Miyuki's POV

Since our game starts early in the morning at 8:30. While Kiyo-kun will be playing at 11:30 for their Round 3 on Court 1, I plan on watching him after our game. We head into the Girls' locker room, we pass by other schools in order to get into a row that was empty. 

I heard a voice as I changed out of my joggers and volleyball shoes. I heard the 1st years squealing as I turned my head slightly to a girl with short black hair that's tied into a ponytail with dark green streaks who's now hugging Seika, Hekima, and Hina. The other 3rd years joined and I knew who might that be. I stand up to fix my low braid as I put on my jacket and faced the girls. 

"Oh? You must be Shimotsuki Miyuki." The girl turns to me and smiles. 

"You must be Shimamura Sakiko." I calmly pointed out. 

"I heard you're the Foreign Ace. I can't wait to play against you all." I felt a weird tingling in my spine as her dark green eyes looked into my icy blue ones. 

"We'll see you after Round 3." Kairi pats her former teammate's shoulder. "We'll definitely make you regret moving." 

"I can't wait." Sakiko smiles and then laughs it off with the 3rd years. "Inarizaki is good even without their starting libero. But, I wouldn't lower my guard down." 

"Yeah, I heard she couldn't come even if she played a set in their prelims." Mai points out. 

"I'm sure she's going to play at Nationals." Namika shrugs as Sakiko turns to me. 

"I'll see you around, Foreign Ace. I bid you good luck." She waves to us before walking out of our row of lockers. 

"I want to play against Saki-chan." Seika clenches her fists, getting all fired up. 

"You better not choke." Shizuka ruffles her short hair. "Remember, Saki-chan is an opponent on the court. Not a friend on the court." 

"Right," Mai nods. "we came here to be number 1 like the Boys." 

"Yes." I said as I looked into their eyes. "Let's get warmed up already." I don't like the feeling I'm getting from her. She seems dangerous in the inside but friendly on the outside. Before we get to her, we need to focus on Inarizaki. From what I heard, Hyogo's number 1 Libero is not here which means their defense might have some holes in it. I'm starting to feel really on the edge just by thinking about Sakiko Shimamura. 

As we made our way to Court 2 as other girls passed us to go to the lockers. Coach Ichika was sitting on the bench and writing something down while Shizuka joins her. I took off my jacket and fold it nicely before putting it next to Shizuka as me and Aratani warm up our arms and legs. I heard balls bouncing on the other side of the court as I see girls in black jerseys and white numbers with white kanji that says Inarizaki. 

"Aw, man." Kairi grunts. "We better not switch jerseys." 

"Don't the both of us have white alternative jerseys." Fumiko points out. 

"Too late, we ain't changing." Mai concludes as Kairi went to do the coin toss. 

Normal POV

"I heard you got yourself a new ace, Kairi." The Inarizaki caption shakes her hand as Kairi nods.  

"I heard Kimika is not playing, Emiko."
