"Hey Coach, do we have an aux on this bus?" Tanaka shouted from the back seats on the journey home, snatching Asahi's phone from his hands. Asahi complained as Tanaka opened Spotify, only to whine about how he didn't have premium.

"You can join the family plan if you want." Reo offered with a smile at the tall ace who was busy trying to get his phone back.

"Family plan?" Tanaka turned his attention towards Reo, Asahi seizing the opportunity to grab his phone back with a hasty 'ha!'.

"Yeah, Yamaguchi organised one for us the other day. So far it's got me, Yams, Tsukki, Kageyama and Hinata."

"First year Spotify!" Hinata cheered.

Tanaka continued to stare at Reo in betrayal.

"Oh don't look at me like that, it's not my fault you use YouTube premium like every other psycho."

"My Sister made me use it!" He huffed before sitting back down in his seat.

Reo turned back to Noya who had been spending the journey insisting on playing eye-spy, and continued the game until they got back to Karasuno.

Once they got back, and after everyone insisted on watching the televisions report on the games, the team were back in the gym receiving a talk from Coach Ukai.

He cleared his throat before starting.

"Using the Date Tech game to debut the quick attack, we were able to take the enemy by surprise. Not to mention Reo's stupidly perfect new back attack move that she somehow came up with. But we've played against Seijoh before, so they already know most of our tricks. That said, you guys need to remember that you still have a great deal of offensive power. The first step is surviving that serve Oikawa does. We can't let it control the flow of the game." Ukai looked around at everyone who was stood in complete silence, listening intently to him. "As you know, our current formation is based on all of you except the setter going after the serves. But this time I want our two middle blockers to focus entirely on attacks and not participate in serve receives." He looked pointedly at Tsukishima and Hinata, Hinata looking a little deflated as they both agreed. "I know when you played Seijoh last time you probably thought 'Wow! These guys are tough, no way can we beat these.'" Ukai mimicked in a high pitched voice - Reo didn't even know he was able to reach such frequencies, "But if you observed Date Tech during your game, you would've thought the same thing about them and their iron wall- but you still won against them."

'Huh.' Reo smiled impressed and nodded to herself. 'He's pretty good at these pep talk things.'

"Alright!" He shouted, "Lets run through the formation whilst we still have some time."

"Yes Sir!"

They weren't in the gym for long; Ukai rambled on about getting appropriate rest and eating well before returning in the morning.

As everyone went their separate ways, Reo stood next to Hinata under the moon light, waiting for him to tie his laces. He heaved out a harsh sigh as he stood up.

"Uh? Everything okay?" She reached out and patted his shoulder awkwardly.

He sighed again, sounding more annoyed at something this time.

"I was planning on getting extra practice in tonight, but I have maths homework that needs doing..."

"When is it due?" They began strolling.

"Tomorrow."

"Pfft-" She rolled her eyes, "-Maybe you shouldn't procrastinate next time, Dummy."
