The Nekoma Manager Can Do Anything

Passerby A: Who's Nekoma's setter? A red-haired boy in the crowd raised his hand, drawing out his words in a listless voice. "Over here, " Passerby A: And the manager? The same red-haired boy, with the same languid drawl: "That's me, " Passerby A: And the coach! Still the same red-haired boy, still speaking in a listless drawl: "I count for that too, " Passerby A: What is your deal, anyway? Who are you? "I'm the libero, desu, " Yaku Morisuke, at the end of his patience: What kind of libero are you supposed to be?! * (The red-haired boy grabs the camera.) Ahem, hello there! My name is Aoshika Xingtian, Aoshika Xingtian. It isn't pronounced Hoshi Ten, but by the kanji, "Xingtian." I'm a first-year at Nekoma High, and the volleyball club's backup setter, manager, and coach all rolled into one, Ahem, ahem! I've been warming the bench the whole time and have never played in a match, but I'm a good setter. Ahem, ahem! It's fine, don't worry. (Wipes away the blood he coughed up.) I probably won't die inside your phones. Probably. * Aoshika Xingtian, the crowned conductor who has never played in a match. Most of his career so far has been spent warming the bench, but few people truly believe he's nothing special. His cool-headed, real-time analysis from the sidelines, swiftly optimized strategies tailored to the opposition, and concise on-court instructions all serve one goal: getting closer to one word, "victory." * "I'm a brain-six, you know." Aoshika Xingtian flashed a wicked grin. "Do you even understand the value of a brain-six?!" Just a sickly Nekoma manager here! The story will probably be in third person. The everyday matches are about fifty-fifty, but they shouldn't affect the main plot much. Xingtian's a brain-six, but I'm absolutely not. ( ) I don't know much about volleyball, so there may be dumb, Mary Sue-ish descriptions. There might be strange mixtures of Japanese, English, and Chinese, and perhaps some romanized Japanese, but it should all be easy enough to understand. They're words that come up often in the anime. I haven't researched the period, so there may be lots of things that didn't exist on the Japanese internet or games that weren't around back then. Just imagine they live in the same era as us... Finally, about the character profile: I originally made a graphic based on the official five-stat pages, but the site wouldn't allow text in character cards and blocked it. Anyway, check my profile. That's all. Hope you enjoy reading! Theme: There's always a place for you
