Aoba Johsai Private High School.
A private High School ranked among the top five in Miyagi Prefecture for academic advancement.
For a long time, Aoba Johsai's highest reputation externally was not for its Volleyball Club or any other club, but for its highly praised excellent college admission rate.
Most students who could get into this school, Apart from a few from particularly wealthy families, generally had good grades. Even Akashi Asuka's sister, Akashi Kana, whom his parents considered unremarkable, was only unremarkable within Aoba Johsai Private High School.
In reality, her deviation score was not low at all compared to many students from other schools.
There were no rich second-generation students in the Volleyball Club; most students' family conditions, like their volleyball skills, were neither high nor low—just average.
There were no students who entered Aoba Johsai through money, and because of this, the academic performance of all the students in the Volleyball Club was not too bad.
However, there are always exceptions to everything.
It's like a dorm room with seven sons; there's always one or two scoundrels among them.
And Oikawa Tooru and Kyotani Kentaro were the two outliers in the Volleyball Club.
Oikawa Tooru… those who know, know.
Although Oikawa Tooru had always disliked Kageyama Tobio, it had to be admitted that in some ways, Oikawa himself was like a larger version of Kageyama.
Is Oikawa Tooru stupid?
He was clearly not stupid; in fact, he was very intelligent. Not only that, he also had high emotional intelligence, good perseverance, and very firm beliefs.
But… none of that changed the fact that he was a poor student.
It was unbelievable.
Not to mention the class teachers, even Iwaizumi Hajime, who had been Oikawa Tooru's childhood friend, couldn't understand why Oikawa Tooru, who had eight hundred tricks up his sleeve, could never get high scores in his studies.
As for the other scoundrel in the Volleyball Club—Kyotani Kentaro—it was better not to mention him.
The reason these two could enter Aoba Johsai was entirely due to special club recruitment; otherwise, relying solely on their academic performance, they would most likely have only been able to go to Karasuno.
Karasuno Duo: "Heh~~ Do you think joining Karasuno means you don't have to take final exams?"
...
...
"Ah-choo~ Ah-choo~" x2
At Karasuno High School, Kageyama Tobio and Hinata Shoyo, who had just finished their final exams and were waiting for the grading teachers to decide their fate, suddenly sneezed in unison.
This scene immediately made Sugawara Koushi, who was nearby, burst into laughter: "Hahaha~~~ Are you two even sneezing together now? Your relationship has become that good!"
Hinata Shoyo: "…"
Kageyama Tobio: "…"
In the past, if someone said they had a good relationship, Hinata Shoyo and Kageyama Tobiowould at least argue for a couple of rounds. However, this time, both of them remained silent.
It wasn't that they weren't giving Sugawara Koushi face; it was mainly because they genuinely weren't in the mood.
Because both of their minds were completely focused on their final exam scores.
"Uh… I mean, you two don't have to be so nervous. The exam is already over, so being nervous won't help! Relax a little! Ah!"
"Okay… Phew!!"
Kageyama Tobio let out a long breath, barely managing to calm himself down a little.
"By the way, Sugawara, does our club have any plans for this summer vacation?"
"Plans?"
Sugawara Koushi was startled, then said, "Isn't summer vacation a time to go home and rest? What plans could there be?"
Kageyama Tobio asked in surprise, "Huh? Does Karasuno not have any training camps or similar plans for the summer?"
"Ah! You mean that! No, we don't!"
Sugawara Koushi directly extinguished Kageyama Tobio's fantasy and explained, "After all, we are a national High School; there's still a big difference in school funding compared to private High Schools!"
By the end of his sentence, although Sugawara Koushi was still smiling, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.
Kageyama Tobio: "…"
Oda Miki, who happened to walk over and hear this conversation: "Pfft~~"
Kageyama Tobio asked in confusion, "Oda, what are you laughing at?"
Oda Miki: "Nothing, I just thought of something happy… Pfft!"
Kageyama Tobio: "What happy thing?"
Oda Miki: "My pet dog recently gave birth? It's triplets."
Kageyama Tobio was even more confused: "Is a dog giving birth really something to be so happy about? It's not your child, is it?"
Oda Miki: "Ah, yes, yes, yes… No, no, no. Although they're not my children, I have a very good relationship with my pet dog, so I'm happy for her!"
"By the way, I just heard you two say that our school doesn't have summer training camps, right?"
"Yes, because the school has no money," Hinata Shoyo suddenly interjected at this point.
"Oh dear~~ That's such a pity!"
Oda Miki said it was a pity, but in reality, if she hadn't been trying hard to hold it in with willpower, she probably would have already burst out laughing.
Being able to slack off for an entire summer vacation, just thinking about it made her happy.
"By the way, Oda, do you know what Aoba Johsai's plans are for this summer?" Kageyama Tobio suddenly asked.
Oda Miki, who was immersed in thoughts of a wonderful summer vacation, instinctively replied, "They're going to the Beach this summer for a month-long training camp."
"What???"
As soon as Oda Miki finished speaking, she heard a deafening scream, and then all the members of the Volleyball Club rushed over in a flurry.
"Oda, what did you just say? Aoba Johsai is having a month-long training camp this summer?"
"You must have misheard, right?"
"Yeah! A month is too long! And it's at the Beach. Is Aoba Johsai High School that rich?"
Seeing the pairs of green, wolf-like eyes around her, Oda Miki was startled and hastily said, "No, I don't think I misheard. I heard it's a reward from Aoba Johsai High School specifically for the Volleyball Club making it to the National Tournament."
"Oh no, oh no, this is terrible!"
"Our school is already no match for Aoba Johsai; if Aoba Johsai trains for another month this time, won't the gap between us and them widen even more?"
"Hey~~ Coach, say something!"
"Don't rush, let me think carefully."
Coach Ukai Keishin was also shocked by this sudden news. Good heavens, a month-long summer training camp, how much money would that cost!
And Oda Miki, seeing everyone at that moment, secretly slapped herself a few times: "Serves you right for having a loose tongue, serves you right for having a loose tongue, why can't you control this mouth?"
Just now she was celebrating that she fortunately didn't go to Aoba Johsai, and now Aoba Johsai was everywhere.
