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?

A Class of How to Receive the Ball by Kobayashi Yuki

*BAM!*

"Shit! Again?!"

"Ha! You suck, Koji! Do five more diving drills!"

"Shut up, Kaede!"

It was the day after the second round against Tokomiyama, and even though the excitement was still there, they regained their focus quickly, starting to train again to prepare for the next round. Just like usual, there was no one else other than the team members in the gym, making it somehow lonely for them to train. Akira and Megumi were also not there yet, so their training was a bit messy today.

"Oi, Kobayashi-kun," Koji called. "Do you have any tips for me to get better at receiving the ball?"

Yeah, out of everyone on the team, Koji was probably the weakest defender here. Hell, even Hirano who was in the middle blocker was better at receiving than him. Not by miles, of course, but the game-reading ability the blocker had was enough to keep him one spot above Koji in terms of defense.
