You feel that awesome, invincible feeling, that rush, as you sprint forward to the net with all your might, before you leap upwards in the air with all the power you've got, letting your legs carry you high into the air and suddenly – you're airborne, like a crow.
You're suspended in the air for what feels like a long time, when it is really just a split fraction of a second. And in that split fraction of a second, you can see the other side of the court widespread before you and you zero in on a clear spot.
Then, the touch of the ball on your fingertips, the ball the setter, Kageyama, has directed specifically to you, and it feels like victory is already right within your reach.
In an instant, your fingers spreads over the ball and with all the force in your am, you slam that ball down to the ground on the other side of the net. You see your opponents rush after the ball all wild and panicky, you see the ball fall and touch the ground and bounce back up, you see your opponents turn their heads around to stare at you, a mixture of incredulousness, fury, and loss – and you know you've won as you land, safely back down to the ground.
And that amazing feeling in your hand, after that incredible spike, still lingers in your stinging hands.
