"Give it all we've got!" everyone shouts in agreement.

Everyone walks confidently back onto the court. Carlos takes a deep breath as Kurai rests his hand on Carlos's shoulder. Carlos looks up at him as Kurai confidently nods, turning and walking onto the court. Carlos exhales and focuses. Reentering the state of flow. 'Kurai is betting on me' Carlos leans forwards, placing his hands on his knees, ready to receive Eric's serve to start the set.

His arms burnt red in bruises and steamed slightly. As his eyes widened. Kurai smirks. 'He's had his moment, he's hooked on volleyball!' Carlos's eyes glow with excitement.

"Chance ball!" The ball floats over the net after the receive. Eric stepped back and received the ball into the air. The wing spiker jumped in front of the net. The ball floating as he swings his shoulder and whole arm into the ball. Suddenly landing behind him. Liam's eyes glow. 'You won't get past us like that!' OPU 1-2 MCTC.

"Hey, apparently, Outer Pentecostal University has come back stronger than last year!" another player gulps his water and exhales.

"That so? Didn't we beat them in the first round last year?" The first player nods.
