[Haikyuu!!] Secrets of the Boys' Volleyball Locker Room

#Partially fictional setting! Please don't apply it to reality!!!

Xu Jingqiu has had a startling capacity for destruction since childhood. His parents worried about him at home, his teachers at school, and his youth training coaches at the gym.

As he grew older, this happened less and less. It was as if he'd finally wised up. Everyone was moved to see Xu Jingqiu finally grow into a normal person.

In the new season, Xu Jingqiu joins the Luwan Future men's volleyball club, where the locker room is a complete mess.

Teammates are at each other's throats over an affair with a teammate's wife. The coach flies into a rage over the team's poor results. Players publicly voice their dissatisfaction, and tensions simmer between the players and the coach. The chaos has nearly torn everyone's lives apart.

Xu Jingqiu alone is unaffected. He takes the war-torn locker room and soars to new heights.

At the awards ceremony after the season ends, Xu Jingqiu accepts his MVP medal and takes questions from the press:

"That? I don't know. They just suddenly started fighting." Asked about his goal for returning to the national team, Xu Jingqiu answers, "The VNL and Asian Championship this year, then next year's VNL and World Cup, and the Olympics the year after... Yeah, pretty busy. One step at a time. We're going for the championship!"

It was my first time watching the VNL, the Volleyball Nations League, and my nationality was at war with my blood pressure. The Asian Championship and Asian Games are both potential disasters this year. I realized the players involved in these scandals might skip the 2028 LA Olympics and go straight into training for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics, and I was so delighted that I decided to start writing this.

Content warning: The protagonist has no romantic pairing, but that doesn't mean no one else will fall for him!! The domestic setting is fictionalized and recast as clubs, while the international side stays as it is. The players are also based on reality.
