Chapter 15, Late

THIRD POV

"Cover!" Ameri shouted, sliding on the floor as the ball she received was slightly off.

The team was slightly struggling, after 20 minutes of arriving Shinzen High, their bodies were a little stiff from the 1 hour ride.

Not to mention, their sub setter Haide is panicking at little things. Her fast tosses were faster, so fast that the spikers can barely hit it.

Haide tossed to Kira, the ball hitting her palm a little. The ball got caught in the net but rolled to the other side, earning them a point.

"Stu. Pid," The ravenette coldly said to the slightly shaking tangerine.

"Eeek! Sorry," She slumped as she went to serve. Atleast her serves are decent, Kira thought.

Ameri sighed as she face palmed. When's the captain when you need her? She whined in her thoughts, glancing at the other team who looked awkward.

Karasuno was confused but concerned at how the spikers were a little harsh at the orange setter. She's panicking too much. Some of them thought.

"Ah, look King. Your very own Queen," A certain blonde smirked at a blueberry as he fumed.

"Tsukishima," He growled, about to fight him. Their captain cleared his throat and they immediately stopped, "Stop it, Kageyama and Tsukishima."

"They're like Kageyama and Hinata with switched positions," Number 5 said, hands on his hips while he stared at the duo. Number 3 sweatdropped but agreed, along with numbers 1 and 4.

Tsukishima just stood with a blank face, Kageyama stared at the orange head, and Hinata just stared confused.

The taller setter served, but Karasuno's number 5 was able to bump it to Kageyama.

The blockers went to Hinata as he did his signature high jump but they were already too late. Kageyama tossed it to Hinata's falling palm and scored.

"Damn kid," Hito sighed, along with Aoi and Kira.

Ameri glanced at the scoreboard, 18-15. Karasuno on the lead.

She felt a little embarassed as the other teams stared at them blankly, thinking that they were weak.

She sighed heavily. Where are you cap?

While Fushichou was struggling on Saitama, Shirome sipped her tea quietly as she watched her vice president bicker with the other vice president of the other school.

How is this an important meeting, they're literally just bickering over little things. The meeting was done since a few minutes ago, all they had to do was get each other to sign the papers and they're off.

Sighing, Shirome put her tea cup down. Purposely clanking it a little loud, the two vice presidents stopped at stared at her. All of the people that are council members also stared at her, a little frightened.

The other school's president gulped nervously as the smaller president slowly stood from her seat, her eyes never leaving the two.

"Mize-san, Wataini-san. Not to be rude but I have more important places to go. Can we please wrap this up already and go home? Meeting is done 10 minutes ago," She coldly said with a blank face, her red heavy gaze putting the pair under a lot of pressure.

All of the people in the room stared at her with respect and fear. They never knew that the 1st year council president who's wearing a sports outfit could be this intimidating.

Mize immediately nodded and signed the remaining papers, Wataini doing the same.

The gradient head sighed as she fixed the papers and gave it to her secretary, "I'll be going now."

She left with everyone's gaze on her back, gently closing the door she jogged to the entrance of the school. Changing on her sports shoes, she safely put her indoor shoes in her locker.

She ran outside the school and reached the car, taking off her backpack she threw it beside her seat. Finally sitting in, she relaxed and sighed. She's now off to Saitama with the teams.

"Eeek!" Haide jumped as Kira threw her a cold look, failing to hit her fast toss.

23-18. Karasuno is leading.

"The hell, where is captain?" Aoi muttered under her breath.

Meanwhile, on the benches.

"Guren-san, Shiro just arrived and is about to finish her stretching on the other gym. She'll arrive soon," Kuro said as he eyed the gym doors.

The coach and super visor sighed and watched the team get in position.

"Man, I kinda feel bad for the girls' team," Fukurodani's number 7 said while resting on the bench.

The other teams were put on break, and now they're watching Karasuno and Fushichou. Some felt worried.

They're clearly underistimating us now. Ameri sadly thought.

"Konoha, just wait and you'll see!" Bokuto said, Konoha didn't feel reassured.

Shiro, where are you? Bokuto frowned.

Hinata's serve was out, so it was a chance for Fushichou to strike.

When Haide was about to serve, Kira approached her.

"You better get this in," She coldly said.

Haide rolled her eyes.

"Did you just roll your eyes at me?" Kira slightly shouted at her.

Ameri frowned, "Oi, don't fight now–"

"Stop embarassing me!" Haide shouted at her, the other boys just looked away, feeling awkward.

When Kira was about to retort, the gym doors opened.
