"Aaaaah!"
Before anyone could say anything, Bokuto shouted loudly.
"Mistake! Blunder!"
He clutched his head with both hands, rubbing his hair in distress.
Seeing him like this, everyone on Fukurodani's side felt their hearts stir again.
The players in the back row started whispering among themselves.
"It can't be… Is it starting again??"
"That was way too fast this time!"
"Sigh! It's never not sudden!"
...
"One more ball! One more ball!"
"Akashi! I have to score this time!"
Boom!
Akashi looked at him and couldn't help swallowing hard, thinking:
If you can still score like this, I'll eat the volleyball whole…
But obviously, now wasn't the time to say that. He could only nod silently—
And give Bokuto a smile that said I believe in you… even if he didn't.
The fired-up Bokuto instantly lit up with energy and returned to the court excitedly.
Seeing that, the others couldn't help sighing internally.
Looks like it's coming soon...
Tweet!
The referee's whistle blew. Karasuno served again!
The pass was received cleanly, and Akashi glanced at Bokuto—who was already jumping up—with a calm expression.
At that moment, Akira and the two others across the net also smiled at Bokuto, already in position and waiting to block.
After all his shouting earlier, who wouldn't know he's going to spike this ball?
"Bokuto-senpai! I'm not going easy on you!"
Akira said with a grin.
"Haha! Bring it on! I won't lose to you!"
Bokuto clenched his fists and answered loudly.
"Here it comes! Bokuto!"
Akashi's voice rang out from the side, and Bokuto turned his head just in time to see Akashi already in the air.
Whoosh!
A jump set!
It was an incredible toss!
"Nice one, Akashi!"
Bokuto looked up at the volleyball soaring through the air and licked his lips.
"Now it's my turn!"
But compared to earlier, this attack was clearly more impatient—Bokuto's movements were rushed.
He was desperate to score!!
That trace of impatience was subtle, though. Against a regular blocker, it might've gone unnoticed.
But Akira saw it immediately.
It's just like the last one!
All three blockers jumped at the same time!!
This time, Akira completely sealed off Bokuto's straight-line attack!
Tool the block and aim out-of-bounds!
That's what was on Bokuto's mind.
Akira's tool-out shots had been stunning earlier in the match.
He'd racked up point after point with them.
Now, Bokuto—fully back in his rhythm—was eager to try it too!
But to tool-out and hit the pole? That was tough.
Still, it only made Bokuto more fired up.
In the air, Bokuto saw Akira's hands clearly above the net.
For an ace like him, this move was well within his skill set!
Smack!
He aimed directly at Akira's fingers and slammed the ball!
But Bokuto's intentions were a bit too obvious.
And with Akira's sharp instincts, he instantly guessed what Bokuto was planning!
So, the very moment Bokuto swung—
Akira, still in the air, pulled his hands back from the block!
The ball that Bokuto had targeted for Akira's fingers hit… nothing!
The soft hit flew off diagonally—
And dropped out of bounds!
Smack… smack… smack...
The sound of the ball hitting the floor echoed awkwardly across the court.
Everyone—on and off the court—immediately looked at Bokuto.
Because Akira had suddenly retracted his hands, Bokuto's spike out of bounds looked ridiculously bad...
As if he'd aimed straight for an empty corner of the court.
Seeing that, Kuroo actually burst into tears laughing.
"Pffft—HAHAHA!!"
"Bokuto! What kind of juggling act is this??"
"You're killing me here!!"
Actually, everyone had seen what happened clearly.
Bokuto had tried to copy Akira's tool-out move.
But Akira—being the master of that technique—wasn't about to let him get away with it so easily.
