AFTER REPEATEDLY confirming that Yaku was indeed fine, merely startled by the volleyball that had just arrived in front of him in an instant, Kuroo finally returned to his position. At this moment, his expression towards Aotori was not just teasing but carried a deep seriousness and solemnity.

On the other side, Tendou noticed the rare expression of "sincere apology" on Aotori's face. He blinked and then showed a helpless smile. In the next moment, his iconic voice rang out:

"Oh my~ Aotori-chan is super—scary! This is truly 'murderous volleyball'!"

Aotori's expression froze. Just as the ahoge on his head seemed to droop to the ground out of guilt, they heard Tendou's next words:

"But speaking of which, in terms of the most 'physical contact' with the volleyball in past matches, Aotori-chan tops the list, right?"

Everyone was taken aback. They couldn't help but recall Aotori's commanding presence on the court, always getting hit in the face, head, or falling due to the ball, revealing a dazed expression with comical bruises on his face, making everyone stifle their laughter.

—The Nekoma team held tight expressions, forcing themselves to hold back their laughter.

—Didn't you see Aotori almost "kill" someone after Lev called him master in shame?!

...Though it was Yaku-senpai who suffered...

Thus, the once slightly stagnant court, and the originally guilt-ridden Aotori, returned to a lively atmosphere thanks to Tendou's interruption.

—This relaxed atmosphere was abruptly halted the moment that person took the volleyball at the service line.

In the Nekoma court, in the libero position, Yaku Morisuke's expression turned serious. Sensing that familiar gaze, his body tensed slightly.

—In the next moment, his lips curved into a subtle smile, and his eyes shone with obvious excitement.

Well, it seems that I underestimated you, Aotori.

Compared to during the Tokyo period, you've gotten way stronger—

—It's really becoming more and more exciting.

"BANG—!!"

Another hit, as unreasonable and impeccable as always. The volleyball brushed past Yaku's arm, making an exploding sound right next to him.

Yaku, once again missing the ball, clicked his tongue in frustration. Seeing the ball he almost caught seeming to come to life, quickly slipping out of his control range, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, which he forcefully suppressed.
