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?

Yuki's Second Return!

Yuki closed his eyes tightly, patting his knees gently. This would be the second time he returned to the court today, yet he didn't know why it was as if something was different this time. He shook his legs carefully, trying to calm down his nerves. Even though it didn't feel like jelly anymore, he still felt a bit weak, as if he could fall at any random time.

Akira who saw his state furrowed his brows, then approached him. "Is there anything wrong?" The coach asked.

"No, nothing." Yuki shook his head quickly.

Akira pondered for a moment, then after seeing his shaking legs, he realized, "Are you nervous?"

'Nervous?' Yuki blinked a few times, processing the question. 'Yeah, maybe Akira-sensei is right. I am indeed nervous right now.' He nodded unknowingly.

Akira hummed lightly, trying to understand his mood. After spending a moment in silence, he finally gave up and asked, "Care to explain why?"
