At the end of the game, not long after everyone in Karasuno exited the players' tunnel, they saw Hinata Shoyo, half of his face wrapped in bandages, walking out with choked sobs.
As a first-year freshman, he naturally knows how much Karasuno's third-year seniors have given up for this spring high school competition.
Not to mention the time spent training during the summer vacation.
If you want to participate in the Spring High School Competition, you have to give up a lot of time to prepare for the entrance examination that will be held in February or March of the next year.
If he could successfully enter the national competition, he would have achieved his wish. However, now that all of this has been destroyed by his own hands, one can only imagine what level of regret Xiang Xiangyang has reached in his heart.
Sawamura Daichi and others, who seemed to have not recovered yet, were stunned for a moment when they first heard Hinata's voice. Then when they turned around and saw Hinata's current appearance, they suddenly woke up: "Wow! Rihi...
···Hinata, is your health okay? What are the test results?"
"The doctor said there should be no major problems with the brain, but the cartilage in the nasal cavity is slightly injured. The doctor recommended resting for a while. However, Hinata was a little worried about the result of the competition, so he asked me to send him here first."
Takeda Kaztetsu, who was following Hinata and still holding the medical sheet in his hand, said.
"Really! That's good."
After getting this result, everyone in Karasuno breathed a sigh of relief.
But then there was silence again.
After a while.
It was Wu Yangxin who coughed lightly and interrupted the silence and said: "Ahem~~Okay, since Hinata is fine, let's get ready! The award ceremony will start in a while."
"The coach is right."
Sawamura Daichi also squeezed out a smile and said: "Hinata, actually you don't have to blame yourself too much. After all, Qingcheng is really strong this year. What's more, although we were eliminated early, it is not necessarily a bad thing.
At least this way, we can prepare for the next entrance examination with peace of mind."
······
The award ceremony was held at the Sendai City Gymnasium.
The qualifiers also divided the championship, runner-up, and third runner-up, and the organizers even came up with some awards such as 'Best Attacker of the Season', 'Best Setter of the Season', and 'MVP of the Season'.
Before the formal award ceremony began, the organizer also invited many leaders to make declarations.
After all, although the qualifying competition can only be regarded as a county-level competition, the [county] on the island country is equivalent to the [province] on the mainland, and a competition involving the entire province is not considered a small event.
"Hey~ You guys should be fine, right?" The leader was speaking from above, and Oikawa Toru suddenly patted Akashi Asuka on the shoulder and said.
"Huh? What's the problem?" Akashi Asuka was startled by what Oikawa Toru said, and he didn't understand what this guy meant at all.
Oikawa Toru didn't respond, but pouted his lips in a certain direction. Akashi Asuka followed his line of sight and suddenly saw Hinata Shoyo, half of his face wrapped in bandages, standing in the center of Karasuno's queue.
Immediately, Akashi Asuka understood what Oikawa Toru meant.
"If you are worried that I will feel guilty for hurting Hinata, then you don't have to worry. That incident was just a simple accident, and the cause of this is not me, but the guy's lack of solid foundation.
, otherwise the goal just now should have been an excellent defense, not an accident."
Oikawa Toru looked at Akashi Asuka in surprise and said, "I suddenly found that you are so cold and terrifying in some places!"
Akashi Asuka did not respond.
In fact, for many high school students, if such an accident occurs during a game, no matter whose fault it is, the person who caused the injury will inevitably have some doubts about themselves.
Some people who are psychologically sensitive may have already collapsed when they saw that large pool of blood.
But some of the things Akashi Asuka experienced while playing basketball in college in his previous life were far more harsh than these. If such a result was caused by his own fault, he would naturally feel guilty and blame himself.
But in a situation like Hinata's, it's just like in a basketball game when someone else has jumped and dunked in mid-air, but you insist on blocking the shot, but are knocked straight away and injured.
This is usually the case.
Players who knock others away will most likely not blame themselves, and may even show off their strong physique.
After the leaders above each have gone through the process, the award ceremony officially begins.
First of all, the three rankings of the team, the first, second and third place, were given to Aoki, Karasuno and Shiratorizawa respectively.
Then there are individual awards.
The best offensive player of the season went to Ushijima Wakali.
The best setter of the season went to Oikawa Toru.
The season MVP was given to Akashi Asuka.
A county-level award is not big or small. Perhaps for many ordinary players, such an award will be a bonus in the entrance examination or university special recruitment.
But for Akashi Asuka, Oikawa Toru, and Ushijima Wakatoshi, except for the first place ticket to the national competition, other such awards are basically not much different from consolation prizes.
After the award ceremony.
As usual, everyone in Qingcheng accepted an exclusive interview with Sports Monthly, but the shock caused by winning the championship this time was not as big as last semester.
Because winning the championship for the first time will be surprising, but the second time it will feel natural.
After the interview.
After everyone returned to Qingcheng for a brief rest, they were dismissed by Nobuteru Irihata and everyone went back to their homes.
Although the school is still in session at this time, the volleyball club has won a championship after all, so it is only natural to take a short break.
Return to Sanhe Village.
Except for the landlady, no one else inside has finished school yet.
After Akashi Asuka said hello to the landlady, he returned to his room, took a shower, changed his clothes, and then went directly to bed to rest.
After all, four games were played, with a total duration of nearly two hours.
No matter how good Asuka Akashi's physical condition is, he is obviously quite exhausted.
Wake up from sleep.
It was past three o'clock in the afternoon, and several office workers in Sanhezhuang had not yet gotten off work. However, Tomoko Horiguchi, a college student, and Koichi Kudo, a member of the Homecoming Club, had already returned to Sanhezhuang.
"Congratulations, Akashi-kun!"
Akashi Asuka washed his face and walked to the living room when he heard Kudo Koichi, who was playing games next to him, congratulating him.
Akashi Asuka nodded and said: "Thank you!"
On the other hand, Tomoko Horiguchi, who was on the side, was a little confused and asked doubtfully: "Koichi, what did you mean by congratulations just now?"
"Of course it's to celebrate Akashi-kun's club winning the championship!"
