Takeda's excitement was contagious. "A practice match! And guess who it's against? One of the top four teams in the entire prefecture, Aoba Johsai High!"

"Johsai!?" Daichi and Sugawara gasped in unison.

"Aoba Johsai?!" Shoyo's eyes lit up with sheer excitement, his enthusiasm barely containable.

"Aoba Johsai..." Kageyama, on the other hand, felt a mix of emotions when he learned about the upcoming practice match against Aoba Johsai.

Shoyo couldn't contain his excitement and grabbed Sora's shoulders, shaking him with exhilaration. "Aniki, can you believe it? We're going to have a practice game with Aoba Johsai!"

"S-Shoyo, p-please, s-stop s-shaking m-me!" Sora stammered, trying to steady himself.

Unfortunately for Sora, Shoyo's excitement knew no bounds, and he continued to shake him with unbridled enthusiasm. The others couldn't help but sweatdrop at their interaction, a mixture of amusement and concern on their faces.

Takeda redirected his attention to Sora, Shoyo, and Kageyama, a warm smile playing on his lips. "So, you three are the troublemakers, the Hinata twins, and Kageyama-kun."

Shoyo stopped shaking Sora as he and Kageyama raised their brows in confusion.

"T-Troublemakers?" Shoyo asked. "But we haven't done anything to ruin the school's reputation...yet!"

'Yet?' Everyone else thought, sweatdrops forming as they exchanged uneasy glances.

Sora was still in a daze from Shoyo shaking him, and everyone could almost see imaginary stars circling around his head, depicting his disorientation.

Takeda approached them with a friendly demeanor. "I'm this year's club advisor, Ittetsu Takeda."

Hearing this, Kageyama and Shoyo immediately straightened their posture. "Hello," they chorused in unison.

Sora, on the other hand, managed to snap out of his daze and greeted Takeda with a warm smile. "Hello."

"I don't have any volleyball experience, so I can't give any technical advice," Takeda said, his sincerity evident. "But I'll do my best to help with anything else. Just ask."

"Yes, sir," Kageyama and Shoyo replied in unison, their determination shining in their eyes.

Meanwhile, Sora gave Takeda a thumbs up, his face lighting up with a grateful smile.

"Sensei," Daichi and Sugawara approached Takeda.

Takeda turned around to face them, his expression a mix of weariness and determination. "I've been all over the place arranging a practice-"

At this point, Sora stopped listening, his attention drifting away as he began daydreaming about the memes he had recently stumbled upon on Reddit.

Bzzt!

Sora was jolted out of his daydreaming as he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He quickly retrieved it and saw a text from Hideo.

He opened the message, and it read: "Hey, Sora-kun, I know today is Saturday, but do you wanna come to the Tennis court? I have something important to discuss with you."

Sora raised one of his brows, curiosity piqued. 'I wonder what he wants to talk about?'

Sora quickly typed a reply: "Hey, Senpai, I'm in the volleyball gymnasium atm, what time are we going to meet?"

He waited, watching as three dots appeared on the screen, indicating that Hideo was currently typing.

Hideo's reply finally came through: "That's great! I'm on my way to the school, I'll text you if I arrive!"
