Everyone was either standing up or leaning forwards in their seats in pure awe as the ball hit off of the player on the opposite sides arms and flew to the back of the court.

"She... j-just..." Oikawa whispered. "She won their game by..."

"NICE KILL!" Iha cheered, throwing her fists in the air. The awestruck team snapped out of their frozen state of mind, and they began hollering in triumph.

(F/n) and Iha were jumping up and down giddily, then Tengan smacked them and yelled at them for hiding a secret like this. Yada pushed Tengan aside and hugged her senpais with the biggest, most adorable smile imaginable.

The captains went to go shake hands. (F/n) was rubbing her eyes. She was crying. The other captain was, too.

"I promise to see you again." The captain of the blue and black team said, and (F/n) nodded with a competitive smile.

"Pinkie swear." Seijoh's captain demanded, and the two linked pinkies, laughing slightly.

"Good game."

"Backstcha."

"Win for us. Go to nationals." The other captain requested, and (F/n) nodded. The two broke away from each other, and the teams left.

The moment Seijoh's female team got into the hall, they were celebrating, jumping around their captain and setter with stars in their eyes and smiles on their faces. Kazehaya even looked ecstatic.

"And then you were like WHAM!" Yada was bubbling over, when Hajime came running towards his cousin and grabbing her shoulders, shaking her slightly. Oikawa wasn't far behind.

"That was amazing!" Oikawa announced, and Iwaizumi nodded in agreement, seeming to have no words. "You were so awesome, (F/n)! You guys were so calm! You guys–nice–nice kill!" He said in almost one breath, pumping his fists up and down as if he couldn't find a way to describe how to feel or congratulate the team and the captain herself.

"You never showed that off in front of our team." Iwaizumi finally found his words.

(F/n) laughed, scratching the back of her neck. "I wanted you guys to see it in an environment with high intensity. At the last point that would win the game. We planned it all out, right, Iha?"

The setter turned away from her conversation with Arata and Tengan at the sound of her name, nodding and walking over to join them.

"We had to hide the fact that she was ambidextrous." Iha explained, wrapping an arm around her captains shoulders, forcing Iwaizumi to move his hands off. "That required a lot of smacking. Arata was in on it." She nodded towards said girl. "Either one of us had to be close enough to hit or poke her into just using her right hand. The teachers liked our idea."

Arata walked up to the group with a slightly annoyed Tengan trailing behind. "We had to promise them that we were making it to the finals, though. And then to Nationals."

"And that's exactly what we're going to do."
(F/n) piped up, and the two boys looked slightly startled.

"That's a big promise to keep, (F/n)-chan~." Oikawa wagged a finger at her. However, she shook her head with the most insistent gleam in her eye.

"We're going to win!" She smiled. "I'm doing this for my fellow third years and my newbies. We want to taste victory!"

The rest of the team, (who were obviously eves dropping), nodded in unison. Hana even let out a whistle.

Iwaizumi and Oikawa looked thoroughly impressed by their determination. Sadly, they couldn't speak for much longer, and had to go off to find their team.

Waving goodbye and departing from one another, they impatiently went to lunch.

-------------------------------------------------------

Their games were scheduled around the same time, so no one was able to watch the others game. All the girls team knew about the boy's game was that they were against Karasuno.

(F/n) was horribly torn on who to cheer for.

No, not really.

Karasuno all the way.

The opposite team was menacing. Glaring holes into the third years, creeping on the second years, and intimidating the first years. (F/n) and Hana were rushing around, reassuring everyone that it was all for show and there was not a thing to worry about.

"Don't let them into your head." The captain ordered. "They're just complicating things. We need to show them that we're not a team who comes here to mess around. If they're not going to show their friendly, then we won't, either. Lets show them who's boss. Make me proud."

The wolf pack was easily beginning to pull ahead in this game due to the ambidextrous secret coming out. However, the captain nearly had an anxiety attack when Enomoto, the libero, sprained a wrist when she dove to the floor to receive. The game was put on a short pause so things could be sorted out.

This fuled (F/n)'s fire. You don't mess with a wolf without expecting the rest of the pack to hunt you down. That's just ignorant.

"Uh oh." Yada shivered, watching her captain serve precisely at the person who was horrible at receiving serves.

"Ah, here we go." Their coach sighed. "Poor team. If only they knew."

This side of (F/n) was very rare, and a very scary thing to witness. Even the team got a little scared of her at this point. She got a quiet, intense aura around her.

Hana had warned the new ones to the volleyball team about this. Iha had compared it to the eye of a hurricane, and Arata compared it to the few silent minutes before a thunderstorm.

Tengan just said hell.

Either way, it always led to pure chaos.

(F/n)'s older brother granted Iwaizumi the blessing of seeing it, pulling out his phone and pressing record.
