Accommodation base for the national youth training team.
Although Karasuno lost to Aoki in the qualifiers, Kageyama Tobio was discovered by the coach of the youth training team and invited to stay together just like in the original work.
"Hey~~I heard that you defeated Shiratorizawa in the qualifiers? Why did you win? Was Ruori in bad shape that day?"
During lunch time, Kageyama Tobio was eating in the cafeteria when a man wearing a mask and a gloomy face suddenly came over and asked.
"······"
Kageyama Tobio was silent for a while, and then replied: "No, as far as I can tell he was in pretty good condition that day."
"Why is that? What tricks did you use? Or did you say that someone blocked Jolly to death? And you have obviously defeated Shiratorizawa, why did you lose to Aoki in the end?"
The person wearing the mask is none other than Sakuza Seomiji.
Hearing that Ushijima Wakali was eliminated again, and that the team that eliminated them this time was not Aoki, Sakuhaha Seomi became excited instantly.
"Are you going to stop Ushijima-senpai?"
Kageyama Tobio thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It seems not. We were able to defeat Shiratorizawa probably just because the team's overall strength was stronger than Shiratorizawa. But we lost to Qingcheng for the same reason.
That’s all.”
Kageyama Tobio's social language is as concise and clear as ever.
"Ah~~Sorry, sorry, this guy has this kind of character. It's normal to be extra concerned about guys who may threaten you."
At this moment, Moto Komori, whose eyebrows looked like two ink dots, emerged from behind Sakuza Seiko and spoke apologetically towards Kageyama Tobio.
"By the way, by the way, isn't that guy Akashi in the same county as you? Since you received the invitation to youth training, why didn't that guy come?"
"I don't know about this either."
Kageyama Tobio shook his head.
In fact, he was also very curious about this matter. Kageyama Tobio originally thought he would have a chance to play against Akashi Asuka again in the youth training team, but he didn't expect that he didn't see Akashi Asuka after he came here.
Both are in first grade.
To say that he was invited but Akashi Asuka was not invited, Kageyama Tobio obviously didn't believe it.
"Akashi declined the invitation to youth training." Suddenly, Sakuzaa Sacred Minister interjected.
"Huh? Rejected."
Hearing this answer, not only Motoya Komori and Tobio Kageyama, but even the people in the seats next to him were obviously stunned for a moment.
It seems that these people have never thought that someone would actually refuse an invitation from the national youth training team.
"Why?" Gu Senyuan was also a little unbelievable.
"He said he had other things to do. And the invitation to the youth training team was not mandatory in the first place. Isn't it strange that he refused?" Sakuza Seomi said.
"this······"
Komori Yuan was also speechless for a moment.
In fact, he really wanted to say that it seemed to have nothing to do with whether it was forced or not!
After all, we are all high school students. How could any high school student remain indifferent to an invitation from the national youth training team?
"That's wrong!"
Suddenly, Komori Yuan also noticed something was wrong: "Holy minister, don't you always hate communicating with others? Why do you know so much about Akashi-kun? Even the county's Kageyama clearly doesn't know about this matter."
Sakuza Seomiji: "········"
In fact, on that night at the beach during the summer vacation, Sakuza Seomi not only got an autograph from Akashi Asuka, but also a social account.
In recent days, Sakuza and Akashi Asuka have been in contact quite frequently, mainly to urge updates.
As for Akashi Asuka's rejection of the invitation to the youth training team, Akashi Asuka said it casually during a casual chat.
A man adds another man's social account.
Is there a problem with this?
No problem at all.
But for some reason, facing Komori Motoya's inquiry, Sakuzao Holy Minister felt guilty inexplicably.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Without saying a word, Sakuzao Holy Minister turned around and left the cafeteria.
"Oh! Wait a minute, Holy Minister, you haven't told me how you know this yet, wait a minute..." Gu Senyuan also hurriedly chased after him.
·······
Wait until the two of them leave.
Chikagaya Eikichi (Senran High School's assistant attacker) across from Tobio Kageyama's dining room table just let out a long breath.
"Huh~ It's really scary. The pressure from these monsters is too much. Speaking of Kageyama, your Miyagi Prefecture preliminaries were too brutal! Even a school like Shiratorizawa only got one preliminary this year.
Third place?"
Chikaya Eikichi originally thought that this year's competition in Saitama Prefecture was difficult enough. His school reached the finals and after five hard-fought games, they were ultimately defeated.
But I never expected that this year's fierce fighting in Miyagi Prefecture would directly cause Shiratorizawa, who owns Ushijima Wakatoshi, to fall to third place.
It's simply too grassy.
"Second place and third place are the same. As long as you can't get a ticket to the national competition, none of this means anything." Kageyama Tobio said calmly.
Hearing this, Chiluya Eiji sighed in agreement: "You're absolutely right. As long as you fail to enter the national competition, none of this means anything."
Akashi Asuka declined the invitation at the youth training camp base, which triggered a rather lively discussion.
And as the protagonist of the story.
At this time, Akashi Asuka had already led Qingcheng to the Sendai City Third Gymnasium.
The Third Gymnasium in Sendai City is relatively remote, and compared to the First and Second Gymnasiums, this comprehensive gymnasium is much smaller in size, so generally not many people come here to participate in exercises.
Today, the number of people in this gymnasium is even more pitiful, because the entire volleyball court in the third gymnasium is rented by one team.
"Long time no see, Oda!" Seeing Miki Oda, Ryuhei Mitsuga's face suddenly burst into smiles and he greeted her.
"We just met a week ago, and you beat us so badly, you won't forget it so soon!" Oda Miki said speechlessly.
"Forget it, my brother and the others have already started training, you should hurry up and start warming up!"
"Okay!"
Mikata Ryuhei responded, and then led everyone into the gymnasium, while Akashi Asuka and Iriyata Nobuteru followed Oda Miki, preparing to meet his brother first.
In the locker room.
Everyone in Qingcheng changed their uniforms with slightly excited expressions.
"Ah la la~~ I'm a little nervous about playing against professional players. By the way, where is the restroom? I want to go to the restroom first."
"Turn right when you go out, you bastard Oikawa, don't let me off the hook at this critical moment, or I'll beat you up."
"Don't worry! Iwaizumi-chan, I will definitely not disgrace our Qingcheng."
Oikawa Toru hummed a tune and walked out of the locker room. Just as he walked into the bathroom and turned the corner, a head of orange hair suddenly bumped into Oikawa Toru's arms.
