Event 28: Natural Talent

"Do you regret your bet?" Shimizu asked when he finished listening to Haruta's story but he could only smile at the question.

"I would be lying if I said I do not regret it, but I really feel satisfied too" Haruta was honest at the time of replying since he did not know when he could talk about it again in peace.

Yamamoto was the best friend of the original Haruta not the current Haruta, Komuro was a carefree young man, if Haruta told him it was likely that Rei and Hisashi knew by the end of the same day, Takagi was the genius of the salon and would not understand, finally there was Asuna, the only people that Haruta didn't want her to know, she would know that right now Haruta was doing what destroyed her future.

Haruta and Shimizu stayed talking for several minutes as if they were great friends.

The next day Haruta cooked normally throughout the day, Asuna helped him in the kitchen as usual while at night Haruta and Shimizu stayed to prepare everything for the next day.

Asuna became friends with the beautiful managers of other schools so she was never alone and always had something to do, on the other hand Haruta continued her life as an antisocial and Shimizu had trouble relating to people, something that both seemed weird, since she took the initiative to talk to Haruta.

During the third day an incredible event occurred, while Haruta was passing outside the gym several of the volleyball club players caught him

"Haruta-san!" exclaimed the players surrounding Haruta as they watched him closely.

Haruta was standing after doing an exercise routine, on his neck was a towel that was used to dry the sweat of his body.

"We need your help Haruta-san" asked the silver-haired player of the first day with his hands together as if he were praying "Today we were able to make teams freely and a player is missing to complete our team"

"I don't play volleyball," Haruta replied coldly as he looked at them as if they were insects.

"Come on boy, just hit the ball on the net and keep it from falling on your side" a tall young man with black hair interrupted the conversation and put his hand on Haruta's shoulder.

"Sigh ..." Haruta sighed scratching the back of her hair in annoyance "I know I will regret it after this decision .... well, tell me what to do"

The game was held inside one of the specialized gyms for practice games, the spectators were up on the court in runners on the second floor.

After accepting Haruta was placed in the place indicated by the other members of the team, all were in formation on the side of the field.

"You can Haruta!" a female shout echoed throughout the gym reaching the ears of all players

"Wow, the new guy already has a fan and has only been here for a minute," said the black-haired young man who interrupted the conversation before.

'That was unnecessary Asuna' said Haruta in his mind

"Well, here .... let's go!" exclaimed a young high of the opposing team sending the ball at full speed to the location of Haruta.

As if Haruta's teammates were all connected, they moved with speed. "Well, they try to score using Haruta," said the young man with silver hair but contrary to what they expected, Haruta moved quickly and touched the ball leaving him at a perfect angle to make a auction.

The Allied auction rang the field and made the first point of the duel in favor of the Haruta team "Well, I think Haruta is better than we expected," said the young man with happy black hair.

With the previous point the game became lively and Haruta's quick movements stood out among everyone's.

"It seems you had a golden egg in your school," said the old coach, looking at coach Nakai from karasuno who was surprised.

Since he started playing in the game until now twenty minutes had passed although Haruta's first touch was not elegant, he had now adapted to volleyball and could even make high-speed kicks.

"He said he had never played volleyball before" Nakai said excusing himself

"And he was telling the truth, but his ability to learn is the same as that of a monster, only a few minutes passed but he already looks like a veteran" the old coach could only close his eyes looking at Haruta as if it were a threat to himself same 'now I'm much more curious about this child'

All players were drenched in sweat but none wanted to give in, everyone's competitive spirit could be noticed.

The serve corresponded to the opposing team, where the high starting player prepared to perform a high-speed kick, just when he was ready to jump one of his patinal feet and lost his balance by hitting the ball at full speed but without a fixed direction.

Haruta was the first to realize the direction of the ball, he was heading to where Asuna was.

A few movements were necessary when Haruta was in front of Asuna catching the ball in his hands.

"Eh? Haruta?" Asuna asked looking at Haruta in front of her who was holding the ball in the palm of her hand "How did you get here?"

Everyone present had their mouths open, Haruta had moved at incredible speed, not only intercepted the ball but also reached the second floor of the gym in the blink of an eye.

What nobody knew was that Haruta used the title 'Save the damsel' and activated the 'Electric impulse' ability causing Haruta's statistics to skyrocket.
