-Shiratorizawa vs Karasuno-
(Part 5)

☆-[•●•]-☆

Kageyama noticed Shirabu's complete different behavior during the third set. He wasn't letting the loss set get to him and focused on catching up by overtaking the next set.

Time flies by quickly, the third set was taken by Shiratorizawa.

Shiratorizawa - Karasuno

Set 3

25 - 18

"Tch!" Tanaka showed irritation on his face as he looked at the score board. Daichi caught their attention by clapping his hand a few times. "Don't mind, we'll get the next one!"

Asahi went to Nishinoya to get him up after falling down on his butt after Ushijima's spike. "Here, Nishinoya- ah-" Nishinoya's irritated and silent expression made Asahi jump in fear.

"Oya, I can smell the frustration from here." Tsuchiya sweatdropped. "Even though I couldn't smell anything, I would still know." Sugawara sighed. "Well, there's two more sets to catch up and win. This set shouldn't hinder us back." Tsuchiya crossed his arms.

The two teams switched courts and Hinata was eyeing Ushijima as they ran past each other. Unfortunately, Ushijima stopped to talk to Hinata. "Since you were able to move like that, I thought you'd be good at blocking and receiving too, you can't fight with height so what can you possibly do if your technique is just as bad as you already do?" Ushijima confronted him.

Tsuchiya was just a few players ahead of Hinata and definitely heard that. He went up to Hinata to be there for him. "Hey, Ushi-kun, could you not rile up our middle blocker?" Tsuchiya puts a hand on Hinata's shoulder.

"Middle blocker doesn't suit him as well." Ushijima looked at Tsuchiya, who's eyes were glaring at him as if he just kicked his son.  "Who are you to say that? I don't think you're in the place to judge someone who's clearly doing their best as a part of the team. That was enough for us." Tsuchiya's teeth seethed in as he lowly growled at the alpha infront of him.

"I was only pointing out mistakes and what holds your team back. If you still keep him on court, that's fine. We'll win this set yet again as well as the last set and go to nationals." Ushijima ran back to his team.

It took a lot for Tsuchiya to calm himself in the most part, and successfully managed himself. Hinata, who was still beyond shock after hearing Ushijima talking about his skill that was probably worst than him doing math and english.

"Hinata, listen." Tsuchiya puts both of his hands on Hinata's shoulders. "You shouldn't mind what he just said. I mean it when I said you doing your best was enough. As long as it doesn't give you regrets, that's enough. If what he said really bothers you like right now, you just gonna have to prove him wrong, okay?" Tsuchiya then moved his hand to place it on top of his orange head. "You can do this." Tsuchiya gave him an encouraging smile as he let out a few calming pheromones for him. Hinata smiled back as he felt better.

"Hai!"

"Hey, stop keeping Tsuchiya-senpai there. He needs to be with the team and YOU too, and already focused for the next set!" Kageyama told Hinata. "Alright, alright! You and Ushiwaka are alike.. Thanks a lot, Tsuchiya-san!" Hinata bowed to Tsuchiya in respect and run along with the others who gathered infront of Ukai. Tsuchiya smiled before following right after.

Right at the first serve for the fourth set, Goshiki thought he'll be able to give a good serve but the force on his hand was too strong that it was an out.
