The whistle blew again, signalling them that the timeout has ended. Kageyama went back onto court, Tsukishima shocked by how cooperative the rumored king had become.

Kageyama got into position to set, Tsukishima running up to spike.

Three players lined up to block him, jumping the same time as him. Instead of slamming it down, Tsukishima lightly hit it over, performing a feint.

Nobody was close enough to receive the ball, earning Karasuno another point.

Tsukishima did another feint, but luckily their libero received it, but it went back to Karasuno.

Kageyama set the ball to Asahi, who spiked it past two blockers. Karasuno earned a point but Aoba Johsai easily got another point in the next round.

Karasuno - 23
Aoba Johsai - 22

Tsukishima did another feint, their libero receiving it again. Oikawa set it towards Kindaichi, who spiked it towards the other side.

Tanaka received the ball last minute, sending it back towards Kageyama.

Unexpectedly, Kageyama set the ball towards Tsukishima who was surprised.

Everyone was expecting for him to do another feint, but he instead hit the volleyball at full power. The libero raised his hands out of instinct, making the ball go out, earning Karasuno another point.

"All right!"

"Tsukishima you magnificent bastard! Nice one!"

"Get out of my face!-"

Kageyama turned towards Tsukishima, making Ayako tilt her head a little in curiosity.

"Nuff..nuff.. Nice."

"Huh?"

"Don't choke on it Kageyama~!"

Ayako smiled, knowing that it was out of Kageyama's comfort zone to openly compliment others, especially Saltyshima.

Karasuno - 24
Aoba Johsai - 23

Iwaizumi had just earned Aoba Johsai another point, putting Oikawa back in the serving spot.

Ayako could feel the air suddenly tense up, as everyone was watching him. She shuddered at the intensity, not liking the feeling.

"Oooolé!"

Oikawa hit it towards the left of Nishinoya, in the corner.

"Noya!!"

Nishinoya swiftly received the ball, but it went back towards Aoba Johsai.

"Chance Ball!"

Their libero received it, sending it back towards Oikawa. Tsukishima was about to jump, but Kageyama stopped him.

The ball wasn't going to Kindaichi, but Iwaizumi. Tsukishima and Kageyama jumped up to block it, shutting out the spike.

Karasuno - 25
Aoba Johsai - 23

Set 2 - Karasuno

~

Ayako was very nervous. Her head was hurting, due to the amount of thinking she's done. She didn't want to let the team down, but Ayako felt like she wasn't doing much.

Set 3 has started, Karasuno with 8 points and Aoba Johsai with 10 points.

Ayako knows she should be used to the tension, due to her being a libero for her last volleyball team.
