20: high school volleyball

     "And then he said: 'I quit school at 16 to sell drugs to provide for my Nana!' and so I told him, 'then you haven't experienced the epic highs and lows of high school volleyball'!"

     You were listening to another one of Tendou's stories which was full of memes, with at least one in every sentence. From what you'd seen of Tendou, you could tell that he was very... charismatic. Perhaps a little bit too charismatic? But then again, where is the border?

     "Haven't you seen that video, (name)? It's like... from Riverfail, or something."

     "Isn't it Riverdale?"

     "Yes, but I don't like it. So I've knighted it Riverfail."

     "Right, ok. I see where you're coming from. But aren't  you taking me to the boy's volleyball club?"

     Tendou stopped for a minute. "You know what? I've just realised that." He turned to face you, his blood-red-demon eyes glaring into your soul. "You're coming to meet the boys now."

     Your red-headed friend could be quite scary, so you had no choice but to say yes. Tendou opened the big doors of one of the four gyms to reveal a bunch of sweaty teenage boys playing volleyball. You could only recognise Reon and Ushijima, but there were a lot of people in the club. It wasn't anything like Kitagawa Daiichi, where in the girls' club there were six of you, and in the boys' club there were around nine. No - here, there must have been about twenty.

     And that was just the boys' club.

     The girls' club was probably just as big, but full of girls who wanted to impress Ushijima. I mean, he must have a fan club. Or the fan club could be for Reon (because you have to admit, Reon is very cute).

     "Hello boys!" Excitedly yelled Tendou at the top of his lungs, "I've brought us a lady!"

     They all turned around at the word 'lady'. Well, apart from Ushijima, as he wasn't that interested in ladies. A few of them even let their jaws drop to the floor, whereas others were more subtle about it. It seemed as though they weren't used to seeing women here unless they were coming to big Ushijima.

"Ah, hello everyone," you greeted, trying to sound gentle and kind, "I'm (name) (last name), and I'm going to be on the girls' team. I'm not a female manager, however."

One or two of them groaned, and the rest of them just stayed quiet. It was rather awkward.

"Since no one else is introducing themselves, I suppose I should go first," one white-haired boy spoke, standing up without a smile evident on his face, "my name is Semi Eita. It's nice to meet you. I suppose you've met Tendou already...?"

     "I have," you replied, "he's been very nice."

     "Ergh... I'm surprised. He's an arse most of the time."

     "I am not!" Interrupted Tendou, "I was only an arse to you one time because you fused my Arsene with some really terrible shadow on Persona 5-"

     "Arsene stops learning new skills at level five, he's useless!"

     "But he's beautiful!"

     "Wouldn't you rather beat the game?"

     "I would, but not without Arsene!"

     "I have no clue what you're on about right now," you quickly intercepted, ending their argument (which I, sadly, relate to), "But I need to get to the girls' gym."
