What? Was that guy just lying to me?" Motoyasu Kotaro was greatly surprised. Google search to read.
"That's right!"
Keiji Akaashi nodded affirmatively, having studied the "Owl Rearing Handbook" for many years and believing he had mastered it. At this moment, he was hesitating whether to add some "child anti-abduction" knowledge to the handbook.
Otherwise, Keiji Akaashi was very worried that the owl he was raising would be tricked and sold one day, and he would even help others count the money.
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard the owl... Ptooey! It was Motoyasu Kotaro who then exclaimed, "What an amazing trick, I didn't even notice it at all!"
Keiji Akaashi: "..."
Alright!
No more hesitation now.
"You hateful brat, how dare you deceive me! Just you wait, I'll come and beat you to a pulp right away."
Bokuto was very angry, and the consequences would be severe.
However, it was hard to say who would bear these severe consequences.
Motoyasu Kotaro rolled up his sleeves, ready for a big fight. However, Keiji Akaashi, seeing this scene from the side, felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
Ah, this… I have a bad feeling!
"Um, Kōtarō Bokuto, you must stay calm when attacking after the match starts, and follow the tactics…"
Keiji Akaashi wanted to remind Motoyasu Kotaro not to be impulsive, but before he could finish his sentence, Bokuto impatiently interrupted him.
"So annoying, I know! Follow the tactics, right! No problem… Just you wait! Hateful Seijoh. →"
Seeing Bokuto's behavior, Keiji Akaashi slapped his forehead: "Great, he's hyped up!"
He quickly gave the rest of the team a look, signaling them to get ready.
The others received the look and were instantly surprised.
Huh?
So fast, did we break a record today?
However, despite their surprise, the other Fukurodani players reacted quickly and soon began to move.
They also didn't doubt the accuracy of Keiji Akaashi's hint, because now everyone in Fukurodani knew that Bokuto's understanding of Bokuto could only be second; Keiji Akaashi was the person who understood Bokuto the most.
Beep!
With the referee's whistle.
Warm-up time ended, and the match officially began.
Seijoh still chose to serve first, and Iwaizumi Hajime made the first serve. The volleyball flew steadily over the net and was easily received by Fukurodani's Libero.
All of Fukurodani's players had very solid fundamentals. After all, they were a top national powerhouse, and it would be difficult to reach this level by relying solely on one 'Ace'.
"Akaashi, pass the ball to me!"
As soon as Fukurodani's Libero received the volleyball, he heard Motoyasu Kotaro's sudden shout from behind.
Keiji Akaashi's heart sank, and his ominous premonition grew stronger.
At this moment.
Keiji Akaashi even considered not Passing the volleyball to Bokuto, but this thought only lasted 5 seconds in his mind before he discarded it.
The reason was simple.
If he passed the ball to Bokuto, who was already a bit hyped up, there was a fifty percent chance Bokuto would fail the Spike.
But there was at least a fifty percent chance of success.
However, if he didn't pass the ball this time, once Bokuto threw a tantrum, that would be truly troublesome.
So in the end, Keiji Akaashi still passed the ball to Motoyasu Kotaro.
"Kōtarō Bokuto!"
Meeting the incoming volleyball, Motoyasu Kotaro spread his arms and leaped into the air: "You hateful brat, how dare you lie to me! Watch me finish you with one Spike."
On the other side of the net.
Akashi Asuka looked at Motoyasu Kotaro's airborne movement, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"This Spike…"
Akashi Asuka vaguely felt that this Spikeseemed a bit strange, but when he observed carefully, he felt that Motoyasu Kotaro's movements were flawless. Whether it was the jump height or the aerial posture, the opponent maintained them perfectly.
Facing such a Spike, the success rate of a single block was not high.
So Akashi Asuka just tried to jump, thinking of reaching out to block the opponent's cross-court attack, so that the Defense players behind him could see Bokuto's Spike line more clearly.
However, the next second.
'Smack!'
Along with a crisp sound, Akashi Asuka only felt a light tap on his arm. After he came to his senses, the volleyball had already rolled onto Fukurodani's court boundary.

"Huh?"
Motoyasu Kotaro was stunned, his eyes instantly turning into dots.
Akashi Asuka was also stunned. He looked at his arm and truly didn't expect that his casual block could actually stop the opponent, which was utterly absurd.
The other players on the court were also dumbfounded. Both Seijoh and Fukurodaniplayers looked at each other, their small eyes filled with big question marks.
Even the spectators in the surrounding stands instantly fell silent.
Only Keiji Akaashi slapped his forehead forcefully.
"It's over!"
······
The atmosphere on the scene was quiet for a full three seconds before the commentator's voice finally sounded over the court:
[It's here, Fukurodani's 'Ace' - Motoyasu Kotaro's miraculous Spike.]
[Facing Seijoh's 'Ace' Akashi Asuka's clear attempt to block the cross-court, Motoyasu Kotaro decisively chose a forceful breakthrough, but unfortunately failed to break through.]
[As expected of the 'Ace' with 1% unpredictability...]
"Puff~~~ Hahahaha!"
"What was that! To attack the block at such a moment, it really is you, Bokuto!"
"Goo-goo-goo-goo-goo~~~ Hiccup!"
It was better that the commentator didn't explain for Motoyasu Kotaro; with this explanation, the entire audience completely lost it.
In fact, many spectators supporting Motoyasu Kotaro were already used to Bokuto's frequent outrageous plays, but there was no helping it. With this Spike today, Bokuto once again broke his own limits, reaching an even more absurd level.
Coupled with the commentator's attempt to conceal, yet not fully conceal, his commentary skills, the audience area around the entire court instantly erupted into a sea of joy.
"Akaashi…"
A ghostly voice emanated from Motoyasu Kotaro's mouth. Keiji Akaashi, hearing the voice, shivered violently.
No way!
Has it already come?
"From now on, don't pass me the ball anymore!" Motoyasu Kotaro waved his arm, saying in a deeply frustrated voice.
Keiji Akaashi: "..."
The rest of Fukurodani: "..."
"Ah! It's here, Bokuto's 'Negative Mode'. By the way, it came so fast this time, it must have broken a record!"
Looking at Bokuto, who was starting to throw a tantrum, the Fukurodani members first showed helplessness, and then after about a second, the group put Bokuto out of their minds.
"Forget it, he'll recover soon anyway. Let's focus on the match first!" With that, the group turned and left.
Keiji Akaashi: "Senpai, you are truly reliable!"
Motoyasu Kotaro: "Huh~ (?△?;?)?"
