Chapter 257 Maintaining Status (4000 words)

Several Qingcheng frontcourt players hugged the backs of their heads in tacit understanding, and then uniformly moved away from the middle of the court.

The action was so fast and neat that even the Jingdashan players on the opposite side couldn't help but look surprised.

Why are you so skilled?

The Qingcheng players glanced at them and didn't respond, but in the next second, the Jingdishan players understood what was going on.

boom!!!

The familiar roar came from the sky above Qingcheng Stadium.

To be honest, for this kind of weird hitting sound, it stands to reason that the people in Jingda Mountain should have gotten used to it after such a long time, but the fact is that from the summer vacation to now, every time the people in Jingda Mountain hear Akashi Asuka

When the smash and serve are heard, the little hearts can't help but flutter.

Woo~~

The flying volleyball is like a big bird. Not only is it extremely fast, but its trajectory in the air is erratic.

Um?

Erratic?

Suddenly, Jingdashan's libero saw Akashi Asuka's ball keep turning in mid-air, and even almost hit the back of his own player's head. His pupils instantly expanded: "Be careful, this is a 'banana ball'!"

Motoya Komori's reminder is definitely timely, but sometimes the speed of sound propagation may not be able to catch up with the speed of the volleyball.

Boom!

There was no surprise at all. He avoided Motoya Komori's [banana jump serve] and easily landed on the court of Jingda Mountain, scoring another point.

9:6.

"OH!!!"

"Well done, Akashi!"

The Jingdashan players were stunned, while everyone in Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then quickly rushed towards Akashi Asuka, cheering loudly in celebration.

Except for Oikawa Tooru who was almost hit by a volleyball just now.

"Hey~~Akashi, do you want to kill me?"

After realizing it later, Oikawa Tooru broke into a cold sweat. It was so scary. The moment he was passed by by the volleyball, he almost heard the sound of an ambulance.

"Sorry, Oikawa-senpai, I will aim a little more next time." Akashi Asuka decisively admitted his mistake.

In fact, Oikawa Toru wasn't really angry at first. After all, Akashi Asuka's serve never hit the target, and all Aoki's teammates knew it, otherwise they wouldn't have practiced such a tacit understanding of [covering the back of the head].

Huh? Wrong?

Akashi Asuka's serve never locks in the direction, and the landing point is random.

So what exactly did he intend to aim at when he just said "aim at a certain point"?

Oikawa Tooru suddenly woke up, feeling as if he had discovered something extraordinary. Just when he was about to question Akashi Asuka, the referee suddenly blew the whistle.

Jing Dashan called the first timeout of the game.

······

"What to do?"

In the Jingda Mountain rest area, Tsuna Iizada, as the captain, took a sip of water and opened his mouth to ask Sakuha Seomi and Komori Motoya.

Understand it.

Although Tsuna Iizho is the captain of Idayama, and as the setter, he is also the soul of the team.

He should have been the one to determine the main tactics to deal with Qingcheng.

But the opponent I faced this time was completely different from before!

As mentioned before the game, today's battle between Jingdishan and Qingcheng has very little effect in terms of tactics and strategies. To be more direct, today's game is a 'star showdown'.

Don't say anything else.

If Jingdashan is unable to restrain Akashi Asuka today, the outcome will most likely be disastrous.

"What if we fight a physical battle? Qingcheng's side currently relies on Akashi Asuka for its main offensive and defensive firepower, while we have two national-level aces..."

I don't know who suddenly came up with such a bad idea. Before he finished speaking, Sakuza Seiomi and Komori Motoya looked at him strangely.

Are you sure you're not an undercover agent sent by the other side?

Fighting physically?

It's a shame you can think of it. I'm afraid you've forgotten how Asuka Akashi was trained physically during the special summer training!

Recalling the time they spent at the beach with Akashi Asuka in the summer, Motoya Komori and Seiko Sakuza felt their scalps numb inexplicably.

I remember when Jingda Mountain first entered the beach in Miyagi Prefecture.

A group of people are full of enthusiasm and devote themselves to training, for no other reason than to win a few fewer games and run a few fewer laps [500-meter cross-country running].

But what did Akashi Asuka do?

This ungrateful bastard just lost the game and went for a run. What the hell, he actually won the game and followed the losing team with a penalty run.

And the first run is at least a one-thousand-meter cross-country start.

Take a look.

Is this something that humans can do?

And as the ace of Jingda Mountain, one of the top three aces in the country, and the number one libero in the country, he has already watched others train more than him, how can he remain indifferent?

So later.

After almost every training session, ordinary players from the four teams of Jingda Mountain, Qingcheng, Uzaka, and Shiratorizawa can see the ace players of their own teams running for extra practice under the sunset.

Rolling up all the players of the four teams with one person's power, this is what Asuka Akashi did in the summer.

Until now.

Sakuza Seomi and Komori Genya still feel shuddering when they think about the extra training during the summer vacation.

You know, it would be fine if it was just for extra practice, but what really frightens these people is that everyone is doing extra practice together on the first day.

But by the next day, everyone else felt exhausted and sore all over. But Akashi Asuka, a freak, acted like a normal person, training with the team, and then continued to practice more, and the cycle continued...

Since that day.

Although the players from the three teams of Shiratorizawa, Kosaka and Idayama didn’t say it, deep down in their hearts, they had silently crossed out the tactic of ‘physical warfare’ from the ‘tactical board against Qingcheng’.

"That was really an unforgettable past!"

Komori Yuan also sighed, obviously recalling some not-so-wonderful things.

"Captain, Shengchen, leave Akashi's offense to me! Give me three goals, and I will be able to catch his smash rhythm," Motoya Komori said.

"Is there any problem?" Sakuzao Shengchen also rarely expressed concern.

"Hahaha... It's rare to hear such words from your mouth, Holy Minister! But don't worry! Although the guys in Qingcheng have made amazing progress since the summer, we didn't waste it in vain.

A few months!”

······

Beep~~~

The referee blew the whistle again, and the players from Qingcheng and Jingdashan teams returned to the field.

As soon as they returned to the court this time, Oikawa Toru and others immediately noticed the changes in many Jingdaoshan players: "Huh? Did they stabilize their morale so quickly? It's really Jingdaoshan!"

before suspending.

Although Jingdashan's momentum is relatively stable, it has been suppressed by Qingcheng continuously. The dignity of being a 'king' still makes Jingdashan players feel a little more impetuous and stressed.

But now, after just a short 60-second pause, he has regained his composure so quickly.

"Well!! But this doesn't mean much to us. After all, this monster of mine can no longer use timeouts to interrupt the touch. Maybe even after this timeout, his condition will improve!"

Oikawa Toru's murmur will naturally not be heard by the Jingdashan players, but in fact it doesn't make much difference whether they can hear it or not.

Because the moment Asuka Akashi stood on the teeing ground again, the expressions of all the Jingdashan players changed instantly.

"What's going on? This guy's momentum..."

Since Idayama's coach would choose to pause at this time, he naturally had carefully studied Akashi Asuka's characteristics.

Through videos of past games.

Idayama's coach found that although Akashi Asuka's serve was sharp and fierce, if he suddenly paused the game when he was at his hottest, there would be a nearly 60% chance of directly interrupting Akashi Asuka's touch.

This is also the reason why Jing Dashan chose to suspend the game after the second ball was served.

But now, after a 60-second pause, Akashi Asuka's aura not only has not cooled down, but seems to have become even higher. Why is this?

All the Jingdashan players were filled with doubts, but this was no longer the time for them to think.

Because at this time, Akashi Asuka had already thrown the volleyball high into the sky. Seeing this almost perfect throw, the entire body of Jingdashan tensed up instantly.
