I AM KOBAYASHI AOTORI. Currently, I am the starting middle blocker for Shiratorizawa.

Right now, I am on the court playing a practice match against Aoba Johsai.

Because the previous serve lacked power, I intentionally increased the force for this serve, thinking it might go out. However, unexpectedly, the libero from the other side, Watari Shinji, decided to receive my serve.

But at the same time, the ball accidentally knocked him over.

Now, the opposing players are all staring at me with a 'terrifying' look. Help, what should I do? Panic.

"...WOW, that was really excessive, Aotori-chan," Tendou's voice resonated in the quiet court.

"The power in that last serve was way too much. It clearly exposed your nasty little scheme~"

Scheme?

Kobayashi Aotori glanced at Tendou with a puzzled but calm gaze. Tendo smiled mysteriously, understanding the situation.

Tendou Satori, smiling, looked at the cold-faced Iwaizumi on the other side and slowly said, "First, you used a light and floaty version of your killer serve, a borderline serve, making the opponent believe your serve look like it might go out, but, in fact, has a high probability of hitting the line."

"After that, calculating that the opponent would definitely try to receive the next ball, you used your secret technique: a fake light floaty borderline serve, a real explosive version of an out-of-bounds ball. It not only made the opponent tumble but also ruthlessly suppressed their momentum~"

"And it also fits perfectly with your reputation in the team for 'bullying' the libero~"

Tendou playfully raised a finger to his chin.

Tendou cutely touched his chin with one finger, "But Aotori-chan's acting is terrible~ With such a powerful serve, everyone instantly realized it was intentional, not an accident!"

Kobayashi Aotori blinked blankly, completely not understanding what Tendou Satori was saying with all his roundabout talk. What's with the truth and lies? And why are the opponents looking at me even more menacingly?

Is he deliberately trying to stir things up?!

Shirabu noticed Kobayashi Aotori's gaze towards Tendou, sighed, wiped his sweat with a deadpan expression, and said, "Tendou-senpai, from what I know, not many people actually noticed Aotori's tactics until you pointed it out. And now, everyone understands?"

"Eh— is that so?"

What? What scheme! What did they notice! Why is this group of guys from the boys' high school speaking in riddles? They're being super unfriendly to someone who just transmigrated over a few days ago and learned Japanese in a second!!
