Description
Shouyou's first day of high school is far more terrifying than it has any right to be. He thinks of being able to actually play on a real, powerhouse team for volleyball, rather than one cobbled together from friends and half baked promises of meat buns and helping them practice. Thinks of playing more than one match in all three years of his middle school career- one match that had ended in half an hour and been lost in straight sets. The thought of being a regular on an actual team is incredible, leaves him breathless and giddy, even as he sits at his polished desk, surrounded by unfamiliar faces who all seem to be familiar, but only with each other. It doesn't matter, though. Friends are nice but volleyball is better. He'll make it on Aoba Johsai's team, he has to- and if he doesn't, well. He'll prove his worth a thousand times over if he has to.
