Trainings camp part 3

Meis POV

„Say, what do you think of them?"

One day after Anne had joined us, she already made some notes.

„From the boys? W-well, I've already talked about Timo yesterday, so let's begin with Niki. His jumps and spikes are really good and he shows a lot of potential with his blocks, but his serves, despite he's able to launch great jump-serves sometimes, are a double edged sword. Either he wrecks a hell of points or he hits the net or does an home run. Next the captain, Simon. Despite he's not as strong as Niki, he's able to control his spikes better than him. He's good at both spiking and receiving, but I don't see him as a blocker or setter. Next one is Felix. He's lacking in both size and jumping power, but his receives are on point. In fact, he's the best receiver we've got. Now, about David, I have to say that although he doesn't seem interested in Volleyball, he's always paying attention and because of his size and power, he's probably even better in blocking than Niki. And last, Jack. He's one of the best and most adaptable setters I've ever seen. The fact is, Timo needs a high set which gives him enough time to do his approach, but which is also in his area to play his best. And just after setting a few times for someone, he already knows which set fits the player best. His blocking and spiking is also quite good, while he's just not made for receiving. T-that's it."

For a few seconds I was just shocked, but I instantly began to laugh.

„That's it? Girl, you're here for one day now and you already observed their strengths and weaknesses! You're the real deal!"

„D-don't say that! That's too much honor!"

„Yes it is!"

Davids POV

We turned around to see who said that. In our door, a blue-haired boy, who was about at my size, was standing.

„You're always so repulsive positive! Did no one teach you to criticize people?"

Simon walked towards him.

„I'm sorry, can I help you?

„Oh, the brave but weak captain, I see!"

That was enough. I walked towards him, still holding a ball in my hand.

„Hey! I don't know who you are, but we ain't got time for such bullshit! If you wanna play, then ask kindly!"

„Oh, you wanna scare me? Let me tell you something..."

In a blink of an eye, he got the ball out of my hand and pushed it towards my face, which I could avoid by pushing my body backwards. But the shot however was just a fake, which irritated me and caused me to fall onto the ground.

„.....I'm the one scaring you, shitty little birds!"

The amount of pressure he caused was unbelievable. In this moment, we all understood that this guy was able to rip anyone if you let your guard down, enemy or teammate.

„My name is Noah and I'm the ace of the 7th district demons!"

„Y-you placed 5th in the n-national championships!"

„You're right, scared little girl! I'm in another league! Who do you think you are, dreaming about winning the nationals! Up there are powers you can't even imagine! Dreamers!"

Timos POV

„That's true!"

„You see? Even he realized!"

„We are dreamers! But what's the point of living without dreams? Tell me, Demon!"

It was silent for a few seconds. And then, he did something unexpected. He began to laugh. But not evil, more like a real laugh.

„You're right! There's no point of living without dreams! Dreamers will rule the world, goddammit! Maybe not today or tomorrow, but someday they will!"

He pointed at me.

„And the day I beat you will begin this era, my era! I'm looking forward to it, Falcon!"

„This era won't start! We'll beat you, no matter what!"

We looked at each other intensely.

„I have to go now! Bye losers!"

„Wait!"

He turned around. I smiled.

„Didn't you lose something?"

I was holding the ball, which he just stole from David, in my hands.

„You shitty little....! Better be prepared for our match in nationals! And Mei, see ya!"

With this words, he left.

„That was...heavy!"

„That guy! I'm gonna spike his arms off."

„That won't happen!"

We turned to where Mei was standing.

„He's too good!"

„He sounded like you'd know him. Do you?"

„More than I want. He once was my best friend!"
