Ukai's grandson and preperation for the match
[Third Person Pov]
"mhhh, are you by any chance related to the coach Ukai of Karasuno mr.?"Rei asked the angry shop owner
"What if I am brat?What are you gonna do about or with(the information) it?"Ukai asked
"Mhhh I won't do anything but..."before Rei could finish his sentence Ukai was suddenly assaulted by a little human tangerine
"Woahhhh,so your the grandson of THE UKAI,do you know the little giant? Have you ever see him play? How was he? Great no? I want to become the next little giant."
Ukai was completely overwhelmed with Hinatas sudden barage of questions and stamtement. When the rest of the team realised who he was they also rapidly asked him questions and so on.
Rei meanwhile just laughed in the background.'hehe now it will be easier for Takeda to convince him later on'thought Rei
What he didn't know was that through this action Ukai got so pissed with the volleyball club that he nearly ruined Takeda's future plans to convice him.But that's a story for another time.

On monday,the day before the match, Daichi showed the rest of the team the starting line up for the practice match against Seijou.
Positions
Shoyo: MB (middle blocker)
Tsukishima: MB (middle blocker)
Daichi: WS (opposite )
Tanaka: WS( Wing spiker)
Rei: WS/OH (Wing Spiker/Outside Hitter)
Kageyama: S (setter)
{A/N: MB:On defense, the Middle Blocker position is the player at the net in the middle of the court between the two outside blockers. The middle blocker strives to be involved in blocking the opponent's hitters wherever they may be on the court. On offense, the middle blocker will usually hit quick sets or serve as a decoy to confuse the opponent's blockers if the pass is good enough.
OH: An outside hitter is the player who hits and blocks on the front left side of the court. This player is also known as a left side hitter. On offense, this person is usually one of the main passers and a go-to hitter. The outside hitter gets lots of swings at the ball not only because he/she is a solid hitter, but because the outside is where the ball goes most often when the pass is not perfect. The high outside set is the easiest and safest choice when the pass is off the net and other options are unavailable.
WS (opposite):The opposite position gets its name because this player is placed opposite of the setter in the rotation. The opposite plays on the right side in the front and back row. Because of the location on the court, the opposite may be responsible for some setting when the setter is unavailable.
WS:Wing spikers are the players who carry the serve receive responsibility along with the libero. They most often attacks the balls which setter sets to the antenna to the left side of the court, depending on what type of spiker he/she is.
S:The setter is the backbone of the offense and makes the decisions about who gets the ball when. He/She touches the ball on the second contact and delivers it to his/her hitters. He/She needs to be able to take in a lot of information at once and to make good decisions in a split second. Consistency here is key.
for all those who like me only got an addiction to volleyball after Haikyuu or maybe only know a bit through Haikyuu and never bothered to research a bit or watched actuall volleyball}
Kageyama looked at the positions then at Shoyo and said " listen Hinata, you are our greates bait!"
"WOW I AM THE GREATES... bait?? sounds a bit pathetic if you ask me.What does that even mean?"
"Your job is to attract the attention of the other blockers by scoring as much points with the quick as you can"stated Kageyama
"heeh what about Nii-san he can do that to?!"said Shoyo while pointing at a bit bored Rei
"Although Rei could probably do our monster quick to he is more suited as our current ACE,not because of the position but because of his skill set,that's why I think calling him an ACE is suitable. I mean his spiking is nigh unblockable while you can sometimes probaly get blocked by the salt fre- I mean Tsukishima... and his game IQ far surpasses yours *mumbles* well not only his game IQ"Kageyama said
"what was that last point I couldn't clearly hear you" said Shoyo
"That's not important.Anywasy my point is by you being the grates bait you could embarass such tall idiots like Tsukishima by them being way more wary of you this also helps clearing space for Rei etc. I mean it must feel satisfying seing them jump in front of you while the ball goes in the other direction, you make the look like idiots"exclaime Kageyama proudly
Shoyo suddenly got extremly hyped and shouted "YEAHHH!!! I'M THE GREATES BAIT!!!"

While Daichi was walking through the hallways he suddenly heard the voice of a girl from behind
"Sawamura!" the girl said as she tapped him on the shoulder
"oh, Michimiya! What can I do for you?"
"I heard you guys got a practice match against Seijou tomorrow,I'm quite suprised they agreed and I am here to wish you luck"
"Oh thank you Michimiya and yes Takeda-sensei worked very hard for us to get this match"
"aren't you a bit affraid of them, I mean they are a top 4 school in the prefecture.Wouldn't you guys get completely reckt by them?"She asked with concern
"No,absolutely not we got some scarry talented 1st years that will probably cause Seijou a headache, one of them is even the whole time talking about crushing the great King and the elites and something like this. But he has the right he is the most talented player I have ever seen play.I feel with him and the other two Karasuno can reach whole new heights."
"ahh is that so, then again I wish you luck, I must go now see ya"
"see ya"He said to the leaving girl
"I must say senpai you got a pretty nice girl yourselfe there, and what was that about me being the most talented player you have ever seen mhh?" Rei,who came out of nowhere, asked with a smug grin
"Rei, has anyone ever told you that you are an smug bastard who gets extremely on the nerves of other people"
"Why yes of course,you certainly aren't the first and will definetly not be the last Swamura-senpai"

Kageyama couldn't sleep the night before the game he had the whole time only one thing, no two things on his mind
the first being none other than his former senpai Oikawa Tooru who he thinks is the most complete setter he ever saw.
The other thing was that he wanted to show his ex-teammates that he isn't the egocentric and arrogant king anymore.
