Even a Sickly Weakling Wants to Keep Playing Volleyball

Complete, with bonus chapters released at random

Fujiwara Nojiki, who has been frail and sickly since childhood, finally makes it to the gates of Inarizaki High School alive.

The boy is looking forward to a fresh start when a spinning volleyball smacks him to the ground with a sudden whack.

At once,

Atsumu, who hasn't won Nationals yet: "Aaaaaaah!"

The newly bound Volleyball Improvement System, which hasn't even confirmed its Host yet: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

They both yell in his ears, "Don't die! Aaaaaaah!"

Fujiwara Nojiki, who had nearly made it halfway across the Bridge of Helplessness before being startled awake by their screams: "???"

After joining the volleyball club, Fujiwara Nojiki resolves to practice hard and try to catch up with his seniors.

So when the Miya twins invite him to practice, eager to outdo each other, he agrees without hesitation, paying no attention to Suna's troubled expression.

He thinks that although the twin seniors can be a little unreliable in everyday life, at least their volleyball skills can be trusted.

Until they start firing serves at him, coldly and without any rhyme or reason.

Are these two planning to murder me or what?

Did I finally make it through the first day of school alive, only to die at their hands today?

Only then does he realize that these two are completely hopeless!

Where are you, Captain Kita? I want to practice with you.

When Fujiwara Nojiki unexpectedly learns that the third-years are about to retire, he becomes anxious and decides to ask his seniors what's going on.

So he follows the two of them all the way home.

When they catch him, Fujiwara Nojiki cries, "Please don't retire, senpai!"

Ojiro Aran: "Even if we retire, there are still second-years."

When Fujiwara Nojiki thinks about the second-years being the only seniors left once the third-years are gone, his expression changes dramatically. He grips Kita and Aran's hands even tighter.

"Then you really can't leave, senpai! Can you stay back a year?"

I can't even imagine what the volleyball club will become once you're gone!

Aran: "You're talking nonsense just to stop us from retiring, aren't you?"

Later, when the volleyball clubs at other schools learn that Inarizaki's first-year used to be sickly,

Bokuto: "What? Fujiwara used to be too sick to play volleyball? That's awful!"

Hinata nods furiously in agreement.

Ushijima: "Playing volleyball despite being unwell isn't a wise choice."

Later still, even the cool guy who wore a mask the first time they met can't help asking him, "I heard... you started playing volleyball, then abandoned it."

Fujiwara Nojiki: "...What are you even talking about?!"

The volleyball world has its own rumor mill.

It isn't until they actually play against this so-called sickly kid that they realize: how can a boy with monstrous strength, who can even block Ushijima's spike, be anything like a sickly kid? He's a T-Rex!

A lighthearted daily life and championship journey for the foxes of Inarizaki.

P.S.

I'm not a professional volleyball player, so any unrealistic parts of the volleyball matches are purely made up by me.

There may be plot holes. The characters in Haikyuu!! are all incredibly charming, and I apologize for any inaccuracies.
