The 4 left the 2nd years to guide the 1st years while they went to search for Toru's sister.


"Man.. I fucked up, didn't I?" Toru said, with clear sorrow and regret embedded in his words.

"No shit, Trashykawa. All she did was try to help you from shattering your body from training and you straight up fist fight her." Iwaizumi said in response.

"Do you have to make me feel any worse than I already do?" Toru whined at his friend.

"Yeah, he kinda does. You straight up blew up on her. Never thought I'd live to see the day Itsuki-chan threw a punch on Toru." Makki added on, not making Toru feel any better.

"I agree, though, where would she be anyway? She just left once you told her to fuck off." Mattsukawa pointed out.


Some rustling was heard from the tree standing in front of them.


"Itsuki-chan? Is that you?" Iwaizumi asked. She seemed closest with Toru for obvious reasons, but he was most likely not the face she wanted to see right now, so Iwaizumi was their other option.

The four move closer, to get a better look, to find Itsuki sitting on a thick branch of the tree.

"Yep." She said with a straight face. No emotions. Just a void.

"Interesting choice." Makki said.

"Yeah, it's a pretty peaceful place. Interesting conversation."


She descended the tree and went up to her brother. 


"Look, I'm sorry I slapped you and fought you."

Toru was caught a little off guard with the direct apology.

"It's alright. I know you were just looking out for me. It's just.. I can't stand being so inferior to Ushiwaka and Tobi-" He was cut off with a soft hand covering his lips from moving anymore.

"I understand it. Much more than you probably think. But, I can't stand to see you break physically, so please. Give yourself a break." She pleaded to her brother.

"Okay. I'll take a rest." Toru agreed. He didn't want to worry his sister.

"Thank you. Let's head back, shall we? You guys left the underclassmen unattended..." She led the squad back to the gym, ready for practice. Although Karasuno had won the practice match, it was only because their main weapon wasn't there. Who knows what'll happen when they start receiving those monster serves at the very beginning. That doesn't mean Karasuno wasn't working just as hard, or if anything, harder than Aoba Johsai. They all needed to train to their fullest.


"That was resolved... pretty quick. Given what happened." Makki pointed out. The rest of the 3rd years were all skeptical of how quickly that hole had been closed.

"Yeah... then again, Itsuki isn't the type of person to hold grudges, don't you think?" Mattsun added. She really wasn't. She was normally a really sweet, caring, and patient person. Seeing her lose her temper really is a rare sight.

Toru smoothed things over with the team, told them they were alright, and the problem was resolved.


Now the bigger problem was going to be their mother.
