III - Kageyama

I'm starting Karasuno high today. I did want to get into Shiratorizawa, but they didn't give me a recommendation. I don't know why though, my tosses have pin-point accuracy. Oh well, Karasuno isn't that bad either. They are called the 'flightless crows' but I'm sure I can make them fly again.

With this determination, I start walking to school. I make my way straight to the volleyball court. I want to get a few jump serves in before classes officially start. I open the door to the court, and the the sight of the net immediately brings comfort to me. My moment is interrupted by the strong voice of a girl giving instructions.

I turn my head in the direction of the sound. Right opposite to the court is the dance club. So that's where the voice is from, I thought to myself. I shrugged it off, and enter the court. I pick up a volleyball, and take a few steps behind the service line. Taking a deep breath, I fling the ball into the air. That was a good toss. I jump in the air, calculating the point of contact. Perfect. As I'm about serve, my moment is again interrupted by a voice, but a different one.

"You?!?!", the voice exclaims. I turn my head to see a short guy with orange hair. My beautifully-tossed ball boinks off my head. "You?!?!", I exclaim, as I recognize him. That super-fast spiker from Yukigaoka. "What are you doing here?", he asks me. "I could ask you the same!", I reply, annoyed. Out of everyone, why did he have to come here?

We bickered for a while, before three seniors entered the court. "Are you the first-years? But there are only two of you... Where are the other two?", a guy with dark hair asked a guy with gray hair. "Daichi, introduce yourself!", he nudged him. "Ah right," he scratched the back of his head, "I'm Sawamura Daichi, I'm the captain of the boys' volleyball team. This is Sugawara Kōshi, the vice captain.", the guy with gray hair gave us a smile. "Yo, what about me? Eh, it's fine I can introduce myself. Hey, I'm Tanaka Ryūnosuke, but you can call me Tanaka-senpai!", he pointed his thumb to his chest and laughed.

But we were still bickering. Seeing this, the captain started to get really mad. "What are you two fighting about?", he tried to break us apart. "Okay, now that's it. OUT, BOTH OF YOU!", he shouted, which seemed to get our attention. "But-", the orange-haired boy started, but was interrupted by the captain pushing us out.
