Spark! - Haikyuu!!

prologue

High school. You were finally finished middle school and moving onto your first year of high school. But the hard part was deciding on which high school to enroll in. You wanted a school that wasn't run down and had a good curriculum and most importantly, had a strong volleyball team.

One of your choices was Aoba Josai seeing as it was nearby and you had heard good news about their sports teams and the school in general. But your interest was set on another school in the area: Karasuno High School. Their sports teams hadn't made it to nationals let alone prefecturals in years. They were known as the "fallen crows". Crows that overtime, had forgotten how to fly. You believed however, that Karasuno could learn how to get back up on their feet and soar, maybe even as a better school than ever before.

...Plus the girls' uniforms were pretty cute.

One day you had returned home from school, bored out of your mind when you turned on the TV. You were surfing through channels on the tv. One channel caught your interest. You almost skipped it until you heard the loud cheering coming from your screen. Your eyes became glued to the screen as a brightly coloured ball was passed back and forth between two teams. You could sense the intense aura of the game and couldn't bring yourself to change to channel. They were on the last set with the team in black losing, but they weren't ready to give up.

The ball was returned by the opposing team, you leaned closer, anticipating what would happen next, when a boy sped from the back of the court to the front of the net with amazing speed. Your breath caught in your throat as you watched him jump at an incredible height, jumping high over the net and spiking the ball with such force. You were amazed at how a boy with such a short height could be capable of such speed and jumping to such heights. You wanted to be like him, and prove that despite your appearance, you could do far more. That being a girl, you could make it just as far as any boy when it came to sports.

Inspired to enroll into Karasuno, you didn't hesitate to fill in a registration form. You didn't even bother to read through the long list of clubs as you had your mind set on volleyball, checking the box in pen to show your confidence. No backing out now. You dropped off your registration form and prayed to the gods you'd be accepted into Karasuno.
