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?

Training Camp (II)

The next day started basically the same. They woke up pretty early, doing some warming-up before starting running even when the sky was still dark outside. It was just a low-intensity running to prepare their body for such a long day. After that, they enjoyed breakfast together in the campus's canteen while relaxing a little, talking and laughing about everything. Then, they would be given free time for about half an hour to do anything they liked, either exploring the campus or just lying on the bed lazily. And when the time was over, that was when the torture started again.

Just like his promise, Akira didn't hold back. He added more sets for the interval running, letting all the players feel that they were still not good enough. If yesterday, they all could finish the training in full thirty minutes, this time, only Hirano was able to do that. Everyone lay on the ground quickly just in twenty minutes after the training started, showing how exhausted they were.
