KnB's POV:
It was a long night on the day of a soccer match between Karasuno High and Mamayama Predator's team. Seirin players didn't watch it, but they heard that Karasuno high won the game. A soccer amateur team won against a pro-soccer team. This got the Seirin boys in high spirit that when they were taking an open-air bath, everyone except for Kuroko had red marks on their faces.
"Why does the coach always figures us out?" One of the boys asked. Hyuuga replied back:
"Because she's our coach, she knows us best." Kagonei added.
"No, she knows you best, captain!" Hyuuga glared at Kagonei with his creepy smile.
"Wanna say that agaain?" As the Seirin team walked down the hallway, they spotted another school chatting away.
"Heyy! So can we play ping-pong later! I heard that there's a ping-pong set up in the fitness room. "
"Seriously? We should totally go!" As the team passed Seirin's team, Kuroko stopped and noticed someone. Kuroko was gonna be trailed behind when Kagami asked:
"Kuroko! You coming?" Kuroko replied back.
"I think I was supposed to greet someone. If I remembered correctly, today in the washroom, we met each other." Kagami remembered the bathroom scene and wasn't too happy about that.
"Whhat are you talking about? You mean that short ego-centric guy that called your name?"
"No, I meant another short player like me. But I think I saw him another time…" Kuroko pondered for a while.
"Forget it Kuroko! We're gonna leave you behind!" Kagami started walking away from Kuroko and headed with the team. Kuroko shrugged his shoulder and followed Kagami behind.
The team was in a lobby, Hyuuga asked:
"So! We gotta split the rooms. I say: Second Years in one, us, Third Years in another and First years with coach."
"Why me?" Riko Aida asked innocently. The second and third years all felt a dark aura around Riko. They shivered.
"Because Riko's best at keeping an eye on them, right Hyuuga!" Kiyoshi, who wasn't affected by this dark aura answered in a confident voice.
"Um… Yeah! That's right!" Hyuuga agreed vaguely. Riko was burning on fire.
"Say that again Hyuuga?"
"Ahm, wait! I meant to say—" After a few minutes of disputing, it was settled. First Years had to be overlooked by the captain. While Riko Aida gets her separate room from the Third Years. Lucky her.
Kagami, Kuroko, Furihata, Fukuda and Kawahara were all in one room, chilling and reading manga or sports magazines. Kuroko picked up a sports magazine and suddenly remembered the orange haired little guy. He exclaimed.
"I remember now: It's this guy! He's in the Daily Sports Magazine; they call him a small giant for Volleyball. It says that he's specialty is something to do with high jumps for spiking the ball."
"SPIKING THE BALL?" The others tried to imagine a short person like Kuroko, hitting volleyball. They all laughed.
"Guys, I'm serious." Kuroko said in a cold monotone. The whole room went quiet. After a while, Kagami asked like he's reading Kuroko's mind.
"So… Does that mean you wanna go to the ping-pong room to check them out?" Kuroko made a grin that shined like a sunshine. Furihata, Fukuda and Kawahara, even Kagami were all amazed by that huge grin.
"Yes. I very much like to see what a little giant in volleyball can do in ping-pong."
Haikyuu!'s POV:
"Ah-choo!" Hinata sneezed as Karasuno team were all in the ping-pong room.
"Haha! I bet some kind of bad spirit has invaded you, Hinata." Tsukishima said with a smirk on his face.
"Hmm? No way." Hinata refused, but he knelt down to the ground and prayed for his life to not get sucked by evilness. Tsukishima was grinning as Kageyama was disgusted by that. Hinata whipped his head and glared at Kageyama.
"BAKAGEYAMA! Don't give me your evil aura!"
"WHAAT?" Kageyama's inner personality of being king of the court emerged. He was about to pick a fight with Hinata when Tanaka intercepted them.
"Please, can you guys just please stop fighting for once?" He said it in a manner of being shameful of his teammates but also phony. All three of them glared at Tanaka.
"You wanna go!" Tanaka wasn't comfortable seeing their glares, so he sat in a corner and played as a Buddha.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" The Captain of the volleyball said. Three boys walked in.
"Hi, um… we heard that you guys were –" The fourth guy who was red-head giant intercepted as he exclaimed:
"Who's up against me in ping-pong!?" He pushed his way passed the Third years of Karasuno high and got a red racket. He was ready to play when a soft but clear tone was heard:
"Kagami-kun, you should at least be respectful to the Third Years. It's not nice of you to ignore them." Hinata and the rest of the Volleyball team gasped loudly.
"YOOU!" Hinata pointed at the baby-blue hair.
"I saw you! I know you! You—How did you get in here?"
"From the opened door." Kuroko answered with no hint of showing an annoyance of the obvious answer.
"Ahh! Well, it seems like you boys are okay on your own huh Hinata? We will just excuse ourselves." Sawamura said in a hurry. All the third years and some second years left the ping-pong room. There were only Hinata, Tsukishima, Kageyama, Yamaguchi, Nishinoya and Tanaka. Kagami had a racket with him and announced:
"I'm ready to play against one of you." He pointed to Kageyama and Tsukishima. Both of them looked at each other and said:
"Fine with us!"
