Akemi Hada. Incoming 1st year. Tall, slender, beautiful with long brunette hair, plump pinkish lips, and captivating eyes. Her eyes are a sight to behold. A pair of alert, captivating eyes of desert-sand brown with streaks of gray and black, paired with full natural lashes and double eyelid crease. When she looks at you, she stares into your soul.
"Senpai, I can go on and find my way inside the school you know." Akemi carried the school uniform pretty well and is already receiving a few glances from the male students as they entered the school gate.
"This is the least I can do. I will give you a slight tour of the school today. Then after class, we can go to the volleyball practice and introduce you if you still wanna join." Yamaguchi said as he led the new student inside the school.
The class ended and Yamaguchi went to Akemi's room so he can bring her over to the volleyball court. They laughed as they talk about various things until they reached their destination.
The players already started setting up and stretching. Yachi is discussing the schedule and other plans with Mr. Takeda and Coach Ukai.
Yamaguchi and Akemi entered and few players, especially the 1st years, looked at them, awed at the sight of the beautiful Akemi gracing their court. They approached the coach, sensei, and Yachi.
"Hello. Ahmm I heard we can still add a manager who can help Yachi? This is Akemi Hada, a first year. She got transferred late due to previous issues with her former school. She is hoping she can be of help as the team's manager in training under Yachi. She's a friend of the family and just moved here."
"Oh hello, welcome!" Yachi stood and held both Akemi's hands together.
"Hello senpai, I'll be in your care," Akemi then turned to the sensei and coach and continued, "Hello. I'm Akemi Hada. 1st year. I hope to be of help to the Karasuno Volleyball team. Growing up, I have been exposed to different training programs and activities led by my father, a former coach from Nippon Sports University. I played volleyball myself during middle school. Please let me be of help and learn as well."
"Oh wow. That is reassuring." Sensei said thoughtfully.
"Well, we are not one to refuse help when it's available. You agree sensei?" Coach Ukai asked.
"Yes of course. We appreciate you reaching out to us this early in the school year. Would you like to be introduced to the team now?" Mr. Takeda asked.
"Yes please."
Coach Ukai asked for everyone to gather around. Ennoshita, the new captain, rounded up those who are still unaware of the sudden huddle up. As usual, Kagayema is beside Hinata. Tsukishima sat behind Hinata while waiting for Yamaguchi who changed quickly.
"Well, since Kiyoko graduated already, we are very fortunate to have a new addition to the team. Like the previous year, we will have two managers. I believe she can really help the team." Sensei then urged Akemi to step forward and introduce herself.
"Hello, team. I am Akemi Hada, a 1st year. I have little knowledge as far as volleyball training programs or volleyball in general, are concerned and I'd like to share them with you. I would like to learn more from Yachi Senpai as well. Together, I hope we can help the team more. Please take care of me."
She said these with ease and confidence. Her personality is, to put it simply...
Big.Dick.Energy.
She's beautiful alright but she is far from the typical weak damsel-in-distress type of girl.
"Wow, two managers again? Lucky!!!" Hinata's eyes shone brightly. The other players clapped with him as welcome to Akemi.
Tsukishima clapped along with them. His pumpkin is so pumped up that he wants to hug him temporarily and maybe his energy will tone down a bit. He is just one arm's length away. He restrained himself.
Oh well. That's his usual self. He perks up with little things like this.
Hinata looked back at Tsukishima and smiled at him brightly.
"What?" Tsukishima asked, a bit irritated.
"Nothing, I just looked at you. Is that bad?"
"N— no. Shouldn't we start practicing now?"
"Hmp, stingyshima."
"What did you say?"
"Nothinggggg". Hinata hurriedly walked off.
Coach Ukai started the practice.

"Hey, senpai... what's with Hinata and Tsukishima?" Akemi asked Yamaguchi while walking on their way to the school gate.
"What do you mean?", he looked ahead and saw Hinata and Tsukishima walking, "Oh there they are... Heeeeyyyy!"
Hinata turned, saw them, and walked back to meet them halfway. Tsukishima just turned and continued walking.
"Hello Akemi, how's your first day?"
"It's fine Hinata senpai. I have ideas as well for the team which I will discuss with the coach and Yachi senpai in the next few days."
"That's great! Hey, hope you don't mind me asking. Since you were a volleyball player too, why didn't you join the girl's team?" Hinata is now walking beside Akemi. Yamaguchi caught up and now walking with Tsukishima.
"Hmmm, I just chose another activity that will maximize my time. I help with my mom's dojo whenever I can. Being a player will mean less time to help unlike being an assistant manager."
"Oh wow coooool! So that's why you have a strong aura in you."
"Are you saying I'm scary?"
"N— no, no... I mean...". Hinata panicked while waving his hands.
Tsukishima stepped in and said, "You know what he means. You are indeed beautiful but you give off a bit of a snobbish air."
"Well thank you for that assessment senpai. I will try to be more friendly then."
"Hey, you two stop it. Funny how you act this way when you're basically the same."
Yamaguchi got in between the two tall and beautiful people.
"Hahaha, I have to agree." Hinata laughed.
"Oh by the way, Yamaguchi, how did you two know each other?" This time, all of them are walking together in a line.
"Well remember that time I went to the mall to meet my cousin after the Tokyo practice game? She was the friend she brought over. Since then, we helped her process the transfer for this year. Something to do with the sudden relocation of her father's work..? Right, Akemi?"
"Yeah. We moved to a house, just two houses away from his." Pointing to Yamaguchi.
"Oh, so we will drop you off before Yamaguchi then!". Hinata and Akemi chatted a lot.
Yamaguchi chimes in from time to time. Tsukishima just silently walked while listening to his headphones.
"Well, this is where I live. Thank you for escorting me senpais." Akemi bowed.
"No worries. It's a good thing we can accompany you." Hinata waved as the three walked on.
"Well, I'm here now,". Yamaguchi said as he stopped in front of his home. "You two take care, byeee."
"Yeah bye, Yamaguchi". Hinata and Tsukishima waved goodbye.
"Stop by my house till dinner."
"Huh? Why?"
"You don't want to?"
"No, of course, I do," Hinata said confused but continued. "Hey, what do you think of the recent ——-". Hinata started chatting again until they got to Tsukishima's home.
