The atmosphere in the hotel was unusually quiet, and the faces of everyone in Qingcheng were solemn.
The match between Tomei and Xiaogu has ended.
The final winner was Owl Valley Academy, winning with a score of 2 to 0.
But since overseeing the match between Oguya and Tomei, the joy that everyone in Qingcheng had just won in the first round has completely disappeared.
"It's too strong, Xiaogu's 'ace'." After an unknown amount of time, someone finally spoke.
"Faced with the tight defense of Tobimi Academy, we were able to find gaps and score such a high score difference. We are worthy of being ranked among the top five "aces" in the country."
In the daytime game, ever since Ougaya Academy's "ace" status recovered, Tobimi Academy's anticipatory blocking has never had any effect.
Xiaogu Academy almost defeated the bamboos and won the qualification for the first round of competition.
Not only that.
What makes everyone even more uneasy is that, in addition to his superb skills, Xiao Gu's "ace" also has a magical power that can boost the morale of others.
At that time, everyone in Qingcheng saw that goal.
Even as enemies, when they saw the ball scored by Xiao Gu's "ace", they still felt excited and excited.
Everyone in Qingcheng is also a veteran player who has experienced many battles.
They naturally know how terrifying an 'ace' who can boost the morale of his teammates at critical moments can be.
"Bah bang bang...Okay, don't increase the popularity of others and destroy your own prestige."
Seeing that his team's morale had plummeted before the game even started, Iwaizumi immediately stood up, clapped and said: "Although Xiaogu is very strong, we are not weak either. Don't forget, we defeated the national rankings.
Only the top three 'aces' advance to the national competition, the worst they can do is have the same competition again tomorrow."
Iwaizumi's encouragement is very useful.
Think about it too.
They only got tickets to the national competition after defeating Ushijima Wakatoshi, so there is no reason to be afraid of an 'ace' who is in the top five in the country!
"Okay, let's go back to sleep! Keep your spirits up so that you can use 100% of your strength to deal with Xiao Gu tomorrow."
"yes!"
As soon as Iwaizumi finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly, he seemed to remember something again, stopped and turned to look at someone: "Hey! Bastard Oikawa, don't sleep too late tonight, otherwise you will be there tomorrow.
If something goes wrong on the field, be careful and I'll beat you up."
Oikawa Toru: "...Iwaizumi-chan, actually you can really be gentler to me."
Iwaizumi: "(〝▼Ta▼)ah?"
Oikawa Toru: "Σ(Д;)...I didn't say anything, don't worry! Iwaizumi-chan, I will definitely appear on the field full of energy tomorrow."
Iwaizumi snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Oikawa Tetsu was left alone to sigh deeply, then took out today's video tape of [Owlaya vs Tomi] and watched it attentively.
"Alas~~"
······
"Let me tell you three times, you guy obviously didn't play today, why are you sighing here?"
In the hotel dormitory, in the first-year rest area, Akashi Asuka was reviewing his homework with a book in his arms. However, sighs came one after another in his ears, disturbing his study, and the word 'angry' popped up on Akashi Asuka's forehead.
Mikata Ryuhei: "······"
These words were simply a whisper from Galen, silent and breaking his guard.
Longping clenched his fists three times, his expression changed several times, and then... he clenched his fists even tighter.
Damn it, I can't refute it.
After a while.
Mikata Ryuhei's voice sounded again: "Hey! Akashi. We must win tomorrow's game! Don't let the regrets of our junior high school appear again."
Akashi Asuka's reading hand paused slightly, and then said calmly: "Don't worry!"

[Okay, everyone in the audience and in front of the TV, good morning. 】
【I am Oda, today’s commentator.】
【I am Daejeon.】
[Welcome to continue watching our program, this is the Tokyo Gymnasium, and what we are about to start is the second round promotion match for the men’s volleyball division of the National High School Students Comprehensive Sports Conference.]
[After yesterday’s elimination, there are now thirty-two representative teams left.]
[The upcoming match is between Tokyo’s second representative team, Obitani Gakuen, and Miyagi Prefecture’s representative team, Aoba Jonishi Private High School.]
[First, let’s introduce the starting players of both sides.]
[The person wearing black uniforms on the left court is Obitani Academy. The first person to appear is the leader of the volleyball club, No. 4 main attacker: Kotaro Bokuto! 】
As the commentary started to sound, Kotaro Kotaro Bokuto, the "ace" of Owlaya, was the first to take the field, and immediately there was a warm cheering sound from around the stadium!
"Oh oh oh~~~"
"Come on! Owl."
"Wood Rabbit, Wood Rabbit, Wood Rabbit..."
After hearing such warm cheers, Kotaro Bokuto's already sparkling eyes suddenly became even more excited.
[Oh~~ It seems that the Wood Rabbit player is very popular! 】
[Of course, after all, this is one of the top five ‘aces’ in the country! 】
[Okay, let’s continue introducing the remaining players. Next up will be Player Bokuto and No. 5 setter from Owlaya Academy: Player Keiji Akae. 】
[No. 7’s main attacker: Konoha Akuki.]
[Second Attacker No. 2: Washio Tatsuki.]
[No. 12 secondary attacker: O Nagawata.]
[Free man No. 11: Haruki Omi.]
[The one on the right wearing blue and white uniforms is Aoba Jonishi Private High School. The first player to appear is the captain of the volleyball club, No. 1 setter: Toru Oikawa]
【······】
[And the final No. 8 attacker: Asuka Akashi.]
"Go, go, go, Qingcheng! Go up, go up, go up, Qingcheng!"
"Come on Qingcheng!"
In the audience, the vocal club played Qingcheng's school song and tried their best to cheer everyone up.
······
"Hey~hey~hey~ I heard that you defeated Ushiwaka, right?" Just as the Qingcheng players were preparing to warm up, Xiaogu's 'ace' suddenly walked towards them.
Faced with such a powerful opponent, other people in Qingcheng naturally became vigilant subconsciously, thinking that the opponent was coming to declare war or provoke.
But only Akashi Asuka knew that this guy was probably sick again.
So Akashi Asuka walked straight to Kotaro Bokuto and thought for a while and said: "You heard it wrong. In fact, we did not defeat Ushiwaka-senpai because on the day of the qualifiers, Ushiwaka-senpai was sick and could not participate in the competition. We were just lucky.
.”
"Oh? Really!"
Kotaro Bokuto was shocked, and then he believed it.
"So that's it..." Bokuto Kotaro suddenly became sluggish, his hands drooping listlessly, and his whole person looked like a lost owl.
"I thought you defeated Ushiwaka? If that's the case, then if I defeat you then, wouldn't it mean that I am stronger than Ushiwaka!"
"But now, even if I defeat you, it's meaningless!"
For a moment, Kotaro Bokuto seemed to have lost the meaning of life, like a soulless body, and even his hair became limp.
When members of the Qingcheng and Xiaogu teams saw the appearance of Kotaro Bokuto, black lines suddenly appeared on their foreheads: "...I'm afraid this guy is not a fool!"
Then they looked at Akashi Asuka who was lying and expressionless: "This man can even lie to fools, he is simply not a human being."
