IN THE VAST ARENA, the cheers were deafening. Even someone like Kuroo couldn't help but twitch his lips as the loud sounds rang in his ears. A trace of cold sweat slowly slid down his forehead, he smiled bitterly.

If he wasn't mistaken, at least half of the audience in the venue weren't so-called "loyal fans" of Kobayashi Aotori.

—Most of them were probably just ordinary spectators here to watch the volleyball game, perhaps out of a momentary interest.

But Kuroo dared to guarantee that now they must be completely immersed in the game in front of them, and without even realizing it themselves, they have been unknowingly conquered by Kobayashi Aotori's personal charm and are cheering for him involuntarily.

Kuroo rubbed his forehead with one hand, helplessly looking at the youth on the opposite side who was staring at his own court's boundary with a "malicious" look on his face.

...This guy, no matter what happens, he either smiles sarcastically or is extremely cold to others. How come he is so popular with the public?

Didn't everyone feel angry about his arrogance during middle school? How did everyone's attitude change so drastically once he got to high school??

Narrator: You're the same.

At this moment, Kobayashi Aotori wasn't as calm inside as he appeared.

Kobayashi Aotori was in a state of extreme panic.

Unseen by anyone, his pupils were trembling violently in the center of his eyes.

—Was it my illusion just now?

Just now, when he held the volleyball and stood behind the service line, that wave of heat from outside the court... What was that?

Kobayashi Aotori-san was flustered.

Perhaps it was because today's venue was especially heated, or perhaps it was because the audience was always particularly interested in this kind of dramatic turnaround. In any case, the cheers just now were more spectacular than anything Aotori had ever heard.

As a result, this wave of cheers forcefully broke Kobayashi Aotori's concentration, domineeringly and unreasonably barging into his mind, turning it into a tangled mess. His pupils seemed to turn into spirals for a moment.

If it weren't for the fact that his natural expression rarely changed so vividly, steam would be shooting out of his head.

—Why, why?

Kobayashi Aotori held the ball with one hand, his free hand instinctively hiding behind his back, trembling slightly, trying to conceal his panicking heart.

—Why is everyone shouting my name?! I-I just served! I haven't scored yet!!

Shouldn't the name-calling phase be done after the points are scored?!
