The Birth of A Volleyball Legend

"YOSSHAAAA!" Kaito roared, punching his chest repeatedly as he saw his attack was successful. "That's how I am doing it! The air is my fucking territory!" He shouted provocatively as if wanting to trigger the reaction from Tsunemori's supporters. Well, if that was his intention, all the people inside the building had to give a hat-off to the boy for his successful attempt.

"Oh, fucking hell! This arrogant gay bastard is striking again?!"

"Fuck it! Yuki, kill him again!"

"Don't let him trample on our dignity so easily like that! Show him our strength!"

Yuki himself could only smile wryly when he heard that. 'They weren't even this enthusiastic when I got my sixth serve in a row earlier. People really would always react stronger to anger and sadness compared to joy and happiness.' He thought.

Meanwhile, Hirano who failed to stop the last attack could be seen clenching his fist tightly, looking at Kaito fiercely. Although he knew he was far from the best middle blocker in the tournament, he was still confident with his one-on-one duel ability, so to get beaten in that department stung like a bitch.

"Don't worry, Rano! That is just one point! You can take revenge later." Riku who was the closest to the boy patted his senpai's shoulder gently.

"Hn." Hirano just grunted a little before nodding his head stiffly. "Don't worry, I will repay this favor tenfold later."

"Attaboy! That is the spirit!" Riku grinned, patting his senpai's back to encourage the middle blocker. "Now, let's go back to the court and get ready for the next play to start!"

Right after that, everyone went back to the court, and Suzuki on the Kikugawa High's side walked calmly to the service line to do his job. In the next second, silence fell on the building as all the supporters of Tsunemori High hissed simultaneously, telling everyone to stay quiet during the serve. Of course, it wasn't done with the good and noble intentions. They all were ready to explode the building right when Kikugawa's captain was about to deliver his serve.

'As expected, they learn fast.' Yuki snorted. 'I just need to ask them if they still remembered how Tsukiji High's supporters treated us, and they immediately caught the hidden meaning behind my question. That is crazy.' Well, he wouldn't complain about it, since this brought advantage to his team.

Although Suzuki knew that Tsunemori's supporters were going to come to his ass, he still tried to pull his usual powerful jump serve. However, right before he could swing his arm and hit the ball, the entire building seemed to shake instantly as the simultaneous chant exploded from the stand.

"SUZUKI, YOU SUCK!"

As a result, this made the ball slip from Suzuki's hand, and although the captain managed to hit it, the final product was terrible, only hitting the referee's platform beside the net in the middle of the court.

BRAK!

"Ouch!" Most of the supporters on the stand winced in unison when they saw the ball hitting the referee comically. However, in the next second, laughter exploded in the building, mocking how terrible Suzuki's serve was. "Damn! Even the referee is dumbfounded like that!"

"Come on! This is our captain!"

"Do it again, Captain! You are our leader!"

Suzuki himself felt the temperature rising on his face, realizing that he just embarrassed himself in front of more than 1000 people in the building. He snapped his head quickly, glaring at Kaito who tried his best to hold back laughter from breaking out. Even though he knew some of his teammates would find it funny and teased the hell out of him for it, this was not the best time to do that.

*Cough!* Tachibana cleared his throat, trying to break the awkward atmosphere around them. "Don't worry, Suzuki. We won't judge you because of this." Even though he said it nicely, Suzuki could see his friend's mouth twitch a little as he was holding back laughter just like Kaito did. For that, the captain just huffed, knowing that he would never get away from this.

"Just wait until you experience it yourself, and you can mock me if you can do it better. Don't forget, Kaito, that you failed too, right?"

That alone was enough to shut them up instantly. While a second ago, they were still full of laughter, after being reminded by Suzuki, they realized that sooner or later, they would also face the same situation where all the people inside the building would shout at them, and they couldn't say that they were ready to face such a pressure head-on.

"What the hell?! Why are the supporters we bring here so timid?! We should have the greater number, right?" Tachibana asked.

"Yeah, Junya-sensei said we should have around 800 seats while Tsunemori High is about 250," Yusuke said. Everyone twitched their mouth unconsciously, not believing for a single second that the number of Tsunemori High's supporters who came here was just 250 people. "They could also order the tickets for the public! You know that those things exist, right?" Yusuke added quickly, knowing what his senpai thought.

Well… That was reasonable. They knew how the official arranged the ticket for the supporters. It would always be 3:4:1 for a game between a famous team and a no-name team, with 3 for the famous one, 4 for the neutral supporters, and 1 for the no-name team. Right now, even though Tsunemori had been performing well in the entire year, they were still considered a no-name team without any rich history, so they got 250 tickets allocated for them. As for Kikugawa High, since they were a pretty successful school in this prefectural tournament, they got about 750 tickets, and the rest – about 1000 – were sold to the public, which all the supporters from both teams who didn't get one from their school could just buy it individually. This should be the case of why their number is so high right now.

"Okay, no need to think too much about it. If you want to scold, just scold our supporters who are so timid today." Kaito said nonchalantly, not caring that the supporters who came here were his friends and the students of the school too. "For now, we have a game to deal with. We are down by seven points now, and if we cannot recover quickly, they will drown us mercilessly. So, we better tighten our seatbelt and get ready for a roller coaster game, okay?"

The other Kikugawa High players just stared at each other before they all nodded their heads simultaneously. "Sure! Let's do this!"
