The game once more began.

Kageyama and Crow were determined to get the next point with the King's toss.

But since Crow had been getting all of the points since he got subbed in. They knew they had to make the most out of Nekoma's alertness to him and get the others to spike. Get them to lose sight of the small crow.

Until finally.

They successfully forgot.

"Tobio-kun!" Crow said as he began his approach. Kageyama's eyes snapped towards him. The ball above him was then tossed with as much strength as he had.

Crow was already mid air the ball suddenly popped up in front of him.

It didn't connect.

"Gah-! I jumped too high-" he realized when his hand didn't connect.

Kageyama's heart dropped.

"Ne. Crow… I'll throw your specialty from now on." Crow looked at him and nodded, it was exasperating but he understood that the male still had lingering trauma from when his tosses never connected.

With Nekoma's serve time Karasuno got it up. This time the ball was a high toss. Without any struggle Crow spiked. Another point for Karasuno. A grin spread on his face as his looked at his palm

That one always felt great.

They tried the same attack multiple times, and from there they also used the crow boy as a decoy.

The rallies became longer and each time they were more exhausting than the last. Yet they were all full of energy.

It took a bit, but Nekoma finally adjusted.

From then on for every point Crow scored, Nekoma also scored one.

This went on until Nekoma was at 24, match point. Crow was anxious yet excited, he had never been stopped like this before. It was so… fun.

It was exhilarating to say the least.

Desperate to get a point in Hinata and Kageyama did a quick. It was saved, the ball hit the net yet before it fell Kenma saved it. The ball was falling in the ball there was no one there.

When suddenly.

pop—-

"Tobio-kun-!" Crow saved it. To everyone's surprise, he then ran forward and went so quickly it almost seemed like… he was Hinata. He jumped the ball connected with his hand.

The king's toss.

BAAM—-!

Their libero, got it up. Yet, it was not great, the ball was strong and it had thrown him back but the ball's momentum wasn't stopped nor slowed, causing it to fall directly on the opposite corner of Karasuno's court. Nishinoya was a millisecond too late.

They all saw the ball drop.

For the second set they kept trying out Crow's usual attack, they didn't even notice that they had done that. Which caused Nekoma to adjust pretty quickly.

"Tobio-kun" the boy said as they prepared before the next rally. "Hai, Crow?"

"Send me more normal tosses-!" The boy said excitedly. The male's eyes widened, he hadn't realized that subconsciously he had just thrown the King toss before and that Crow had spiked it.
