CHAPTER SIXTY - CHALLENGER

"FREE BALL!" Nishinoya shouted out as he received the ball and everyone else started to do the synchronized attack. Kageyama sends the ball towards Daichi, who ended up getting blocked.

Futakuchi clenched onto his stomach as Aone walked over to see if he was okay in which Futakuchi just held up his hand.

The whistle blew as Karasuno was currently in the lead by one point.

Ukai walked over towards Hinata and Kageyama. "Yeah... The best thing for you to do..." He started to say.

"...is to get lost in the crowd, right?" Hinata finished.

"Free ball!"

Date Tech realized Hinata wasn't running up as Karasuno did their synchronized attack once more. Kageyama tosses over towards Asahi who jumps up and spikes the ball.

"Asahi, nice kill!" Seiya complimented as Karasuno had won the set.

TWEEEEEEET!

"All right! A round of diving drills!" Daichi breathed out.

"Daichi, we won." Asahi informed.

"Oh... Force of habit." Daichi stated.

"Seal walk!" Futakuchi shouted out.

The Date Tech members then began walking like a seal. Tsukishima took a drink of his water.

"The amazing thing about Date Tech is that even when Hinata gets in a freak quick attack, they're able to move on from it." Tsukishima pointed out.

"Yeah, it doesn't faze them." Yamaguchi agreed.

"Just because Date Tech is really good at blocking, that doesn't mean they're trying to stop everyone. Even if they can't completely stop an attack, they'll have at least two blockers show up, and they can at least touch Hinata's freak quick attack. Even if they can't fully stop an attack, if they can limit its range, their floor defense will probably get it. And..." Tsukishima paused for a moment. "In the last half of the game, Hinata will be exhausted and get rooted."

"Say what?!" Hinata exclaimed.

"Karasuno will be completely helpless. That's Date Tech's ultimate, ideal story!"

"Hey, what team are you on?" Sugawara questioned.

"The more Hinata scores, the more likely they are to hesitate. But..." Tsukishima trailed off.

"One touch!"

Nishinoya quickly rushes over. "Nishinoya!" Daichi shouted out.

"Got it!" Nishinoya reassured, tossing the ball over towards Kageyama as everyone started doing the synchronized attack once more.

"Until the very last moment..."

"Stay as a possible threat..."

"...until the very end!"

Kageyama tosses the ball towards Daichi, who was able to score a point.

"All right!" Ukai cheered.

"Daichi, nice kill!" Seiya complimented.

Futakuchi jumped up as Hinata and Daichi jumped up to block him.

"That's too far, Kogane!"

"Dink!" Hinata called out.
