TWO FIGURES SWIFTLY MOVED THROUGH THE AUDIENCE, with a combination of a microphone and a camera making it clear they were a reporter and her cameraman.

Reporter Ozawa hurried towards the Aoba Johsai's match area. I missed the Shiratorizawa match... Ugh, I'm definitely going to get scolded by the editor-in-chief!

And now, I'm almost going to miss the Aoba Johsai match too... Although, there probably wouldn't be any big news worth noting...

Suddenly, a burst of excited chatter caught her perpetually alert ears—

"As expected of Kobayashi Aotori, even in high school, he's just as dominant as he was in junior high!"

"So cool... even after scoring consecutively, there's not a hint of change on his face!"

"Hmph, now Shiratorizawa truly is invincible."

"Look, the players on the opposite side are dumbfounded by Kobayashi Aotori's hits. Even their actions to clean up are slow... they probably don't know how to move their hands and feet...it's really pitiful."

Ozawa abruptly stopped her partner. This time, it wasn't because she had caught wind of new news, but because of one person's name—

—Kobayashi Aotori!

A name she would never forget! The one that marked her first major setback in her interview career but also led to her first viral article!

She excitedly grabbed a spectator below her, startling them. However, when they turned around, they saw an enthusiastic short-haired woman wearing round glasses. Behind her stood a brawny man carrying a camera.

Perhaps out of human instinct, upon seeing the camera, the couple's initially impatient expressions immediately became docile. They obediently looked at Ozawa and asked, "What's the matter?"

"You guys... did you just mention... Kobayashi Aotori?!" Ozawa said urgently, her eyes red from urgency.

"What school?! Has the match already ended?! How did Kobayashi Aotori perform??"

Even with the camera present, the young couple found it hard to maintain composure. They forcefully freed themselves from Ozawa's tight grip on their wrists, looking at her with a strange expression.

"You don't know that Kobayashi Aotori joined Shiratorizawa?" said the male partner with a face full of disdain.

The female partner spoke matter-of-factly, answering her second question, "Are you kidding? With Kobayashi Aotori and Wakatoshi Ushijima on the team, the match naturally ended quickly."

At this point, her excited emotions slightly calmed down, and she made a thoughtful gesture, "As for the performance... I remember the first round of serves! Kobayashi-sama scored seven points in a row!"
