Ch 10 Set into motion

The ball swooshed back to Legume. Now in all of Legume's life, he had never seen such atrocity and was speechless the ball was coming for him.

Helpless he could only watch the ball smack him in the face. Fortunately for him it went to Carrot who bumped it to their middle blocker Eggnos.

Eggnos was lanky and used his long arms to smash the ball down to score a point for his team.

(AN- I want to get to Daniel's input so let's roll)

**Time Skippu no jutsu**

POV Daniel

After making the teams, the coach came up to me and tried to find out if I was unhappy with his decision. But I wasn't going to give him that chance, I kept a stoic look on my face.

I only told him I would listen to his instructions as long as I got to play.

And there you have it, with the last set on its last legs, I've been on the court since the start of the set, playing as the team's libero.

[AN: I know, I know! But I bid you to patiently follow the story. This is what I would call character development..skills development? yk what I mean. Regardless, if you still don't like it after that, then farewell comrade.]

Haha, I bet you didn't see that coming. I didn't want to go with the cliche tropes so I decided to try out being a libero- you know -'THE GUARDIAN OF THE TEAM'- hehe. I have to say, not trying to come off as arrogant or I, your daddy Peng clan young master. I am pretty good at what I do.

But let's get back into the game.

I'm currently at position 5 ( in the middle of the back court), ready to receive the serve from the opponent team's server.

Bam

I watched the ball come to me, with a hop step, I went into my stance and bent my knees into a crouch. As it approached I stood up, arms outstretched and together using my knees to kill the momentum and pass accurately.

Right into the setter's hand at position 3.. Sigh.. perfection.

He sucked the ball into his hands and sent it to the left, where the opposite was in his approach.

Setting it in the air to his apparent sweet spot. Han did his approach, jumped and performed his spike, the ball flew towards Carrot, Team B's libero, who couldn't receive it, scoring the last point and winning the game for our team.

"Fuu.. all in a day's work" walking to the team huddle,

I yelled "Vongola"

The team responded "Family"

Both teams along with their coaches walked to the opposite ends of the court and walked forward to stop at the net and shook hands. Then we dispersed and some of them went to talk to the other team but personally I wouldn't take that.

Going to sit on the bench, I popped open my Gatorade bottle, only to find one of the scouts from the stands walking towards my direction. Looking around, I came to the conclusion that I was the target , the endpoint, his destination. Anyway I was the only one, he could possibly be looking for.

What can I say? I am that guy. The top G

'So he's coming for me, let's see what he wants' Shifting my position to face the approaching stranger.

"Um, excuse me number 3, I didn't get your name?" Trying to be polite, he put forth his hand in hopes for a handshake, but I wasn't going to give him that pleasure.

"Huh, why do you wanna know? Ever heard of stranger danger" Stepping back warily, panic surfaced on his face

"Yea, I, No wait, your coach let me come talk to you."

"Hmm coach P, well alright what do you want?" I skeptically walked forward and dapped him up.

" I'll introduce myself, my name is Yamamoto Takeshi. I am a team manager and I noticed your skills and wanted to invite you to play for my club." He introduced himself whilst handing me a black with gold stripes card.

"And what and where is this club?" Without looking down at the card, I questioned him further. 'You can never trust these guys'.

"Well it's obviously a volleyball club but the thing is, I'm Japanese and my club is based in Japan as well." He laughed while rubbing the back of his neck.

'This guy.. Does he own a white van with candies in his pocket? Weird, well he must be a new guy' I thought internally but outside I deadpanned.

"So.. what do you want me to do about that?" I asked Holding back the urge to sigh

"If you're interested in coming to Japan to play volleyball, please contact me. My numbers on the card by the way". He said with a lot of stuttering and gestured with his hand at the card I was holding.

"Hmm..very well I'll let you know my decision in the coming days."

"Okay then, I'll be awaiting your response. Farewell no 3."

Nodding, I bade him goodbye. "Adios."

Watching as he walked out of the court, I shook my head and sighed.

'What a loser, hahahaha.

'It seems it is time, hahahaha' My giggles turned into chuckles and as I readied myself to fall into full villain mode cackle. I was abruptly interrupted.

"YOO DANII"

KEUGHH, COUGH COUGH

'Damn it!'

'Almost made me choke on this long di- I mean air… AHEM AHEM...Moving on'.

The newcomer walked over, a face filled with concern but playfulness in his eyes couldn't be hidden

"Hey bro, you alright" He wrapped his arm around my neck

"Get off me maggot" Smacking his arm away, I walked away from him, my back facing him.

"Forgive me your highness" He bowed, with his head lowered slightly

"Mhm that's more like it"

With a snort, I turned around to face him, with my hands behind my back.

I was akin to a cultivator powerhouse, the ancestor of Peng Clan, who had lived through the vicissitudes of life and was nearing the end of his lifespan, preparing to break through to the realm of immortals.
