I do not own Haikyuu!
Enjoy!
It was match day.
Who at Mamoth High wasn't confident?
After all, they were up against arguably the worst team in the whole tournament.
Rich boy's who did not take anything seriously and did not even run.
LionsGate volleyball team was a joke and all those from Mamoth High thought that there shouldn't even be a match, since they know they were going to win, anyway.
"Falcon Drive, is finally here" Said, the Couch of Mamoth High, he was a man in his fifties who had a moustache and wore a green track suit. "So, let's head down to the Volleyball Court
All the players were breaming with confidence as they walked.
When they entered the building, they were expecting to see young adults who couldn't care less about what was happening right in front of them.
Like last year, they thought somebody would be doing Yoga, several people would be eating, some of them would be watching television while others would be standing in place just listening to music.
They had to wonder why that University had a volleyball club if they did not take the sport seriously.
However, when they entered the building, their smug faces instantly disappeared from their faces.
Liongate academy had transformed.
Every single one of them, not only dressed like a real team but they had the posture of a real Volleyball team.
They were confused.
Why did it feel like they were going against a decent team!?
Did, those rich guy's hire doubles to take their place!?
Ch 9: Is this really Liongate!?
"HOLD ON A MINUTE!" One of the member's for Mamoth High said. "ISN'T THIS ILLEGAL!? THEY ARE CLEARILY DOUBLES!"
In fact, it wasn't just him that was convinced that foul play was going on but the whole team.
How could a team that was known to be a joke, suddenly be able to put on a decent team air!?
And they could all clearly see, that the other team now had a manager and coach that was very possibly, extremely famous.
Jonathan laughed and flipped his hair back. "Do you think it's easy to find somebody this fabulous? I remember playing a video game last time we played"
IT'S REALLY HIM! Those who watched thought, nobody would forget that personality!
"We are not clones. We just merely got a new prospective in life" Jonathan said. "Plus, we got a new coach and new manager, now."
Everybody on the team grinned devilishly.
"So, can we start this game?" He said, turning to Mamoth High overseer.
The overseer looked just as surprised, as everybody else, he planned to read manga in this match.
Was this going to be a real match?
#In the stands#
Some of the students from Mamoth High showed up to watch, they wore green school pants and checked white shirts with black shoes.
At the same time, outside, it was revealed that the match was taking place in a local indoor stadium that was not that far away from Mamoth Highschool.
A lot of local people were coming to see as well, convinced that the school would win without even trying.
However something extremely shocking was about to happen.
An extremely expensive looking Benz just pulled up, getting quiet the reaction from the surrounding crowd.
Many had never seen a Benz in real life before.
Then the driver got out of the car, and they were all shocked to see that the man was wearing a professional high-class drivers uniform.
"Ooh" Somebody said, seeing this.
They all wondered who it was.
Then the driver walked to the front passenger door and opened it up, and out came four bulky man dressed in suits clearing the way for a young man wearing the finest suit they had all ever seen, his hair was combed back.
In his hand was an expensive looking cane that was just an accessory.
Seeing this man, the wolves could smell the money.
However, the man wasn't alone, the four bulky men made sure nobody got close enough to touch him and made a path for him.
He had already done his research about where the match was and just followed his mind.
Everybody he walked by was made very much aware of his arrival.
By the time, he walked into the stadium, there was a buzz in the air as he walked in.
Of course, the players on both teams were aware of him walking in, after all, who walked in that gloriously?
Many understandably wondered who he was.
Perhaps a professional volleyball player?
He was young enough.
However, the players of Liongate paled at the sight of the young man.
It was the principle!
The man really did come!
The man guards cleared a whole row for him and even dusted the seat for him.
Not that far from him was Raanan and the people who weren't selected to be in this match or be substitutes.
The match had already started but Liongate had already managed to shock their opponents.
Not only did they know which space each of there were supposed to occupy but they all moved.
THEY MOVED!
Mamoth High was in absolute shock when their spiker got the ball over the net, they were expecting Liongate attitude was only there to put them on edge, they didn't expect for them to actually play well.
In a split second, Liongate Academy proved that they would actually use their leg's and touch the ball willingly.
"Got it!" Nanako said, he had been appointed as the team's Middle blocker.
He stopped the ball and changed its path to go diagonally right.
High another for Jonathan, who had been appointed as the spiker for this match, to hit.
He had been trained by serious power Volleyball players, so how could his spike be ordinary?
He hit it hard and fast, so fast that the other team could only stare dumbly as the ball flow right passed them and within the box before bouncing out.
Everybody was stunned.
"YES!" Jonathan yelled.
Man, did that feel good!
Then he was tackled by everybody, over that one spike.
They acted like a real team.
A shocking contrast to the 'I don't care' attitude from last year.
However, they were celebrating too much.
Everybody on the team was suddenly aware of their Coach's heavy stare and got back into positions.
Raanan felt like he was seeing Kasuno High.
No.
He felt like he was seeing the Kasuno that his mind had created after the incident happened.
He wondered if what he was looking at was an illusion to?
No.
Impossible.
Yes, the people on the team he applied for, had changed, but it was all because the Principles had threaten them with the threat of their parent's wrath.
He no longer saw the double heads and illusion Hinata was no longer around.
He had escaped that illusion that he made for himself and even escaped his cruel life.
He would rather not be Hinata Shōyō.
He did not want to be the boy who was not short by choice and was constantly teased about it.
He did not want to be that boy who would come home to a mother that hates him and a sister who made him into her own personal slave.
He did not want to be the boy who failed all of test's because he either did not have time for it or he was too busy doing somebody else homework.
That life was not a life that he wanted to go back to.
He liked being Raanan Finnan.
As Raanan he could finally be his true self.
People have to look up, when they talked to him.
If he goes home, what awaited him was lots of showering of hugs and kiss.
He had a lot more free time, than he know what to with and had the freedom to do what he was truly passionate about.
"CHANGE!" The Referee yelled, and both sides had people swapping positions.
What was even more shocking was that Mamoth High players were sweating like crazy, while Lion Gate players barely had a sweat on them.
The difference in their training was showing.
While the elite boys of Lion Gate were throwing up from the harsh training that their bodys were suddenly exposed to, the Mamoth High Players had just been taking it easy.
After all, there had no reason for be alarm so why should they train hard, when they were convinced they would win even if they were all injured?
The locals and the students from Mamoth High could not believe their eyes.
Lion Gate boys just kept on racking in points, not a single ball had gotten passed them and their coach was smiling evilly.
Their manager was taken pictures.
However, nobody know how anybody could see after being blinded by her camera flashes were beyond them.
Then it happened.
Lion Gate got their first full 25 points and the referee was shocked to announce something he thought he would never say.
Lion gate had won their first set.
Nobody could believe, that there would come a day when such a team would win a set and dominate it as well.
Mamoth Players switched positions.
"It's alright guy's!" Said the Captain of the Mamoth players. "It's just one set. There are four more to go"
His words put energy into the team.
Yes, it was only one set.
However, they were playing a team that was expertly fine-tuned by a man who coached the best team in the world.
Did they think, he would be an ordinary coach?
Coach Bulkin Aleskeevich had made it his mission to learn about each member of the team's body inside and out.
His keen eye told him when somebody wasn't listening to their body or was running out on gas and tried to hide it, he would make the appropriate substitute even if the player was startled by it.
But who on the team dared to complain while the principle was watching?
"What is this?" Rannan heard the guy next to him say. "The other teams coach keeps substituting players. Are they going to be okay, when the third set begins?'
Of course, to normal people, the man was making unnecessary switch's but what he was exactly doing was making sure the other team never found their weak point by constantly switching out players.
"It's your turn" the coach said, Evilly.
Suddenly those who were on the benched was very much aware of their new manager, who had put down her camera and was currently cracking her knuckles.
What followed next was several terrified whimper's as Margret pounced on them, excited to practise her message techniques that she only learned in two days.
And it showed.
It looked more like she was softly torturing them then trying to get their body to relax, however, the massage showed its effects when they went out.
If she didn't do it out in the open, people may accuse the team of cheating, especially at this age demographic.
Because of her massages, the burden done to their bodies were much less than it should be.
The man who held the title of Principle of Liongate Academy had seen enough.
He got up and his guards immediately followed his lead.
When he walked, they walked and made sure nothing obstructed his path.
Liongate Academy Volleyball team was truly nervous.
Did they uphold Liongate's reputation and tell the man, that the money he spent on the club was money well spent?
They were so nervous that they almost let the ball get passed them which would let the other team score at point.
Almost.
Their instinctive training was really effective and the match turned boring, when they won the 3 set.
Mamoth High know it was in trouble but they held on.
If they could just get one point...
However, it was no use.
Liongate Academy had transformed into a good team that was fully focused on the opponent right in front of them, then the future.
It was because of this difference that Liongate Academy won so effortless.
Those who came to watch, were silent.
The Team that nobody took seriously had just won in a frightening way.
Liongate Academy was no longer a joke.
They had to be taken seriously.
However, nobody but a selected few know that Liongate was not whole, today.
And scene!
Next chapter, the team gets a notice from the principle who will allow them to use the teams funding as long as they keep winning and finish in a place that he could display alongside the other team's achievements. Meanwhile Liongate flawless win had caused quite a stir which made the other teams take notice of them, but the teams at the top are met with dissappointed. Review/fav and follow!
