The two teams had a short meeting before the start of the final set. Coaches on both sides advised their group of players in black and orange or white and turquoise.

Seijoh had their backs to Karasuno's flag, so Ai could see the crows' positions from the front.
Asahi served first, and then came a spike from the opposing ace.

For Oikawa's serves, Nishinoya, Daichi, and Asahi's triple team were assigned the mark.

The captain in turquoise served, and Asahi got it up. However, Kyōtani made a direct attack as instructed by Iwaizumi.

"Oikawa's serves are definitely a problem," Takinoue conceded.

"Come on, you have to stop him," Shimada pleaded.

Ai wanted to agree and mind the setter's serves, but her eyes kept going to the No. 16. Kyōtani had seemed like he was a slow starter who got stronger as the game went on, and his engines were still warmed up from the previous set.

"Fight on, Karasuno!" Yachi supported the team.

"Oikawa, one more nice serve!" the vice-captain yelled.

The people on the stands across from them yelled their support for the serve. "Olé!"

Thanks to the third-years receiving, they scored a point on the captain's second serve. Daichi managed to get it up, and Kageyama set it to Tanaka. The second-year got a block-out from Kyōtani. The two faced off after that, and Tsukishima watched their intimidation contest.

Shimada sighed in relief. "Whew, they somehow managed to cut off his serves."

"Well done, Ryū!" his sister cheered.

Ai nodded in agreement. Third set, 2-1.

"Tsukishima, nice serve!" Sugawara yelled.

It went to the libero, and this time, Kyōtani got a block-out from Tanaka.

"Nice kill," Kunimi called to his senpai from the side lethargically, and Matsukawa smiled upon seeing Kyōtani doing well.

Aoba Johsai was currently fighting Karasuno with a few weapons: an ace with power and strength, the number 16 who was an annoying decoy on top of his offensive prowess, and Oikawa, who was starting to land his fortified serves.
If they didn't do something about one of the three, Karasuno would be in serious trouble.
