[Even with fewer than ten full subscribers, you can still unlock 80,000 free bonus words! Please support the official release!] A genius setter has joined Aoba Johsai… But why has this genius setter switched to playing as an ace? After scoring three spikes in a row, he even smugly says, “It’s my first time playing as an ace. Turns out it’s this easy?” Then the genius turns around and meets Oikawa Toru’s icy gaze. Oikawa Toru hates geniuses, especially arrogant, conceited ones like this. So he steps onto the court himself and succeeds in bullying the genius until he cries. So what if he cries? Oikawa says coldly, “Don’t think I’m going to comfort you.” One day, he comes home and sees the boy who has moved in next door practicing spikes in his own yard all night, until his wrist is swollen with blood and dawn is breaking. The next day, the boy shows up at the volleyball gym wearing a wrist brace, holding his head high as everyone heaps praise on him. His expression is haughty. “Does a genius need to practice?” Oikawa Toru: Not sure. I’ll keep watching. Later, one night, he opens the window and calls down to the boy secretly training below. “Hey, Kazama Haruka, does a genius need to practice?” The boy startles, eyes going wide, and tears instantly stream down his face. Oikawa’s heart gives a hard thump. He scrambles out the window to comfort him. Later, during the IH qualifiers, Kazama Haruka secretly eats fruit candy in the locker room to calm his nerves. Someone snatches it from him and pops it into his own mouth! “Give it back!” “How…?” Kazama Haruka’s mind goes blank. He lifts his chin and chases after it. Later still, at the national tournament, they use the excuse of calming their nerves to kiss in the dim locker room, lips and tongues entwined. “That’s enough… I’m not nervous anymore.” “But it’s my first time making it to nationals, so I’m nervous~” Note: Romance takes up a large portion of the story. The match scenes aren’t professionally written, and there are many author-created details. The timeline follows the IH. 60% anti-piracy protection.
