Volleyball Club Part II

Previous Chapter...

"I'd like to join the volleyball club; may I ask who the coach is?" I inquire. The coach explained,

"Well, I am in charge of the sports club, therefore I am the one who needs to submit the paperwork so that you may be an official volleyball member," and I simply nodded and handed over the form, which was signed by the coach.

"Done, and welcome to the team; my name is..."

Continuation...

"Done, and welcome to the team; my name is Kataoka Tesshin" I nodded as the coach said.

"So, what's your name, child?" Coach Kataoka inquires.

I explained, "My name is Ellen Ford, sir, and I am the niece of Lucas Ford," and he was taken aback.

"Your uncle is Lucas Ford?" Coach Kataoka inquires again, surprised.

"Yes, sir, is there something wrong?" I inquired perplexedly.

"No, it's nothing. Come here and I'll present you to your teammates," Coach Kataoka remarked, to which I nodded and followed.

Several minutes later,

Coach Kataoka walks up to a group of girls and boys, wearing a jersey.

"Okay gentlemen, spread out and have a seat. I have an announcement," Coach Kataoka stated, and they spread out and sat, and once they sat, one of the male member raised it's hand.

"Ask later, child," said Coach Kataoka, and the boy lowered his hands.

"So, everyone, we have a new member," Coach Kataoka began before looking at me and gesturing for me to step forward.

So I went up to the front and introduced myself.

"Hello everyone, my name is Ellen Ford, the niece of Lucas Ford, and I hope we get along," I remarked, as a boy earlier raised his hands.

"Yes, and please identify yourself," Coach Kataoka added, and the boy nodded and stood up.

"Hello Ellen, my name is Mark Kubasaki, and I am the captain of the men's volleyball team," he introduced himself.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," he continued.

"Nice to meet you as well," I said, and he nodded before turning to face Coach Kataoka.

"Excuse me, sir, but what is the announcement you were making?" Mark then sat down after he asked

"Oh, right, I nearly forgot about it, Ellen. Go sit down for now since I have an announcement to make," Coach Kataoka remarked, and I nodded before sitting down.

"So everyone, we have a match against the Haran volleyball team, so we need to practice more, but before we practice, let us test Ms. Ellen's skills," Coach Kataoka explained, and they all looked at me and F*ck, it feels awkward.

"Ms. Ellen, please stand up!" Coach Kataoka urged, and I did.

"Please explain your position," he added.

I explained, "I'm a middle blocker and a spiker," and most of them were taken aback.

So I looked at Coach Kataoka, and he said something to me.

"The majority of them are setters and liberos."

But it makes me wonder how they managed to play without middle blockers and spikers.

"Everyone stand up and move to the side of the bench so we can observe Ellen's abilities," remarked Coach Kataoka.

They all stood up and walked to the side bench after saying "Hai!" (which is a Japanese term that means "yeah" or "okay"), and I approached the coach to ask.

"Coach!" I exclaimed, and coach Kataoka came to a halt in his stride.

"Yes?" he inquires.

"I just have a question," I explained.

"All right, what is it?" Coach Kataoka asked.

"I just want to know how the team plays when it's full of liberos and setters." I inquire.

"Well, others have been trained to be spikers and middle blockers."

"Oh, now I get it," I said.

"Right, Ellen, I nearly forgot to tell you this," Coach Kataoka replied.

"What is it, coach?" I inquire.

"I forgot to tell you that your jersey is in the girls locker room," the coach replied, referring to the fact that I was still dressed in my uniform.

"Where is the locker room, coach?" I inquire, as I am still unfamiliar with this place.

"Don't worry, I'll ask other members to join you," Coach remarked as he called for a member to accompany me.

Several minutes later,

A girl approached us, and the coach introduced her to me as f r/n (female r/n).

Then we head to the locker room, where I change my uniform to a jersey and return to the court since I need to test my skills.

Third-person pov

Okay, Ellen, position! " Coach Kataoka instructed Ellen to position herself and prepare to spike.

After that, coach Kataoka blew the whistle, signaling that the game had already begun, so f r/n began to toss the ball in to Ellen, but she tossed it too high, thinking Ellen wouldn't be able to spike it, but she was mistaken because Ellen can jump higher than a typical player/person.

So Ellen jumped and spiked the ball, and everyone was stunned by her speed.

*POP*

They were even more surprised when the ball popped.

'Oop, it seems like I went too hard due to my eagerness,' Ellen thought, turning around to see many others staring in disbelief.

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to pop the ball," Ellen apologized, and they remained speechless.

"N-no, it's fine," Coach Kataoka stammered, still astonished.

"Are you sure?" Ellen inquires, concerned.

"Y-yeah, and you passed the test," he said, forcing a smile.

"Really!! It is my joy to be a part of your team, "Ellen exclaimed happily.

'I can finally practice volleyball again because Uncle didn't allow me before because he said I couldn't manage my strength, so I waited for years to control it,' Ellen thought.

Ellen walked to the parking lot after school to look for her car. She found it, but there were others who were picturing it, so she let it be.

Because she was exhausted from the training, she sat on a motorcycle near the car, but suddenly a girl pushed her; it was the girl who was taking pictures of her car.

"How dare you sit on my motorcycle," the girl retorted, making Ellen angry.

"Get out of my car." Ellen murmured quietly, and everyone laughed.

"This is our car; how dare you tell us it's yours," the boy exclaimed, and Ellen burst out laughing.

"Oh, are you sure?" Ellen queried with a...
