Chapter 9

9-16 - With Karasuno leading so far. 

Masashi sported a broad smirk as he retreated slightly to his side of the court, preparing to serve. Eh? Looks like he was going to hit some jump serve. Katsu noticed too, moving back a step back in case it really was some secret jump serve Masashi had learnt from last year. 

*Whistles*

And yes, it was a jump serve.

 He threw the ball high into the air and sprinted to jump and hit the ball to our side. Thankfully, Katsu was able to react in time, as the ball headed straight towards him, he lifted his arms and received it, then bumping the ball just enough so that Jun managed to send the ball soaring into the air directly in front of Katsu before it fell. "Nice save Chihiro!" "Thanks captain!"

Jun sent the ball backwards to Kichi, who noticed I was prepared to spike. As the ball settled in his hands and as I leapt into the air ready to strike, Kichi pushed the ball into my hands, and I forcefully spiked it down next to the net. Kichi had been training to set the ball whenever I wanted to be the one to spike. Since his sets were likely to short or too long for the hitter to spike, we had trained him to push the ball instead of setting it, closely making it look like he was setting the ball. "Nice Kichi!" I said, walking up to Kichi and high-fived him. 

By the sidelines, Uchi seemed to be a little jealous.

9-17 said the scoreboard now. 

I looked over the net to see Masashi's face filled with outrage. Their Libero had to calm him down before it was our turn to serve. It was only a few seconds after, that we heard a thud from Johzenji's side of the court, Misaki had been pushed to the floor from none other than Masashi. That bastard, what was he doing? 

"Don't calm me down you peasant. Play better this time alright? Or I'll kick you out the team." Masashi grunted before he spat at Misaki. 

Misaki glared into Masashi's despairing eyes, then looked back subtlety and quietly murmuring "Yes - captain."

Katsu came towards the net, gripping it tightly and yelling to Masashi, "HEY! That's no way to treat your teammates idiot!" Masashi had turned his head to face Katsu, and scoffed, "Of course I can, I'm the captain after all. Now be quiet 'hero' and let me beat your ass."

Johzenji's coach stood up, his fists were clenched with displeasure. "Masashi-"

Masashi turned to the coach and stormed back to his spot on the court. 

He's got some serious problem with teamwork 100%. Katsu released the grip of the net and also headed back to his position to serve. But, something felt very, very off. The feel of the court had suddenly felt ominous...

Once Katsu served, the ball had hit the net, the serve being a little too short. "Sorry guys..." 

10-17

It was Johzenji's turn to serve, and they'd hit the ball to where Masato was, hard. The ball escaped from Masato's grasp as it had spun wildly. The scoreboard now - 11-17. Johzenji was slowly catching up, gaining points as we lost them. 

12-17

13-17

14-17

[Oh no! Johzenji has been steady with stealing points from Karasuno in the last few rallies! What's happening Karasuno??] It was Katsu's turn to serve again, but he missed the net for the second time.
