The referee blew the whistle to start the match.
"Kageyama! Set all the ball to me! Today I'm fired up, haha!" Hinata said excitedly.
"Idiot! First learn how to spike powerfully!" Kageyama grumbled.
"Kageyama! It doesn't matter, does it?" Hinata asked innocently.
"This idiot! Don't ask me stupid questions!" Kageyama grumbled again.
"Oh, looks like His Highness is getting chewed out by our pipsqueak." Tsukishima said.
"Ah! Just shut up, both of you!" Kageyama shouted.
"Alright boys, focus." Daichi said from behind in a calm tone.
Karasuno served first.
Ennoshita stepped up to serve.
He used the basic overhand serve. The ball headed was towards Iwaizumi, who easily received the ball and passed the ball to Yahaba.
Yahaba immediately set the ball to Kirito.
Kirito made the approach and leapt into air.
Tsukishima and Hinata immediately set up a double block.
Hinata who was the shortest in the team, was able to set up a block height similar to Tsukishima.
Yahaba was very surprised at Hinata's leap. Kunimi and Kindaichi were also surprised by this small player's leap into air.
Iwaizumi mused at that leap too.
"One, two and jump!"
Kirito unfazed by the blocks, spiked the ball over the block.
BOOM!
The ball landed near Ennoshita, but he couldn't react in time to save the ball.
"Spike over the block!"
[Aoba Johsai 1 - 0 Karasuno]
Everyone from Aoba Johsai came to high-five Kirito.
"So cool! I want to spike over the block like that too!" Hinata said smilingly.
"Pipsqueak, look at your height first." Tsukishima said in mocking tone.
"Ah, you can't discourage your own teammate like that, you know! You are so mean!" Hinata replied.
Aoba Johsai served.
Yahaba stepped up to serve.
Yahaba sent a overhand serve. The ball was heading towards the front row of the Karasuno's court.
Hinata immediately darted to receive it, but he couldn't control the energy and spin of the ball and bounced out of bounds.
[Aoba Johsai 2 - 0 Karasuno]
"Hinata-idot! What were you doing during practice?" Kageyama shouted at him.
"I'm sorry." Hinata said while trying to hide his face.
"Hehe, pipsqueak that's one hell of a debut!" Tsukishima said.
"Shut up, Tsukishima!" Hinata shouted while being red all over the face.
"I'll get next one for sure!" he added.
On the Aoba Johsai side-
"Ohhh~ Yahaba-senpai's first serve point!" Kirito said teasingly.
"To be able to witness in this lifetime, what an honor." Kirito added smilingly.
Thud!
"Ouch! Why did you punch me?!" Kirito demanded for answer.
"You can't tease your senior like that." Yahaba responded.
"Nice punch." Iwaizumi said to Yahaba.
"I've still got a lot to learn from you, Iwaizumi-senpai." Yahaba replied.
"Oi! Are you two plotting to kill me from head punches!" Kirito protested.
Thud! Thud!
"Not again!" Kirito said while rubbing his head.
Aoba Johsai served.
Yahaba stepped up to serve again and served in the middle of Karasuno's court.
Daichi came to save the ball. Daichi calmly passed the ball to Kageyama.
Kageyama seeing the tall blocker made up of Hanamaki, Kirito and Kindaichi clicked his tongue in frustration.
His team were not in best form currently.
He analyzed the blockers and their every movement.
"Over here!" Hinata shouted.
Kirito and Kindaichi immediately set up a double block.
Kageyama's body language was solid and the blockers couldn't guess which side will he set the ball to.
Kageyama seeing only a single blocker remain stationed near to Tsukishima, immediately set the ball to him.
Tsukishima taking advantage of his height, leapt into air and spike the ball.
Boom!
The ball moved towards the back row of Aoba Johsai.
Iwaizumi immediately dived to save the ball and passed the ball to Yahaba in one single motion.
Yahaba without giving a single thought, immediately set the ball to Kirito.
Kirito leapt and spiked the ball.
Tsukishima immediately jumped to set up a solo block.
Kirito performed a cross-court spike.
The ball move towards the back right side of the court.
Daichi immediately passed the ball to Kageyama.
Kageyama under the pressure, accelerated his thought and set a quick set to the left side.
A figure immediately sprinted and was ready to pounce the ball. Hinata without a single thought ran like a bullet and leapt.
Kirito and Kindaichi became shocked by that instantaneous sprint. They couldn't reach to him in time.
But, Hinata when swung his arm, missed the ball to slam it to home.
The ball landed inside the Karasuno's court.
[Aoba Johsai 3 - 0 Karasuno]
Everyone looked at Kageyama and Hinata immediately.
"Did he set a wrong set?"
"Why was it so fast and quick?"
"I couldn't see the ball at all?"
"Dude, that orange shorty is so fast!"
"The blockers from Aoba Johsai couldn't even react in time."
"Such a shame though, if he could have spiked the ball, it would have been special."
Kirito smiled. That was the infamous Freak-quick. Although, still not fully developed and needs time/adjustment, it's current output was still dangerous.
Kirito took a deep breath.
This time, his adaptation didn't work. The adaptation still needed more time and adjustment before adapting.
Kirito smiled again thinking there is a whole lot of time left to adapt to that Freak-quick.
Aoba Johsai served.
Yahaba again stepped up and served.
The ball headed towards back row of Karasuno's court.
Ennoshita received the ball and immediately passed to Kageyama.
Kageyama set the ball to Hinata. Hinata with his spring-like jump, leapt into the air.
Kirito and Kindaichi set up double block.
Hinata smiled.
Using every ounce of his strength, spiked the ball.
BOOM!
Smack!
Kirito without faze, killed the ball. The ball landed back into Karasuno's court.
"Block point!"
[Aoba Johsai 4 - 0 Karasuno]
"Ugh." Hinata groaned.
"Their block are so high and strong." Hinata complained.
"Then, jump higher than them, idiot." Kageyama replied.
"Hmph." Hinata grumped.
The match continued on.
Kageyama and Hinata without an ounce of fear and nervousness, experimented their Freak-quick throughout the first set. They lost many points to that. But, that didn't stop them. They were still finding that right timing and rhythm.
When they finally got to serve, Kageyama served with full force to score a point, but the ball with violent power immediately hit the back of Hinata's head.
Hinata fell flat on the ground.
"Kageyama, I think you should practice on your serving." Hinata said while rubbing back of his head.
"Shut up, idiot." Kageyama grumbled.
Everybody laughed at both of them.
The first set ended with Aoba Johsai taking the first set.
[Aoba Johsai 25 - 12 Karasuno]
