CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE - LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

SEIYA WAS WITH HIS TEAM in the building where the other schools were also in since it was preliminaries. He wasn't nervous, more like excited. He was leaning against the wall when his phone buzzed in his volleyball jacket. He took it out, smiling when he saw that it was only his younger brother.

Seijuro 🏀:
> I know that preliminaries start today, so I wanted to wish you luck.

Sei-nii:
Thanks, Seijuro. <

Seijuro 🏀:
> Let me know once you reach the finals. I'll get the rest of the GoM together and we can head down to Miyagi to cheer on you and your team.

Sei-nii:
Will do. It'll be nice to see your junior high team again. As friends this time. <

Seiya turned his phone off and sighed. He looked up and saw Hinata. "You all right, Hinata?" He asked his junior, noticing how pale he was looking.

"H-Hinata, are you okay?" Yachi asked in concern. Seiya then saw Yamaguchi shaking as well, making him worried for him.

"Yep. I'm fine. I puked on the way here, and that relieved me a bit."

"Of course, you'd feel sick after eating all those pork bowls for breakfast."

"It's normal to eat pork cutlets on game days!"

"And by "normal", you mean..."

Suddenly Kageyama went over and started yelling at the orange-haired male. "You moron! Hinata, you moron!" He exclaimed as Seiya snorted.

"Is your vocabulary only limited to moron?" Seiya teased as Kageyama blushed in embarrassment.

"I-I'll do my best to expand my vocabulary!" He announced as Seiya snickered.

"Relax, Kageyama. I was just teasing you." Seiya smirked as his other teammates were talking amongst themselves, but he blocked them out.

Once Karasuno was dressed in their own uniforms, with Seiya switching over to Sora and proudly wearing the number thirteen in bold white lettering. Daichi looked over to them. "The game before us is over. Let's go!" He informed, as his team nodded and followed their captain into the gymnasium.

"Yeah!"

TWEEEET!

Everyone was doing their warmups with Kageyama doing their sets as they each took a turn spiking the ball. "Your shaved head is seriously lame. Seriously, like seriously, seriously..." Seiya heard a guy from the opposing team call out to Tanaka who overheard.

Tanaka then had a praying face. "I will go forth. Let us play a good game." He said as Seiya smirked when he ran up and spiked the ball that Kageyama sets to him. "Take this, damn it!" He yelled as the other two players from the opposing team flinch at the power that Tanaka had.

"Thank you for that opportunity." Tanaka prayed and slightly bowed to Kageyama who just looked confused but bowed back. Soon, it was Seiya's turn to go, as he popped his neck and stretched his arms and legs.
