"... Is this a little unfair?" Tsukkishima asked.

The volleyball team was divided into two groups. Asahi didn't want to participate in the challenge between Y/N and Kageyama so he stood at the side with Kiyoko.

Kageyama, Hinata, Tanaka, Nishinoya, Yamaguchi and Ennoshita Chikara were in one team while Daichi, Sugawara, Tsukkishima, Kinoshita Hisashi, Narita Kazuhito and Y/N were in another.

"How is it unfair?" Daichi asked.

Tsukkishima pointed to the other side of the net. "We're facing the King, Shrimpy, Tanaka-san and Nishinoya-san. Each are extremely good-"

"We'll win this," Y/N said coolly. "Trust me..."

Asahi blinked at the scoreboard.

24 to 17

Nishinoya's team were lagging far behind. And it's already the second set.

Daichi's team won the first set by a 25 to 18.

"Azumane-chan is very good, isn't she?" Kiyoko asked as they watched Y/N blocked Tanaka's spike successfully.

"Yes... She even managed to get one touch on the crazy spike from Hinata and Kageyama..." Asahi said.

"Suga-san!" Narita shouted as he received the ball.

Sugawara readied for a set.

"Sugawara-san!" Y/N waved her hand. "Left!"

Sugawara set to the left.

Bang!

She broke through Kageyama and Ennoshita's block.

25 to 17

Kageyama stared.

Y/N straightened up. "There was no problem in your setting," she said to him calmly.

"What-?"

"You're probably thinking that the problem lies within you," she said. "No, there isn't." She turned and walked away from the net.

Then she stopped. "Neither there's a problem with your spiking, blocking and serving." She continued walking.

The team stared as she walked to Kiyoko, bowed to her and said something. Kiyoko waved her hand and the two of them walked off.

"There isn't a problem...?" Ennoshita mumbled.

"Huh?! Then why did we lose?!" Nishinoya said indignantly.

"Yeah!" Tanaka agreed. The two of them looked at Asahi, who gave a start.

"Um..." He rubbed the back of his neck. "Maybe she's too good?"

"Huh?!" Nishinoya burst out. "Girls volleyball and boys volleyball are two different things-"

"You say that as if we do not know," Daichi interrupted.

"But she's here playing boys volleyball, and she looks so COOL!" Nishinoya plowed on, ignoring Daichi's remark.

Hinata nodded energetically. "Yeah! She looks so cool when she's spiking and all!" He started jumping. "I wanna spike like that!"

"But..." Ennoshita interrupted. "She said there's nothing wrong with our serving and everything. If there's nothing wrong, we still lost."

"Ah, she's hinting that there's room for improvement."

Takeda was standing at the door, peering at them good naturedly.

"Sensei!" The team greeted and bowed.

Takeda stepped into the gym. "I've been watching the practice match," he said.

"Did you hear what Y/N said to us?" Hinata tipped his head. Takeda nodded.

"As I said before, she is hinting that your serves, spikes and everything you use to win a volleyball match can be improved. There's no way you can stay at the standard you are at now, or you won't improve," Takeda said.

Asahi gave a hum of agreement. "She's always like this, seeking for improvement and giving others indirect advice on improving themselves and in whatever they do."

"Wait, so she's learnt volleyball before?" Kageyama asked.

Asahi stiffened. "Well... Yes... But do not ask her who taught her."

"Why not?" Hinata, Tanaka and Nishinoya chirped.

"It's a touchy subject for her," Asahi said delicately.

"And you will not ask her randomly," Daichi said strictly.

"We know that!" Tanaka replied.

"Oh, Takeda sensei." Kiyoko came out of the supply room, Y/N trailing behind her. "Azumane-chan, this is Takeda sensei, the teacher managing our team."

Y/N bowed. "Good afternoon, sensei. I'm Azumane Y/N."

"Good afternoon. I presume you are the new assistant manager?" Takeda asked. Y/N nodded. "I do hope you'll learn lots from Kiyoko."

"I'll try my best."
