"Speaking normal."

Thinking on thoughts

'Speaking on the phone.'

"English"

In the previous chapter:

"It's the ol' weirdo toss and spike routine." Tsukishima said with a bored tone.

It was like he was explaining it to the group of people who were watching from above. All of the people shouted in surprise of the new quick they witnessed.

Karasuno's captain call over the trio for a group cheer.

"Th-this is so team-like!" Hinata exclaimed, feeling the energy of his teammates.

Tanaka heard his sentence and walked over. "There's nothing 'like' about it. It's because we are a team." Hinata smiled then cheered on his own.

The Seijoh team were still freaked out of the quick. Kageyama noticed their reactions. Okay, did that freak out? I think it did. I want you to be totally preoccupied with Hinata. We still have another secret weapon. He looked towards Akira and locked eyes with her. With just a nod, they had begun their plans.

Now the game begins. They both thought.

The Grand FLIRT:

Third POV

10-9, Karasuno's favor.

"A chance ball." Tanaka advised the team as he received the ball.

"I got it!" Hinata ran up and jumped.

Kindaichi and Iwaizumi jumped up to block as well. "You're not fooling me!" Kindaichi commented.

"Says that again!" Hinata countered in confidence.

Except that Kageyama changed the ball's direction towards Akira on the left. She made another quick. No one was marking her for a reason, they didn't really notice her.

"Heh! 'Bout time!" She exclaimed, slamming down the ball in the court.

Damnit! That Shorty was a decoy from the start! Kindaichi observe. But who was the one that spiked it. He looked around. One thing caught his eye, some long, red hair sticking out from behind Kageyama.

"I shouted at them, thinking I was going to hit it. I'm so embarrassed!" Hinata hid his face with his hands.

Akira walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "What's wrong with that Sho-chan! Because they followed you, I was able to spike freely." She said with smile.

"But that's because they didn't mark you!" Kageyama interjected.

That gave her a small tick mark on her cheek. Akira snapped her head towards the setter. "Oh, shut up! That's unintentional! My misdirection is just that good!" She defended with a huff. Her cheeks were tinted with a light shade if pink.

Point after point, Hinata was used as a decoy and was able to spike quicks. The people that were watching above were still surprised at Karasuno strength. Hinata still was hit in the face when receiving and earned a 'Hinata boke' from Kageyama. Sawamura dived to receive a falling ball, Tanaka spiked a counter, and Tsukishima blocked Iwaizumi's spike. Even Hinata was running around more that usual.

As almost always, Akira supported them from behind. Sometimes, no one would notice who received a quick until it was up in the air. The Invisible Receive. She had come up with this move back in middle school. She used the other players as her own decoy, making sure that the opposing team didn't really notice her. There were many attacks she used, but this one was used more frequently.
