Chapter Six- Practice Match, P.T-2

"You guys can do quick attacks and you didn't tell me?" Tanaka exclaimed loudly, you just laughed at his flabbergasted expression before analyzing the situation carefully.

'It seems... They've never done a quick attack before. This must be their first time...'

"What's that?"

"What do you mean what's that- Hinata!" you shouted, face-palming at Hinata's lack of volleyball knowledge. For someone obsessed with volleyball, he didn't know much about tactics or techniques- if not at all.

"The crazy fast attack you just did!" Tanaka explains, looking towards Hinata as if he'd lost his mind and (Y/n) couldn't blame him- how did he not know anything about a quick attack if 'quick' is in it's name?

"Huh? No... The only sets I've ever hit were way up high in the air" Hinata counters, doing a small hand action for emphasis. 

"You literally just did it! Remember in middle school when that rookie setter messed up that set, but you hit it anyway? Like that."

"Huh? But I don't even remember how I did it..." Hinata admits sheepishly. "Whatever, i'll still hit any set that comes my way, you just wait and see!" You couldn't help but smile at Kageyama's facial expression, which for once didn't look cold or uncaring, before responding:

"You've never done combos before so that's impossible for you..."

"Don't be ridiculous!" Hinata complains, "you don't get to act like a wimp just stop it!"

"Not very regal of you sire" Tsukishima comments from the other side of the net. You personally resist the urge to strangle him to death- and he was in your class! How unlucky is that? You'll have to see him everyday!

"You're gonna pay for that, I promise you!" Hinata announces, getting more and more annoyed by the second by Tsukishima's all-knowing smirk.

"Look at you getting all bent out of shape - you think you can bulldoze your way out of anything, you know that right? Not everyone is a good fit for every job, I mean you're clearly not cut out to be a spiker." You growled at him. How can he say that? 

"You're right, in middle school, even now, no matter how much I jump I always get blocked. Height is important for volleyball, you can't always just jump real high to make up for being short like me. But still, that never stopped me from being a spiker, I don't care whether I'm cut out for it or not; I'll do the best I can with what I've got and I'll win! I'm on this court and I'm not going anywhere!" Hinata exclaims, gripping the front of his t-shirt.

'Oh Hinata.'

Tsukishima just sighed, knowing that Hinata will refuse to give up. "Have you even listened to work I've said- It doesn't really work that way shortie. You can't substitute spirit for height, unless you want to be a libero that is."

"I open up the wall, and block the spiker. That's the setters job." You stared agape at Kageyama; did he just... Stand up for Hinata?

Kageyama suddenly grips the back of Hinata's shirt, dragging him to the opposite side of the court, Hinata giving shouts of protest.

'Well that was short lived...' 

"What the-" Hinata is cut off by Kageyama pushing him down by his head. You sweatdrop at his antics- it's as if he's barely had made human contact before.

"Listen up, if you can't make the shot, then I want you to go around them and to hit my sets with all the power and agility you've got."

"That's how you explain quick attacks?!" You laugh at Tanka's face, wiping a tear from your eye with all your laughter. You loved this team.
