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?

Aftermath

"So, any regrets about your decision?" Kato asked.

The sky was dark at this point, and they had already returned to Tsukumi University. After saying goodbye and expressing their heartfelt gratitude to Sekine, Yuki, Riku, and Kato were on their journey home.

An awkward silence enveloped them as everyone fell into their own thoughts. However, it was clear that Yuki was the one burdened with many concerns, especially considering the offer from Kawaki and his 'seemingly rash' decision that followed.

Kato and Riku stared at Yuki with eyes full of concern, worried that he might regret his decision. They suspected so because the bespectacled boy had dozed off several times during the journey back from the Tokyo Thunder to Tsukumi University. Even the taxi driver noticed Yuki's mood and asked whether he was okay.

After a moment of silence following Kato's question, Yuki finally sighed and addressed his feelings. "Regret? There shouldn't be any," he muttered.
