Third p.o.v
"What's this?" Asks a girl curious as she joins another girl and a boy who's leaning against the railing, watching the game with a bored expression. "I hear it's a practice match." Mutters the boy.
"The second set is about to start." Chimes the girl cheerfully.

Meanwhile

As Hinata is standing near the net as the match is about to start, Kindaichi whispers with a mocking undertone to him, "Hey, teach me later how to serve to the back of the head." Before Hinata can clap back, Tsukishima also decides to join the fun. "Teach me later, too." The loud, shrill sound of the whistle cuts through the air, indicating the beginning of the second set.
"Ennoshita, nice serve." Calls sawamura-senpai out as the said one readies himself. "You'll do the same as in the three-on-three match. You go in max speed and jump and swing where there is no blocker. Just be careful you don't bump into other spikers." Kageyama's voice echoes through Hinata's head as he takes a defensive stance before the net.

Zayd p.o.v
"Ennoshita, nice serve." I turn back to my notebook with a concentrated crease between my eyebrows. I feel like we're missing something, somehow. The frown deepens as I start writing them down with their numbers and their strong points, weak points etc. Number twelve...My eyes flicker over to him. Hmmm...
Meanwhile I'm also checking how the match is going from time to time. .رقم 12 هو الأطول في فريقه ، مما يجعله الأفضل ملاءمة للحظر ، والتسلل على شخص أصغر منه." (Number 12 is the tallest on his team, obviously, making him the best suited for blocking, and spiking over someone who's smaller than him).
I slowly start writing, consistently checking his body from time to time as Karasuno and Seijo are battling against each other. "Um, Andou-kun?" A voice cuts me out of my thoughts just as I'm about to finish a sentence. Now I forgot what I was about to write.
But I look up to see Sugawara-senpai giving me a curious glance at my notebook full of...well, notes, and turns to me again. "What are you writing about?" I scoot a little over so he can sit next to me and still having a curious glance in his eyes, he complies. Uhm....How can I explain it the best?
"Well, ah...." I stumble over my words, trying to think to come up with a response out of nowhere and gaze at the field. The ball comes over the net and I see Kageyama about to set the ball. My eyebrows furrow as soon I notice that the ball is set too high for Hinata who tries to spike, but obviously misses. The point goes to Aoba Johsai. The boy who I met before and was supposed to guard Hinata, smirks as he taunts him.
"If you can't spike a ball like that, the King will get mad." My eyebrow twitches as I notice Hinata freezing up at his words. I'm beginning to dislike someone. Luckily, instead of getting mad, Kageyama simply excuses himself.
"My bad. That toss was too high." The teenager that just taunted Hinata and Kageyama, stares in shock at the first-years, not expecting in a million years to have apologized to another teammate.

Third p.o.v
Kindaichi hears a familiar voice calling him and glances to the side. "سلام, excuse me?" (Hello?). He flinches as Zayd gives him a close-eyed smile, looking positively deadly with the aura surrounding him.
"It seems like you already forget what we 'talked' about? If you didn't, I hope you will kep your insults to yourself from now on, understood?" Sugawara, who has been watching the exchange next to Zayd, gulps audible. Looks like Zayd is almost even more scary than Daichi.
"I-I...I'm sorry..."
"Oh, you don't have to apologize to me." He waves his hands around, "I'm not the one you insulted, instead you should say sorry to Kageyama-san." The strained smile that Zayd has on his lips, don't hide the distaste behind the words and his team shivers at his tone.

Zayd p.o.v
Feeling satisfied at the response, I shake my head slightly before turning back to my notebook again.
"These are notes about the opposite team." Sugawara-senpai creases his eyebrows, getting a backlash from the sudden change of topics.
"Huh?" I gesture to my notes, which are mostly in Arabic with English words mixed through it, making it seem more full of scribbles then actually a notebook with analyzes.
"This is my notebook full of analytics about some people I encountered, and I'm right now finishing about Seijo's team, like their weak points and their strong points." A confused look crosses his face.
"What do you mean?" I close my book with a soft thud and turn my body sideways so I'm facing him. "For example, with the way you've been watching the match, you have clearly some game sense. And I've been watching some games back then, and have noticed that your technique is also pretty good, although you lack in stamina and speed, as the videos have shown you run out pretty fast. Also," I cut myself off. I have probably been rambling again, oh no. I wave my hands around, panicked at having offended Sugawara-senpai in some way.
"I have been rambling, haven't I? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
A warm laugh interrupts my panicking. "Wow." He let's out a breathy chuckle. "That is...interesting to say the least." My lips quirk up a bit at that.
"If you want...." I fiddle with my fingers, "I could help you sometime? Build up some stamina and speed?" He smiles.
"I would like that." Before I can say anything else, a voice from the court pulls my attention to it again.
"One point!" Ennoshita receives the serve neatly, sending the ball straight to Kageyama who is ready to toss the volleyball. Hinata starts running as Tanaka calls out to Kageyama to toss the ball so he can spike it. Before the middle blocker can decide which one to block, the ball is already on the other side of the court.
"Yes!"
"Yes!" Everyone from Karasuno cheers loudly, finally receiving a point. Sugawara-senpai and Takeda-sensei jump also up at their voices, yelling an excited 'yes'. Tsukishima-san looks mostly annoyed and put off by it. "There it is, the freak toss-and-spike." I can hear him muttering after I strained my ears to hear what he was saying.
"Did you see that? That was fast!"
"Woah!" People who were curiously watching the game are commenting left and right on Hinata's spike.
"Hinata, Kageyama." Sawamura-senpai waves them over and they join the group huddled together with confused expressions but follows their examples quickly. They clench their fists and with their hand that is left throw it over someone else's shoulder. "One-two...Yeah!"
"Woah!" Hinata-san stares at his fist in amazement. "It's like team spirit!" Tanaka-senpai gives him a ridiculous look. "Huh?" He smirks. "Not like. It's for real." An excited smile forms on Hinata's lips, a bubbly air appears around him.
"Right, right!" They can make a big comeback.

Third p.o.v
The three students of Seijo are watching with rapid attention to the match. "I'm just a bystander and I can see how the blockers disperse." Mumbles the only guy surprised. The girl with short brown hair and big brown eyes jumps up and down enthusiastically.
"I didn't know Karasuno had such a strong team." Only to change her comment a little as she sees number five is hit in the face by the volleyball. She chuckles a little.
"Hinata, you idiot!"
"But they make a lot of mistakes, too."

Zayd p.o.v
The referee whistles and makes a T with his hands, indicating it's time for a break. Hinata seems to be speaking with the captain. Alright, then I will pass him a towel and bottle of water later to him. With that, I turn to Kageyama.
"You did well, Kageyama-san." I compliment him, giving him a towel. He takes it from me and wipes the sweat off of his face, sounding embarrassed as he thanks me.
"Uh, u-uhm... I wanted to thank you for standing up for me..." He trails off, not knowing what to say any further. I smile up at him.
"Don't worry about it. Besides, it was rude of how he spoke of you, regardless of your past, he shouldn't have done it in your face." I give him another small smile and pat his shoulder. Kageyama nods sheepishly as Hinata stares at the pair, pouting slightly at Kageyama receiving all the attention from Zayd.
