Ch 1: First Year Middle School

Sota is at class 1-6 of Kitagawa Daiichi popular for its Volleyball Club.

Sota looked around the room blankly seeing all of them talk he was hesitating.

He was fidgeting until the end of the day he has not talked to a single soul well except when he needs to introduced himself.

He walks towards the gym where the Volleyball club is and he saw three other students around the gym door.

He walked behind them quietly.

The Gym doors open and came out the coach.

"You guys first years?" He asked.

"Yes!" All of them answer except Sota.

They all went in and saw all of their seniors practicing.

"All right everyone meet the first years." The coach called out.

All of them line up so are the first years.

"All right first year introduced yourself and say what position do you think you could play."

The first boy introduced himself.

"Ah Kageyama Tobio i want to be a setter." He introduced and bow.

"Kindaichi Yutaro i play Middle Blocker."

"Kunumi Akira i play Opposite hitter."

Sato looks around nervously.

"Boy with the longest hair introduced yourself." The coach said.

"Kanjirou .... Sota Wing Spiker or Opposite Hitter." He said as loud as he can.

"Hm?" The coach looked at him.

"Hm alright all of you seniors treat your Kouhais right ok?"

"Yes sir!"

"Kanjirou Sota right?" A guy ask which is Kindaichi.

Sota just looked away.

"Huh?"

Kunimi just walk in the background towards their senpais.

2 weeks later

The coach call them and started an announcement.

"Alright this saturday at 9am were having the first years fight agaisnt each other." The coach started.

Everyone nodded.

"Here are the teams."

Sota looks up.

"Oikawa you handle Kindaichi and Kanjirou."

Sota stagger and took a step away from the line.

"~~Hey you wound me Kouhai~~." Whine Oikawa from the other side.

Sota looked away with disgust.

For 2 weeks Sota only see him as a Senpai who loves attention.

"Other team is Iwaizumi with Kageyama and Kunimi."

Kageyama sulked at this.

Sota shyly raise his hand.

"No you cannot Switch team it will unbalanced when there are two setters." The Coach said bluntly.

Sota slowly lower his hand.

"Now back to practice!"

"Sir!"

Sota walks away quietly.
