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?

Riku Strikes Back!

Riku was always a smart boy. Beneath his loud and obnoxious attitude, he was observant of his surroundings—even though more often than not, he chose to ignore them. Still, that didn't diminish his observational skills.

He knew that Haruo kept a close eye on him—not that it was difficult to see—with the opponent's opposite hitter doing the same. That was a reasonable approach. Even though Riku hadn't played well, he was still the team's setter, the one who controlled the game. Moreover, Haruo knew what he was capable of, so keeping an eye on him was definitely necessary.

That was why, against his nature, Riku decided to patiently stay back in the shadows while letting Yuki steal the limelight.

'No, not yet. That blonde bastard still has his eyes on me. I need to be more patient.' He kept murmuring that to himself.
