Adventures In Nekoma High || A Nekoma Fanfiction

Chapter 77 : The End of a Battle

It was their second time of the match and Karasuno was putting up a good fight against them that even Kenma almost died from exhaustion. Himura tried her best to keep Kenma calm and revived his not so energetic spirit back.

"Revive the hero on the brink of death and fight on..." Kenma sighed as he left his water bottle open. "There are times where those who can no longer fight are revived and fight on."

It was crystal clear to them that he was using video game terminology.

"I think, I'm going to give my apologies to the hero, and hang on a little longer to fight it out."

He was definitely on the brink of death by the time they were done with the break. The manager wanted to say something to counter it but she got nothing that will make him get his spirits up.

"S'okay." They heard Fukunaga telling him. "People don't usually die playing volleyball."

And like that, Kenma was laughing his ass off.

Seemed like Fukunaga was the only person who can make the stoic Kenma die from laughter.

Karasuno: 23

Nekoma: 20

"Ugh, why are they so behind?" Aiko asked worryingly, squishing her cheeks as she watched the match unfold. She had seen the two went up against each other since the training camp and it was always Karasuno who got the other end of the stick but now it was opposite. "They improved so much in such a short time, huh..." The other two gave her their nods and focused on the match in front of them.

Aiko watched as Kuroo leaped and served the ball through the barrier. That was one of, if not, the strongest serve she has ever seen in her life at that point. But, curses, Karasuno already easily dodge the attack. Last time she saw them play, they barely got an even rhythm going. Now, they were practically on a better beat than Nekoma. Their momentum was on point.

"Pardon me~" A woman walked in front of them to get to her seat with a man following behind.

Aiko was snapped out of that trance of hers and let the woman pass by but then, "K-Kaoru-senpai?" She called out. Naomi and Makoto instantly turned their heads to the woman with long dark brown hair, a coat, and a mask. The woman turned around and it was the one and only, "Fujiwara?" Kaoru herself. "Kao?" And Mafuyu too.

By the time the two finally came face to face with each other, a large bang erupted from the court. It was Hinata and his quick attack again. Nekoma's barriers were useless at that very moment.

Securing a point for the crows.

Chou actually couldn't believe it herself. Every attack from Hinata was going through their walls every single time. She knew the boys were tired at that point but it was getting on her nerves.

"Hinata-kun is really good." Fumi commented.

Hikaru can only watch in awe at how swiftly he was moving on the court.

Lev and Kenma jumped together to block it but ended up failing and getting Kenma to fall down from how he crashed into the giant. "Uwahhh, Kenma-san!!" Lev was going to help him out but Kenma got up quickly and fumbled his way while screaming his lungs out, "Idiot!! You idiot!! The ball hasn't dropped yet!!"

The continuous cycle of receiving and attacking and blocking kept being the same old stuff everyone has gotten accustomed to just from how long the battle has gone on for. Hoshiko noticed how exhausted yet enthusiastic Kenma was with being in the court for the first time. It was a nice change of scenery.
