Respect (Sakusa x Reader) - DICONTINUED

Rule the court

The second day came quicker than expected, at least this time it wasn't a trek to get to like Shiratorizawa was. Despite never actually getting to Nationals you had still heard of this powerhouse school. It will be the first visit for you as they might have a good strong team for the boys it was the girls team that let you down.

Coach Irihata leads me into the gym, almost immediately everything stops, from the looks of things many of the boys here are third and second years with some first years. With the mixture of pale blues and white, you stand out like a sore thumb in your red tracksuit.

The coach clapped his hands ushering the team over towards you, to you this team reminded you of the close bonds the Nekoma team made. Their captain smugly smiles at you, you would rather watch paint dry than deal with yet another playboy.

"Boys this here is a secured candidate for the national youth team. She's here today to help with practice." He gestures his hand for you to talk the boys mouths gape open but the captain and a spiked haired boy remain somewhat calm throughout all of this.

"Yo. Call me Y/n. I'm from Nekoma and I'm here to break you. Tell me your names and positions." You sigh with your hands in your jacket, this time however you bore your eyes into the smug boys.

After introductions are made you remove your backpack and do some warm ups with the boys. Today you have full control over practice and so you are going to be working the boys to the bone.

After stretches you order them to do 30 minutes of yoga to fully relax the body, 5 laps around the gym and then it's time for some actual practice. Of course you warmed up with them so they would actually do the work you set them, a leader works with their team a boss orders and commands their team to do it.

You watch as Oikawa gets ready for a serve, the team today are working on serves and receives. Oikawa is the reason behind the team that everyone knows about today, his feud between Shiratorizawa has fuelled this team out of hatred for a particular person. It's quite admirable and pathetic to be frank, a team bonded by their third year captain and setter but what will happen to the team when he goes. Oikawa takes a deep breath in before throwing a high toss he pivots off his feet while swing his arm in a batting motion. It's going to be out but by the sheer force accumulated you can tell that it's meant for a hard receive but you know how it is you just couldn't help yourself.

You dive it was strong and if you weren't used to such power it would have swerved off from its path. The ball bounces from your forearms perfectly going up into the first box of the court where in a real game the setter would be able to perfectly set.

Gasps echo throughout the gym as Oikawa serve wasn't only a deemed failure but was picked up. You stand up already done with their practice and clap your hands not like you've already captured their attention.

"Alright line up. If one of you can even as much pick up one of my serves then you'll be rewarded. Failure to do so will only make it easier for me to select the strong from the weak." The boys lineup on the other side of the court ready in the low stance of a receive.

"Oikawa. You first." You smirk wanting to beat him down a peg. Just like before you get ready for your impossible swerve jump serve and just like before the ball swerves curving outwards Oikawa doesn't even dive for a ball that's pathway is clearly out except that it isn't. The ball curves back onto the court straight behind him skimming the line, it's in.

"Wah~Y/n~chan that that was amazing please teach me~" Oikawa whined with a hint of annoyance and jealousy ringing through his voice. You furrow your brows at his attempt to remain flirty and dorky while his true self begins to peek through.

You ignore his attempt in trying to converse with you and ask for another, you go through the team, not one of them came close to receiving let alone touching the ball.

"Well that wasn't surprising. Let's do some serves, Watari come here." You take the libero to your side while the boys pant after none stop 4 hour practice. "Serve until it hurts then you can finish."

You watch them closely analysing their movements, some were meant with purpose and others were just lucky that the ball flew over the net. The first years have promise, and so does the second years, but it was the third years that showed promise.

"Alright that's enough, I want them to have arms by the end of this." The coach claps his hands next to you, you grunt in agreement.

Both Oikawa and Iwaizumi come up to you, sweat trickles down their foreheads, their necks and their shirts stick to their tone bodices. Despite not wanting to acknowledge Oikawa like many of the japanese scouts are doing just because they haven't seen him in nationals means shit to you.

"Iwaizumi right? You have potential, your strong and a great leader, I have no idea why you aren't captain but hey ho. Oikawa I'm going to be real you're not what Japan is looking for, but maybe another country is. I have a friend that scouts players for other countries and he's currently looking for some to play the national team for Argentina. Think about it, here." You give them your card and Oikawa the scouts card, at first they make faces but Oikawa smiles, it's bright and filled with warmth, wow this guy can smile.

"Thank you Y/n-chan, t-that means a lot." He cries wiping the tears from his cheeks, damn does this guy need some validation. 

"Yeah well, I can give you a push in the right direction it's up to you to take it. Anyway I'm going to go I've got three other schools to help, hope I'll be seeing you in nationals." You nod at them, they both bow towards you, you then start to make your way out of the gym and back to the B&B, this time you head back to where the Nekoma boys are staying as the three schools are more closer to them.
