Karasuno's Mangers: Little Ukai and The Runaway

56: Viva La Resistance Oui Oui

Seijoh's setter set the ball to their left side. Takita could tell by the angle that it would be hit cross-court.

Tanaka noticed it too. He was positioned against the spiker's dominant arm and jumped to block. Takita felt his heart in his throat as he leaped.

"Ahhh!" he yelled.

Tanaka flinched. "Why are you screaming?"

"I don't know!?"

The volleyball hit Takita's forearm and dropped onto Seijoh's court. The gymnasium went quiet. The referee gave the point to Karasuno.

A quick attack was coming. Takita read it from how the setter angled his body and the snap of his wrists. He was on the far right side of the court and no one was covering the left. He cussed under his breath. Sejoh's setter was manipulating Karasuno's entire team to shift to the right side, leaving the left open so he could execute a quick attack.

"Ahhh!" he scream, nearly knocking over Kageyama as he flung his body to the left side. He threw his arms out, focusing the power into his fingertips.

The volleyball slapped against his wrists and because his reach was over the net, it bounced onto Seijoh's court.

"Heck yeah!"

"That's my man!"

Tanaka gripped his shoulders. "Why are you screaming?"

Takita had steadied himself, careful to avoid touching the net. He coughed. "I don't know!?"

They had no choice but to send the ball back. Kageyama bumped it over to Seijoh's setter who looked livid. He fell to his knees for the receive and sent it to their wing spiker. Takita realized once again that Seijoh had forced Karasuno to leave a third of their court open. He cussed and jumped sideways, throwing his hands over the net.

"Ahhh!"

He felt the plastic material on his fingertips and cringed, waiting for the referee to call him on a net touch. the ball slammed his hands and dropped on Seijoh's court.

Takita tripped over his own feet but caught himself before he fell. The whistle blew, Karasuno got the point.

"Dude what the hell?"

"Takita you're amazing!"

"Why," Tanaka wheezed as he grabbed his shoulders and shook him, "why are you screaming?"

"I don't know!?"

And he didn't. It was like a bodily reaction he had no control over. As soon as his mind realized that he had jumped, it chose to open his mouth and let out the anxiety he was feeling in the form of a shriek.

Shoji cussed and tackled him.

"Get off of me," he grunted, but Shoji was clinging onto him and spitting more cuss words.

"I knew you could do it. You stupid loser, idiot. I knew it. I knew you were useful, you have a purpose, you filthy bastard you!"

"Get off of me or I'll throat punch you."

"Damn noodle has a purpose!"

The referee blew his whistle twice in warning. Ennoshita ran and tore the two away from each other.

"Nice block out. Still you two are on opposite positions for a reason. Stay away from each other."

They bowed and apologized to him as well as the referee.
