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

It was the first day of summer break, which also coincided with the first day of the training camp held by Konan High. Since the location was close to Riku's house, they promised to meet each other directly at Konan High. However, Riku was surprised to see Yuki's dark aura when his friend arrived.

"What are you sulking about? Still salty about the results of our Japanese exam?" Riku asked teasingly.

Yuki simply threw Riku a stinky glare while making a rude gesture that made Riku chuckle. Yes, after the midterm exams, there was only one thing that still made Yuki feel depressed: the result of his Japanese exam.

Yuki admitted that Japanese was not his strong point. He didn't have a problem reading novels, but he always struggled when asked to analyze stories thoroughly and guess the author's intentions in various parts. That's why, when he received a score of 79 out of 100, though it was his worst grade, he was still fairly satisfied with the result.
