Third Person's Point of View

"Good morning guys!" The maroon haired girl from yesterday greeted upon seeing the volleyball boys enter the gymnasium.

"Good morning... uhmm..." Sugawara greeted back hesitantly. He doesn't know the girl's name which is why he doesn't know whether to greet back or not.

"Oh, I'm Yuuki Himitsu!" The girl cheerfully introduced upon coming to a realization that she was someone the team doesn't know of.

"You guys are early!" Greeted Daichi as he eyed the other girls on the stadium walking to the backstage to grabbed some equipment.

"Well, we think we'd set up some barrier." Makino who popped out from behind Himitsu stated with a small smile. "Senri-senpai wants to avoid the ball going our direction and at the same time us putting a distraction to your area."

"That's very considerate of you guys." Suga smiled a bit touched by the girl's attempts.

"A little bit on the right!" The sudden shouting coming from Megumi caught the boys' attention making  them turn their attention from the said girl which to their surprise was instructing another girl with purple lower neck length curly hair that was stading on a ladder holding a hammer and a nail.

"Out of rush yesterday, we all didn't get to introduce ourselves properly to you guys." Himitsu eyes followed where the boys are watching. "I'm really sorry about that."

The girl switched her gaze back to the boys in front of her putting a hand on the back of her head letting out a sheepish grin.

"Well, yesterday was really a harsh one." Daichi commented as his gaze fall on the two girls coming out of the backstage carrying a set of gym equipment which us often used when measuring the jumps. They placed the item right below the nail that the girl from earlier had already pulnged in in both the upper sides of the gym.

"Bring out the net!" A third year who played the drums yesterday shouted to some other girls which was the first years from yesterday.

The two hurriedly rushed off to grab the net that was often used as a barrier for the balls when two separating clubs join into one gym.

"We're all good!"

"Then find Senri and Akari!" Himitsu's eyes scan the gymnasium looking for their certain friend who, she immediately spotted the two at the corner of the room spoiling the only boy in their relative who is laughing with them.

"Oy! You two!" Himitsu called out waving her arms out which immediately caught the two Hinata's attention immediately approaching her and greeting the volleyball boys a cheerful good morning.

"Is the height of the Tobiako enough for you two to reach the nail up there?" Megumi, who also went to the two questionned as she gestures to the jumping blocks just a meter or two away from the location of the nail.

Senri and Akari scan the height of blocks, its height of 5 which is somehow enough but Senri figured that they might lack the time they need to shoot one of the net holes to the hooked like nails.

"Can we make the blocks 9?" Senri requested which was immediately abided by two of the boys from yesterday which one of them is the student council president himself Akane Riku.

"We forgot to introduce ourselves yesterday." Senri stated diverting her gaze to the volleyball boys in front of her. "I'm Hinata Senri. Nice to meet you and thank you for taking care of my cousin Shoyo."

"I'm Hinata Akari. I'm also thankful for the consent you gave us to share the gymnasium."

The two curtly bowed which caused the boys to hastily bow their heads as well in greetings.

"We're all set here!" Riku called out causing the two to shift their attention back to the tobiako whose now reaching the heights of nine. The two first years holding each side of the net approached the two Hinata's passing them the net which the two gripped tightly upon.

" Let's just do this once." Akari stated causing Senri to nod her head in agreement.

"Ready..." The the two stated simultaneously bending their right knee which was behind their left knee. "Go!"

With the same level of speed the two rushed off synchronously stopping in  front of the tobiako bending both their knees in a military stunt like jump lifting themselves up to the gymnasiums floor and landing at the top of the stacks and with no time wasted, another simultaneous leap came from the two.

With knees bend their lower legs behind and a hand creating a spiking stance, the two flew.

"This never gets old." Shoyo who was following the movements of his sisters that managed to shoot a hole from the net and hit its lock with a loud click echoing in the gymnasium.

"So this is by blood huh..." Sugawara trailed off his gaze turning from the two Hinata whose now gracefully standing on the ground to their little middle blocker. "Their all monsters."

His comment created a shot of laughter from Himitsu who pat his shoulder in approval.

"Monsters. I like that!" The girl stated in between laughs setting out to leave to aid the first and second years from their club president leaving the poor silver haired man in all shades of red.

————

"I am the club president of the Music Club. Ryuuga Megumi." Megumi introduced now standing in front of the volleyball boys. "In behalf of my club I'd like to say my most heartfelt gratitude. We actually don't want to practice on the rooftop."

"I'm Sawamura Daichi Captain of the boys volleyball team." The two shook their hands in process. "We hope to get along with you guys."

"This is my fellow third years here in the team. Sugawara Koushi and Azumane Asahi." As Daichi gestures the two smiled and bowed at the members of the Music club. "Feel free to approach them for any sort of assistance in the future. He then gestures to Kiyoko who was standing just right beside them.

Megumi gave them a nod and gestures her friends whose standing right beside her." This is the third years of our team."

"I'm Yuuki Himitsu! Nice to meet you once again!" The girl once again introduced her enthusiasm from earlier didn't falter.

"I'm Hinata Akari. I hope we all get along." The Orange haired girl beside Himitsu stated with a gentle smile as if she didn't just jumped the top of the gym from earlier.

"We hope so as well." The volleyball boys bowed staring at the girl's smiling face that caused them to immediately look down at their feet.

"I'm Akatsuki Shirabe."A girl shorter than Hinata standing beside Akari said." I'm a third year don't get so surprised about it." She added glaring at the surprised members of the volleyball team that looked away upon seeing her glare.

"W-well this is our second years." Daichi sheepishly continued. "This is Ennoshita Chikara."

As he motions the guy, Ennoshita immediately gave a curt bow. Listening as Daichi continues. "This is Kinnoshita Hisashi and Narita Kazuhito."

And Daichi stopped at the two second years beside Narita whose face immediately made him want to punch the two.

"What are you two doing?!" He quietly questioned as he eyed the posing Yuu and Tanaka who managed to make a sparkly aura around them.

"Just continue Daichi-san!" Noya whispered back. His response only made the captain sighed having no choice but to continue.

"These two are Nishinoya Yuu and Tanaka Ryuunosuke."

"Nice to meet you." The girl bowed seemingly unbothered by the pose coming from the two.

"This is our second years." Megumi continued flatly motioning her second year friends.

"Hinata Senri. Nice to meet you." Senri smiled doing a curt bow.

"I'm Akane Rizumu. Nice to meet you." Beside her, a girl with brunette hip length hair bowed her pink orbs scanning the boys in front of her. "Riku is my older brother." She added gesturing to the student council president that was talking to another boy.

"I'm Mamoru Chikara. Nice to meet you." The curly mid back violet haired girl from earlier introduced.

Ennoshita's eyes widen in shock as the members of the volleyball team followed his reaction immediately turning to gaze at the guy in confusion.

"We had the same name." He trailed off watching as the girl's grin in front of him widen.

"Nice to meet you twiny!" The girl winked leaving him in a trance, all shades of red as his team watch the exchange of words.

"I'm Lyrica Hachuko." The girl beside Chikara stated, catching the attention of the boys from the volleyball team. The accent lacing from her way of speaking along with her complexion was enough for them to come in conclusion of her being a half.

"You're the top 1 in the Karasuno beauties..." Yamaguchi silently trailed off scanning the blonde girl whose smiling face seemed to have created a series of brightness.

She did not response and continued to smile gently, her gaze shifting from Daichi to Megumi.

"Whose next?" Sheepishly, she asked.

"Ah, right." Daichi who seemed to have caught in a trance stated upon recovery. "This is our first years."

Motioning over to four people from the team he started. "Kageyama Tobio, Hinata Shoyo, Tsukishima Kei and Yamaguchi Tadashi."

"This is also our managers. Shimizu Kiyoko, a third year and Yachi Hitoka, A first year." He added approaching the two girls at the corner.

"This is our first years. Makino Uta, Tenma Tsubasa and Oikawa Seirei." Megumi followed in suit pointing one after another. "And our boy members. Akane Riku and Shimizu Kai."

"Nice to meet you." Now after all was introduced, the music club bowed in respect.

"Us as well. Nice to meet you." Replied the Volleyball club upon bowing.

"Well what do you know." Ukai stated while gazing at the girls and their boys. "This might come in handy."

"I know." Takeda respond following the gaze of the coach. "Very handy."

The two snickered in the background watching as two clubs converse with one another clearly forgetting about morning practice.
