Crows.
Intelligent creatures with
great memory.
They always remember.
And from it, they learn.

Coach ukai showed a white board. The positions had finally been decided.

"For Nekoma's battle, this will be our starting order."

"Alright! Everyone it's time to practice."

The long exhausting practice had finally ended, since their practice match against Nekoma was soon to come.

Following the next day, when their serving practice ended a surprise awaited them, since it was their last day of camp before their match.

"Woah-! Uniforms!" Crow held his uniform in front of him, the number 13 was in the center of it. "Heh. That's ironic. A murder of crows can have anywhere from 3 to 8 crows. But the norm has become above ten." The boy smirked at the irony.

"But only Noya-san's is orange. You stand out!"

"Of course. After all, I have the leading role!" Nishinoya proudly said.

"Leading role?"

"The libero goes on and off the court frequently during a match. He's the only one that needs to be noticeable. Idiot!"

"I know that. I totally know that! ... Kageyama is one notch higher than me..." Hinata immediately deflated ion seeing the blueberry having a higher number than himself.

"I knew he was going to say that." Tsukishima and Tanaka say in unison, quite creepily.

"Just be greatful we first-years get to wear a uniform at all."

"I know that!"

"Yeah, I guess you don't remember that number, " Daichi began.

"because you saw it only once on TV, right?" Sugawara was the one to finish his sentence.

"Huh?"

"The Little Giant wore #10 when he went to nationals." Daichi explained.

"Was this your thoughtful idea, Coach?" With sparkles the carrot top asks.

"Nope, just a coincidence."

"Then, it's destiny." Once more he was sparkling.

"It's a coincidence."

"Don't be jealous, Kageyama-kun." He pat the taller male's shoulder as an 'intent to comfort him.' Though it only aggravated him.

"Why would I be jealous?" He angrily yelled back.

Crow snickered at their antics, yet his heart raced as he looked at his new jersey. Yeah, it was destiny.

"By the way. The Little Giant that Hinata admires played on the best team Karasuno's ever had. But even then, Karasuno never once defeated Nekoma. Not even once. It was one loss after another. I want you to turn the tables on them." Ukai said, a grin at the end of his statement.

"OSU!" Everyone responded with determination of their own.

"Okay, let's start practice!"

"OSU!"

With ease, Kuro receives a ball sending it towards Kenma.

"What the heck? We spike and spike, yet the ball never drops on their court!"

Kenma makes a toss, that is quickly spiked by their #7, ending the second set 25-13 with Nekoma being the winner.

"All right!"
