their captain-ace, is about to spike it.

Tsukishima, Asahi, and Kageyama all jumped at the same time, for an attempt to block the ball. The ball however, made it through their block and headed straight to Nishinoya who received it but was off and the ball went outside the court, giving Shiratorizawa the first point.

Karasuno's players were all still out of focus since Shiratorizawa kept gaining more points while they stay at 0. Sugawara scolded them with a loud shout that grabbed everyone's attention. After that, the members somehow got a hold of it.

After a while, Karasuno finally gained a point after Shiratorizawa collected 5. Though, they still can't get used to Ushijima's left-handed spikes as they failed to block it again.

The first set went on as the two teams gain scores. In another attempt to block Ushijima's spikes, Tsukishima injured his right index finger.

Shiratorizawa still was on the lead as Ushijima received Hinata and Kageyama's quick and gained another point with his spike, giving his team the first set.

•••••

The second set started but this time, Karasuno got the first point. They kept leading a few points until Shiratorizawa's middle blocker, Tendour interrupted.

He saw through Hinata and Kageyama's quicks and pretty much blocked most of Karasuno's attacks.

Though after quite some time, Karasuno got used to Tendou as they started gaining points again.

The two teams alternatively scores until one got the set point. However, the fight did not stop there. The opposing team kept snatching the set point from the other to the point where a team reached 30 points.

Tsukishima's blocks were getting better and better. When Karasuno's at 30 and set point, Shiratorizawa attempts to tie the scores again.

Ushijima jumped as his left arm goes back to spike the ball. He saw an empty space between Tsukishima and Asahi's arms and spiked the ball there.

To everyone's shock, Tsukishima moved his arms to the left in mid air, successfully blocking Ushijima's powerful spike.

After a moment of silence, Tsukishima threw his fist in the air and shouted with all his might, powerfully bringing it down.
