Twenty-Three

"Let's see, this block... Tori... Torino?" A blacked haired male in pale yellow jumpsuit pointed at the match list before him.

"I think it's 'Karasuno'." His brown haired friend, dressed in the similar jumpsuit, corrected him.

"They were strong once, not too long ago."

"Ahaha, yeah. But not anymore." He leaned closer to his friend, his voice in a softer tone now. "There's a saying about their team."

"What's that?"

"Fallen powerhouse. Flightless ravens."

The blacked haired male felt a strong presence behind him and turned around to find the team, fully dressed in black, standing right behind them. "Hey, shut up." He whispered to his friend.

Before his friend could ask why, Tanaka got in between them with a dark look on his face. "Flightless, you say?" He asked in a dangerous voice, scaring them both. "Is that what you said?"

Immediately, he was pulled by the collar by his captain. "Come on. Let's go." Daichii warned, giving the bald male a disapproving look. "I'm sorry." He apologized as he bowed at the two students.

"Ah... N-No problem..." The browned haired male said, still startled by Tanaka's menacing glare.

"Don't squabble." Daichii cautioned as he dragged Tanaka by his collar.

"Yes..." Tanaka hung his head low in embarrassment.

Not far behind, Takeda and their two managers walked into the entrance as well, having a light discussion over their team's progress and such. As the boys walked down the hall way filled with players from other schools and teams, they managed to get many people's attention. Gossips and rumors started to arise as everyone whispered about the crows, commenting on their members.

[Name] heard a few comments on Asahi being a nasty delinquent who had to be held back at school for five years. She did her best not to laugh, afraid that she might offend the 3rd year softy. Kiyoko couldn't help but to let out a light giggle as well.

"Cute..." [Name] heard another compliment. She glanced to the side to find two boys checking Kiyoko out. However, Kiyoko didn't seem to notice any of them.

"Karasuno's manager is such a beauty."

"I'm so jealous..."

"That's not fair..."

"Go say hi. I dare you."

"Should I? Should I really?"

Nishinoya and Tanaka perked up when they overheard them. Their eyes turned red and vicious as they went into 'protect-Kiyoko-san-from-any-other-male' mode. They growled at all the nearby male players and they orbited Kiyoko, protecting her from all sides.

"The other girl is pretty cute too..."

"Our managers are off limits!!" Both the 2nd years exclaimed, pulling [Name] into the circle they created. [Name] blinked in confusion as she stood behind Kiyoko, wondering what the two boys were up to.

Kiyoko sighed and knocked both their heads with a notebook on each hand. "Stop that." She ordered and they froze immediately.

"Kiyoko-san..." Tanaka begun was they held their hands together as if they were praying. Flowers bloomed around them and it seemed as though spring had blessed the both of them. They both had smiles on their faces, smiles that seemed a little creepy for [Name].
