The Birth of A Volleyball Legend

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?

Desperation

As the game went by, Tsunemori's situation kept getting worse. Even though there was a moment when their morale spiked up, it was just a momentary boost from the crowd's cheers. But when they allowed the opponent to score one or two more points, the mood went back to rock bottom.

Yuki growled lowly, showing frustration for the first time today. He also saw Riku had a similar expression, knowing his blonde friend also felt the same.

Honestly, if this situation was because they were outclassed by the opponent, even though he would be frustrated, Yuki would be able to accept the result. After all, that would only mean they were still far below Konan's level. Unfortunately, it wasn't the case this time. The last few points they suffered were all because of the basic mistakes Tsunemori players made that shouldn't happen in a high-stakes game like this.
