Through out the years me and Nishinoya travelled all over the city and played in as many tournaments as we could. Our skills were increasing at a noticeable rate, and we were ready for middle school.
We've also decide what positions we will play. I wanted to be a setter, because I love being the playmaker, and Nishinoya will be the libera which I had already guessed from the show. Still with me being added into the story, it worries me who's character will deviate from the story. I also have no idea where I will go to high school because the setters are the hearts of the team and it would feel different than what I would want.
'Well, I guess these are thoughts for later.' I sigh to myself.
I have also discovered that I have an ability, but I don't know if it's given to me from some god or if I got it through training. I was on the court with Nishinoya and we were losing the game.
[Flashback 2 years ago...]
"Damn it," I muttered trying to catch my breath.
Me and Nishinoya were in the finals of a youth tournament. The score was 24 to 21 and it was the last set. It all came down to this if the other team scored we lose. It was our serve and we were all exhausted. We somehow took the first set, but our stamina couldn't keep up with them.
I catch my breath it between serves and look around. 'The others aren't nearly as fit as me and Noya.' Which was understandable we have been training since young but it looks like we might lose if nothing is done. 'I have to try to cover them as much as possible and make the best sets so they expend the least amount of energy.'
With that thought in mind I watch as we serve to the other team they receive it and get ready to make a play. As I try to think of all the options he could take something happens. I suddenly could see everything on the courtroom a different perspective. I saw that wing spiked was early and his middle blocker will be his most probable target. As soon as the thought is finished , I rush over to the right and jump. The ball smacks into my hand and falls to their side making the score 24 to 23.
Everyone goes wild and Noya comes to say something but notices my face. I was standing there with a huge grin and staring at my hands.
"You okay Kai?" Noya asked.
I nod and look at the other team,"I think I just figured out how to win this game."
Noya looked surprised but didn't ask. We already have trust between us so he knew I wasn't lying.
"Okay let me know what you need," he said. I nod and get ready for the next play.
On the other side of the court somebody was looking at me with great interest.
"He wasn't even near that ball and was out of position why did he do that," the other teams coach wondered. "It's like he knew what would happen before the setter moved, it couldn't have just been a read block."
Back to our main character, we serve the ball and they received and are getting ready to attack. Just as I go and block another spike, I notice that the setter moved at a weird way and shouted," Noya dump!"
Nishinoya hears me and immediately moves and gets the setter dump up. The setters eyes went wide at me as I get ready to attack. I look with my new power and can see my middle blocker and wing spiked are in position. My wing spiked is my ace so he is more heavily guarded I noticed. My middle blocker would be open on the outside because everyone is expecting a set to the ace. When people expect something there bodies unconsciously shifts towards it. There's only one person on the wing spiker, he has the better probability of scoring. So I send it to him and he smacks it down right passed the defenders arms. We tied it up for deuce.
"Nice kill!" We all screamed.
Everyone was so happy we tied it up. Only I kept my rational side and stayed calm. The game continued and we scored another point making it 25 to 24. It was my serve and I send it over. Everyone gets ready and the setter sends it to his ace I read it but I'm a half-second short and it tips my hands
"One touch!" I yelled.
They get the ball and send it back to me. I watch the other team and everyone is ready for a set to the spikers. I have a cheeky thought and do a setter dump. It was unexpected and no one could react. The ball falls and the whistle blows. Everyone is looking at me and I just smiled. My team cheers and Noya is so excited he's jumping up and down.
