kanoka and i jump to block. the two of us have become regular starters after two of our teammates had retired. great timing for the both of us.
instead of trying to hit the ball through us she aims at my finger tips. i see this and pull my hand out of the way, causing the ball to fly out of bounds.
the stadium erupts in cheers. we have a home game today. yuki came down to visit and so did bokuto, since his game is tomorrow instead of today. the three are somewhere in the stands. i'll find them after. satsuki and riko may be here as well.
kanoka and i freak out. we've both been working on that skill recently and neither of us though we would get the opportunity to do it today.
"did you see that?" i think to akaashi excitedly.
"not really. i'm too far up." his reply makes me gaze subtly around the stadium, trying to find where he ended up sitting.
"i'll tell you about it after. you're going to be so impressed."
it's finally my turn to serve.
after four years of playing university volleyball and months of playing in the vleague. my serves have become even better than they were in highschool, but the defence has gotten better too.
scoring definitely isn't as easy as it was in highschool.
i step up to serve and do my routine. i had chosen to aim for their middle who is currently in the serve spot in the rotation before i even came over here. i decide on a jump float.
i serve. it sails over the net directly at the other teams middle. she manages to pick it up, buts it's messy. their setter has to run out of position.
she puts up a set, it isn't perfect, but i'll admit it's pretty decent. she sets it to their opposite, who hits it at me.
everyone who plays at this level is impressive. they just turned a messy receive into a pretty decent attack.
i receive the ball easily, passing it neatly to our own setter. she sets it to kanoka, who hits it between two of the players in the back row.
the one in the middle gets the ball back up.
the rally goes on for around a minute, it's exhausting. i've received about four balls.
the rally is finally ended by kanoka, who blocks the other teams opposite.
"good lord." my sweat drips off of me and onto the floor.
