"At that moment that he realized, he had fallen head over heels for a fox that he could never have".
Kimiko Udai was intelligent, beautiful, and talented; practically the perfect formula for the target of others' envy and hatred. After spending most...

"You're going too hard", Hinata cried out.
"For once I actually agree with him", Tsukishima grunted after another failed receive sent the ball flying up into the railings.
Yamaguchi flinched as well as he failed to receive the ball directed at him.
"I think she's doing fine", Kageyama stated monotonously, setting another toss to Kimiko as she went up for another spike.
"Bakayama! You're just saying that because your not on the receiving end!"
"He's not wrong."
The ravenette setter seemed to disagree with he two statements, narrowing his eyes at a tall blond. "At least Kimiko-san thinks my recieves are good enough that I don't need extra practice."
Taking pity on the 3 first years slouching with tired arms, Kimiko decided to give them a break. "Alright, we'll continue tomorrow before I leave. But you guys need to polish receives a lot more before Nationals", she chided with a frown. Soon, she would have to leave for championships and wouldn't be able to help them anymore.
The most worrisome thing was that her spikes weren't even that powerful, in her opinion (her past opponents would beg to differ). They had enough weight behind them that they could easily rival those from her male counterparts, but bring in someone like Ushijima and her spikes would seem weak.
However, what she lacked in power, she made up for with triple the speed and accuracy. Not to mention, strategy and technique - which would always send both blockers and receivers pulling out their hair in frustration. Her on-court manipulation was what garnered her the title of 'Vixen of the Court'.
She wasn't the only female ace ranked in the top 5 for show.
The concerning thing was that during practice she was aiming straight towards the 3 first years with no underhanded tricks, solely relying on the force of her spikes but yet, they still couldn't receive them.
Good receives takes practice and can't be achieved overnight, that she knew very well. At this point, the most she could do was offer tips on their positioning and get them used to heavy weighted spikes.
That way, they'll at least have something to go off of.
"Man, I can't believe you guys are complaining", Nishinoya exclaimed, looking disappointedly at the shaky first years while Tanaka nodded alongside in agreement.
"I wish she would spike at me like that so I can rolling thunder those", he continued animatedly while he jut a finger towards himself.
