Recap:
In the end, they managed to get her to stand on the stadiometer and got her to stand as straight as she could before moving the slider down to the top of her head.
"(your-height)." Oikawa read out from the measuring stand. "So you did grow! By like 5 cm (2")!"
"I told you I didn't shrink!" (Y/n) scolded. "Now go back to the gym! We're still not done yet!" she shooed them away before packing up her stuff.
On with Chapter 8:
3RD PERSON POV
"Introduce yourselves!" the coaches said to the new first years.
...
"Yahaba Shigeru, class 1-5."
"Watari Shinji, class 1-6."
"... Kyotani Kentaro, class 1-1."
...
It was the day the new batch of first years are finally attending training, and it was basically the same routine for our dear manager.
The regulars are having a practice match against each other while the other players are teaching the first years at least the basics of volleyball.
While taking down notes from the match, (Y/N) noticed some shouting happening from the first years.
"Kyotani," Coach Irihata called, "come sit down for awhile while you calm down." the student just grumbled under his breath but did what he was told because he didn't want to go against the head coach.
Meanwhile, the second years' were done with their current set. (Y/n) got up to give out their water bottles and towels.
Iwaizumi noticed Kyotani glaring at the ground while sitting at the side while the other 2nd years were still playing. "Is that guy in trouble already?" he asked before gulping down his water. "Mmm, I think so? I heard coach tell him to "calm down"." (Y/n) said while also looking at the annoyed 2nd year.
"He looks like an angry dog." Matsukawa commented before taking a drink. "Don't say that!" (Y/n) scolded.
While they were still enjoying their break, (Y/n) decided to walk to Kyotani. She didn't know why, but she felt like she should at least check up on how he's doing.
'He's younger than me but he's scaring me..' (Y/n) thought as she continued walking towards him with slight hesitance.
"Um, Kyotani-kun, are you alright?" (Y/n) asked upon reaching him.
He just stared at her with his naturally sharp eyes. (Y/n) stared back. She felt sweat going down her face while waiting for an answer.
A few more seconds passed before he gave a small nod.
It also took (Y/n) a few seconds to realize that Kyotani actually responded to her question before taking a seat beside him.
"So, what happened just now?" Sensing some progress, (Y/n) asked Kyotani once she got comfortable on the bench.
It took awhile for Kyotani to actually respond to her since he didn't really trust anyone in the gym, probably except the coaches, but (Y/n) was patient enough.
Kyotani realizing that (Y/n) is one of the people you can trust here, he ended up explaining how he needed to hit the ball at full strength or he doesn't feel satisfied. The coach and the other players think he's extra for doing so, but he doesn't care on what they think.
It didn't really make sense to (Y/n), but she still continued listening to his thoughts. She also tried to give her take on this, but he seemed to disagree on it anyways, insisting that he has to hit it at full strength.
"Hm, well then, Kyotani-kun. I hope you find a way to use that strength wisely in our games." (Y/n) said before standing up from her seat. The boys finished their break and she was about to head back.
"See you, Kyotani-kun." After receiving a nod of acknowledgement, she headed back to her original seat beside Coach Mizoguchi.
...
"Senpai! I can help you with that!" a first year with light brown hair said as he came running towards (Y/n), who was struggling to carry the water bottles and the dirty towels.
"Ah, thank you..." (Y/n) trailed off since she didn't remember what was his name.
"I'm Yahaba Shigeru! From class 1-5!" he said enthusiastically.
"Mm, thank you, Yahaba-kun." (Y/n) said before going to wash the towels while Yahaba followed behind.
After putting the towels in the washing machine, (Y/n) took back the water bottles. "Thanks again." she said.
"No problem, senpai! If you need help, I can help you anytime!" Yahaba once again enthusiastically replied, which caused (Y/n) to sweatdrop.
==N E X T / P R A C T I C E==
It was another day of practice. The day just ended and (Y/n) was doing her normal routine.
"Senpai! Do you need any help?" Yahaba immediately ran towards the manager after the coach had dismissed them.
"Ah, no need, Yahaba-kun, I'm fine." (Y/n) once again sweatdropped at the very friendly junior.
"Alright! Don't be afraid to ask for help, senpai~!" he said before running off to the locker rooms.
"Shouldn't I be the one to say that..?"
...
"Watari-kun, are you doing fine?" (Y/n) asked the libero. She was informed that Watari used to be a setter, but became a libero in highschool.
"A-Ah, yeah. I'm fine, (L/n)-senpai. Thanks for checking up on me." he thanked the manager.
"Don't be afraid to ask for help, okay?" the manager told him. Watari suddenly got shy and blushed a bit. "Mmm." he hummed while giving a small nod.
