"What!!"

"You are MVP of the Miyagi Prefecture Junior High School Volleyball League ??"

Hearing this, the volleyball team members present there couldn't help but be stunned.

Kageyama and Tsukishima had paid attention to Akira's match, and naturally, they had known about it for a long time.

But Daichi, Sugawara, and Tanaka only watched Kageyama and Hinata's matches and did not pay attention to the subsequent matches. Therefore, they naturally did not know Akira.

At this time, hearing Takeda-sensei's words, they were all shocked.

Especially Daichi and Sugawara—after they glanced at each other, they could both see the shame in each other's eyes.

They had originally thought Akira was just a junior who came to the volleyball club to play casually.

But they didn't expect him to have such a big reputation! Miyagi Prefecture Junior High School Volleyball League champion and MVP!!

In previous years, this kind of player was snatched away by strong schools such as Shiratorizawa and Aoba Johsai early on.

They never expected someone like that to come to Karasuno this year!!

And as the captain of the Karasuno volleyball club, Daichi didn't even know. What a huge mistake!

Moreover, seeing Kageyama and Tsukishima's rightful expressions, it was clear that these first-year freshmen all knew about it!

Daichi and Sugawara looked at each other again. Could it be... Only they didn't know?? Were they the only ones kept in the dark??

How did this feel like being betrayed by the world?

"Damn it, these smug first-years, do they want me to look bad?" Daichi silently gritted his teeth. "Sooner or later, I'll show them what I'm capable of!"

"I'll just say, how can someone as strong as you, Akira, be unknown?"

Tanaka, however, had such an expression. "It's a pity last year I only watched one match with Daichi and left. Otherwise, we would've known you a long time ago!"

Seeing the reactions from Daichi and Tanaka, Takeda-sensei said with some curiosity, "Eh, Daichi, don't you know about Akira's achievements?"

Hearing this, Daichi and Sugawara's bodies froze at the same time. Kageyama and Tsukishima also looked at each other, clearly surprised.

"Well, this... Actually..."

Seeing this situation, Akira smiled to himself. This was quite awkward for these two honest seniors.

He opened his mouth to ease the tension and said, "Haha, I'm not a big star, so it's normal for the two senpai not to know."

"Besides, the junior high school competition? That's all in the past."

He walked over and patted Kageyama's shoulder.

"Now we're all teammates on the same side of the court. We should work together!"

Akira's words suddenly woke everyone in the volleyball club.

Yes! Regardless of the past, they were now teammates on the same side of the court!!

Teammates who could trust each other and rely on one another!!

Takeda-sensei, standing to the side, saw this scene and said happily, "Great! Everyone's attitude has improved. I feel like our practice match with Aoba Johsai will be more certain now!!"

"But," he continued, looking at the briefing in his hand, "when I made an appointment for the practice match, Aoba Johsai also mentioned a small request."

"Oh? What request?"

Once again, everyone focused on this training match.

After all, this was a practice match with one of the four strongest teams in the prefecture: Aoba Johsai!

In the past, this was an opponent that Karasuno never even dreamed of competing with!!

"Their condition is... Let Kageyama play the whole game as a setter!!"

"What?!"

The grinning Tanaka was the first to react. "Are they looking down on us?"

"Or do they think Kageyama is the only one worth paying attention to??"

The team was equally confused. To demand a certain player remain on the court for an entire match... This kind of request was very unusual in practice games.

"Isn't that great?" Sugawara said.

As the main setter in the original team, after hearing this strange request, all eyes turned to him.

After all, being sidelined by a first-year setter would be hard for anyone.

But Sugawara surprised them all.

"I want to see… Hinata and Kageyama's coordinated attack. What role can it play against the Top Four teams of prefecture?"

"Plus, with players like Akira and Tsukishima on the team…"

"Everyone will also get to see Akira's strength!"

"However, in order to turn individual skills into the strength of the entire Karasuno team, we need constant coordination and practice!"

"Isn't this match the perfect opportunity for these first-years to build their synergy?"

Hearing Sugawara's words, everyone was stunned.

Unexpectedly, he could sacrifice his chance to play for the team to grow stronger as a whole!

Takeda-sensei nodded approvingly. "Exactly. This match isn't about individuals; it's about how well we can work as a team."

"The match is scheduled for next Tuesday after school. Time is tight, so make sure not to be late!"

"Yes!" the team responded in unison, their determination renewed.

With today's training over, everyone gradually left the volleyball hall.

"Shimizu-senpai, some special products from home were sent to me by my family today. I'll bring them to you and Grandma when I get home this evening!"

Looking at Kiyoko Shimizu, who had just come out of the changing room, Akira said with a smile.

"Really?"

"I'm looking forward to tasting food from your hometown! It must be something amazing if you're making such a big deal about it."

Kiyoko looked at Akira playfully.

As they gradually walked down the mountain, Akira also spotted the volleyball team ahead of them.

"Hey, Akira! Shimizu-senpai! Daichi-senpai is treating us to meat buns!"

"Hurry up, or you'll miss out!"

"Don't eat them all! Save one for me!" Akira shouted as he ran over.

Kiyoko chuckled watching him

On the way home, Akira and Kiyoko walked together.

"Actually, it's strange hearing you say something like that today," Kiyoko said suddenly, breaking the silence.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"That line earlier… when you said, 'We'll all be teammates in the future.'"

"Oh, that?" Akira chuckled. "Maybe I got caught up in the moment. The team's spirit, their perseverance, and that never-give-up attitude—it moved me!"

"And honestly, training together these past few days has been so enjoyable. It's addicting!"

"Is that so?" Kiyoko nodded thoughtfully.

"It's already getting dark. If I don't hurry, Grandma will worry," she said, looking at the sky.

"Let's go then! But wait, why are you holding my hand?"

"Huh? Don't you like it?"

"I… I didn't say that!"

😏

"Akira, you're here early!"

As soon as Daichi and Sugawara entered the gym, they saw Akira practicing passing alone against the wall.

"Haha, Daichi-senpai, you're here early too!"

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Akira glanced at the system's task panel:

[Pass to the wall (479/500), Ball Control +0.5].

[Note : Should I keep the name as ball control or ball sense]

At first, Akira hadn't understood what the so-called "Ball Control" was.

But as the system added more and more points, he started noticing its benefits. Passing, receiving, spiking—everything became smoother and more natural.

It felt as though he could predict the ball's trajectory instinctively.

Gradually, as he watched others hit the ball, he could roughly judge its next movement.

It wasn't perfect, but it was accurate enough to make a difference.

This ability had helped him immensely during matches.

However, there was one thing that troubled Akira: tasks involving Ball control were much rarer than those for stamina, speed, or endurance.

In the nearly one year since acquiring the system, he had only accumulated 8.1 points in Ball control.

That's why, when today's rare +0.5 task appeared, Akira had rushed to the gym early, determined to complete it before the team arrived.

He had a hunch that once his Ball control reached 10, something extraordinary might happen.

While they were chatting, Kageyama and Tanaka arrived. As they began warming up, Akira completed his task:

[Ball control +0.5].

Now at 8.6 Ball Sense, Akira felt a subtle but significant improvement.

As he watched everyone warming up, he noticed details he'd never seen before.

For instance, when Hinata was about to receive a spike, Akira could predict the ball's trajectory.

Sure enough, after the ball struck Hinata's arm, it flew off diagonally, drawing a frustrated shout from Kageyama.

And as Daichi, Sugawara, Tanaka, and Tsukishima practiced their moves, Akira observed even finer nuances in their techniques—things he hadn't noticed before.

"Akira, come join us! We need to work on team coordination!"

"Got it! Be right there!"

---

Tuesday, afternoon.

Karasuno's team sat on the bus, heading to their practice match with Aoba Johsai.

Akira and Kiyoko were seated together, discussing a math problem.

Suddenly, a loud scream came from the back row.

"AAAAAHHH!"

Curious, Akira and Kiyoko turned to see what was going on.

It turned out Hinata, sitting in the back, had thrown up on Tanaka's pants from nervousness.

"Stop the bus!!" Tanaka yelled.

---

When the team arrived at Aoba Johsai, Hinata was still visibly nervous.

Meanwhile, the gymnasium bustled with activity as Aoba Johsai players warmed up.

Watching their practice, Sugawara commented with a serious expression, "As expected of one of the top four schools in the prefecture."

"Yeah," Daichi agreed. "Their offense and defense are solid. Each of their players could be the ace on a lesser team."

"They're known for their strong blocks," he added.

"It's fine," Tanaka said with a grin. "Isn't Hinata here to smash through their blocks?"

"Plus, we have Akira! No matter how strong Aoba Johsai is, they won't stop his spikes!"

"But speaking of which… where are Hinata and Akira?" Sugawara asked.

"Hinata had a stomachache, and Akira went to keep him company," Daichi replied.

Outside the restroom, Akira stood waiting for Hinata when he ran into Kindaichi.

"Huh? It's you!"

"What are you doing here?"

Recognizing Akira, Kindaichi's eyes widened in shock.
