In Ushijima Wakatoshi's third year in junior high school, the Shiratorizawa Academy High School had just won the runner-up place in the national competition at IH.
But half a year later, Shiratorizawa barely made it to the top 16 in the country.
Another half year later, he walked into the volleyball club of the high school. There was a lone figure standing on the wide court, with used volleyballs piled at his feet. Hearing the voice, the man glanced over, his slanted eyebrows losing their indifference and taking on a less serious smile.
"The important player in the volleyball club is free of charge... Ah, isn't this my dear little ace?"
Ushijima Wakali blinked, "Hello, senior."
"Hey, there's no need to use honorifics. Why don't you, your senior, just give me a few balls to show me?"
Ushijima Wakali walked in, and the two people who had never met but knew each other's names did not stop their monotonous spike training until the others arrived belatedly.
After seeing the person clearly, Coach Washi was furious, "How many times have I told you not to let me into the gym until I'm injured! Are you looking for a beating, Kazama?!"
"Spare me this time, coach."
The person next to Ushijima Wakali took a step forward and raised his hands in surrender.
"After all, I really want to meet our future ace."
Ushijima Wakahiro thinks that he is lying.

Kazamano, a third-year student from Shiratorizawa, was the best setter in IH last year and claims to be the number one backdoor player in the volleyball club.
Coach Washi is dedicated to cultivating super aces and building a team with the ace as the core and everyone else serving the ace. The setter he likes must also be calm and rational, and be ready to dedicate himself to the ace at all times.
Kazamano is the exact opposite of his preferred type.
He is usually casual and friendly to people. He continues to be the most wanted friend and the most wanted person in Shiratorizawa. He receives three times as many love letters as other people. During training, there are not only girls but also boys watching his admirers——
After standing on the court, Kazamano became a different person.
——Cold, rational, and strong in control, the court became a chessboard under his control, and the cavalry and soldiers were all used by him to pieces with swords and guns. He gave all attackers the same trust and induced them to reveal their initiative.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. After Ushijima Wakatoshi became the ace, Kazamano, who had been vaguely the core in the previous games, was in an embarrassing situation.
Led by the red-haired monster, everyone in Shiratorizawa even began to bet on who would be better among these two people who were unwilling to be inferior to others. But to their surprise, the two people actually got along honestly.
... Is this really the case?

Conquer me, or be conquered by me.
Demining:
1. Judging from the copywriting, CP looks like a cow, the story of Shiratorizawa
2. I'm not sure if I can write about the tension. I don't distinguish between upper and lower positions, because what I'm writing is the process of determining the upper and lower positions.
3. The protagonist is two years older than Ushijima, so he does not participate in the original plot. There are many original parts and some private settings.
4. Not long, one year is over
5. According to the usual practice, add a special label "a passionate competitive game in a non-traditional sense"
Intention: A short but intense year.
