The ginger was dumbfounded when she noticed his fake cat ears.


















Her two friends seem not to believe her as she keeps telling them that it is not real.

The ginger was having second thoughts about whether he tells the truth or not.

He wants to join the team but he's not sure if he can be great at it.

It's his first time to know the sport.

And he is afraid of letting down his team.

"Just join, you idiot."

A voice suddenly came inside the head of the ginger as he was in distress.

He already knew who owned the voice as soon as he heard it.

"I'm sure you'll be great at it."

The tangerine felt better hearing the words as he answered his Senior.

"I want to join the Karasuno."

Akiteru and Udai went pale hearing those words come out from the freshman.

Saeko was smiling as she heard the response she wanted to hear.

"That's great, kid! But you better do something with those fake ears of yours."

She suggests as she touched the orange cat ears of the tangerine.

The ginger laughs as he takes off his bracelet and his cat ears eventually disappear as well.

The three Seniors were surprised and went amused as they got surprised by the magic.

"What are you anyway? A dog? Cat? A fish? Or a bird?"

The woman asks as she keeps ruffling the soft orange hair.

"I'm a bird as well..."

The ginger lied, but he has evidence if ever they ask why.

"Then where are your wings? Mind if I ask..."

Akiteru questioned as he didn't see any wings behind the freshman.

Udai suddenly felt awkward and uncomfortable as he thought about why he doesn't have one.

The ginger looked down and suddenly lifted the back of his shirt showing a scar of where his wings used to be before.

"It was torn off of me..."

The three went pale and shivered in fear as they saw the painful scar behind the sweet and innocent tangerine.

Saeko instantly pulled down his shirt as she grabbed the ginger's face with her hands and faced it in her direction.

"Who did this!"

Her voice is filled with anger as she scowls.

Akiteru then gets her hands away from the tangerine as he hugged the young one in his arms.

Udai was sad as he calms down his female friend who begins to say curse words towards the person who made the tangerine like this.

"It's okay if you won't tell us what happened... We can understand so don't stress yourself Shoyo..."

The man hugging him said as the tangerine felt bad for lying.

He needs to.

It's better than revealing that he's the God that the people are worshipping in the temple.

But he does feel happy knowing that these people do care for another being like them.

"Did you know you used to have real wings..."

Soren spoke in his mind telepathically.

The ginger then reminds his companion that he erased most of his God days before.

His friend sighed inside his mind.

"Right... Well, you used to have wings... Before someone DID tear it off of you..."

The tangerine then asked who did it and why wasn't he informed about this news before.

Soren became quiet making the ginger lose a bit of his patience.

His friend talked again.

"It was one of your lovers in the past... I hated that guy... I thought you would remember that nightmare if I told you had one before..."

The ginger was more surprised that he had more lovers than he thought.

But he did question why his past lover would want such an excruciating thing to happen to him.

Maybe he was in the wrong and not his lover.

Maybe he did something to offer his wings as God.

But why?

His thoughts got cut off as soon as Saeko-san was calling out for his name.

"Shoyo! You better tell us who did it!"

She growled as she grabbed his arms this time making him shake a bit.

Udai begins to worry as he tries to calm her down, his blond friend was also trying to calm her down as they both kept repeating words like calm down and stop.

Until the four of them hear a loud shout from the court.

Four heads turn toward the voice as they get called out.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THAT POOR CHILD?!"

It was the professor of Arts and Math, Prof. Takeda.

His face was filled with fear and worry as he saw the Senior students shaking the poor freshman.

His maternal instincts told him to stop those Crows as they are scaring the child.

The coach from the Karasuno then interferes with the drama as soon as he sees the three familiar faces of his father's students.

"Saeko! Udai! Akiteru! What did I tell you about not to cause a ruckus inside the court!"

The man with slicked-back bleached hair yelled at the three Seniors who were hugging the freshman.

The three flinched as soon as their names were called out.

"Oh shit! We'll get our scores deducted if he tells Prof. Ukai (Father) about this!"

The female Senior loudly whispered at her two friends as they all let go of the tangerine and stood straight immediately.

"Sorry Coach!"

The three shouted as they bowed 90° degrees toward the scowling man below.

The man sighed as he calmed down Prof. Takeda from worrying about anything now.

All the players that are now on the court below were watching and began whispering when they recognized the two Seniors in the bleachers.

"It's the Little Giant!"

"Wow... It's that Tsukishima's older bro..."

"bruh he's so tall just like the little bro..."

"The Little Giant looks a bit... Not scary anymore...?"

"But who's that in the middle though?..."

"The kid?"

"I think he got scolded by the Seniors..."

"That sucks..."

"He looks like a grade-schooler? Why is he here?"

"Yo... pretty sure he's a freshman."

"Isn't that freshman that the Owls and the Cats love?"

Whispers can be heard inside the court as soon as the ginger was noticed.

The Seniors got annoyed and so Saeko did the unthinkable.

























"We want him to join the Karasuno volleyball team coach!"

"What?!?"
