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 (II)

It seemed the higher-ups worked fast and efficiently today. Just two days after the team's defeat against Konan High, the official statement about the team's disbandment had already spread like wildfire. By then, everyone knew that the volleyball team was done already.

However, to Yuki's surprise, the whispers from the crowd weren't as nasty as before. While the rumor mill hadn't been stopped yet, at least there were one or two voices that showed their support for them, and after listening to the argument there, Yuki knew it all came from the other sports teams.

"What do you know about competitive sport? It is hard enough to reach the top 8 in the Tokyo Tournament, you know? Even our baseball club had never been able to reach that far!"

"Well, our basketball club is a bit better, but we are also stopped by the best team in Tokyo in the top 8, so I know how the volleyball team feels right now."
