Part 2: Chapter 12
"Nice receive!"
Your (e/c) eyes followed after the volleyball which was tossed to Tanaka instead of Hinata as the bald second year spike it across the net, scoring a point. You stood next to Kiyoko as you took down notes in your notebook for your own personal use. You glanced up to see Kageyama raised his hands letting out a shaky "whoo" as Tanaka high five the setter with everything he got.
You laughed at the blueberry setter who never fail to amuse you with his awkward social skills. You turned your focus back to the court as the match continued, your eyes following every player's movement closely and taking necessary notes down. The boys' volleyball team is currently having a practice match among one another. As the assistant coach, you were determined to note down every single flaws and perfections of your team.
After what happened the last time round, you were ready to up your game.
'There we go. This should give Hinata more chances in the air.' You thought to yourself with a nod of your head. Suddenly from the corner of your eyes, something caught your attention. You glanced up just in time to see Tsukishima doing a feint, getting pass Hinata's and Kageyama's block. Your (e/c) eyes sparkled with awe, never failing to be impressed by Tsukishima whenever he does something unexpected.
"It's funny how you keep falling for that." Tsukishima smiled smugly at the idiotic duo who were glowering at him. However, Tsukishima's eyes weren't focused on his fellow teammates in front of him. Instead, he was focusing on a certain (h/c)-haired female. For some unknown reasons, Tsukishima had this urge to impress you with his volleyball plays.
Well, he wasn't disappointed by the look on your face. Your (e/c) eyes were glimmering with awe as your face lit up, the sight causing Tsukishima's heart to race slightly faster. The middle blocker looked down to his chest in confusion, a frown on his face. Why was he having such feelings at seeing your face filled with awe? Tsukishima glanced up once more and was surprised when he made eye contact with you.
Awe shifted to confusion as you stared at Tsukishima who was glancing down at his chest, a frown on his face. Is he okay? You thought to yourself as you felt slightly worried for the blond. You're deep in thought that you didn't realized you had been staring at Tsukishima for quite a while until you saw the look of surprise on his face. Surprise filled you as well as the two of you held gazes, not caring what was going in the background.
However the whistle blew, its piercing sound breaking the bubble that you and Tsukishima were in. Both your eyes widen before a blush settled on Tsukishima's face as his brows furrowed in annoyance, turning his attention back to the game that was happening. Now was not the time for this. After all, Tsukishima is in the middle of a match. He can deal with this later.
You let out a disappointed sigh unknowingly before facing Kiyoko, about to discuss with her about something when the third year gives you a look that you can't decipher. You tilted your head to the side, a confused look on your face as you asked. "Kiyoko-senpai, are you alright? You have a weird look on your face."
Kiyoko shook her head with a smile as she replied. "I'm fine. I was just observing the way how you looked at Tsukishima-san with awe in your eyes when he did a feint."
At the mention of the beanpole, you began to ramble in excitement. "I just can't help it but be impressed whenever that string bean does something unexpected. I mean he is usually not putting in effort when it comes to volleyball, so he takes me by surprise whenever he does things unexpectedly..."
You went on and on, not realizing that everyone had stopped to stare at you. Kiyoko gently tapped you on the shoulder as she quietly said. "(name)-chan, you're being too loud. Everyone is staring at you."
You stopped babbling when you heard what Kiyoko said. Your eyes widen as you glanced at everyone who was giving you either a smirk or curious looks. When your eyes landed on Tsukishima who was staring at his feet with a light blush on his face, you began to feel your face turning hotter. Feeling mortified, you grabbed your notebook and began scribbling furiously, hiding your face.
Both you and Tsukishima's face burned hotter as your friends laughed at you two. You couldn't believe that everyone has heard what you said, especially that string bean! You let out a groan at your stupidity as your brother shouted at everyone to get back to practice. You glanced up Kiyoko in embarrassment who simply smiled gently at you before focusing back on the match, you doing the same.
As the match continued, you caught yourself staring at Tsukishima many times. Every time you do that, you could feel your heart pumping faster as a light blush settled on your face. You weren't the only one feeling the same way as Tsukishima also caught himself constantly looking at you after he did something, be it blocking or spiking. He can't but help wanting to know if you are impressed by his moves.
The two of you weren't sure what was happening so you and Tsukishima brushed it off as having a day off, believing that everything will return back to normal after having some rest.
Little did these two teenagers know, this was simply just the beginning of something that neither both of them expect to happen.

"Daichi-san, you need to go down more if you want to be fully stretched. Come on, you can do it!"
"(name)-CHAN! MY BODY IS GOING TO BREAK IF YOU KEEP BENDING ME!!"
Daichi's screams of pain could be heard throughout the gym as you kept pushing him on the back, trying to make him go down further. Training has ended and the boys were doing cool down exercise. You being the kind soul that you were had kindly volunteered to help Daichi with his cool down. His teammates sweat dropped at the sight of their captain struggling as you kept pushing him down, probably think that he was flexible.
Thankfully for Daichi, Keishin came to his rescue as he needed to discuss something with you. You left Daichi who looked like he was on the verge of death to Suga help him and approached your brother. You turned to Keishin and said. "What's up, nii-chan?"
Keishin gave a sigh before asking you. "(nickname)-chan, how do you think the team is doing so far?"
"Hmmm", you gave a thoughtful sound, thinking back to practice match earlier on before continuing, "I think the boys are starting to discover their potential. However, they lack in experience. Why?"
Your brother gave you a serious look before explaining. "What you said is true. It's good that the boys are realizing their potential and working on it, however they lack experience. This is my main concern. It will good for them to be expose to different opponents, but that will be difficult and I can't always ask the neighborhood association to turn up. So, I'm at a lost."
You opened your mouth to gave a suggestion, only to realize you don't have one. So, you simply gave your brother a lost look, feeling a bit guilty that you couldn't help him. Keishin gave a sigh as he racked through to his brain for ideas when suddenly, the gym door opened and Takeda fell through, his face kissing the floor.
"Ah! Takeda-sensei? Are you okay?"
You worriedly asked, stepping forward with an outstretched hand to help the black-haired male when suddenly he lifted his head, exclaiming. "We're going, right?"
"Where?" Hinata asked curiously.
"Your nose is bleeding!" Kageyama commented.
Ignoring Kageyama's comment, Takeda straightened his glasses as he lifted his hand holding a paper with words written on it, simply saying, "Tokyo."
Everyone's eyes widen as you tilted your to one side, asking in a confused voice. "Tokyo?"
Takeda simply gave a nod as your mouth widen into a grin as excitement filled your voice. "You mean Nekoma?!"
Meanwhile in Tokyo...
"Achoo!" Kenma sneezed as his handphone flew out of his hands, landing in Kuroo's hands. Yaku being the mother of the team, took out a piece of tissue for Kenma to clean the giant snot dangling from his nose. (ew!)
Back to Karasuno...
"A practice match?" Kageyama questioned.
"Yeah! But it wouldn't just be Nekoma this time." As Takeda explained more the practice match with not just only with Nekoma but with other schools from Tokyo, excitement began to fill you at the thought of seeing your friends again. The last time you saw Nekoma was during the golden week when Karasuno had a practice match with the cat school.
Despite you keeping contact with your friends from Tokyo, you really missed them. However, now that Takeda had managed to arrange a training camp in Tokyo, you can finally see your friends once more.
You weren't the only one who was excited to see Nekoma again. After the practice match against Nekoma, the volleyball players of Karasuno had formed friendship with the team and were excited to not only meet them, but to go against them once more.
You grinned at your friends' reaction to the news, each of them can't wait to go up against their rivals/friends again. Your face was almost splitting at the thought of seeing Kuroo, your cat brother that you haven't seen in months.
"Why are you grinning like an idiot?" Tsukishima asked as he glanced at the huge grin on your face.
You turned to Tsukishima with stars in your eyes, your hands clenched in excitement as you replied him. "I can't believe that I can see Kuroo-nii again! I miss him so much!"
Tsukishima could feel some unknown feelings rising within him at the sight of your glowing face when you learned that you would be seeing the cat captain again. He ignored those feelings as he gave you a small smile and patted you on the head, saying. "I'm sure he'll be happy to see you."
You beamed up at the magane, completely oblivious to what the megane was feeling. You turned to your attention back to Takeda as he gave more details to the upcoming training camp in Tokyo.
"The training camp wouldn't be so soon as Tokyo's prelims for Inter-high start this weekend and there are still some details that need to be work out. But it seems that all of you are..."
"Of course we'll go!" Everyone cheered, their voices reaching the roof of the gym.
You can't wait to go to Tokyo!
***
"Tsukishima! You looked so lonely sitting there all by yourself. Come, let's have lunch together!"
Tsukishima glared at the loudness of your voice as you turned your chair around to face Mr Grumpy here. It was currently lunch time and seeing that Tsukishima was having lunch by himself, you decided to join him. Usually Yamaguchi would be eating with you guys, but he had something to do. Thus leaving you and Tsukishima alone together to have lunch.
Seeing the glare on the beanpole's face, you rolled your eyes as you took out two bento and placed in on the table, pushing one towards Tsukishima who raised an eyebrow at you.
"What's this?" Tsukishima asked.
"It's a bomb. Obviously it's a bento." You sarcastically replied.
Tsukishima scowled at your sarcasm and you simply ignored him. You broke your chopsticks in half and let out a "itadakimasu", digging into your food. With a mouth full of rice, you faced Tsukishima and explained. "It's for you. I bake strawberry shortcake yesterday and had left over."
You weren't going to tell Tsukishima the real reason you made strawberry shortcake was because of him. After all, what Tsukishima doesn't know wouldn't hurt him.
Tsukishima looked at you in disgust before pulling the bento closer to him and lifted the lid. Sure enough, inside was a delicious looking strawberry shortcake. Tsukishima glanced up at you with suspicion in his golden eyes.
You rolled your eyes as you took another bite, replying to his silent question. "I didn't add poison to the cake, in case you were wondering. So, it's safe to eat."
The first year gave you a suspicious look once more before picking up the fork and placed a bite into his mouth. You leaned forward in anticipation, watching his face for any reaction. Sweetness danced on Tsukishima's tongue the moment he took a bite.
This was the by far the best strawberry that Tsukishima had even eaten.
Your eyes gleaned with joy as Tsukishima ate bite after bite. In less than five minutes, the bento was empty as Tsukishima wiped his mouth with a napkin. Tsukishima glanced up at you as you stared at him with eagerness on your face.
"So, what do you think? Based on the way how you finished the cake so quickly, I shall take it as the cake was delicious?" You asked monotonously.
Despite your voice being montone, Tsukishima could see the nervous look in your eyes. He could tell that you wanted to hear his remarks after tasting the cake. In truth, Tsukishima genuinely enjoyed the cake. But in reality, being the sadist that he was, he decided to mess around with you.
Tsukishima placed his hands on his chin as he pretended to think about what to say. At this point, you were basically shaking in anticipation, the urge to know what Tsukishima thinks about your cake becoming stronger. You kept shifting in your seat restlessly as time kept dragging on. Finally after what felt like forever, Tsukishima looked at you with a serious look as you leaned forward.
"So?"
"..."
"Oh, come on! Don't leave me hanging string bean, it's killing me!"
Your entire body was leaning over the table as your face was directly in front of Tsukishima's face. Tsukishima flicked your forehead, causing you seat back down in your chair and whimpering in pain. The blond-haired male smirked at the glare you send his way.
"What the hell string bean! Was that really necessary?!"
"You were in my personal space.'
"You could have simply told me to back off instead of flicking me on the head! It hurts!"
You complaining as Tsukishima ignored you, putting his headphone and looked out of the window. You rubbed your sore forehead before turning back to finish your lunch, a miserable pout on your head. A few minutes passed as you finished your lunch in silence. You packed both the bentos that you brought with you to school into your school bag and stood up to throw any remaining dustbin when you heard Tsukishima saying in a quiet voice.
"The cake was delicious. I like it."
You smiled as you headed to the dustbin to throw the rubbish in. The smile stayed on your face for the rest of the day and for some reason, Tsukishima was in a good mood as well which puzzled his classmates.
Sometimes your class has a hard time trying to understand the two volleyball players.
Later that afternoon...
"Oikawa's featured in Monthly Volleyball, and it even has his picture." Tanaka complained, his hands shaking in rage as he stared at the magazine, a picture of Oikawa staring back at the bald second year.
The volleyball players were currently in the club room getting ready for their training and some of them were looking at the latest issue of Monthly Volleyball. Irritation could be seen on Nishinoya, Tanaka, Kageyama and Hinata's faces as they read through the article featuring Oikawa Tooru from Aoba Johsai. Meanwhile Suga's face simply expressed confusion, not understanding what's all the huge fuss about.
When Tanaka came across the page showing that the third years volleyball players of Aoba Johsai will be staying on, he almost tore the magazine in half as he shouted in rage. "Come on and bring it, Seijoh!"
Hinata showed his agreement by shouting at the top of his lungs as Suga slapped Tanaka in the face, causing the second year to fall to the floor, loosing his grip on the magazine. With a panic look on his face, Suga scolded Tanaka. "Hey! You're gonna rip it!"
Suga bend down to pick up the magazine from the floor as he flipped it opened, letting out a sigh at the behavior of his junior. "For crying out loud..."
However he stopped talking when he saw an article featuring Ushijima Wakatoshi from Shiratorizawa stared back at him. With a curious look on his face, Suga said "It's Ushikwaka." and attracting the attention of his teammates.
They skimped through the page until Hinata's eyes focused on the word "Japan" printed on the jacket that Ushijima was wearing and loudly exclaimed, "Japan?"
That was when Daichi and a few of the other volleyball players entered the room, telling the remaining players to get out out of the club room as training was about to start. Suga turned to face Daichi with widen eyes, surprise written all over his face.
"Hey...Ushiwaka's in the Youth World."
"What?"
"Youth world?" Yamaguchi asked.
"It means that he's representing Japan in the under 19 age group." Everyone turned to the direction of your voice as you answered Yamaguchi's question.
"(name)-chan, what are you doing here?" Daichi asked as he raised an eyebrow at you.
You simply smiled as you replied. "I came here to inform you that I wouldn't be able to join you guys in today's training."
All the boys stared at you with curious looks on their faces as you simply chuckled, saying. "I will be attending Shiratorizawa's boys' volleyball team's training today."
Upon hearing your words, Tsukishima glanced at you with a smug look as he accused you. "Oho, so Munichkin-chan here has decided to betray her own team by attending another school's volleyball training instead of her team's?"
You turned to glare at Tsukishima before facing your friends who looked sadden at the though. You gave a sigh as you raised your hands in surrender, explaining. "Don't listen to string bean. It's just only for today that I had to attend Shiratorizawa's training. It's important and I can't skip it."
"What business do you have with that school?" Daichi asked, his eyes narrowed at you.
You rolled your (e/c) eyes at your captain. You honestly can't believe that your very own friends will think that you are betraying them for another volleyball team. What's the point of being friends if they can't trust you?
Placing your hands on your hips, you fixed your teammates a stern look and said in a serious tone. "Look, I'm not betraying you for another team, alright? It's just that I have been asked by the coach of Youth World to dropped by Shiratorizawa and checked up on Ushijima-san since he ignored the calls and messages sent to him."
You were only met with silence.
You glanced at your friends with confusion as you asked. "What's the matter? Why are you guys so quiet all of a sudden?"
Suddenly, shouts of surprise, shock and anger filled the tiny club room as your friends erupted into chaos.
"The coach of Youth World contacted you?!"
"(name)-chan, what's your connection with them?"
"Looks like Munichkin-chan has once again betrayed us."
"AHHHH! DON'T LEAVE US, (NICKNAME)-CHAN! PLEASE!."
You sweat dropped at the boys' reaction, especially at Hinata's who has his arms wrapped around your waist as he knelt in front of you with tears in his enlarged eyes, begging you not to leave the team. You tried to pry Hinata's arms off you as you explained yourself, hopefully it will calm them down.
"Guys, chill! Seriously. And Hinata, let go of me. The reason why the coach of Youth World contacted me to check on Ushijima-san is because as the manager of the Japan's Youth World team, it's my job to check up on the players once in a while during the off-peak season when they are not competing. I'm not gonna leave Karasuno's team."
The boys gave a sigh of relief before nodding their heads in understanding. You let out a sigh of relief as Hinata finally released you from his tight embrace. Silence filled the club room for a while before Nishinoya asked, "Wait, if I didn't hear wrongly, did (name)-chan said that she is the manager of the Japan's Youth World team?"
Everyone's widen at the libero's words. Before another chaos can break out again, you hurriedly said. "Before you guys freak out again, please listen to what I had to say. The reason why I am the manager of the Japan's Youth World team was because their previous manager had some family issue and took a break from them. At the same time, I was planning to quit the Russia's female's Youth World team since I'm planning to complete my studies in Japan. They needed a new manager and since I was available considering I was no longer playing as the libero for the Russian team, they decided to ask me. So, I said why not and accepted their offer. "
The players let out noises of understanding as you calm down at the fact they weren't going to freak out. Except they were freaking out due to the excitement of their assistant coach being the manager of Japan's Youth World team. Chatters broke out among the boys as they discussed about this new piece of information about you.
Maybe you shouldn't have told them.
But you were glad that you did when they turned to you with awe and admiration in their eyes as they shoot you questions after questions, especially Kageyama and Hinata who were shaking with pure curiosity and excitement. Meanwhile, Tsukishima glanced at you as you patiently answered his teammates' burning questions regarding about Youth World. He would be lying if he denied the fact that Tsukishima was surprised that you were their manager.
This just showed that your talent as a volleyball player was out of this world.
"(name)-chan, is it really true that the players in the Youth World are as tall as giants?" Hinata asked, curiosity shinning in his eyes.
You laughed at the orange-haired's innocence. "Hahaha! The volleyball players are tall, but they are not as tall as giants. At the most, they are slight taller or around the same height as Tsukishima."
"Sugoi!"
You smiled at Hinata's enthusiasm before facing the rest as you said with a guilty smile. "I wish I can stay and talk more, but I gotta go. Also, I apologized for not being able to attend today's training. But don't worry as it's only a one time thing."
"It's fine (name)-chan. You better go or else you'll be late. We'll see you at tomorrow's training." Suga kindly said, assuring you that none of them was angry at you.
With once last wave and a chorus of goodbyes from your friends, you left Karasuno and headed for Shiratorizawa.
***
"Waka-kun! Get your ass here right now!"
The volleyball players of Shiratorizawa turned to the direction of the voice and they were met with a fuming (h/c)-haired female standing by the entrance of their school's gym. You were basically glaring at Ushijima who blinked at the sight of you. His teammates turned to stare at him with curious or confused looks as he made his way towards you.
"(name), what are you doing here at Shiratorizawa?" Ushijima asked monotonously, his face blank as usual.
You crossed your arms as you left out a huff, saying. "You tell me, Waka-kun."
Ushijima once again blink blankly at you as a frown settled on his face. "I have no clue."
You let out a sigh as you patiently explained to the ace of Shiratorizawa standing in front of you, looking clueless. "Coach send me here since you kept refusing to reply his texts or calls. Because of that, I have been asked, more like forced, to come down to your school to check on you."
"I'm sorry for not replying coach's texts or calls."
"It's fine Waka-kun, I'm not here to scold you. Besides it's my job as your manager to ensure that you are doing well."
"I'm well."
"My, my what do we have here?"
You and Ushijima turned your head around at the third voice. Your eyes widen when you saw that it was none other then Satori Tendou, a middle blocker. "Tendou-kun, nice to see you again. It's been a while."
Satori placed an arm around you as he rubbed his right cheek against your left while you giggled at his actions. This was yours and Satori's usual way of greeting. The red-haired male took a good long look at you before saying. "Hey there, (nickname)-chan. How have you been?"
You grinned at Satori as you replied. "I'm fine. I'm currently attending Karasuno High and I'm the assistant coach for the boys' volleyball team there."
"Ah, the flightless crows. I've heard of them before."
You scowled at Satori at the way how he mocked your friends. As long as you are around, you wouldn't forgive those who talked bad about the Karasuno's volleyball team. After all, they have worked their ass off to get to where they are now.
So, with a dark look on your face, you grabbed Satori by the front of his shirt and pulled him down so that you were face to face with him. "We might be friends, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't hesitate to kick your ass if you dare to breathe one more bad words about my friends. Is that clear?"
Satori looked at you in surprise before raising his hands in surrender, saying. "I got it, I got it. You don't have to go all ape shit on me."
You released Satori as you ignored him and faced Ushijima once more, back to your usual cheerful self. "Now that's out of the way, I apologized for disrupting your training. So, let's get back to practice while I assessed you to ensure that you are still in touch with your volleyball skills."
Ushijima opened his mouth, wanting to tell you that he was still as skilled as the last time you saw him when you went on. "Don't bother to tell me. I know that you are still as skilled as the last time I saw you. I'm doing this so that coach will stop hounding after me about you. Now, let's go!"
With that, you spend the rest of the afternoon in boredom as you assessed Ushijima. How you wished you could be back at Karasuno training with your friends. At least, their training wasn't as boring as dull as Shiratorizawa's training.
***
"Hinata? Kageyama? What are you guys doing here? Shouldn't you be at Karasuno training?"
You asked the two first years in confusion who stared at you with panicked looks on their faces. You came out of the gym to have some fresh air, not being able to stand the stuffiness in there. No thanks to Shiratorizawa's coach. You glanced up to Ushijima for an explanation who simply gave you a blank look, not saying anything.
"(nickname)-chan! What a surprise to see you here!" Hinata laughed nervously.
You simply raised an eyebrow at the ball of sunshine in front of you.
Ushijima simply ignored you as he spoke up. "As I was saying before (name) appeared. Other than Oikawa, everyone at Aoba Johsai is weak."
Your (e/c) eyes widen at Ushijima's words, not expecting him to say that at all. You knew about the bad chemistry between Ushijima and the players of Aoba Johsai, but you didn't expect him to look down on them just because he was a better player.
Anger boiled in you as you clenched your hands. You were about to reply when suddenly Hinata spoke up, his hair hiding his eyes. "Weak?"
You watched with guarded eyes as Hinata walked closer towards Ushijima, ready to intervene if things turned sour.
"If Seijoh is infertile soil, are we concrete or something?"
You smirked at the look on Ushijima's face as he stared at the predatory look on Hinata's face, resembling that of a hungry crow seeking for blood. Trust Hinata to never back down despite always being scared of players stronger than him.
"I apologize if I hit a nerve, but words from someone who lost to Aoba Johsai and couldn't even stay in the prefectural finals, mean nothing to me."
You grit your teeth as Ushijima's words struck a cord within you. You admired strong players like Ushijima and Oikawa, you truly do. However the moment they started insulting players that are on the same level as them in terms of volleyball, you can't help but want to slap them. The one thing you hate in this world is people like this. They can be as talented as they want, but if they are not humble about themselves, they lost all respect from you.
You were about to tell the ace off when a volleyball flew out of the gym, heading in Ushijima's direction. Ushijima jumped to catch the ball, only to be caught by Hinata who jumped in front of the ace. Ushijima's eyes widen in shock at how fast Hinata reacted and caught the ball, the height of his jump catching Ushijima off guard considering Hinata's isn't very tall to begin with.
"I'm Hinata Shoyo, from the concrete."
You watched as Hinata approached Ushijima and shoved the volleyball into the ace's hands, declaring. "I'm going to beat you, and go to nationals."
Ushijima and Hinata stared at one another, silently vowing that the next time they see each other again will be on court. In your mind, you imagine a crow and an eagle flying next to each other in blue sky, the black and white feathers contrasting against each other.
"Thank you for showing us around. We'll be going now." Hinata bowed before walking off.
"If Oikawa-san is the best setter in the prefecture, I'm the one who is going to surpass him." Kageyama stared at Ushijima, also bowing before catching up with Hinata.
You grinned at your friends' retreating back before turning to Ushijima who glanced down at you, your voice serious as you spoke. "Don't take this the wrong way, Waka-kun. I know that we are friends and teammates, however now that the Youth World isn't competing, we are just friends. I'll let it slide just this once, but the next time you insult Karasuno, I wouldn't hesitate to teach you a lesson whether we are friends or not. The next time we meet, it will be at a court and by then, I can ensure you that Karasuno would no longer be the ' flightless crows' that we once were."
You stared at Ushijima, your eyes resembling a crow as you went on. "I'll make sure of that. So, mark my words. I'll see you again.
With that, you turned your back onto Ushijima as you caught up with your friends.
You might be friends with some of Miyagi's best volleyball players, but once you faced them on courts, they become merely rivals to you. Because for now, Karasuno's boys' volleyball team is your main priority and you'll make sure that they will get to nationals.
After all, you yourself is one of the best volleyball player in Japan.

Bonus:
Later that night, you were with the boys as Takeda talked to everyone.
"As for our away games in Tokyo, it will be held during the weekend next month. Since it's away from Miyagi, permission slips will be given out to you for your parents or guardians to sign. The school has given us the go ahead sign as well."
At that, everyone looked at one another with smiles on their faces. Your smile remained on your face, that was until Takeda mentioned about exams.
"However, you have final exams starting next month. Right?"
Takeda stared at Tanaka, Nishinoya, Kageyama and Hinata who immediately looked away. The four boys began to tremble as Takeda went on. "If you fail any subjects, supplementary classes will be that weekend. Which means you wouldn't be able to go to the away games."
You felt a shiver run down your spine at the look on Takeda-sensei's face. For once, Takeda-sensei remind you of a crow with that look on your face.
Look like going to Tokyo wouldn't be easy as you think it was.
