"What? Again?" Hinata says as he watches Oikawa score another point from purely just his serves. 

"That's his fourth service ace in a row" Asahi says as he looks at Oikawa. 

"It's what Toru-chan is best at" Kirika says as she rubs her forehead, "those shitty, annoying service aces'.". 

"His power goes without saying, but that control is pretty nasty, too" Ukai says as he looks at the scoreboard. 

"But if they can do something about that serve..." Hinata says as he looks at Ukai. 

"It's true that his serves are scary" Sugawara says as he leans forward, "but Oikawa, as a setter, is completely unknown to us, apart from the little bit of information Kirika-chan has given us". 

"One more! Nice serve!" Iwaizumi says as Oikawa gets ready to serve again. 

The serve goes over the net to the other team, one of the players receiving it but it flies back over the net to Aoba Johsai. 

"Alright" Watari says as he receives the ball. 

"Okay" Oikawa says as he gets ready to toss. 

"You know, setters... are like orchestra conductors" Ukai says as he rests his chin in his hand, "even if you have the same song and same orchestra, if the conductor is different, the sound is different". 

Oikawa tosses the ball to Iwaizumi who spikes the ball, the ball hitting the other side of the court, scoring Aoba Johsai a point. 

"How do I put this... they've got a very good transition" Sugawara says as he sighs. 

"Oikawa-san and Iwaizumi-san, that #4 on the left" Kageyama says as he looks at Iwaizumi, "apparently those two have been on the same team since grade school. They're linked, both mentally and physically". 

"I don't really think the second year setter's level was lower in the practice match" Ukai says as he rubs his chin, "I mean, they're in Seijoh. I think it's just that Oikawa knows everything there is to know about Seijoh's team and is helping them bring out their A-game". 

"The Great King is so awesome!" Hinata says happily, "I want to hurry up and play him!". 

"Yeah! I hope he aims his serves at me!" Nishinoya says as he and Hinata stand up, "I totally want to get them!". 

"Noya-san's awesome, too!" Hinata says as he looks at Nishinoya. 

"Well, isn't that promising" Ukai says as he looks at Hinata and Nishinoya. 

"Hey, look, Shoyo!" Nishinoya says as he points at something over the railing, "a TV crew's here!". 

"TV?! Awesome! I wanna be on TV, too!" Hinata says as he leans over the railing, Kirika holding onto the back of his and Nishinoya's shirts so they don't slip over and fall. 

"Hey, now" the tournament moderator says as he looks up at Nishinoya and Hinata, "the two junior high- maybe you're grade school kids? Quiet down a little". 

Kirika bites her lip to stifle her laughter as she pulls Nishinoya and Hinata back into their seats while the rest of the team chuckle to themselves. They all watch as Oikawa tosses to Kindaichi who manages to spike the ball onto the other side of the court, making them with the game. Kageyama watches closely as Oikawa and the rest of the Aoba Johsai team come off of the court. 

"Kirika-chan, Kirika-chan" Oikawa says as he runs to the viewing area, "did you see that? We won! Do I get anything for winning?". 

"Like what, Toru-chan?" Kirika asks as the team gets ready to leave to the bus.
