The Birth of A Volleyball Legend-Chapter 387 : Konan High Takes Over the Game! (II)

"Holy shit, Lucas! What the hell is that?!"

"Yeah, Senpai! You really outlast them all in the air!"

"Are you sure you are still a human?!"

"Hey, speak English, please! I cannot understand you, Guys!"

Cheers explode inside the building as everyone was still in awe from Lucas's last play. Even though most of them couldn't see clearly the detail like how Lucas outlast the opponents in the air from their spot, and those who could see it couldn't understand the greatness behind it, they all were still entertained by the fact that Lucas beat three blockers on the other side of the court.

This alone was able to make everyone excited, since it wasn't often to see one hitter fought against three blockers, and the fact that the hitter won it made it even rarer. This would definitely be a highlight in the social media platform and became the headline news for the local newspaper.

Of course, in every amazing play, there would always be the victim who became the background here, and this time, Ito, Yamada, and Kusuda had to suffer from it. Whenever this play was replayed in the future, they all wouldbe remembered as the victims of Lucas's greatness, and they scowled as that thought came through their heads.

"I want revenge! Blood must be paid by blood too!" Ito scowled, his eyes were full of anger. "Yamada! Send the ball to me next, got it?!" He barked.

"Hell, no, Senpai! I will be the one who does it next!" Yamada who usually was a calm boy also retorted heatedly, wanting to do the honor by himself. Hell, even Kusuda felt the same, and if only he had a strong offensive ability, the opposite hitter would also ask for the same.

"Urgh… Hello?" Nitta tried to interrupt the conversation awkwardly. "Let's calm our heads for a moment before we do something rushed, okay?" Haruo also nodded in agreement.

Honestly, if this was a normal situation, Ito would laugh at the thought that Nitta who was always be the chaotic one and Haruo who was probably the most nonchalant player on the team suddenly became the voice of reason. However, emotion seemed to run pretty high here as they just got humiliated by Lucas blatantly like that.

"What, Nitta?! Don't tell me you are trying to steal the next ball too?!"Ito snapped his head and glared immediately, making the ace wilt in fear instantly.

"N-No, of course, not! Right, Haruo-kun?!"

"U-Um!"

"Good." Ito nodded, satisfied with their attitude. "Now, Yamada, just remember, the next ball is mine. Got it?"

Yamada himself returned the scowl as he said, "Let's just see what will happen next, agree?"

After debating for a while, in the end, everyone went back to their position with not a single player came out satisfied. Everyone wanted a piece of the next play here even though they knew they wouldn't be able to score so easily against Konan's defense. Right now, they all were driven by emotion here, not their logical thinking.

Unfortunately for them, to be able to advance to the next play, they had to stop Konan's next server, and that was Matsumoto, another juggernaut from the opponent team. The captain of the Konan High team just looked at his opponent amusedly as they all were in a scramble after getting destroyed by Lucas's attack.

'Well, to capitalize it, I need to target one of the three next. Who will it be… There!'

BAM!

As the referee blew the whistle, Matsumoto took the serve immediately, sending another powerful serve straight in Ito's direction. From one captain to another, Ito was taken aback when the ball zoomed into his face at a high speed. Since he was too focused on what he would do in the next attack, he lost his focus there, and as a result, the ball bruised his forearms before it went far outside of the court.

"YOSSHAAAA!" Matsumoto flexed his arm toward the stand, showing off his muscles to celebrate the play.

"Come on, Matsumoto! Keep it up!"

"This is our captain! This is Matsumoto!"

"Ole! Ole! Ole!"

The cheers kept resounding throughout the building for a while before the referee asked Matsumoto to go back to the service line and get ready for the next play. Feeling that the momentum was on his side, Konan's captain decided to go bolder and do something new here.

'What did that Tsunemori's four eyes do? Sending it straight to the spot where the setter is going to run, right? Let's see if I can do the same.'

FWEEE!

Everyone was taken aback for a moment when they all saw a weak serve from Matsumoto. While some of them thought it was because he tried to preserve stamina for this final set, those who knew the boy knew he was up to no good here. True enough, when Ito was about to receive the ball, Kyoei's captain suddenly froze on the spot, and the next thing he knew, the ball had already fallen in front of his spot.

Thud!

Silence fell on the court for a moment as everyone stared at the ball, dumbfounded. At first, they didn't know what just happened. At first, everyone was puzzled about what just happened. However, when one of them muttered hesitantly, "Is that the same trick the Tsunemori player with glasses uses?", Hell broke loose.

"Oh! It is that damn trick?!"

"Never in my dream, I would think that someone from our team would be able to do that!"

"Hey, that is our genius captain, Matsumoto!"

"Hell, yeah! Come on, Matsumoto!"

As cheers erupted, Kyoei Gakuen's head coach finally had enough, rising from his seat before announcing, "TIMEOUT FOR KYOEI GAKUEN!"

-0-

"Yuki, is that your serve to the traffic trick?" Riku asked hesitantly as he saw Yuki's jaw drop. The other players also felt uneasy since this was the first time they saw someone replicate Yuki's unstoppable trick.

"…Yeah…" Yuki nodded slowly.

There was an awkward silence inside the Tsunemori gymnasium building as everyone felt the same frustration. Just when they thought they worked hard enough to get closer to Konan High, they showed why they deserved to be the undisputed best team in the country, demonstrating the huge gap the other teams needed to fill if they wanted to reach even the edge of their jersey.

First, it was Lucas's abnormal physique, then Matsumoto suddenly pulled Yuki's invisible trick, and no one knew if that was the only trick they had under their sleeves. With that thought in mind, everyone had the same question inside their mind, 'How in the hell would they beat Konan High in the future?!'
