2011. That was when earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, changing thousands of lives. 

And Kobayashi Yuki is just one of them.

A month ago, he was just a normal boy, graduating from a small middle school in Fukushima and was excited to go to the high school. However, the disaster changed his life. He lost both parents, not because they died, but because they were still missing until now. 

He lost his home. He lost his friends. He lost his school. He lost everything.

Having no choice, he moved to Tokyo, to a small, new orphanage to accommodate victims of the disaster who didn't have any home or wanted to change their lives in the biggest city in Japan. In his mind, all he wanted to do was enter a normal high school, do a part-time job, make some money to help the orphanage, and maybe if he were lucky enough he could be admitted into a good university with a scholarship.

However, one challenge from the volleyball team and one half-Italian blonde boy turned everything upside down. Now, he was trapped inside the crazy team, being dragged into the mess.

Inter-High.

National Tournament.

Volleyball.

Those three words kept spinning around his life as he entered a crazy high school life. Can he strive in the place where he was unfamiliar with? Would he be a good volleyball player? And what does the future hold for him?

The Birth of A Volleyball Legend

Miura furrowed his brows once again. He had lost count of how many times he did that during this set, just showing that the game didn't go in the direction he wanted. And no, it wasn't because of Ezaki's situation, but also for Tsunemori's resilience. Their opponent was able to survive no matter how hard they kept attacking, even to the point that they looked like they were about to fall on the spot. The four-point lead they had earlier even shortened to only one this time, and the frustration shown by his players was real.

Once again, Miura cursed his luck to meet such a troublesome opponent in the first round.

'Why in the hell do they have to be in the first round too? With this kind of stubbornness, they should be able to reach a good position last year and at least be placed automatically in the second round right now.'

However, he wasn't worried at all, especially considering what he heard from the opponent's bench side.

The End (I)
