It was yet another day without cream puffs for Toshi. Toshi was thinking that he could probably secretly buy some so he could have his daily dose. The second year heads to the gym with a carton of chocolate milk in his hand. This was because the vending machine didn't seem to have any strawberry milk and Toshi felt like crying upon making that discovery. First he couldn't eat cream puffs for a few days and now his beloved strawberry milk was out of stock? Toshi could only assume that the world was against him.

"Rolling.... Thunder!" Noya exclaims as he rolls after receiving the ball.

Tanaka bursts out in laughter at Noya's actions. Toshi immediately gave Noya a high five. To him, rolling thunder was amazing and Toshi could only hope to create something just as good.

"Nice receive." Suga says.

"That's just an ordinary rolling receive." Tanaka points out.

"Why did he yell that out?" Kageyama mutters.

"What was that?" Tsukishima snickers as Yamaguchi tries to hide his laughter.

"Kageyama. Tsukishima. Yamaguchi." Noya shouts, "I'm going to lecture you all. Crouch down! I mean, sit down! Get lower than my line of vision!"

"Teach me! Teach me the rolling thunder!" Hinata begs.

"Rolling thunder is nothing to laugh about!" Toshi hits a curled up fist on his open palm, "Rolling thunder is a gift from the Gods!"

Just then Takeda bursts into the gym, asking everyone to listen to what he has to say. The volleyball team gathers around Takeda patiently waiting for him to speak.

"We're doing it again this year, aren't we?" Takeda asks. "Golden week training camp!"

"Yes. We still need a lot of practice." Daichi answers.

Everyone seems to have a calm expression. Toshi on the other hand almost vibrates with excitement. He could finally take part in practices again once the training camp began. Toshi had been longing for this and it was almost there in his grasp.

"One more thing. For the last day of golden week, I've arranged a practice match!" Takeda exclaims.

Toshi jumps in the air raising his fist as he does so. A bright smile makes its way onto his face, along with a slight blush dusting his cheeks. Toshi mentally thanks the Gods above. This truly was another gift from the Gods (the first of course being Noya's rolling thunder receives).

Upon Takeda revealing that Nekoma would be their opponent, Toshi promptly collapsed onto the gym floor. This was too much good news for Toshi to handle. He had always seen Nekoma play in official matches and had only wished to go up against them one day and it seemed that the day for him to do so had arrived.
