"HATOYAMA!!!"

The sound of the crowd's cheering surrounded the gigantic gymnasium.

"Fly! Fly! Pigeons of the Sky!"

The lively cheers of the crowd always put their team at ease when playing against their opponents.

"GO! GO! SUZUMEBACHI!"

Muffled cheers from the opposing side seemed to be overpowered by the boisterous crowd of the champions.

Breathe in... Breathe out...

"Left!" Called one of the spikers.

Their setter took a very quick glance, that went unnoticed by the opponents, at her teammate before she made the decision to toss a fast one at her.

"Finish it in one shot, Ace!" Yelled the setter with golden eyes, glaring at the ball that was tossed by her.

168.29 centimeters to the right and 8 centimeters away from the line... 48% amount of power and 52% amount of control used... Their libero will assume things wrong from here.

Whilst on the mid air, their Ace fixated her eyes away from the ball to the opposing libero.

Even if she noticed it coming... She won't make it in time...

*WHAM!!!*

"OUT!" Suzumebachi's libero called out.

It was such a crucial moment as silent befalls across the stadium. The sound of the ball being spiked on the opposite court can only be heard.

Suzumebachi's libero stared at one of the line judges as they started to squint their eyes at the end line where the ball somewhat landed.

Hatoyama's Ace landed on her feet, straightened her position, and lazed her purple eyes all over the opposing side.
The line judges slightly moved their arms, startling them due to this dreadful moment.

Fweh... It's decided that we get to play more—!

Her head started to throb in pain, making her wince at the sudden sensation. She grabbed her head with her left hand as she tried to focus her attention to the judges.

Why..? Why does it have to be now?

Her breathing became unsteady, her head is starting to spin, and her knees are about to give in. The Ace suddenly shook her head to get her attention back to the line judges.

They pointed their flags downward, indicating that the ball was in bounds.

The referee blew the whistle. Hatoyama just scored from their set point. They won the fourth set. One more and they'll win the nationals. Meaning, that they will play more.

The crowd burst in loud cheers, proud and happy at their team's capabilities.

"YOSHAAA!!!"

Throwing their fists in the air, the girls cheered out happily, grateful at the fact that they will play in the final set.

Their setter, a petite 1st year with long curly blonde and brown ombre hair, ran to their Ace and jumped at her to give her a deadly hug.

"MAKOTO-CHAN! We get to play one more set again!"

The Ace, a slightly taller 1st year with long black and dyed light purple hair, just looked in horror at the incoming canon, preparing for hug of her life.
