Kitagawa Daichi's team faces the formidable spike of Akira from Yugama Middle School. When Akira rotates to the back row, Kitagawa Daichi sees an opportunity to catch up. However, Akira subtly throws a serve out of bounds, and then Yugama Middle School executes a flawless synchronous attack, orchestrated by Akira, who manipulates his teammates like puppets. Kitagawa Daichi's coach, Sumire, is shocked by this level of control, noting how Yugama's players move in unison, directed by Akira's subtle cues.

"Alas, here's why Kageyama is called a talented player rather than a powerful player!"

"Not all geniuses can grow up!" Coach Sumire shook his head and said regretfully. "If Kageyama still doesn't realize that volleyball is a team sport, he will never grow up!"

"In team sports, it's dangerous to just think about your teammates and ignore the thoughts and emotions of your teammates!"

"At this point, the main Spiker from Yugama Middle School is much stronger than him!"

He pointed to several players from Yugama Middle School on the field and continued to say to Nagawa Shin on the side, "You see, it is obviously a middle blocker with very mediocre talents."

"This opposite hitter can't even catch the ball!"

"However, this outside hitter is familiar with the psychology of each of them!"

"Use encouragement and tolerance, and use the guilt after their mistakes to motivate them!"

"And, most importantly!" Coach Sumire breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Nagawa Shin, who was in a sluggish state, and continued: "This Akira guy from Yugama Middle School, he knows the strength of his teammates very well!"

"You see, he never asked for anything beyond the capabilities of his teammates from beginning to end!"

"Even, the movements he directs are very easy for these players from Yugama Middle School to do!"

"So, they enjoy this command very much!"

Looking at Yugama Middle School that was constantly organizing attacks on the field, they didn't seem to feel the shackles of the invisible silk thread emanating from the Akira.

Instead, they were playing with a smile on their faces. Coach Sumire suddenly shivered. "Even if you don't play volleyball in the future, you can shine in any field!"

Smack!

The ball that was originally inevitable was reluctantly picked up by Kitagawa Daichi's libero.

Akira was not discouraged, but continued to direct the deployment of the players in the back row.

"Quick attack! Quick attack!" Kageyama's heart shouted. Only a quick attack can avoid the blocking of this terrifying main attack!

Yikes!

However, he used all his strength to pass the quick attack, but kindaichi didn't even touch it! Caused this ball to go straight out of bounds and lose another point!

This is not the first time they have made a mistake in cooperation!

"Bastards!!!"

"Don't you know that for this quick attack you have to jump faster!!"

"Did I tell you!?" Like an angry lion, the constant mistakes have plunged Kageyama into hysteria.

Akira on the opposite side of the net is like a big mountain! Pressed on Kageyama's heart!

Let him not breathe! Now he only wants to break through the enemy's block!

This time, kindaichi didn't say anything, just lowered his head and walked away without saying a word! Seeing this scene, Akira shook his head slightly.

Was it beaten by me to the point of mentality collapse? Kageyama? Maybe he can become a qualified and powerful setter in the future. But now Kageyama is really disappointing!

Continue to take the turn of Yugama Middle School to continue serving!

Smack!

The libero received the ball and passed it to Kageyama in front of the net. But this time, there was a different situation in the team of Kitagawa Daichi!

"For ... Why?" Kageyama knew very well that the ball he had just passed was not a quick attack.

There were no mistakes! According to kindaichi strength, he can definitely spike this ball!! But, why? Why is there no one where the ball should be spiked??

"We, will not follow you anymore!" Kageyama's question was answered unanimously by all the troops.

We won't hit your quick attacks anymore! They have long had enough of this dictatorial king!!

Squeak!

A whistle sounded, bringing back Kageyama's thoughts.

"Kageyama, you go first!" Turning his head, he saw the disappointed face of the coach. The soulless Kageyama can only walk down slowly. ...

The result of the game speaks for itself. The coming on the bench setter did not cause Akira and them any trouble at all.

Yugama Middle School easily won the traditional strong school in Miyagi Prefecture with a score of 2:0, and Kitagawa Daichi was defeated!

"Long live Akira!!"

"Akira-kun, we can have this victory, it really depends on you!"

... Thrown into the air by the cheering teammates and then falling, Akira said with a smile: "Everyone did a great job!"

"We have to continue to work hard in the next games to win the championship!"

"Yes!!"

Looking at the people of Yugama Middle School who were cheering not far away, especially the incomparably dazzling person in the center of the crowd. Coach Sumire couldn't help but sigh.

"When did such a powerful Spiker appear in Miyagi Prefecture!"

"I don't know, which high school will he choose to continue playing?"

๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

A gentle breeze stirred the leaves, its soft rustling mingling with the unending chirping of cicadas. Akira relaxed in the shade, savoring a large wedge of watermelon. He had just concluded a demanding workout and was reveling in the cool aftermath. "Life is truly good," he stated with deep satisfaction.

Suddenly, a knock resonated through the house. "Akira, are you home?" a familiar voice called out.

"Hmm? Could that be Kiyoko? Please, come in!" he responded.

The old wooden door groaned open, revealing Kiyoko Shimizu, her demeanor as tranquil as ever.

Ever since his arrival in this new world, Akira had begun to notice the striking resemblances between the people he encountered and the characters from the beloved volleyball anime he used to watch.

His immediate neighbor, for instance, bore an undeniable resemblance to Kiyoko Shimizu, the well-known manager of the Karasuno High volleyball team.

However, on this particular day, Kiyoko wasn't clad in her typical athletic wear. Instead, she sported a casual ensemble of hot pants and a tank top, offering a subtle display of her toned physique. Akira couldn't help but appreciate the view.

"Kiyoko, would you care for some melon? I just retrieved it from the refrigerator," he offered, indicating the fruit with a nod.

The Shimizu family had shown him immense kindness upon his arrival, providing assistance to him as he settled in.

"No thank you," she politely declined, a soft smile gracing her features.

She approached a small table and took a seat. "My grandmother prepared these pastries," she mentioned, extending a plate towards him. "I found myself craving them this morning."

"I wasn't expecting you to bring them over," Akira expressed, a touch of surprise in his voice.

Kiyoko let out a soft chuckle. "So, Akira, which high school are you planning to enroll in?" she inquired, resting her chin on her hand as she gazed at him.

"I haven't decided yet," Akira admitted, running a hand through his hair. "Perhaps we could attend the same school, Kiyoko!" he suggested playfully. "Karasuno High!"

A look of curiosity crossed Kiyoko's face. "Why Karasuno?" she questioned. "With your academic standing, you could easily gain admission to a prestigious institution like Shiratorizawa. You're an exceptionally talented player, after all, the MVP of the Miyagi Prefecture Junior High School Volleyball Tournament. You have numerous choices."

In reality, Akira had already settled on his decision. He intended to enroll at Karasuno High.

He felt that attending the very school featured in the anime would be an extraordinary experience.

Nevertheless, he opted to playfully tease Kiyoko with his suggestion.

"Naturally, I wish to attend school with you in the future!" he declared. "Besides, didn't you mention you serve as the manager for the Karasuno volleyball club? If I join Karasuno, I'll get to see you every single day!"

"You always tease me," Kiyoko playfully chided, gently ruffling his hair. "I must be going now."

Though she departed, Akira could still sense the vibrant, cheerful energy emanating from her retreating footsteps. "Don't forget to come over later to play video games!" he called out as she left.

"Understood, I'll be there!" Kiyoko's voice floated back from outside the door.

The first day of high school arrived.

Akira stood before the imposing gates of Karasuno High School, a smile gracing his lips. "This is a place where one can achieve great things," he murmured to himself.

He observed a group of girls conversing in hushed tones. "Wow, look at that student by the entrance! Is that a freshman?" one of them exclaimed. "He's so tall!"

"Most importantly, he's incredibly handsome!" another girl added enthusiastically.

"His presence is simply captivating!"

Akira offered a nonchalant smile. He then entered the school grounds, eager to discover what awaited him.

Meanwhile, within the gymnasium of Karasuno High School, a noteworthy scene was unfolding. Kageyama and Hinata, once formidable rivals, now found themselves as freshmen on the same team.

"Are these two actually first-year students?" the strict vice principal, a man distinguished by a black mole on his cheek, reprimanded. "Failing to heed the captain's instructions is quite problematic!"

Hinata, driven by a desire to prove his worth, was already eager to challenge Kageyama's formidable jump serve.

Kageyama, for his part, was equally keen to assert his dominance.

He unleashed a powerful serve, its trajectory aimed directly at Hinata.

Hinata, reacting with impressive speed, prepared to receive the ball.

However, the ball deviated from its intended path, sailing wide and missing its mark.

"If this continues..." The vice principal, mid-declaration, was struck squarely in the face by the rogue volleyball!

His wig was dislodged, tumbling from his head and landing on the floor with a dull thud.

A hush of stunned silence descended upon the gymnasium.
