CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO - PLACE TO PLAY

TERUSHIMA'S TEAM DECIDED THAT THEY would be receiving as Karasuno was going to serve first. Seiya could tell that everyone was nervous as it was the qualifiers. "Those are so awesome!" Hinata exclaimed, making everyone turn to him. "Your new glasses look so cool, Tsukishima!"

This made Seiya blink as he looked towards Tsukishima and was a little surprised to see he was wearing professional glasses instead of his normal ones.

"You've been saying that nearly every day, Hinata." Yamaguchi mumbled, as Tsukishima gave the orange-haired male his usual annoyed look.

"Hinata, your standards of "cool" make me uneasy, so I'd like for you to stop saying that." Tsukishima informed, making Hinata irked.

"What was that?"

Seiya chuckled as he walked on over. "Shoyo isn't wrong, Kei. You do look pretty badass." He complimented.

"Not you too, Akashi-san..." Tsukishima muttered as Seiya snickered in amusement before joining the other third-years.

"What's up with the first-years putting on braver faces than us?" Daichi commented.

"The third-years can't just sit here cowering, either." Sugawara added, placing a hand on his hip.

"All right!"

TWEEEET!

Karasuno lined up by their number, staring at Johzenji High as the whistle blew.

TWEEEET!

"Let's have a good game!"

The sounds of Johzenji cheering could be heard as Seiya focused onto Ukai who gathered the team around before the game officially started.

"We're finally at the qualifiers. And we're up against a semifinalist from the Inter-High preliminaries. I see good competition. For the first shot, give it you got Azumane!" Ukai spoke as the ace nodded.

Daichi gestured to have everyone get into a circle. "Karasuno fight!" He exclaimed.

"Yeah!" His team shouted back in unison. Seiya was on the court with Tanaka on the sidelines.

"Asahi, nice serve!"

Seiya glanced towards the referee who blows the whistle making Asahi do his jump serve, the ball reached the other players as it goes into the air. Seiya saw Terushima race after the ball.

"Chance ball!" Kageyama shouted. Seiya widened his eyes when he saw Terushima had jumped up and managed to spike the ball from all the way back of his side of the court, making Johzenji get a point while Karasuno was shocked at the sudden action.

The crowd cheered as Seiya blinked. "A strong hit from the end line? On top of that, it was right after a quick spin." He mumbled as Tsukishima glanced at him.

"Normally, you'd return it with an underhand pass." Tsukishima added as Seiya nodded in agreement before turning his attention back on the game.

Johzenji serves the ball as it comes over to Karasuno's side. "Got it!" Asahi said as he receives the volleyball.
