Third Person POV

"What?! Kiyoko-san went out?", Mizuki asked the team who was currently on the court to start warming up.

After the entrance ceremony, the Volleyball Team went to the other gymnasium to warm up while Mizuki stays at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium to help. And she just finished her duties now.

"Yeah, she's relying on us to get through this match! We'll be doing her job now.", Yachi said.

"Yacchan, only one manager is allowed.", Mizuki chuckled.

Yachi froze and was dumbfounded. She just realized that she's the only one staying beside Coach Ukai and Mr. Takeda. Mizuki smiled and put a hand on her shoulder.

"It'll be okay, Yachi. Besides, we both have to get used to being independent. You got this.", Mizuki said.

Yachi's eyes sparkled and she nodded in determination. Mizuki removed her jacket, tied her hair and went inside the court to assist in training. Asahi and the others mostly practiced serves earlier so now they're on receiving.

Mizuki stood behind the line and grabbed one of the balls so she could serve. Daichi, Nishinoya, Asahi and Hinata were in line to receive. Mizuki served a strong one and it went to Daichi, who received it, but it went to Mizuki's side of the court and landed on the corner where it's hard to receive.

"Nice, Daichi-san!", Mizuki said.

She served a jump float this time and Nishinoya received it using under hand receive.

It became normal now that Mizuki is the manager that also trains them. She is the manager that is always inside the court.

Meanwhile, Atsumu decided to stay and watch the preceding matches. Of course, Karasuno caught his eye because of his interest in Kageyama. So he watched Karasuno practicing and noticed a particular someone.

Mizuki... He thought.

It's hard not to notice the purple haired girl inside the court. He was amazed at how she grew into a fine young lady. She looked prettier and taller now, but more importantly, she looked happier. The dull eyes he once met was no longer there, only bright eyes and pure smile. Just genuine happiness and contentment. Her being this happy brings out more of her beauty and charm, Atsumu was getting more mesmerized. She came so far and he's proud of her.

He watched closely, wondering why she was in the court. He never got to see Mizuki play Volleyball because she was scared of her father back then. She even refused to touch a volleyball back then because of how scared she was of getting beat up or scolded. She only got off of that fear because of Tendou.

I guess she and her father are okay now. Or else she wouldn't be here. He thought, smiling slightly.

As he watches her, he realized how powerful she was. She has power, speed and technique. She can use both jump float and regular jump serve, and she's really great at both. Her receives were perfect, she can set for herself and has a thunderous spike that they had difficulties receiving.
