*BAM!*

"Oh! Nice serve, Riku!"

"Do you think it becomes more powerful?"

"You think so too? I thought it was my illusion!"

"It seems Riku is in a good condition today!"

It was a few days after the social meeting in Riku's house, and the training for the volleyball club had gone back to normal already. However, currently, everyone stopped their doing as they all watched Riku practicing his serve. Somehow, the blonde boy was on fire in the last couple of days, as everyone could see from his service that became sharper and more powerful.

No one knew why, but everyone was happy with the development.

The only one who had a guess of what happened was Yuki, as he stared at his fellow freshman in wonder.

'Does he feel excited after meeting Sawada and knowing that he is the setter of Konan?' He mused. However, when he remembered his friend well, he shook his head. 'What am I thinking about? Of course, this would be the case. There is no way he could hide his excitement after meeting a future strong opponent like him.'

The training lasted for another half an hour before Akira and Megumi suddenly appeared in the gymnasium.

"Okay, everyone! Gather in our room! We have something important to discuss here!"

All of them were taken aback by the sudden announcement, yet when they saw the serious gaze in the coach's eyes, they knew this must be about the tournament. They wondered if the coach just gained the intelligence about their next opponent and worried about some of them or something like that. However, they still moved immediately from the gymnasium to their 'new' room.

"Oi, Koji! Have you done your training?"

"Don't slack off, Kaede!"

One by one, all the players started to come, filling the empty space in the room. Akira had already arranged everything so that everyone could sit like they were in a normal class, while at the front, he set up his laptop and a projector so that everyone could see the record clearly from behind.

"Okay, everyone! Be quiet and listen!" Everyone went silent the moment Akira raised his voice. "This is the video of Teiryo's warming-up game before the tournament began. I know that this is not an official game and they might play differently in this tournament, but I want to show you this game."

All the players straightened their backs immediately, knowing that the coach would show them an unimportant game. They waited for a while until everything was ready, and when the projector showed the record of the game, they couldn't help but feel surprised at Teiryo's opponent.

Black stripe white jerseys.

Walking with the air full of confidence.

Yuki and Riku also saw someone familiar there.

And most importantly, the name of the school is written on the front.

Konan High.

"Oi, oi, is this serious?" Kaede asked, still dumbfounded.

"As you can see here, this is the game between Teiryo and Konan High." Akira started to explain, ignoring the shock his players had right now. "The final score is 25 – 3 and 25 – 5 for Konan High."

'Damn...' All the players cursed inwardly at the ridiculous score Akira said. 'They didn't even allow Teiryo to get more than ten points in two sets? Is the difference between the top 8 team in Tokyo and the best team in the country really that big?'

"Not to say that we should follow Konan's example here, but there are some points that we could use as a reference for the next game, so listen carefully here."

Everyone nodded, trying to regain their composure. Although Akira said this was the intelligence gathering for the next game against Teiryo, all of them were focusing more on Konan rather than their next opponent. They knew that Konan was the last wall they needed to climb, the final boss they needed to beat if they wanted to keep the team alive.

However, the more they watched the record, the more terrible they felt, as all the people inside the room saw Konan's utter dominance against the opponent, while Yuki and Riku kept staring at the setter that they just got to know a few days ago.

'Sawada and that number 22... What a scary combination. Who the hell is that?'
