Crouch, Bind, Set! (All Out!! x Reader)

12: Start

The second team was going fine too, until the rope stopped them too.

And the third..

And the fourth..

But when it was Gion's turn, he didn't have a problem when dodging the ropes because he didn't have to duck that much, thanks to his height.

However, when Ebumi passed him the ball, he failed to pay attention and ran into a pole.

"You guys will start by getting used to crouching low. At the same time, you'll dodge posts placed at five meter intervals. A low profile and peripheral vision. If you want to win with a smaller team, you'll have to master these skills first." Komori explained his intentions.

"Ah, so that's his plan."

...

"Take a three-minute break." that was the signal for the players to rest and for the managers to pass around the water bottles and towels.

It wasn't long before the break was done and the players were back on the field.

"Next we will split into the forwards and the backs. I will coach the forwards first." Komori instructed and the boys split into their groups. He gave some instructions to the backs to do something while they wait their turn before heading towards the forwards.

"Everyone start with the turtle." he said and everyone groaned before getting into position.

Komori called over Hirota to the side and made the others be in rows.

"Form is everything for forwards. Master it. Stomachs down. Don't let your heads drop. Butt cheeks pointing towards the sky." he said before looking down at Hirota, who he was sitting on as the latter was doing the turtle. "Can you hear me? Don't slack off." "You bastard!" He shouted in anger, but was ignored.

"Your neck muscles are important, too."

After practicing the turtle, they were given a short break before moving onto practicing their tackling with the tackle bag.

"Remember the form you used during the string exercise. You can go lower...that's it. Good. Next." he told Kasuga when it was his turn and moved on to the next player.

"Hey, front row." the older man called to the trio, "Get in scrum formation."

The players were silently questioning his intentions but did as told anyway. While they were getting into said position, Komori called two other people to join them for the scrum practice.

"What's going on?" Shinshi asked after hooking his arm around Hachioji, However, he wasn't able to receive an answer when a force suddenly hit them on their back the next second.

"Who is it?!" "We're collapsing! We're collapsing!"

"Raita! Be careful!" (Y/n) scolded the male since he practically jumped onto them. Their coach had called them separately so that they could act as weights for the front row.

"That's not enough to crush you. You're the front row." Komori said and joined in being the weight as he sad down on Hirota's back. "Aren't you the strongest guys on the team? Hey, go sit down on him." he pointed his fan towards the manager who still was standing on her two feet.

She hesitated for a few seconds before heading to the only spot left. "Shinshi, I'm sorry." she apologized in advance before taking a seat on his back. He wanted to reassure her it's fine, but he couldn't when he was busy focusing on keeping his balance. Meanwhile, Hirota was able to voice out his annoyance with a loud "Dammit!"

"You're the team's front line. You've got to be strong enough to carry the entire team on your backs."

The only sounds they could hear were the groans and shouts of the players around the field for the next few seconds before Hirota decided to speak. "Then, bring any one of 'em here and we'll carry 'em!"

Komori didn't hesitate to respond, "Good. Captain, come here." Sekizan actually heard the call and turned to the coach.

"What? We can't carry him! No way! No way!"

...

After the (embarrassing) moment, (Y/n) and Umeno informed the coach that they would be heading to the Home Economics room once again to make dinner for the boys. Hachioji-san and Kamo-san had gone home to their families, so it was now the managers' responsibility to cook for them.

They actually went up to the room and realized they didn't have enough ingredients to make dinner. So with another trip to the field to inform their coach about heading out, they went to the nearest supermarket

"Are you alright with carrying all those groceries, Umeno?" the two had just finished grocery shopping and they bought a lot more ingredients than they thought they needed. With a team like that, they both had 1 bag filled with food in each hand. (Y/n) actually had 2 in one hand and one in the other, but she still looked out for her junior.

"I'm fine, (Y/n)-senpai. I think I should be the one asking if you're alright." Umeno replied.

With a bit more walking and a bit more chit-chatting, they finally arrived back at the school. Quickly keeping the ingredients on the counter, the two went to work making dinner. Fortunately it didn't take long for them to finish and it was right on the dot of the end of their training. They even managed to set up the plates and cutlery on the counters just like for lunch.

"Let's call the boys up. They must be tired and starving." (Y/n) and Umeno then went back down to the field to see how they were doing.

From afar, they could see Hachioji dragging Oharano by his arm to Shinshi and Hirota. Someone placed their headgear onto Oharano's head and the 2 Props positioned themselves below Oharano's arms and hooked their own around him. Waiting for a couple of seconds, the two of them charged towards the scrum machine and all the managers could hear was Oharano exclaiming, "It's hot, it's cramped, and it stinks!"

"...Eh?"
