No matter how much you scold in your heart, it's useless, but fortunately, after sleeping for a while, Ryo Hoshino is a little more energetic now.

He spotted an opportunity and quickly glanced around.

Well? This time, it seems that there are only one or two people in Toru Kagawa and Iwaizumi. Is it practicing?

Thinking like this, Ryo Hoshino had already walked back to the venue with his arms in his arms. Without stopping for long, Toru Kazukawa began to serve. So, Ryo Hoshino once again experienced the feeling of just taking off.

Ryo Hoshino, who was dizzy: "......"

No, isn't this serve a bit outrageous? In the previous match, Toru Kagawa's serve didn't seem like this, right? Why does it feel stronger than the previous one?

With Toru Kazukawa's serve again and again, Ryo Hoshino confirmed that the opponent was practicing a new serve, and the mastery level was not very high for the time being, and the probability of failure was quite high.

However, when it is successful, this serve must be quite strong.

It's like breaking someone's hand.

Recalling the serves he had been targeted at in his last match, the corners of Ryo Hoshino's mouth twitched.

Wait a minute.

Something suddenly occurred to him.

If Toru Kazukawa is practicing this serve now, then doesn't it mean that this is the kind of ball he will receive in the spring high school qualifiers in two months?!

Ryo Hoshino froze as if he had been struck by lightning, and his pupils shook.

Will he really survive this serve?!

"Good morning, Hoshino." Hanhe Jiang Yong sat down in his seat and turned his head, "Did you make the math finale yesterday?" I didn't figure it out for a long time, so you can show me your solution. ”

Ryo Hoshino handed him the homework book on the table: "This question is a bit interesting, there are irrelevant conditions to confuse the vision, and I didn't do it at first." ”

"Thank you." Han Hejiang took the notebook and began to study it.

Ryo Hoshino was holding an English book in his hand and memorizing the words to be written silently in today's class, and while memorizing it, the picture from last night's dream began to flash in his mind again.

He's been thinking about this since he woke up in the morning. His receiving skills are at the bottom of the starters, and it is impossible for opponents to not grasp such an obvious weakness without making a fuss. If Toru Kagawa is really practicing that perverted vigorous jump, then he will definitely use it in the next competition.

In this way, isn't the most rubbish self with the most catching skills the opponent's primary target?

Ryo Hoshino was shocked at the thought of this. If he didn't know, how could he just treat it as if he didn't see it?

If he wants to avoid this situation, there is only one way, and that is to improve his receiving skills.

But doesn't that mean he's going to have to add catching to his long study list?

"Tsk!!"

“？！” Han Hejiang in front of him was startled by this impatient chirp.

Who provoked their big demon again? He thought to himself. It shouldn't be yourself, right? Could it be that he was caught secretly practicing with Akakura after the end of the work yesterday?

General Hanhe Jiang Yong was brainstorming, and the silver-haired young man behind him suddenly slapped the table: "No!" I still can't sit still! ”

Hanhejiang: "? ”

Think about it

After wanting to fight, Ryo Hoshino finally made up his mind.

So, after the daily training of the team, Hoshino walked over to the boy who was resting on the side.

"Captain! Will you be able to wait? ”

Ushijima stopped drinking water, was silent, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I," Ryo Hoshino shouted with a look of death, "I want to practice hair extensions with you!" ”

Tiantong Jue next door: "...... Burst. ”

Yamagata Hayato: "Huh. ”

Taichi Kawanishi: "Wow. ”

Hearing this, Washmaster Forji snorted. This kid finally wants to practice his miserable catch.

The big ace silently put down the water bottle in his hand and walked towards the court.

Ryo Hoshino looked confused: "?? "Is this agreement or non-agreement?

"Keep up." Tian Tong Jue patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Isn't it to practice?" ”

Well?!

The little silver fur raised his head suddenly, and immediately trotted over, obediently following behind his captain. Soon, the two began practicing.

"-Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!!"

Whether he received it or not, Ryo Hoshino adjusted himself as soon as possible, and then stared at the boy opposite. He didn't shout to stop, and Ushijima Ruoli didn't stop, and the two of them practiced ball after ball.

"Ugh!!"

The ball hit the forearm and floated high. If it's a game, then this goal can be considered a good pass.

Ryo Hoshino's eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked excitedly at Ushijima Wakari on the opposite side. The other party was also looking at him, and the expression on his face didn't change, but Ryo Hoshino didn't know why he felt that he should be in a good mood.

Ushijima Wakari put down the ball in his hand, and Ryo Hoshino, who was hitting Xing's head, was stunned when he saw this.

"It's time for you to go." The boy said calmly.

When Ryo Hoshino heard this, he immediately looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, and then gasped.

"Indeed!" He hurriedly said, "Thank you captain for playing with me for so long!" Captain, do you still want to practice? If I'm not practicing, I'll put the ball away—"

"It's fine."

"That,

Then I'll go first. Thank you! ”

Ushijima Ruoli watched the silver-haired boy bow, then trotted to the sidelines, picked up his water bottle and towel, and rushed out of the field, and soon disappeared.

There were still many people in the gymnasium, and Ushijima left the gym after putting away all the balls in their field. After changing his clothes, Lei started his daily long-distance run without moving.

Although Ryo Hoshino has to practice, in fact, serving so many balls in a row is also a great drain on his physical strength. Therefore, in order to prevent excessive exercise, Wari Ushijima changed the route of running today.

The temperature in June is not very high, and the wind brings up a cool feeling when you run. After slowly getting into the state, Ushijima Ruoli increased his speed a little. Today's time was later than usual, and by the time he got to the back of the race, it was already half dark.

The street lights and neon lights on the side of the street are lit up. The number of pedestrians on the road has also begun to increase.

Ushijima Wakari is not disturbed by external objects at all, and only focuses on his breathing and movements. After turning right at the intersection

, he mentally calculated that there should be about ten minutes away from the school.

With that in mind, he adjusted his pace. The boy who was about to speed up at the end of the day made a move when he saw a familiar figure, and at the same time, the other party also saw him.

"Captain!"

Ryo Hoshino immediately jumped up.

Ushijima Ruoli slowly stopped, looked at the rice ball in his hand, and did not speak.

"I'm really embarrassed, I was in a hurry to leave, and I didn't clean up the court."

Ryo Hoshino scratched his face, "Are you going to run back to school?" ”

"Hmm."

Ryo Hoshino let out a "high" sound, and he didn't know what to say for a while. The two fell silent again.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Ushijima Ruoli just wanted to say goodbye, but saw that the silver-haired boy seemed to suddenly think of something, said "Captain, you wait", and ran into the convenience store. Half a minute later, the other party ran out again, holding a bottle of sports drink in his hand.

"Captain, you can take this bottle back and drink it, it contains electrolytes." The boy smiled, "Today has taken up a lot of your practice time, thank you for your willingness to practice with me." ”

"Nope."

When the young man saw him take the thing, his expression was a little hesitant: "That, ...... tomorrow"

"Tomorrow, can we practice together?" He was a little embarrassed, "I feel that my catch is really bad, if I don't practice, I will still be targeted by the opponent in the next game." ”

Ushijima was silent: "Yes, yes. ”

"Really!"

The boy looked up at him, his eyes lit up slightly.

Ushijima saw his reflection in the clear amber color.

Ryo Hoshino was so excited that he was about to jump up, and he rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a lemon candy in his right pants pocket. He stuffed the candy into the boy's hand: "This is a thank you gift, thank you captain!" ”

Wasn't that a thank you gift just now?

Ushijima Wakari was a little puzzled, but didn't ask. didn't wait for them to talk again, Shibasaki Katsu inside poked his head out: "Xiao Liang, I've ordered the goods." ”

"Okay, right away." Hoshino Ryo responded, and then said to Ushijima Wakari, "Captain, I'll go to work first, see you tomorrow!" ”

"Hmm."

Ten minutes away is not far, plus just stopped to rest, Ushijima Ruoli increased the speed, and it didn't take ten minutes to arrive. After stretching and returning to the dormitory, he took out all the things in his clothes as he prepared to take a shower.

When he saw the candy, the boy's movements paused, and for some reason, a pair of bright amber eyes suddenly appeared in front of him.

Ushijima sat down in a chair, opened the candy, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Sour.

He thought blankly.

However, the inside of the extreme sour is sweet and silky. The strong contrast makes that bit of sweetness seem particularly luscious.

Ushijima doesn't like sugar.

But this candy, he thinks it's not bad.

As the end of the semester approached, the atmosphere of the whole school became solemn. Shiratorizawa attaches great importance to sports, but also to academic performance. Therefore, every student was in the spirit of 12 points when facing this final exam.

Ryo Hoshino, who is aiming for a scholarship, is fully committed to his studies.

What? Isn't there 300,000 in the volleyball club?

Joke. 300,000 didn't get it again. Besides, who would be afraid of a lot of money :D

So, in the continuous repetition of learning, practicing, learning, and practicing, 1 month passed quickly. The much-anticipated final exam arrived.

Because there are many subjects, it took four full days for the final exam to come to an end.

After the end of the last course, Hanhe Jiang Yong collapsed on his seat with a pair of panda eyes, and said angrily: "Finally...... It's finally over......"

The five-color worker was curious: "Your grades are not bad, why are you so tired in the final exam?" ”

"Leave him alone, he's been dead like this since he was in the country." Ryo Hoshino said.

The paralyzed salted fish fluttered to his feet, angry: "What do you know! No matter how good your grades are, you won't like the exam! ”

Hoshino nodded matter-of-factly: "Reasonable, stand down." ”

Han Hejiang cast a resentful look: "Anyway, the final exam is over, is it going to start-"

Hoshino was cold for a moment, and glanced at the five-color worker.

Yes, the end of the final exam means that there is less than a month left before the National Sports Conference.

National Convention......

Ryo Hoshino held his chin.

- Doesn't that mean that his 300,000 is close at hand?!!
