CHAPTER ELEVEN - CONDUCTORS

TADAHIRO AND HIS TEAMMATES WATCH from the stands above the court, their eyes focusing on Aoba Johsai's game. Tadahiro watched as Oikawa did a jump serve that made the ball swerve to the side and get a point. "What? Again?" Hinata asked, shaking.

"Even I have to admit, he's good." Tadahiro commented.

"That's his fourth ace served in a row." Asahi stated as Tadahiro looked over at the score.

Aoba Johsai

21

Oomisaki

10

"They're not even letting Oomisaki have a chance to win." Tadahiro stated in his head.

"His power goes without saying, but that control is pretty nasty too." Ukai commented from behind Hinata.

"But if they can do something about that serve..." Hinata spoke but trailed off.

"It's true that his serves are scary, but Oikawa, as a setter, is completely unknown to us." Sugawara spoke, staring down at the game.

Tadahiro watched as Oikawa did another jump serve, the opposing team managed to save the ball as the ball goes up in the air, however, it was Aoba Johsai's chance ball as Tadahiro saw a player from Aoba Johsai receive the ball.

Oikawa gets into his setting position. "You know, setters... are like orchestra conductors." Tadahiro heard Ukai mumble from behind. Tadahiro glanced at him. "Even if you have the same song and same orchestra, if the conductor is different, the sound is different."

Tadahiro looked over to see Oikawa toss the ball to Iwaizumi, who spikes the ball onto the court and getting a point for his team.

Iwaizumi scores another point for his team as the audience for Aoba Johsai cheers. "How do I put this... They've got a very smooth transition." Sugawara mumbled.

Tadahiro saw that Kageyama was concentrated on the game. "Oikawa and Iwaizumi, that #4 on the left. Apparently those two have been on the same team since grade school. They're linked, both mentally and physically." Kageyama explained.

"That makes them even more dangerous." Tadahiro mumbled.

"I don't really think the second year setter's level was lower in the practice match. I mean, they're Seijoh." Ukai stated as Takeda nodded.

"Right." Takeda agreed.

"I think it's just that Oikawa knows everything there is to know about Seijoh's team and is helping them bring out their A-game." Ukai continued as everyone was silent. Tadahiro stared at Oikawa, who was serving again.

"The Great King is so awesome!"

Everyone looked over at Hinata who was beaming down, Nishinoya was also looking excited. "I want to hurry up and play him!" Hinata exclaimed.

"Yeah! I hope he aims his serves at me!" Nishinoya added in determination.

"I totally want to get them!"

"Noya's awesome, too!"

Takeda and Ukai chuckle at the duo. "Well, isn't that promising..." Ukai grins in amusement, as Tadahiro saw Nishinoya look down and point at something.

"Hey, look, Shoyo! A TV crew's here!" Nishinoya announced.

"TV?! Awesome! I wanna be on TV, too!" Hinata added as the two were excited like children on Christmas, Tadahiro rolled his eyes at the two.

"Hey, now..." A voice spoke up, making Tadahiro look down to see a guy staring at the two.

"You two junior high— maybe you're grade school kids? Quiet down a little." The guy stated as Nishinoya and Hinata wince at this and they both had a depressing aura around them.

"Grade..."

"Sorry..."

Their team chuckled and snickered at the two, finding it very amusing. Tadahiro looked back over to the game to watch Oikawa sat the volleyball to his teammate, who scored the winning point.

TWEEEET!

The crowd cheers for Aoba Johsai who won the game as the team walks off the court. Tadahiro watched as Kageyama also gets up to walk off with his bag as his team followed now that the match was over.

Tadahiro glanced back at Oikawa who felt someone's eyes on him as he flinched and turned around. He turns around and gave Tadahiro a wave.

The red head narrowed his eyes at him as he turned away and walked out of the gym. "I won't lose to you, Oikawa Tōru, and that's a promise..."

════ ∘◦ᵒ 𓅓 ᵒ◦∘ ════

Tadahiro was now on the bus, on the way back home. He was sleepy just like everyone else who was already asleep. He had managed to grab a window seat on the side with Daichi right next to him.

He had his headphones on, listening to music that came from his phone. His eyes were heavy as his head rested up against the window. He couldn't help but remember when he first got interested in volleyball. Way back when he was in America with his younger brother.

"Tadahiro!" A blonde haired male shouted in English as he tossed the ball to the 10 year old red head. He jumped up and spiked the ball as the opposing team's libero could barely receive it. Tadahiro's team cheered.

Tadahiro's 8 year old brother, Taiga, sighed in boredom. "You sure you don't wanna join in, Taiga?" His older brother asked as the younger Kagami looked at him.

"Volleyball's too complicated! Basketball is way better!" Taiga complained. "You promised me that you would drop me off at the basketball court!"

"Change of plans, little brother. Mom told me I was in charge of you." Tadahiro reminded him.

"Tatsuya is probably waiting for me at the court! And we're here because you wanted to play volleyball! You're so annoying!" Taiga scoffed.

The 10 year old rolled his eyes at the mention of his younger brother's friend. "Listen here, little tiger. One day, I'm gonna be the best spiker when I go back to Japan. I'll be playing on that huge court during Nationals with my team. Because I helped them get there. Wouldn't it be cool to have an older brother that's so known?"

"I guess..." Taiga mumbled.

"Great. But in order for me to reach that goal. I have to get better. We'll go to the basketball court after another game, all right?"

"Fine! I'll just do some dribbling to keep myself busy!"

Tadahiro smiled as he looked out the window. "Soon after that I left America and then met Tetsu and Ken-chan. Look where I am now, Taiga. I made it to one of the top three spikers in Japan and I have the best team ever." He thought, looking over at his team who were sleeping. "Now all there's left is making it to Nationals, and we'll get there. I'll be on that court even if it kills me."

Tadahiro sighed as he closed his eyes, deciding to get some rest.

════ ∘◦ᵒ 𓅓 ᵒ◦∘ ════

Tadahiro didn't know how long he was sleeping for, until he felt someone poke his cheek making him grumble and swat away their hand. They poked him again, making him furrow his brows and groan in annoyance.

"He looks calm while sleeping. Like... an angel?  Can we let him just stay like this?"

"Stupid, we can't leave Kagami-san on the bus."

"Kageyama's right. We need to wake him up."

"Oh, before you do, let me get a picture first!"

"Noya! You're too loud."

SNAP!

"Hey, can you send me that later?"

"Daichi, can you wake him up?

"Sure."

Tadahiro felt someone shake his shoulder gently. "Hey, come on, time to wake up." Tadahiro heard Daichi call out to him.

Tadahiro groaned as he opened his eyes to see his teammates staring at him. "We're home. Time to get up." Daichi informed with a gentle look. Tadahiro just nodded as he stretched and followed his team off the bus.

"Oh, and Noya-chan?" Tadahiro spoke up.

"Yes, senpai?" Nishinoya asked.

"You better delete that picture of me sleeping and not send it to anyone. Got it?" Tadahiro growled, bouncing off the bus as he heard Nishinoya gulp.

"S-Scary..." Nishinoya mumbled out.

"All right. We're going to have a meeting." Takeda announced as everyone got off.

"Right." Everyone replied tiredly.

"Takeda-sensei! The volleyball club is on TV!" A teacher from the school calls out, this gained the teams attention.

"TV?!" Hinata, Nishinoya, and Tanaka yell in excitement as they raced over.

Everyone got inside the faculty room, interested to see themselves on TV. "Please excuse us!" They said as they entered and looked at the TV.

"Now then... the first and second matches of the Miyagi Prefecture Preliminaries for the Inter-High School National Sporting Competition Volleyball Tournament were held, and heated matches ensued." The lady on TV announces.

"Oh!"

"It's really on!"

"TV!"

Tadahiro stared at Hinata, Nishinoya, and Tanaka who were sitting right at the front of the TV to watch. "It's just the local news." Tsukishima stated bluntly.

"Shut up!" Tanaka hissed at the tall first year.

"TV is TV!" Nishinoya added as Tadahiro sighed at the two.

The TV showed Shiratorizawa. "First, in the I Block, we have the ace player, Ushijima Wakatoshi, leading the reigning champions at Shiratorizawa Academy in their first game. They played against Ohgiminami High School, winning 25 to 10 in the first set, and 25 to 6 in the second set, not giving their opponents the slightest chance against them. They showed everyone why they're reigining champions." The lady on the news announced.

Tadahiro furrowed his eyebrows at this. "Damn that Ushiwaka. That bastard really pisses me off." He thinks to himself.

"25 to 6?" Tadahiro heard Asahi repeat in shock.

"Will they be able to make it to Nationals once again or will a team appear that can stop them? It'll be worth seeing." The lady stated as they moved away from Shiratorizawa.

"Yeah... Hopefully it'll be Karasuno." Tadahiro thought.

"Next, the A Block is also drawing interest." The lady started as Hinata, Nishinoya, and Tanaka inch closer, as this was Karasuno's block.

"A player you should definitely watch out for is Aoba Johsai High School's team captain, Oikawa Tōru. His dashing good looks draw in female fans, so he's a player with both skill and popularity to spare." The lady on the TV set said as Tadahiro saw Tanaka look as though he was gonna kill Oikawa, Nishinoya had a displeased look on his face, and Hinata just stared blankly at the screen.

"Tomorrow, going up against Aoba Johsai is a team that sped to unbelievable straight-set victory against Date Tech who were to place in the tournaments top eight the powerhouse, Karasuno High School." The lady spoke up, as Tadahiro slightly paid attention when he heard his team.

"We're gonna be on!" Nishinoya, Tanaka, and Hinata beam and blush at this, the screen cuts to Oikawa outside the Sendai gym, smiling at the camera. He waves making Tanaka and Nishinoya have a deadly look as Hinata once again had a blank look.

"We asked him what he thought about his opponent, Karasuno High School, who he'll be facing in the third match."

"They're a great team. They have one of the top three spikers, Kagami Tadahiro, on their team. I can't wait to face off against him." Oikawa waves at the camera as Tadahiro growled. "I hope... they go for broke." Oikawa informed the crew once more as everyone had a dark and depressing aura around them.

"They'll definitely be more heated matches tomorrow. We wish them the best. Next is the weather. We have Komata reporting from the Sendai Station." The lady announced as Tadahiro saw a teacher who called us over panic when he saw the team's aura.

"Th-There was a glimpse of your match at the very beginning! You all looked very cool!" The teacher says but it clearly didn't help them.

"Sensei, thank you." Daichi lowly spoke.

"Oh, it was nothing..." The teacher flinches.

"All right. Well, then... let's do this." Daichi spoke turning around as everyone nodded and walked out of the room with a dark look.

"Do what?"

"A m-meeting!"

Everyone headed inside of the gym. "Today's match against Date Tech is what you call 'the first sip of beer.'" Ukai announced as everyone stared at him with a deadpan look.

"He is aware that there are miniors here, right?" Tadahiro thought.

"That deliciousness of the first sip of beer is special, and you only get it in that first sip." Ukai added as everyone stared at him in confusion on what their coach was on about.

"Ukai, we should phrase that differently for the minors here." Takeda suggested as Ukai looked at them.

"Ahem. Well, the match with Date Tech was the first time we used the freak quick against them. Therefore, we were able to catch our opponents off guard. But we fought Seijoh once in the past, so they know at least some of our tricks. Still, I'm certain that your offense is stronger than theirs. First, we need to endure Oikawa's serves. His serves controlling the game's pace is what we want the least, but that's most likely that will happen. So, for right now, we have the basic 'everyone who's not the setter goes after the ball' formation to receive serves." Ukai goes on as they see him draw on the whiteboard.

"However, this time, we won't have the middle blocker, Hinata or Tsukishima, participate in receiving the serve. They'll concentrate solely on attacking." Ukai informed as Tadahiro glanced at his two juniors.

"Kay." Tsukishima responded with boredom.

"Okay." Hinata frowns.

"Hey, don't get so bummed out. We're just dividing up the work." Ukai assured the two before looking back to everyone else. "Oh, also, you guys saw Seijoh and thought, 'Oh, crap. They're strong' right?" Ukai asked as everyone widened their eyes at him.

"But... If you were seeing our match against Date Tech from the stands, you'd hesitate saying, 'What's with that blocking? Talk about scary, we can't win,' right? But you fought them, and won." Ukai stated as everyone listened to him.

"Tomorrow will be the same."

Everyone stayed quiet, taking in everything Ukai had told them. "All right!" Everyone announced as Hinata and Nishinoya jump up excitedly.

"All right. Let's clarify the formation a bit." Ukai announced.

"Right." Everyone replied.

════ ∘◦ᵒ 𓅓 ᵒ◦∘ ════

The meeting was finally finished. "All right. Make sure you're not late tomorrow." Ukai told them as they nodded.

"Right!"

Everyone headed off their own separate ways. Tadahiro headed on home as he unlocked his door and closed it right behind him.

He entered his room as he placed his volleyball bag down and took off his volleyball jacket, placing it on his desk chair.

"Perhaps I'll give Taiga a call. I haven't spoken to him face to face in awhile." Tadahiro thinks to himself as he opened his laptop to video call his little brother.

Soon enough, Taiga's face popped up on the screen. "Did I wake you up, Taiga?" Tadahiro asked, seeing his brother's tired face.

"No. I was already awake. What's wrong with you, Hiro? You usually never video call me." Taiga asked with concern in his voice.

Tadahiro sighed. "Karasuno is going up against Aoba Johsai tomorrow." He replied. "You remember that school I told you about? The one with the star setter?"

Taiga chuckled. "The one who you nicknamed pretty boy and I told you he kinda reminds me of the volleyball version of Kise?" He questioned.

"That's the one." Tadahiro responded. "I just— I don't want to let my team down, you know? If we loose, it's all over."

"You'll do fine, Hiro. Both you and your team. Seirin went up against two players that were apart of the Generation of Miracles, only losing to that bastard Aomine. If Seirin can beat Kise and Midorima, Karasuno can win against the Walmart version of Kise." Taiga stated, making Tadahiro snicker.

"I can't believe you're comparing basketball to volleyball right now. Besides your team had Kuroko-chan on your side." Tadahiro said.

"And Karasuno has you." Taiga reminded him. "You're one of the top three spikers in Japan. If anyone can go against that pretty boy setter, it's you."

"I don't know. Perhaps I'm just scared this is the last time I'll play with Dai-chan, Suga-chan, and Asa-chan." Tadahiro admitted.

"If they love volleyball as much as you, they wouldn't give up."

Tadahiro's phone buzzed as he looked to see who was messaging him. He found a text from Daichi.

Dai-chan❤️:
> You better not still be awake. You need to be in your best shape for tomorrow's match.

Tadahiro chuckled as he sent a reply and turned off his phone. "I better get some sleep, Taiga." He informed his little brother.

"Yeah, you're right. Keep me posted on if you win okay? Good luck." Taiga said.

"I'll need it. I'll try to visit you once Inter-High is over and done with. I want to watch you win the Winter Cup." Tadahiro stated. "Goodnight, little tiger."

Taiga rolled his eyes at his childhood nickname but then smiled. "Goodnight, Hiro-nii." He replied as he exited the video call.

Tadahiro shut off his laptop, placing it on the charging cable and on his desk. He got into bed as he stared at the ceiling.

He closed his eyes, praying to whatever God there was out there let Karasuno have a victory tomorrow.

════ ∘◦ᵒ 𓅓 ᵒ◦∘ ════

In the morning, Tadahiro headed to school. He eventually arrived with the rest of his teammates, thankful that he wasn't late. Soon, Takeda drove the team to the Sendai gym.

Tadahiro was ready to play an intense game of volleyball, as he knew that this wasn't gonna be easy like it was with Tokonami and Date Tech. Everyone was in their positions with Tadahiro being wing spiker while Tanaka was gonna be off the court, but will most likely play during the second round.

Tadahiro watched as Daichi and Oikawa walked over to shake each others hands. "Let's play." Tadahiro heard Daichi say.

"Let's play." Oikawa smiled. Tadahiro had his eyes narrowed at Oikawa, as the two captains walked away from each other.

"Oikawa! Do your best!" A group of girls from above exclaimed, making Tadahiro roll his eyes at them.

"Ain't no way I'm gonna lose! Let's go!" Tanaka exclaimed as he, Nishinoya and Hinata looked pumped up.

Tadahiro saw Daichi walk over to Ukai, as he heard him say that Karasuno will be serving first.

TWEEET!

Some of Tadahiro's teammates grabbed some volleyballs to practice before the game officially started. "Oikawa-senpai, do your best—" A duo of girls yelled out.

"Karasuno! Fight!" Daichi exclaimed, cutting them off, which make Tadahiro smirk a little.

"They're almost as irriating as Kise's fangirls from Seirin's practice match with Kaijo." Tadahiro thinks to himself.

"Yeah!" His team shouted.

Everyone started practicing some spiking. "Fight!" Daichi yelled as Tanaka spiked down the ball.

"Fight!" Daichi yelled as Nishinoya practiced his receives.

"Fight!" Daichi exclaimed as Hinata spiked down the ball.

Next was Tadahiro, as he got ready to jump and spike the ball. "Fight!" Daichi called out as Tadahiro jumped up and spiked down the ball powerfully.

"Next, we'll do serves."

"Right!"

Everyone got in line as Yamaguchi was the first to serve. "Here I go!" He exclaimed as he did his serve, next was Kageyama who did a jump serve, after Kageyama it was Tadahiro who threw the ball up as he jumped up and smacked it down. He walked back to the sides to let someone else do their serves, but paused when he heard a commotion going on at Aoba Johsai's side.

"I-Iwaizumi! Calm down! We're right before a match!"

"Let go of me, Kindaichi!"

"Now's not a good time! See? Everyone's staring hard!"

"I don't care. I'm gonna hit him."

"Hey! What are you saying?!"

Tadahiro looked over to see Kindaichi holding back Iwaizumi who looked as though he wanted to strangle Oikawa who just had a charming and playful smile on his face. "Iwaizumi, calm down!" Kindaichi panicked as Iwaizumi struggles to hit Oikawa. Oikawa didn't look phased as he laughs and rolls the trolley of volleyballs.

"It's hard to believe Oikawa is in the same year as me when he acts like a child." Tadahiro thinks to himself.

TWEEEET!

Tadahiro looked over at Daichi who looked at everyone else. "Line up!" He ordered, as everyone got in line to face the opposing team. Tadahiro saw Kageyama glance over at Oikawa who didn't look his way.

TWEEET!

"Let's play!"

Everyone got into position as the match was starting. "Hey, Tobio-chan. I came here excited to take down the genius setter, so do your best and hold on." Tadahiro heard Oikawa say to his junior. Kageyama looked at Oikawa in the eyes.

"We will win—" Kageyama spoke up but got interrupted by Hinata jumping in.

"We won't lose!" Hinata exclaimed.

"Don't butt in when I'm talking, Hinata, you jackass!" Kageyama hissed as Tadahiro saw Oikawa hold a blank look on his face.

Tadahiro sighed as he rolled his eyes at the two, Kageyama then tried to hit Hinata from behind but Hinata sensed him and ducked just in time.

"Oi, you two. Stop fighting." Tadahiro announced as they listened to him. Oikawa looked at Tadahiro then looked at Kageyama.

"We won't..." Kageyama informed as he and Hinata stood side by side.

"...lose this, either!" They both announced.

Tadahiro widened his eyes at them, tapping them on the shoulders. "Come on, Takeda-sensei is going to say some poetry stuff to us." Tadahiro stated as they nod and headed off.

"If it isn't the great Kagami Tadahiro." Tadahiro heard Oikawa say, making him look at him with a curious look.

"People say you're that bastard Ushiwaka's equal. I wanna see what you're made of. So you better not hold back." Oikawa grins smugly at him before Tadahiro chuckled.

"The only thing you and I have in common is that we both want to beat Ushiwaka, and I'll get there. But first, I have to deal with you, pretty boy." Tadahiro said. "Don't worry. I don't intend to lose or hold back."

Tadahiro noticed Oikawa tense up as he walked away.

They surrounded Takeda who looked at them. "All of you have already defeated Aoba Johsai once. Even if our opponents were not the best at the time, I believe the fact that we won is enough reason to have confidence. Not conceit, but confidence." Takeda announced as everyone nodded.

"Right!"

Karasuno huddled, as Tadahiro was between Sugawara and Asahi. "Karasuno... fight!" Daichi yelled.

"Yeah!" They all shouted back, determined to win this game.

Tadahiro felt a shiver go up his spine as he looked at Aoba Johsai, it was as if the atmosphere around the team had suddenly changed. It made him feel a bit intimidated for a split second, before he shook it off.

They soon got onto the court and in positions, Tadahiro being a wing spiker, he was in the front, in the middle alongside Kageyama and Hinata. Tsukishima, Asahi, and Daichi were at the back with Nishinoya at the side.

TWEEET!

It was Tsukishima that was serving first. "Tsukishima, nice serve!" Daichi encouraged as Tsukishima throws the ball high and it spikes down. Kunimi ended up receiving it.

"Kunimi!" Someone from Aoba Johsai shouted out.

"Nice receive!"

The two guys in the front line jump out, making Tadahiro eye them down, wondering who Oikawa will toss too. "All right." Oikawa spoke up. Tadahiro gets ready to block him, but was surprised to see that Oikawa didn't toss to any of them, but dumped the ball himself.

He gets the first point as Tadahiro widened his eyes as to what happened. The rest of Karasuno were shocked as well. "It was a setter dump! Just like Ken-chan tried to do during the practice match with Nekoma." Tadahiro thought as he blinked. The stadium cheered for Oikawa.

"Come on. I'll be doing the same thing again." Oikawa told them. "Don't stand there so out of it. Pay attention." Oikawa teased.

"Why, you!" Tadahiro growled as he walked over to give him a piece of his mind. However, Tsukishima held him back.

Tsukishima soon lets him go once he was calm enough as he headed back into his position. Tadahiro did the same thing. "H-He said he'd do that again, but is he telling the truth?" Hinata whispered to him. Tadahiro glanced over at his orange haired teammate.

"I guess someone wouldn't usually do that again..." Hinata added, looking away.

"Then again, this is Oikawa we're talking about. He's unpredictable. You never know what he could do next. He could realize that left us in shock and do it again." Tadahiro stated.

"I see! Kagami-senpai, you're amazing!" Hinata beamed at him.

"S-Shut up, I'm not." Tadahiro said with an embarrassed look, not wanting his junior to think so highly of him, because what if he was wrong.

"Hey, now. There's no point in dwelling on that. It's the same as trying to figure out what your opponent will throw out in rock-paper-scissors." Daichi spoke up. Tadahiro nodded in agreement.

"You have a point. Though, I can't believe your comparing this to rock-paper-scissors, Dai-chan." Tadahiro snickered as Daichi glared at him.

"Don't overthink it." Daichi assured them.

"Right!" Tadahiro and Hinata replied to their captain.

The whistle blew as it was Aoba Johsai's turn to serve. "Nice serve, Matsukawa!" Tadahiro heard a player announce, as the ball got to their side. Daichi saves it.

"All right!" Daichi announced.

"Daichi, nice receive!" Tadahiro heard Tanaka announce from the sidelines as Tadahiro kept his eye on the ball. Tadahiro and Hinata raced forward.

"Come to me!" Hinata exclaimed.

"B!" Tadahiro yelled out as Hinata and Tadahiro jumped up. Kageyama uses the quick attack as Hinata spiked it down. However, someone from Aoba Johsai saves it, making Tadahiro growl a little.

He sees Oikawa run forward, making Tadahiro think he was gonna do a setter dump like he said he was. He then saw him jump up, in a spiking position.

"Not this time!" Tadahiro called out, as him and Hinata jump up to block him. However, Tadahiro widened his eyes to see him change his position mid-air as he tossed to Iwaizumi, making Tadahiro gasp and land on the ground.

The second Tadahiro's feet landed on the ground he raced over to Kageyama to help him block, but it was too late as Iwaizumi spiked it down and got his team a point.

"Damn it!" Tadahiro said, feeling a bit irritated.

"Hey, hey, hey..." Daichi spoke, getting their attention as Tadahiro and Hinata looked over at their captain. "You knew Oikawa was amazing to begin with. Our setter is just as skilled, and his attacks are just as flashy."

Tadahiro looked over at Kageyama. "He's right..." He thought.

Soon Aoba Johsai serves once more, as the same guy, Matsukawa, his name was, was going to serve again. Matsukawa serves the volleyball. "Nishinoya!" Daichi called out as Nishinoya received the ball, Hinata runs forward.

"Bring it!" Hinata announced.

As Kageyama gets ready to toss, Tadahiro ran to the side, jumping also to spike the ball. Tadahiro noticed that Iwaizumi and Oikawa stared at him, as they thought he was going to spike.

Tadahiro smirked at them as Asahi came from behind instead, Asahi runs forward and jumps.

However, to everyone's shock, Kageyama didn't toss to anyone as he instead did a setter dump. The ball bounces onto the court, getting Karasuno a point but they were confused as to why he did it without telling them first.

Soon the stadium erupted around them. Tadahiro heard clapping from Sugawara. "Do it again!" Sugawara encouraged, making Tadahiro sweat drop at the mother figure of their team.

Tadahiro then looked back at Kageyama who walked close to the net. "I'll..." He starts off, catching Oikawa's attention.

"...be doing the same thing again. Pay attention!"

Tadahiro was a bit taken aback by Kageyama's bold statement but smirked proudly. Oikawa, however, didn't seem pleased by his underclassman as he glared at Kageyama.

"You... stupid little brat." He hissed lowly.

Tadahiro chuckled. "Sure, Oikawa may be an amazing setter. But Kage-chan is just as skilled. So bring it on, Aoba Johsai!" He thinks to himself.
