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?

Second Set Starts! (II)

"Oh! Rebound! Nice thinking, Koji!"

Akihiro scowled, feeling annoyed when he realized he didn't block the ball perfectly. Well, he couldn't help it, though. Even the best blocker in the world wouldn't be able to stop the opponent's spike all the time, let alone him. So, the boy decided to move on and got ready for the next attack coming from Tsunemori High.

'Let's see where the ball would go… Ah, he is grinning! That means – !'

*BAM!*

Akihiro hadn't even finished the monologue inside his thought when the ball had already flown past his ear, knocking his eardrum gently before all the sound registered through his brain was the ball hitting the floor. For a moment, he froze on the spot, only one word came out of his mouth.

"Eh?"

"OH! Nice spike!"

"Damn, that is so fast! They hadn't done any quick this good in the first set!"

"Don't tell me they still have something on their sleeves?!"
