The Newbie ~ Tsukishima Kei

Chapter 23 ~ Seijoh

Signature Sentence: That one fucking hurt!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And now, Sugawara Senpai has taken over setter. I can't say I'm surprised, with that amp up in speed from Kageyama it'll be difficult to follow up and get out of habit.

Also, I'm very excited to see how Sugawara Senpai is at volleyball!

Once Sugawara got on the court, he punched Daichi's chest "Hey!", rubbed Tanaka's head and nearly non-existent hair "Hey!", karate chopped Asahi's side "Hey!", karate chopped Tsukishima's head, and double high-fived Nishinoya "Hey!". He also scolded Daichi on not being loud.

...

Sugamama San!

He then pulled Tsukishima over and whispered something in his ear. Better be something about the game.

The game started. Receive, and parallel toss! From decoy Tsukishima to spiker Tanaka. He was nearly blocked by Oikawa but either way the ball was received by their Libero.

Oikawa called to Iwaizumi and tossed.

The toss was obviously for him so Tsukishima, Sugawara, and Tanaka jumped up for a block. Tsukishima blocked it. Wait, Tsukishima?

If I remember Sugawara was where Tsukishima currently is... So that's what they were whispering about.

"Nice Tsukishima! Nice!" *Audible Gasp that earns side-eye* Sugawara compliments!!!?

I want to spike a toss from Sugawara Senpai!

And now Hinata is being switched in for Nishinoya. This time Sugawara whispered something to Hinata. Tactics!

Serve, receive, toss. An A Quick!

Hinata jumped up and blocked, earning us another point.

The next round was another quick. But from us this time! I can't believe they can do that. I need to train.

Again, they got a point, we got a point, they got a point, we got a point, etc. But now, it's their turn to serve. And they is Oikawa.

Both Tanaka and Nishinoya called for the ball, but Oikawa aimed between the two and got them a point.

Jump up and...? Jump float serve. The ball went to the center and we couldn't receive. They're at match point now.

Oikawa served again, this time Daichi Senpai saved it.

And nows the perfect time for a back attack. Hinata and Tanaka ran to the front as decoys while Asahi stayed in the back and jumped. Sugawara tossed, we spike and..!

They saved it. The ball went to Hinata from over the net. Hinata jumped up and... weakly slapped it over their block.

"You suck!"

Iwaizumi received it. Oikawa tossed, a quick, and Kindaichi spiked.

Hinata blocked. The ball went way over all of Aoba Johsai's players and straight towards the boundaries. Their libero went to receive, but failed.

...

The ball was called out.

It's time to switch sides and for the second set to begin.

We huddled up to talk with Coach Ukai. "Since the most troublesome thing we're facing is Oikawa's serves, we'll be changing up our defense to maximize efficiency with few players. Koizumi is now in for Daichi and our tallest players will be in the front row this time."
