"so this is how we're going to do it," you say as you look at the team. "i know it looks like we might not have any idea about volleyball, but we do. we know some of you from high school, and we know what you can do, and that's why we're helping the coach, especially riley."

suna crosses his arms as he looks at you, his head titling a little. he can see how much you have grown over these years. you're more confident... he likes it. go best friend.

"we have an important match coming up. we're going to kyoto next week to play a practice match," you say, looking around the group. "as i mentioned it's just for practice, but i know some of that team and to them, this isn't just practice. we need to show them what we can do and if we don't, they will get cocky. do we want that?"

the team shakes their head. they all listen to you carefully. the attitude you have... you seem to know what you're doing.

and kageyama hates it. he hates it so incredibly much, even more so because he thinks it's hot.

he's not supposed to find you hot.

"is the kyoto team with oikawa?" some first year guy asks, his head titling a little. "i heard they were pretty good."

riley nods at his words, "yes, kyoto is the team of oikawa. a lot of other players we know from high school are in that team as well, and they're good. they're all about volleyball just like you guys, so we got to do our best. we will show them a fight."

a second year raises his hand, "are you guys sure we can do it? don't they have oikawa as a setter and akaashi too? and then bokuto, an ace, and that shoyo kid?"

riley shrugs, "i'm not worried. they're good, but so are we."

"oikawa isn't all that good, and so ain't shoyo. shoyo's shit when he doesn't have a good setter. the only reason he was good in high school was because of the teams he was playing in," kageyama says with a scoff. "he still lacks experience."

"aren't you the same?" suna asks the younger lad. "i thought the reason you were still here at university was because you lack experience."

kageyama shoots him a glare. "no," he mumbles, crossing his arms. "i chose this path."

you mentally smile at suna. those are the things you wish you could say, but you can't. there's no need for a war.

"ahhh, i miss shoyo-kun!" atsumu says with a pout. "he was so fun to watch during high school! he's so fun to play against. i can't wait!"

osamu facepalms himself. "you seriously need to know when to stop, idiot."

"alright guys, enough. shall we talk about positions?" kaiya asks, looking at the coach.

you've had various conversations with him already, deciding who's going to stand where and what positions the players should play. who's going to be in the starting lineup and who won't? it was the hardest decision ever, but somehow you guys made it work with a lot of puzzling and suggestions from both riley and you. no idea how you guys did it, but this might be the best one yet.

"because we have a lot of middle blockers that are great wing spikers as well, we had to choose who to put where. but on the same side, the middle blockers can be wing spikers, and vise versa," riley says, looking around the team.

she smiles. "it was a hard decision to make. riley and i had a lot of talks with the coach to see where to place everyone on the court and to have everyone play on positions where you can be at your full potential. but at the same time we want to see what you guys can do," riley says, looking at you. "do you want to do the honor?"

you nod and grab the board, showing a drawing of what you guys sketched as would be the positions for everyone.

"your captain will be kuroo-san," you start, looking at your rooster head friend. he smiles and nods, placing his hands on his hips. "you got it!"

"then for setters it will be miya atsumu, and kageyama tobio. as you can see kageyama will be one of the middle blockers or wing spiker positions as well, but with playing we can come up with tactics to have you both be setters, just like inarizaki used to do in their high school years," you say, looking at riley. "we think you can pull that off."

riley nods, taking over the talk from you. "like kageyama, there will be more of you that take the middle blocker and wing spiker positions. there's a lot of you that are middle blockers, but we think you can hit off the wing spiker positions as well. there's a few of you that are all-round players, so we came up with this plan. for our middle blockers, there's kuroo and tendou. suna and inuoka will take over that place as well, as well as being a wing spiker. for the wing spiker positions on paper, it will be kaykay, kageyama, and suna, with osamu and ginjima on those positions as well."

you nod at her words, "yaku-san will be the libero, standing on the same position as kuroo. our starting lineup will contain of kuroo, yaku, atsumu, kaykay, tendou, suna, and kageyama."

kaiya steps forward, "osamu, ginjima, shirabu, and inuoka wil sub in for the others. the rest of you will play as well, as we eita as our pinch server and various other players that can switch up the game sometime."

the team nods. a lot of them have no idea how this is going to work, but some of them seem excited. atsumu is already thinking about the various combinations he can make with kageyama, but also with his twin to switch up the game.

others aren't so happy, looking at kageyama who is close to spitting fire. who do you three think you are?

"i think this is amazing," the coach says, looking at all the players. "the girls are right. a lot of you can play on various positions, so i want to see where this goes. i can see atsumu and kageyama are really skilled when it comes to setting, but you need to work together as a team to make it work. not everyone works the same way. i think this can become something special when we learn how to work together," he finishes, looking at you, riley and kaiya.

"riley and y/n helped me a lot. riley knows an awful lot about volleyball, and y/n has your strengths and weaknesses ready. i'm sure tje girls can help us out! they're already doing more than they should do, which is great. i hope you guys are okay with them as managers."

you smile as you see your friends putting their thumbs up. suna has a small smile around his face, atsumu is talking eagerly, and oasmu just looks around. kaykay is way too happy know they're in the starting lineup.

"alright, now that this is out of the way, let's practice!" the coach says, pointing at the court. "run a few laps first. i think ten should be enough, then we're doing serves. now go on!"

"alright guys, come on!" kuroo shouts, motioning for them to follow him.

kaiya walks up to you and riley, "the jerseys are ready too. when will we give them their numbers?" she asks you and riley.

you two look at each other and smile.

"at their first match, of course."
