The Natural Opposite Hitter of Nekoma

[Synopsis]

Nekoma’s volleyball team recently gained a genius middle blocker. He had incredible court awareness, a powerful sense of space, and eyes that could see right through his opponents.

Against a quick attack, he instantly became a top predator at the net, shutting down every route. Against a powerful spike, he precisely drew the opposing attacker into hitting toward the main defender. He was a true “demon” at the net!

Kenma Kozume: “...He’s like a boss who put all his skill points into predicting the other team’s moves. Good thing he’s not our opponent.”

Yaku Morisuke: “That block setup was beautiful! You’re every libero’s dream teammate! Rin, what do you want to eat today? Your senpai’s treating!”

Lev Haiba: “Kakukawa-senpai! Teach me how you do that thing where you ‘look once and send the other team’s ball straight back home’!”

Tetsuro Kuroo expertly grabbed the scruff of a certain big cat trying to escape. “Come on, Nekoma’s genius middle blocker. Today, the captain himself will tutor you. We’ll start with math, and the volleyball tactics lecture can be your break.”

Kakukawa, struggling: “I’d rather block Ushijima!”

Kuroo, smiling: “Ushijima won’t ask you about trigonometric functions. I will.”

“So, let’s start with memorizing your texts, ”

“Kuroo-senpai, are you a demon?!”

Nekoma’s volleyball team has a well-known secret.

Don’t say words like “convenient,” “easy,” or “arrange” around Rin Kakukawa.

Say one, and the next second he’ll have organized a full-service package: a team of pastry chefs, a fleet of cars, a private beach booking, a full-band cheer squad, or even buying an island for training camp.

Kakukawa: I’m going to support the entire volleyball team!!!
