Kageyama:What do you mean?

Daichi:Well, the thing with Hinata is that we have better wing spikers, no offense

Hinata:None taken!

Daichi:I'm not too sure what we could do with him

Kageyama:Our best bet would be to bench him and use him in case one of our wing spikers get hurt

Kageyama:Our best bet would be to bench him and use him in case one of our wing spikers get hurt

"Why not middle blocker or something?"

Daichi:Middle blocker? That would be a job for someone like Tsukishima

"Although he is tall, any height Hinata doesn't have his jump makes up for, it would also be expected for the opposing team to think he's just there so we have enough players, kind of like a secret weapon"

Daichi:Ah, I get it, alright, after you finish eating head home, we have a big day tomorrow

*TIMESKIP*

The volleyball team is sitting down in the gym listening to their captain

Daichi:I want to use Kageyama and Hinata as a set, and Tsukishima is one of our only tall players, I want to see how you fight against Seijoh

Tsukishima:Ok

Yamaguchi:I'm the only first-year out of the loop

Tanaka:More importantly, you're using Hinata in a position where height matters!?

Hinata:Middle blocker?

"We talked about this yesterday, there's nothing new to know?"

Tanaka:Oh.....yeah pshhhh right, we talked about this already

Hinata:Oh, yeah...hehe

"You weren't listening much were you?"

Hinata:Hehe, sorry, more importantly, I'm in the same position as that lanky jerk Tsukishima!?

Takeda:Oh, j-just a second, can I read up on the positions?

Takeda:Setter: The control tower that tosses for spikes, and organizes the offense. Wing spiker: An all-around, well balanced player who attacks the core of the opponents. Middle blocker: He defends against the opponent's offense, and scores points, mainly using quick attacks, furthermore, he plays the decoy to draw the opponent's blockers away. Would you say these are right?

Daichi:There are other exclusively defensive positions, too, but for now, those are all

Kageyama:Listen, Hinata, you're the ultimate decoy

Hinata stands up in excitement

Hinata:The ultimate.....decoy? There's something uninspiring about that

Kageyama:We'll let you score lots of points using quick attacks, and direct the opponent's blockers' attention to you, that's when the other spikers will come into play

Hinata:Oh

Kageyama:Big guys like Tsukishima will fall like idiots to your movements, that'll feel good, won't it?

Hinata:I like it! I like it a lot!

Yamaguchi:Hey, you're not calling Tsukki and idiot, are you?

'I'm intrigued to see where this is going'

Tsukishima:Shut up, Yamaguchi

Yamaguchi:Sorry, Tsukki (A/N gOmeN)

Kageyama:On the other hand, if you're not effective, know that the other attacks will all fail

"Only the fate of our outcome is on our hands, no pressure"

Hinata:All fail....All fail....All fail

"I think we broke him"

Tanaka:What about blocking, though? Even if he can jump high, the taller players will reach the highest point of their jump faster

Kageyama:Yes, the reason we want Hinata to be the focus of blockers isn't to smack down the opponent's spikes, but to touch them, with Hinata's crazy reflexes and speed, he can touch the opponent's spikes, and slow down their momentum

"So we can set the pace to our advantage"

Kageyama:Correct, we can use that and make our counterattack

Tanaka:I'm not gonna go that smoothly right off the bat

Daichi:It probably won't

Tanaka:Huh?

Daichi:Right off the bat, anyway, but we should still try it, maybe we'll learn something as we go along, it's a practice match, after all

Tanaka:Right

Daichi:Anyway, for in-air battles, we've go Tsukishima, Kageyama, and (L/N), who can match Hinata's jumps, so, Hinata, have confidence and-

Hinata:Yes, I'll do my best! I'll score lots of points, I'll be a decoy, I'll serve, block, quick, everything!

Daichi:Hey, hey, calm down!

"You totally broke him"

Daichi:He blew a fuse! Hinata blew a fuse!

*TIMESKIP*

??:Oh, Sawamura!

Daichi:Hey, Michimiya, what?

Michimiya:I heard you're having a match against Seijoh tomorrow? I'm surprised they agreed to it

Daichi:Yeah, Takeda-sensei did the hard work for us, and with (L/N)-san we have a good chance of winning

Michimiya:That's great and all, but, aren't you scared?

Michimiya:Seijoh was in the prefecture's top four last year, weren't they?

Daichi:So were we, but we still need Nishinoya and Asahi to be complete

Michimiya:Yeah, but, won't they beat the crap out of us?

Daichi:Well, we actually have some rather interesting first-years

Michimiya:I heard about them, as soon as they joined the club, they blew off the vice principal's rug

Daichi covers her mouth before anyone hears

Daichi:D-D-D-D-D-Don't! Who told you that?

Michimiya:(L/N)-san was spreading the word around a couple of days ago, last I heard he got detention after someone told the vice principal

Daichi:So that's why he was late to practice yesterday, those guys are imperfect, but if they start playing their part, I feel Karasuno is going to evolve explosively, that's what I think

Michimiya:Wow

*TIMESKIP*

Kageyama:Are first-years allowed to use the club room?

"Yeah"

You open the door to the club room to be met with Tanaka, and 3 "extras"

"Hey"

Hinata-Kageyama:Sorry for the intrusion!
