TENDOU'S EXPRESSION WENT BLANK. He turned his head and was momentarily blinded by the shining eyes of Hinata—

When Hinata said this, his hands were clenched tightly into fists, his smile was incredibly bright, and he looked at Tendou, who was suddenly stunned, with a face full of excitement and anticipation.

"...Huh?" Tendou didn't quite catch the true meaning of Hinata's words from his unexpectedly different reaction.

Hinata wasn't annoyed. Instead, he became even more energized, pressing against the net. Even someone as eccentric as Tendou was shocked by this immense enthusiasm that he took two steps back.

"I'm saying, did Mr. Dynamite really say I'm the 'strongest decoy'?!"

Tendou blinked and tilted his head in confusion. Since it was written on paper, it was probably the real thought of the person... So he nodded slightly.

Suddenly, Kageyama and Tendou saw a pair of non-existent ears perk up high on Hinata's head.

"Yoo-hoo—!!"

With beady eyes, the two watched as Hinata, excited, instantly leaped into the air, raising his hands high, his legs doing a split in mid-air in a comical display.

"...Boke Hinata!" Kageyama's face darkened with genuine embarrassment for Hinata, and he shouted loudly—

So, under Tendou's gaze, the two instantly tangled and wrestled to the other side.


...HMM... How to put it?

Tendou pulled at the corner of his mouth, his eyes slightly drooping. It seemed he wasn't too pleased that his mockery had brought joy to the opposing team members.

Well, they're a bunch of idiots, right?

But speaking of which, Aotori seems to have a particular preference for idiots?

From being easily recruited to Shiratorizawa by Goshiki from the start, to now having a special regard for almost the entire idiot team of Karasuno.

If it was just about strength, there were many strong teams in the Interhigh Tournament before, but I've never seen Aotori ever show such great enthusiasm for any team.

He squinted his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing in them.

He could feel that Aotori's previously unbeatable psychological tactics were almost ineffective against Karasuno. He initially thought he could target the seemingly most emotionally susceptible Kageyama, but—

Unexpectedly, the atmosphere was changed in just a few words by that short orange-haired guy...

Well, he's quite an eyesore.
