The second match soon starts after a short break. Fukurodani slowly gets used to Sakusa's spikes and can now receive about half of them. However, Sakusa is not an idiot. He is a natural strategist. Soon, Fukurodani finds themselves trailing behind yet again. Bokuto sits on the bench, horribly frustrated and restless. When the match gets tense, he will even pull his hair and shout.
The coach tells him to calm down. However, it isn't very effective since Bokuto is hard to control by nature and the coach himself can barely restrain his own agitation.
Not surprisingly, the second match is once again Itachiyama's win.
The third match starts with Bokuto finally in the game. The game goes on well with everyone in Fukurodani determined to at least win a set. Bokuto tests out his new spike and finally gets past the blockers who had blocked him the first time round. With this strong grit, Fukurodani finally gets their first win. The next set would determine whether they would go home second or have another chance to challenge the reigning volleyball champion team.
By now, everyone on court is panting. Bokuto the exception. Itachiyama on the other hand still seems raring to go. Bokuto is more determined than ever to win.
The two teams are now tied on 23-23. Sakusa serves. The ball is received by Fukurodani's libero. It is short though. Akaashi runs for the ball, he tosses, imperfectly due to the shortness of the ball. Bokuto spikes but gets kill blocked. Diving, Akaashi tries to reach for the ball. He does touch the ball, one second too late. The ball had already touched the floor.
The score is now 23-24 to Itachiyama's favour. Everyone waits tensely as Sakusa once again gets ready to serve. The balls whizzes past the net towards empty ground. The Fukurodani members at the back rush to get it. But just like that, the ball rebounds wildly off the captain's hand. The wing spiker at the side sprints to the ball. He does not make it in time. The ball touches the ground and bounces off even further away. Everyone in the Fukurodani team watches blankly as the ball bounces to a stop.
The whistle blows.
