End Match

Ven

"Alright! That's what I'm talking about! Nice job, you two!" I shouted, slapping Kageyama hard on the back.

"Ow" was his only reply.

"YEAH!" Hinata cried, high-fiving me.

"What's with all the ruckus?" Tsukishima muttered. "I would've expected you to be more quiet like you usually are,"

"Oh. Forgot to mention that I may have a small grudge against Ukai's," I snickered. "When I was younger, I had done a practice training with the Old Crow. Him and I were eternal rivals since then,"

"UWOH! So you know Coach Ukai pretty well?!" Hinata exclaimed.

"More than well! I know him like the cover of a book! We told each other our secrets, our different techniques- it was amazing! I feel bad for the old man in the hospital, but I'm not putting any pity for him on the court!" I pumped my fist in the air.

"HA! So you are the kid Gramps was talking about!" Coach Ukai shouted from the sidelines. "I knew it! Damn you, Dye Ven!"

"EAT CROW SHIT UKAI!!"

They're insane, the entire team sweatdropped at the sight of the two bickering.

I clapped my hands together. "Okay! Back to the match!"

*Time Skip*

"Say, Ven, can I ask you something?"

"Mm?" I looked up from where I was stretching to see Daichi standing above me. "Sure, Daichi-san. What's up?"

"I wanted to ask how long you've been playing volleyball for," Daichi said. "You've never told us your history with the sport,"

I fell quiet as he asked the question, considering it for a while.

"I've gotta say....I think I had started it just to get revenge on somebody I hated,"

"What," Daichi deadpanned.

"Yeah. It's kinda a personal story, but...."

"You don't have to tell us if you don't want to, Ven," Sugawara smiled.

"Since when the hell did you guys decide to listen in?" I exclaimed, realizing that the entire Karasuno team was surrounding me.

"Ven, please!" Hinata begged.

I stiffened at the sparkles surrounding his face and groaned.

"Okay...well, I guess it started off when I was about six years old..."

"I was never into volleyball before. Just playing lacrosse was my main priority. Then there was this girl in my class who was a total dick. She loved to show off, telling everybody how perfect she was. And to be honest? She really was perfect,"

"She had good grades, a list of skills, and exceeded any sport,"

"When I realized what a show off she was, I felt something inside me snap- almost like I wanted to prove to her she wasn't perfect,"

"Plus I wanted to get back at her for bullying me when I was younger,"

"PFFT," Nishinoya snorted.

"When I heard her say she was going to go for the tryouts for volleyball next spring, that got me riled up. And I realized that that was my chance to show that she wasn't the best,"

"So, I took up volleyball lessons and had my dad sign me up for the tryouts in the spring. Like I said before, I got good lessons from Coach Ukai and learned even more valuable skills,"
