As a peculiar spring breeze blew through the school grounds, the school was abuzz with the excitement of a ball game.
On the school grounds, teams from each class were competing in volleyball matches, and many heated battles were being played out.
“Oh~! The ball game, let’s get this thing started !”
Hanamichi spread his arms wide in the center of the ground and shouted like a professional wrestler.
Next to him, Wakita, Fujii, and Yasui from the same team looked on in dismay.
“Can’t you just be a little more normal?”
Wakita retorted, and Hanamichi looked at him with a scowling face.
“What are you talking about? If you’re gonna participate in a tournament, you have to be hyped up, don’t you?”
“No, you’re raising the tension too much !”
Wakita flicked his finger on Hanamichi’s forehead.
Then Tsumugi, who was seated in the audience, giggled.
“Oh, Morita kun ! You were too funny just now !”
Tumugi had come to cheer for Hanamichi and the others, members of the “Comedy 5” group.
The girls around her looked at Tumugi strangely, but she didn’t seem to mind at all.
Hanamichi’s class had to play a team of upperclassmen in the first round.
Their opponents had a lot of experience and were tall. Normally speaking, they would be quite a formidable opponent.
However—.
“Let’s do it, boys ! Let’s show them our volleyball ! !”
Hanamichi’s voice was strangely enthusiastic, and Wakita and the others looked at each other a little puzzled.
“No, what do you mean by ‘our volleyball’?……”
Fujii sighs plaintively.
The whistle blew to start the match, and it was the senior team that got the serve first.
The taller male player released a powerful serve.
“Oops, that’s…..!”
The ball flew straight toward Hanamichi.
It should be difficult to catch a strong serve.
“Phew. This is no big deal !”
Hanamichi, with a smug look on his face, entered the drop zone of the ball and made a crisp receive.
“Oh !? He’s receiving properly ! !”
Yasui, who was in a receiving position, shouted in surprise.
“So I can do it if I put my mind to it.”
Hanamichi said confidently and looked at the ball.
–Then, receiving the toss from Wakita, Hanamichi suddenly leapt.
He spun around in the air.
“Sepaktakraw ! !”
He exploded with a strong overhead kick!
[ [ [ [ [Ha !?] ] ] ] ]
The entire ground is filled with surprise.
The ball was slammed into the opponent’s court at a tremendous speed, drawing a beautiful arc.
It was already as powerful as a soccer shot, not a volleyball.
“Fweeet ! ! Foul ! !”
The whistle of the faculty referee echoed through the court.
“Ahhhh, I knew it was no good !”
Hanamichi held his head.
“What do you mean by ‘I knew it’? You knew it was against the rules from the beginning !”
Wakita immediately retorted.
Watching this scene, Tsumugi couldn’t even hold back her laughter any longer.
“Hahahaha ! ! ! You really are……no……Morita kun, you’re too funny ! !”
Tsumugi burst into laughter while shedding tears.
As the match progressed, Hanamichi exploded with a number of swears.
He caught his opponent’s spike by jumping on his knees (naturally, he failed).
The moment his opponent was about to serve, he shifted his timing and shouted [Don’t worry !] (this is really disliked).
He intentionally moves in strange steps, making the men and women in the audience laugh.
Every time they do this, Tsumugi laugh.
Hanamichi, however, was not a man who could only be funny.
When the game was close at the end and the team was in trouble—-.
“Let’s get this over with……!”
Hanamichi stood in front of the net with a serious look in his eyes.
The opponent’s spike flew in.
“Oraaaaah ! !”
Hanamichi bit down on the ball, and instead of receiving it, he returned it with a header.
“Header ! !”
While Wakita and the other players were surprised, the ball fell into a gap in the opponent’s court by a fluke.
–Score ! !
The spectators cheered.
Tsumugi also applauds and continues to laugh.
“Morita kun, you’re the best ! ! Hahaha ! !”
He was completely on the spot.
In the end, Hanamichi’s team won the match by a narrow margin.
Hanamichi’s many strange plays and his overwhelming presence became the talk of the town, and after the match many students began to pay attention to him.
“What the hell are you, seriously……?”
A senior on the other team says in dismay.
“I’m just a regular male student who likes to be silly, you know? And by the way, I also like volleyball ! !”
Hanamichi says with a smug look on his face, showing no sign of fatigue.
“You’re lying ! ! You were breaking the rules of volleyball, weren’t you ! !”
Wakita and the others were aghast. This may be the mission of Hanamichi’s friend.
“Morita kun is the funniest ! !”
Tsumugi gazed at Hanamichi with sparkling eyes. Like a female fan gazing at a shining male idol.
“Hmmm. I’m awesome, aren’t I?”
Hanamichi was smiling and puffing out his chest proudly.
“This is no good. He’s totally getting carried away.”
Wakita, Fujii, and Yasui looked at him with dismay. Perhaps they could understand Hanamichi’s feelings.
Thus, Hanamichi became the “center of attention” at the ball game, although he was completely open.
