Tooru stepped onto the court and high-fived the previous setter, Tanaka stuck his tongue out at him before Daichi bonked his head. Tooru stepped behind the serve line "No matter how strong their attacks are" he started "It falls flat if they never connect with the ball" He pointed straight at Tsukishima who seemed to be taken aback from the sudden gesture. Tooru began his serve by throwing the ball into the air as took a running start, he threw his arms behind him before he flew into the air.

His arm cranked back before his hand came into contact with the ball at incredible speed. A loud slam echoed through the gymnasium as the ball flew over the net. Tsukishima tensed as he prepared to receive the ball, but it bounced off his arm straight to the railing of the second floor.

Everyone's faces turned blue at the new-found powerhouse on Aoba Johsai "Tsukki!!" Yamaguchi screamed in terror as Tsukishima regained his composure, Tooru, where did you learn this kind of control, I watched intently as the scene played out in front of me.

"Yeah,I thought so" Tooru put his hand on his side as he watched Karasuno stare at him intensely "I started watching halfway through, You guys #5 and #6" Hinata jumped at his jersey number being called and Tsukishima tensed up.

"You're bad at receiving, are you guys first years?" He smiled to them both and Hinata took a step back. "Who is this guy? He's insane!" Manami gasped, but I didn't answer, I looked down to Tsukishima who was frowning, I took a breath in and cupped my hands "Don't mind!!" I yelled and Tsukishima looked up towards me. Tooru stepped back behind the serving line and smiled again "Okay I'm going for another one" he threw the ball back up into the air and served another powerful serve.

The ball raced to Tsukishima again and bounced off of his arms to the side again, "Tsukki!!!" Yamaguchi cried out again as he grabbed Suga's arm. "Shit!" Tsukishima cursed, and it took me aback I haven't seen him act like this before, he must be really frustrated.

"Shake it off Tsukishima" Daichi called, one more point till they tie the scores I bit at my fingernail, "Hey you! Great King!" Hinata yelled across the net and Tooru quickly looked over to him "Aim for me! I can take it! Target me!" Hinata stomped at the ground and fussed.

I let out a slight laugh watching Hinata throw a tantrum, "Stop hollering, it's undignified" Tsukishima raised his voice to Hinata "What did you say?" he responded with confusion before going into thought.

Hinata tensed up as he looked at Tsukishima "In volleyball, everyone on this side of the net is your ally!" He yelled and Tsukishima gained a sour look on his face as he cringed at his words "Such wise words!" Tanaka cheered at his previously spoken advice.

"Okay, fall back as a group" Daichi ordered everyone and turned to Tsukishima.

"Tsukishima get closer to the side-line"

"Yes, sir"

Daichi crouched into a defensive position and raised his hands as he prepared for the devastating serve "Okay, bring it!" he called.

"One person can't defend the entire court!" Tooru yelled as he served the ball and it headed straight towards Tsukishima once again "Tsukki!!!!" Yamaguchi almost fainted at the serve once again.Tsukishima received the ball shakily but it flew to the other side of the court and turned into a chance ball.

"Damn it!" Tsukishima cursed again under his breath as he intently watched the ball.

"Perhaps I made it too easy to receive" Tooru observed as he received the ball and passed it to the turnip head. He prepared to spike it but Hinata jumped up and reached his arm out as he attempted to block #7's spike. The ball touched the tip of his fingers and gave Karasuno the chance to attack the ball.
