Chapter 9 : We Can't Win Against Him!

*Phweet*

From the benches of Aoba Johsai team their coach calls for their first time-out in Second set

Scores Board Karasuno And Aoba Johsai 18-20

-------------------------------------------------------

"Hah..., These guys sure are tricky first off that freak duo's quick attack and that Number 6 (Izumi) got his serve In his first try not to mention that he wasn't ready for that"

Kendaichi who let his frustration out as soon as he reaches towards the benches

Because Kendaichi wasn't part of the Volleyball club as first year he wasn't aware of Izumi

"You can't get like that now Kendaichi, Oikawa's serve Is strong but It isn't Impossible to receive"

'Even though It's really Impressive to receive a serve like that at first try, their captain managed to do It but not at first It took him lot of time to adapt to It but this kid--'

The Head Coach of Aoba Johsai said while knowing how Impressive It was, he didn't wanted to discourage his team

"They scored three points In a row, they are catching up fast"

Kendaichi didn't like this situation at all, First kageyama not yelling and being an Egoistical bastard got him annoyed But losing to him Is not something which he wanted

"Oikawa, What do you think about this current situation"

Head coach of Aoba Johsai spoke as he trusted him to bring his team's Morale back to top and think of winning, Surely he can admit that Oikawa can turn so many bad situations to his and his team's advantage, He could also admit that Oikawa Is the best Captain he has come across

That's how much he trusted him

"Since Izumi has joined the match, This match Is most likely out of our hand"

Oikawa said bluntly with calm expression

'And there goes my trust'

Head Coach couldn't help but feel that way

"Wh-what are you saying Oikawa-san!"

At that moment all Second Year's and First Year's turned towards their captain as they never expected those words to come out of him

Iwaizumi who also had a calm face, no actually he had a hint of smile at this

"Well he Is that amazing Afterall"

Iwaizumi said to make all of his Kouhai's to know that they are not done talking

"Oikawa, Iwaizumi I don't know how you know him but I didn't call for this time-out so you can brag about someone else and scare us more"

The junior coach of Aoba Johsai said as he didn't want to waste much time on this chat before the time run's out

Even so everyone In Aoba Johsai's team were curious to know about It

"He is right, If you have some strategies then now Is the time"

The head coach said as he also shared the thoughts of junior coach

"Oh-, No I don't he just have to play the way we have been up till now"

Oikawa again said It bluntly as If this Is something obvious

"But you said we cannot win against him, so are we just playing to-"

Kendaichi who didn't like the his captain making calls felt confused

"No, It's true when I said we can't win against him, But. . . We might have a chance to win against him right now"

Oikawa said after batting an towards Izumi

As all Aoba Johsai Team seem to be feeling relief that their captain still got some plan, Although Iwaizumi was taken back this revelation as he didn't think that there would be any way to defeat Karasuno for them

"Don't get your hopes up, I said we might, the thing Is I know that bastard pretty well and also that he didn't play Volleyball for years, even though he was a great back when he used to play now he Is might be out of practice, also he Isn't the type of guy who would take risk If there Is not much hope, so we should bet on that" 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Aoba Johsai's Timeout ended they started getting back on the court same goes for Karasuno as they got In their position 

This time It's Karasuno's turn to serve 

Game went on with It as Kageyama's Serve didn't disappoint them same was for Hinata and Izumi who put much change In the game with One's Offense and the other one's defence

Even though Aoba Johsai was getting blocked and service aced some time they were also as Oikawa made 2 Service ace and Iwaizumi who scored 1 point with a spike

Scores Board Karasuno And Aoba Johsai 23-23

With the way game played out Karasuno closed the gap and caught up to Aoba Johsai

Now Aoba Johsai needed 2 points to win this Set while If they loses this set they lose the match as they have lost the first set 

After making three Service ace It was again his turn to serve, he stopped challenging Izumi even though he hated to give up he knew It Is the practical thing to do so he started targeting those who suck at receiving or corner angles

One thing Karasuno Understood that Oikawa Is no joke and they didn't get how they survived this long against him

Daichi and Izumi were the only ones who could receive his serves up till now In this match

Oikawa served It which was meant for Tsukishima but Daichi dived to Infront of him to get It went towards the middle where Izumi was standing near the net he Jumped and got his both hands upwards which looked like he was about to set

'Wh-What?'

Everyone on the court were were dumbfounded by this, Especially player's from Karasuno as they never practiced anything like switching setters 

The one's who weren't shocked were Kageyama, Oikawa and Iwaizumi as they know how good of a setter Izumi Is

Even though surprised Tanaka quickly adapted to It and got ready to spike which was followed by Hinata and Kageyama

Right now seeing that Izumi had 3 spikers to choose from Aoba Johsai's player's were way to nervous for this

Even though they were nervous, Still they didn't plan on losing this, On that moment Aoba Johsai's every player looked like as If they could kill bear 

Though It was for nothing as Izumi who jumped and made It look like a set didn't even touch the ball

'Huh...?'

The ball which left from Daichi's hand went across the net and dropped near Kendaichi who was too focused to for a spike didn't expect that

Everyone on the court again got surprised as that little devil there, who made It look like a set and used his 3 teammates as decoys and got Aoba Johsai's team on fire just put cold water on them

That play just now got them another point and now Karasuno only needed one point to secure their Victory.
