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's Plan

Before this play… No, even far before that, Riku noticed that he had been stared at constantly by Sawada from the other side of the net. At first, he thought the boy was just targeting Yuki. But after a while, he realized he was also under Sawada's radar.

He also knew that even though they had little to no contact before this game, Sawada had already known about his overly high competitive spirit. It was something that he could never conceal.

So, adding those two facts, together, Riku laid a careful plan to lure Sawada out to the front line and expose his weak defense.

Riku deliberately raised his voice when he said he wanted to stabilize the game first so that Sawada could hear and guess his plan. With his sharp instinct, there was no way Sawada wouldn't guess it was just a fake call and he would do the same dump attack just like Sawada did before.

However, that was the bait that Riku sent to lure him out.
