As usual, Karasuno's male volleyball team was just on their after school training routine. Coach Ukai would teach them some techniques, Takeda-sensei would jot down notes when he learns new phrases used in volleyball, and their manager, Kiyoko, would write notes regarding the players' changes, Coach Ukai's strategies, and help out the team by giving them water, towels, or maybe lending out a hand to toss for them.

While the players were busy training and even fooling around, maybe improve their special skills as well. The coach was talking to their manager to write down his strategies and to the club adviser as well. Until,

"Excuse me," A girl's voice spoke from the gym's door.

The whole volleyball club got interrupted because they didn't recognize the voice and looked at the girl by the door. Immediately not recognizing the girl, Takeda-sensei made his way to the door. While Nishinoya and Tanaka already had shocked faces as well as Tsukishima and Yamaguchi.

Takeda-sensei arriving, the unknown female student bowed in respect as a greeting and Takeda did as well.

"By any chance... are Tsukishima and Yamaguchi here?" She asked the male teacher in front of her. He could notice some hints of sadness in her eyes.

He nodded and introduced himself, "I'm the adviser of the volleyball club. And yes, they are."

She showed little embarrassment at her being disrespectful, "Ah, yes, I'm sorry. I'm L/N F/N. Yamaguchi's cousin and Tsukishima's friend."

"It IS her!!" Nishinoya and Tanaka raised their voices in ultimate shock. They immediately ran to the entrance with their phones, "C-Can we take a photo with you, Y/N-chan?!!"

"I would love to, but..." She hesitated as her eyes wandered around the gym. She didn't want to be rude to them but, it was not a good time.

"Y/N..." Tsukishima breathed out in surprise. "Y/N-chan..." Yamaguchi as well.

Once she heard their voices calling her she drops her bag and ran to them. Tsukishima was frozen shocked when she buried her face in his chest and starts crying. Yamaguchi softly pats her back when he noticed while Tsukishima just wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

"Ah, you guys made her cry." Sugawara pointed out to Nishinoya and Tanaka.

"We did?!"

—

The whole volleyball team watched as you and Yamaguchi walked beside each other while Tsukishima followed behind.

In the end, Coach Ukai and Takeda-sensei approved both of players leave early with you.

"Who is she anyway?" Hinata wondered. The others followed his question and wondered as well, while Takeda-sensei answered them by saying you're Yamaguchi's cousin and Tsukishima's friend.

"Then why do you guys know her?" Daichi asked Tanaka and Nishinoya.

"Huh? You guys seriously don't know her?!" Tanaka said in surprise.

"Her name is L/N F/N! She's the famous new ace of Sakaiminato Girls High School!" Nishinoya answered with confidence.

"Woah, really?! An ACE?!" Hinata had star eyes. He really just admires ace players. "W-What sport?" Kageyama asked in surprise as well, but trying to regain his cool.
