The first thing that Semi was greeted with when he entered back into the Shiratorizawa gym was the sight of 2 insane people running around the gym like a cat and mouse. He had initially given zero care to whoever wanted to act like five year old children. However, as Semi concentrated a little harder at the zooming figure he was taken aback.

M/N? What the heck is he doing here in Shiratorizawa?

"Okay, what the heck is going on around here?" Semi questioned as he stepped foot back into the gym.

M/N even had the audacity to look so damn innocent after doing whatever shenanigans he has cooked up with Shirabu.

Wait a minute... With Shirabu?!
What the heck?!
How does Shirabu know M/N? Do they even know each other? What?

"Uhoh, Semisemi the mother hen is back!" Tendou chirped out, watching as Semi had very easily stopped the two.

Ignoring Tendou's unnecessary comment, Semi brought his main focus to M/N, "Why are you here M/N?"

M/N shrugged nonchalantly speaking, "You have to ask old man that question. I'd have you know I didn't voluntarily come here."

Semi's face turned into one of confusion, "Then?"

"I was kidnapped!" M/N pouted as he swiftly moved to the corner of the gym, sulking.

"Uh-huh, likely story. You're telling me that you were carried into this very gym against your own will? Nope, definitely not." Semi shook his head in disbelief as he headed to the corner where M/N rested.

M/N protested, "It's true! Ushijima-san dragged me over here." 

"Now you're telling me that Ushijima-kun was the one who brought you here? Likely story M/N." Semi crossed his arms in pure dubiety. To ever think that Ushijima would do such a thing? Impossibly unimaginable.

"It's true!" M/N demurred.

"Right... Now tell me the real reason that you're here. Don't worry, I'm not upset that you're here, quite the opposite actually. But I'd just like to know." Semi patted M/N's head like he'd do to a child.

M/N pouted. Keeping silent and continuing to sulk.

"Actually, I did bring Akiri-san here." Ushijima spoke up after gazing at the moping M/N.

"Hah?!" Semi was shocked.

"Yeah Semi senpai, we all saw Ushijima senpai carry him in." Goshiki spoke, supporting Ushijima and M/N's statement.

Semi blinked blankly, frozen.
Huh? Ushijima kidnapped his precious M/N? What the heck?

I'M GOING TO RIP USHIJIMA APART! FORMALITIES BE DAMNED! HOW DARE HE FORCE M/N?!

Semi's mother mode on.
"What the heck?!"

Well, earlier Semi had just gone full-on batshit crazy. The old man had to actually step in to stop Semi and the whole chaos in the gym. Which was really surprising since he seemed to be very adamant about not bothering me since I can tell from his face that he wants me to work out more to re-sharpen my instincts. Oh well...

"Brat, introduce yourself." Washijo poked me in the arm.

I shuffled away from Washijo, doing a little forty five degree bow, "Hello everyone, I'm Akiri M/N. But you can call me anytime." I made sure to top it off with a flirty wink, while specifically making eye contact with Semi.

And oh boy did Semi flush. So did some other people, but that doesn't matter right now especially since the old man literally knocked me in the stomach for my introduction.

Ow. That really hurts ;-;.
This is abuse I swear.

"Oohh we've got an interesting one." Tendou smiles as he looks me in the eye.

"Tendou Satori. It's a pleasure to finally meet you awake in person Akiri-san."

OH MY GOD. MY BABY TENDOU SATORI AH! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SEEING HIM IN REAL LIFE.
I'M ABOUT TO DIE AH! MY HEART.

Despite my inner fan panic, I simply answered Tendou politely, managing not to stutter or suddenly ask him to marry me(because no normal human being would do that), "The pleasure's all mine Tendou-san."

"Interesting..." I seem to hear Tendou utter out rather softly.

"Pardon?" I looked at Tendou in confusion, wondering what he had said.

"Oh, nothing." Tendou gave me a grin that looked very much unassuring.

Next up was Ushijima, who gave a modest nod in acknowledgement, "Hello Akiri-san. It's been a long time. I'm Ushijima Wakatoshi, in case you forgot. It's great to see you since I've been waiting to see your skills."

"Yeah, it has been a long time... Though I can't say that it's great to see you though." I muttered the last part under my breath.

Seriously, the first thing he does is kidnap me in here. Albeit it was under the old man's instructions but he still ultimately had a choice so, I'm still annoyed. 😤

Next, the rest of the Shiratorizawa team introduced themselves to me with a certain bowl-cut boy being the most memorable. Like it wasn't every day that you see someone with worse social skills than Kageyama when nervous. Though I bet that it had something to do with Ushijima and him thinking I was his senior. Cause after I officially introduced myself as a first-year too, he significantly calmed down.

Shirabu had been constantly glaring at me. Talk about rude. He seems to be very set on strangling me.
I'm sorry okay?? I just didn't like your setting, don't blame me! 😭

-

Okay, so I now realize the reason why Coach Washijo brought me here. Which was obviously to practice with his team.
I'm tired, and I want to sleep on my soft bed... Why?

It was a simple 3 on 3. I was grouped with Semi and Goshiki. While the other team consists of Ushijima, Shirabu, and Tendou.

Also why the heck does the old man look so satisfied with himself?

"So I'll handle most of the defense?" I questioned looking at both Semi and Goshiki.

Semi and Goshiki both gave me a thumbs up. Indicating their approval. I don't recall the both of them specializing in defence so I volunteered. See? I'm so kind.😇

Tweet! The whistle blew indicating the start of the match.

Ushijima served first. Aimed sadly at me, of course. Ushijima... I know you wanted to test my skills but do you not know that I just woke up from a coma? Can't you be gentler with me?

Readying my body and stance, I outstretched my arms bracing for impact. And I swear to God that when the ball hit my skin, my soul instantly flew away. However, I managed to receive it despite it being a little bit short.

-

You suck, M/N.

Oh, shush! It's my first time, give me a break!

:p
-

"I'm sorry it's short!" I yelled out.

Goshiki looked amazed for a second and to be honest I am too. That ball hurt like a bitch! Ten out of ten not doing it ever again.

Even Tendou, Shirabu, and Ushijima looked shocked(Semi you're the only loyal one) but honestly, I really don't care at the moment. I'm in too much pain. Whoever who receives Ushijima's serve is a legend. Like the power plus the weird other direction spin, it's insane. I salute to you future Noya.😭

"Okay! Goshiki!" Semi called out to Goshiki which snapped him out of his stupor, forcing him to prepare for take off(yes I'm calling it that).

-

"OH FUCK ALL OF YOU!" I screamed out as I smashed the ball across.

-

"Old man you suck!" I screeched out.

Washijo blinked scrunching his face up in distaste.

-

"I COULD BE ASLEEP IN MY FLUFFY AND SOFT BED, BUT I'M HERE. WHY?!" I yelled out as I once again spiked the ball sent to me by Semi.

Let's just say after that everyone made it a point to voluntarily avoid my spikes in particular until the old man screeched for them to not be chicken. They still flinch at my hits though ☺️.

Also, how did I end up from being mainly defense to both defense and offense? 😃
