Chapter 87

Chapter 87 The fight for the “ace”

May Day Golden Week.

This is the last short holiday before the National High School Sports League qualifiers, so in order to prepare for the league, almost all school sports clubs will hold training camps during this short holiday.

Karasuno is like this.

Qingcheng is no exception.

However, at this critical moment, a person in Qingcheng who was least likely to ask for leave did.

That's right.

It's him, it's him, it's him.

Our training fiend—Akashi Asuka.

no way.

Akashi Asuka doesn't want to take leave at this time, but today happens to be the day when his new book is released.

After signing the contract, after nearly a month of preparation, Akashi Asuka's book was finally printed and sold in major bookstores.

The sales of physical books are the same as the online subscriptions of previous generations.

They are all existences that can directly determine the life or death of a book, so it is not too much for Akashi Asuka to take a special leave for this purpose.

Then what is Asuka Akashi doing?

In fact, he didn't do anything, mainly because his beautiful editor Wakayama Kika kept doing it.

The two of them didn't stop for the whole day.

I have been going back and forth to major bookstores throughout Aoba District.

Mainly because Wakayama Kika is secretly observing the readers' reactions. After all, he is a newly graduated college student, and young people are always full of energy.

Wait until the next day.

Akashi Asuka returned to the training dormitory in Qingcheng.

After returning, a group of people came over to ask Akashi Asuka what he had done yesterday.

Akashi Asuka answered honestly that he went out with a beautiful editor yesterday to see the sales of his own published novels.

The result is... no one believes it.

Why else would everyone like to tell lies these days?

Mainly because few people believe the truth!

······

Different from Karasuno, Qingcheng's golden week training is not mainly about playing games, because Qingcheng no longer lacks competition experience. During this golden week, Qingcheng's main training purpose is to speed up the training of first-year newcomers and

The break-in of third-year players.

In the previous match against Shiratorizawa, Aoki made a lot of mistakes.

The main reason is that the newly added first-year and third-year students have had too little time to work together, resulting in the two parties not being able to cooperate tacitly and display their full strength.

But there is one exception.

Needless to say.

Naturally, it’s Asuka Akashi again.

There is still no change in the usual training. However, during the training period, every day after other people's training is over, Irimata Nobuteru will arrange a 2v2 match between Akashi Asuka and Iwaizumi Kazu.

The teammates of the two of them would change every time they cooperated, but their main attacking positions never changed.

This arrangement allowed some quick-thinking team members to discover the anomaly immediately.

But no one said much.

Including Iwaizumi himself.

This kind of duel lasted until the last day of Golden Week. Before going on the field that day, Nobuteru Irihata specifically stopped Iwaizumi and said, "Iwaizumi, you should also understand that today's round may be your last chance.

.”

Iwaizumi looked calmly and nodded: "Ah! I understand!"

Then he turned around and came on stage.

Oikawa Toru naturally followed Iwaizumi, seemingly planning to become his teammate for this game. However, before he could enter the court, Irihata Nobuteru directly stopped him: "Oikawa, come down, there is no one for this game today.

Your chance to play."

Oikawa Tooru: "Σ(Д;)!!!"

Oikawa Toru was startled and turned around to say something. However, before he could speak, Irihata Nobuteru ignored him and turned to Yagumo Hide: "Yazuma, you will be Iwaizumi's teammate in this game."

"Yes, coach!"

Yatomo, who was drinking water, was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized and walked onto the court.

Unknowingly.

All the main players in Qingcheng gathered around to watch. After the duel between the two in the past few days, everyone almost understood the coach's plan.

However, no one said anything about it. Even though Oikawa Toru made some sneaky moves a few times, he never openly refuted Irihata's decision.

Because from a perceptual point of view, the third-year main players naturally hope that Iwaizumi will still be the "ace".

But they also know that if the team wants to go further, some changes have to be made.

Especially through the duel in the past few days, they have clearly seen the gap between Akashi Asuka and Iwaizumi Ichi.

Akashi Asuka came on the stage, moved his wrist a few times, and said calmly: "I won't show mercy, Iwaizumi-senpai."

"Then let me see if you are qualified to lead the team forward, right?"

······

"Then the game officially begins."

“It’s the combination of [Iwaizumi Ichi and Yatomo Hide] vs. [Akashi Asuka and Mikata Ryuhei], and Akashi’s team takes the lead in serving.”

Beep!

When the referee's whistle sounded, Akashi Asuka took the ball and came outside the baseline.

At this moment, there was silence outside the stadium, but Akashi Asuka's heart was even more peaceful.

to be honest.

Although Akashi Asuka also knew that with his own strength, he would one day become the team's 'ace', but even he did not expect that this day would come so quickly.

But since the opportunity has come, there is no reason for him to give up.

In a nearly deformed corporate system like the island country, it is extremely difficult to 'conquer the superior'. Even if Qingcheng is not so strict in this regard, if Akashi Asuka wants to convince everyone, he must show his absolute strength.

His strength defeated Iwaizumi Kazu.

"Huh~~"

"I'm sorry, Iwaizumi-senpai, but this is the only thing I can't back down from."

Mikata Ryuhei, who was in front, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. He seemed to sense something. He turned his head slightly and glanced at Akashi Asuka behind him. It was this glance that made him face to face with Akashi Asuka's pupils as calm and deep as dead water.

Suddenly Long Ping's eyelids twitched three times.

"It feels like...this guy won't be in good condition at this time, right?"

Sanxia Longping had a vague premonition in his heart. After the corner of his mouth twitched a few times, he finally chose to hold his head and hide away from the side.

"Um?"

Opposite me, Iwaizumi Kazuo and Yatomo Hide couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Mitikata Ryuhei's actions.

Although they are now accustomed to covering the back of their heads and moving out of the way when Asuka Akashi serves, the reaction of Ryuhei Mikai today was not too much.

It’s just a game between two people, and you’re already almost out of the stadium!

The two of them were a little confused.

However, in the next second, a ball suddenly hit the floor behind the two of them, and then the sound of hitting the ball seemed to follow. In an instant, Iwaizumi Kazuo and Yato Hide's pupils shrank sharply.
