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?

Game Over (I)

Konan's coach nodded in a satisfied manner when he saw the game was back on track again. This was the reason why he put Genzo on the court. It wasn't to stabilize the game's tempo since Sawada was definitely better in that particular aspect. No, what he wanted from Genzo was to stabilize the team's mentality.

He knew that even though the team seemed perfect from the outsider's perspective, it still had some flaws. They tended to fall into their bad habits as the game progressed. Matsumoto would be far more aggressive than necessary, Lucas would start to get lazy, Akihiro became more reckless, and Shimada sometimes lost his concentration in the middle of the game. But once Genzo entered the court, those bad habits disappeared immediately, and once they behaved more properly, the better they would play.
