"Kaji, nice serve!"
The pinch server of the opposing team did a menacing jump serve.
'Oh no... We're screwed! The other team is already in a match point, and they took the first set. I have to receive that serve, or else it's over for us...', Nishinoya, who was acting as a libero for his university's volleyball team, thought fearfully as he watched the ball coming towards them.
Swiftly, he ran, then outstrecthed his arms and received the ball.
"I'm sorry! It's short! Kojima-Senpai!", Nishinoya apologized as the blue and yellow ball bounced off his arms and called the setter to cover for his albeit short receive.
The setter ran to receive Nishinoya's short made a perfectly accurate toss towards the spiker to the left. The spiker did a feint, and scored another point since the opposite team wasn't able to receive the feint. The score was 21 for the team, and 24 for the opposing team.
"Let's turn the tables around!", cried the captain of Nishinoya's team.
"Yeah!", everyone else cheered.
Nishinoya then turned towards the crowd where he saw his beloved sweetheart, Arisa, cheering for him. He smiled when he heard her cheers.
"Go, Yuu! You can do it, my precious cupcake!", Arisa cheered.
Now, it was time for their team to serve, and the server scored via a service ace. The score became 22-24. Another serve from their team; the server then had a chance to hit the weakest receiver, but it was surprisingly saved by a libero's toss towards the ace, who spiked the volleyball with brute force, outbalancing one of the three middle blockers in Nishinoya's team and giving the ball a chance to ricochet between the arms of the blocker. Nishinoya's eyes widened in horror as he, the captain, and the right-wing spiker chased the ball, but the ball hit the ground before they could reach it. Tears fell from the defeated team's eyes, since they done their best, but lost.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!", Nishinoya wailed.
"It's OK, Nishinoya. Let us greet the people...", said the captain.
They greeted their supporters, and Nishinoya refused to glance at his girlfriend, feeling nervous because he feels like he didn't fulfill his promise to her.
"Yuu, win for me, our university, and fight a good fight!", Arisa exclaimed with a wink.
"I will!", Yuu replied jovially.
'Arisa... I failed you...', Nishinoya thought bitterly while he bit his lip to resist the urge to cry again, but tears still fell from his brown orbs.
"Yuu!", Arisa called him from the bleachers.
Nishinoya broke down as she called his name.
"I failed... I failed... I failed...", Nishinoya sobbed.
Arisa's eyes started to water as she saw her precious gem break down in tears. The team captain and vice captain comforted the down-hearted libero, as well as the other members of the team who were crying for their loss.
"Yuu...", Arisa cried and heaved a long sigh.
The next day, Arisa waited patiently for Nishinoya after their classes so that they can walk home together, but it is already getting late, and she was anxious, knowing that her parents imposed a curfew time on her.
She knew that if he arrives late, he is probably practicing volleyball. Arisa ran inside the university gym, and sure enough, she saw him doing Spartan rolling receives, throwing volleyballs using a great amount of force accompanied by screams of anger and frustration all by himself.
