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?

Rally!

In a volleyball game, a service specialist always had two tasks. First, it was to score a point from the service line. There was no explanation needed about this. However, if the first task couldn't be done, he had to ensure the second task was done, and that was to create chaos on the opponent's side. By doing that, it would scatter their formation and make their attack predictable.

'Listen, Hirano.' Akira said in the past. 'This is the cooperation that often happens between a service specialist like Yuki and a middle blocker like you. When Yuki was able to scatter the opponent's formation, you have to lock down their best player, because only the best player would be able to bring their team out of the chaos.'

Hirano remembered this instruction pretty vividly. That was why, whenever Yuki was on the service line, he was always ready for the opponent's best player. And that was why he was there, jumping to block Lucas's spike when the opponent was in chaos.
