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?

After landing on the floor, Lucas just spread his arms widely, mimicking the Christ the Redeemer statue in his hometown. By the smile spread on his face, it was clear that he enjoyed every second of this, getting basked under praises like he was some sort of messiah. He didn't even feel the weight of his teammates who jumped onto him, just standing still in the middle of the limelight.

"Damn, he is so badass." Ogawa couldn't help but praise the Brazilian boy for his flair celebration. "I really want to try something like that in the future."

"Well, if you really want to do something so big like that, make sure you can do half of what he just did earlier, okay?" Akira smiled innocently, which also silenced Ogawa and all the players who had a similar thought.
