The hot high temperature brings the taste of summer.
"Yo~ What are you looking at?"
In Class A, the first grade of Aoba Josai Private High School, Asuka Akashi walked up to Ryuhei Mitsuka, took a look at the items on the desk, and found that it was the latest volleyball monthly magazine.
The content reported in the monthly magazine is none other than the national competition that just ended not long ago.
[The representative of Miyagi Prefecture, Aoba Jonishi Private High School, lost to the current national champion in the quarter-finals and unfortunately stopped in the quarterfinals!!!]
After taking a look at the content of the report, Akashi Asuka immediately became happy.
"It's really interesting. It turns out that all reporters and newspapers across the country are like birds of a feather? The 2-0 defeat can be said to be a close defeat. It's really enough to put some gold on our face!"
Ryuhei rolled his eyes at him and didn't even bother to talk to Akashi Asuka.
Why can't this be said to be a 'lucky defeat'?
In this year's national competition, if the organizer hadn't been incompetent, in the quarter-finals, they would have been given an opponent with the last "ace" among the top three in the country - Jingdashan Academy.
Qingcheng may not have the opportunity to achieve better results.
To know.
This year’s national competition, Jing Dashan is the champion.
In other words, Qingcheng will be eliminated early if it encounters the championship team in advance.
Turn back one page.
The person who appears on the cover is none other than Akashi Asuka's photo at the national competition.
His photo alone almost occupies the entire cover, and at the top of the cover, the words "The Nation's Sixth Super Ace is Born" are written boldly.
Obviously, because of Akashi Asuka's performance in the national competition, Volleyball Monthly has now officially listed him as the 'national sixth ace' alongside Kotaro Bokuto.
There is no doubt about it.
Akashi Asuka became famous in one battle.
······
After school in the afternoon.
Akashi Asuka and Sange Ryuhei came to the volleyball club. There was no familiar sound of hitting balls in the venue today because the national competition was over. Nobuteru Irimata decided to give the club members a short break.
When we walked into the activity room, most of the third-year members hadn't arrived yet, only Kunimiying and Kindaichi were there.
Kindaichi was about to change clothes, while Kunimiying was sitting in the corner, holding a book in his hand and reading with gusto...
"What are you looking at? Kunimi." Mikata Ryuhei asked curiously.
"novel!"
"What novel?"
"This is "The Cautious Brave". It's a very interesting novel. It's different from traditional brave novels. I was recommended to me by a bookstore owner. I heard that the sales have been very hot recently."
"Oh? Really? Then after school, I will buy a copy and read it."
While chatting, Mikata Ryuhei put all his sportswear into the closet.
Akashi Asuka on the side: "······"
to be honest.
Akashi Asuka hadn't noticed it before, but today when Kunimiying and Mikata Ryuhei suddenly talked about their novels in front of him, Akashi Asuka suddenly felt a very strange and awkward feeling.
"Speaking of which, I heard Yagumi-senpai say before that the third-year seniors seem to be preparing to retire this summer. Did you know?"
"well?"
As soon as these words came out, Mikata Ryuhei and Kindaichi were shocked.
"No way! Who did you listen to if it was true or false?"
Kunimiying still had the listless expression, turned the page of the novel, and continued: "It seems like this is the case in many schools. Although the spring high school has been moved forward to January, third-year seniors who intend to enter higher education generally
Retire early and prepare for college exams."
"And for many third-year seniors in our school, their long-cherished dream is to defeat Shiratorizawa and advance to the national competition."
"Now both wishes have been fulfilled, so even if these seniors retire early, it's not unusual, is it?"
Kindaichi and Mikata Ryuhei were speechless for a moment.
They had to admit that Guo Jianying's guess was not impossible. After all, for the vast majority of high school students, participating in club activities and entering the national competition was considered as a successful achievement of the entire high school goal.
So in the next time, it is not a surprising choice to consider your future and work hard to prepare for the exam.
"Don't worry! These people won't retire so easily..."
Just when Kindaichi and Mikata Ryuhei felt uneasy, Akashi Asuka suddenly said with some meaning: "Those people like volleyball so much, how could they give up so easily."
"What's more, although we successfully entered the national competition this year, people's dreams are extremely greedy!"
······
While the new first-year students were discussing the retirement of third-year students in the activity room, on the other side, on the third-year teaching floor, Oikawa Tetsuya found Iwaizumi Kazuya.
"Hello! Iwaizumi-chan, how are you thinking about your retirement? I've decided to stay!"
"Ha~"
Iwaizumi sneered: "With your academic performance, if you don't continue playing volleyball, do you think you can get into college?"
Oikawa Tooru: "······"
"It's too much, it's too much, Iwaizumi-chan! You are stabbing a knife into my chest, do you know that? I don't care, I don't care, you have to make it up to me!"
Iwaizumi: "(▼へ▼メ)"
It's hard, the fist is hard.
We haven't seen each other for just a few days, how did this guy become so disgusting?
"Haha~~ There is no compensation, but there are a lot of fists. You will have the opportunity to taste them slowly in the future." Iwaizumi sneered.
Oikawa Toru: "Ah~ So, Iwaizumi-chan, you are planning to stay too."
Iwaizumi didn't respond, so he acquiesced.
In fact.
Originally, Iwaizumi had indeed planned to retire, but this was not because his goal of advancing to the national competition had been achieved, but because he felt that by retiring at this time, he could give his juniors more opportunities to compete.
However, just last night, Iwaizumi suddenly received an email from someone (yes, that's right, someone I know).
The content is only eight words:
"Go high in the spring and dominate the country!"
Good guy.
After seeing the eight words sent by Akashi Asuka, Iwaizumi, who was already lying on the bed about to rest at 12:30 in the morning, suddenly jumped up from the bed, and a rush of blood rushed straight to his forehead.
Dominate the country!
Which high school student can withstand such a test?
And more importantly, when Iwaizumi thought carefully, he discovered that if Qingcheng's current team configuration is used, the goal of "domesticating the country" is really not impossible to achieve.
This is the thought.
Iwaizumi immediately forgot about any ‘opportunity for juniors to play’.
