"Muscle ... motion??"
As soon as Akira spoke, everyone around him was stunned.
"Muscle motion... how to exert power?"
Hearing his words, Yaku couldn't help but ask.
Although he was a Libero, who on the court didn't dream of smashing the ball with power and glory?
Among the crowd, Yaku was actually one of the most focused listeners.
He understood every word Akira had just said, but when they were strung together, he was completely puzzled.
Doesn't a normal person hit the ball on the upper back to give it topspin and forward momentum? What more is there to it?
Akira smiled slightly, then turned around and continued:
"At the moment of the spike, use the movement of the muscle groups in the palms and fingers to apply force to the left or right side of the ball."
"Then, with a proper angle and strength, you can make the spinning ball fly in different directions."
"What?"
Konoha's eyes widened.
"You didn't just rub the ball to the side with your hand when you spiked?"
In the previous match against Itachiyama, after watching Sakusa spike, they had tried to imitate it.
But they had all quickly realized they couldn't reach that level at all.
"That's right,"
Sarukui also chimed in.
"Sakusa from Itachiyama spikes like that!"
"His wrist is naturally different—he can rotate it extremely flexibly!"
"According to some of the players from Itachiyama, he can even twist his wrist 180 degrees and press his palm flat against his forearm!"
"That's why when he spikes, he's able to generate rotational force on the ball that most people can't."
Hearing Sarukui's words, Akira was stunned for a moment.
He knew that a large wrist rotation could create that effect.
But that wasn't something ordinary people could do.
The wrist would have to be extremely flexible to move like that!
Maybe... that was why Sakusa's kind of spike was so hard to copy.
Because his ability to rotate his wrist like that was a talent.
And others simply couldn't do it.
So in the face of everyone's confusion, Akira could only shake his head.
"In my opinion…"
"The palm only provides the forward force for the ball."
"As for the rotation, it comes entirely from the strength of the smaller muscles in the hand."
"But that…"
Komi hesitated.
What Akira was saying didn't align with what they had always known.
And they'd never even heard of palm muscle groups before—let alone using them to do something like that.
In fact, a few of them had already started fiddling with their palms, staring at their hands in confusion.
But no matter what they tried, nothing seemed to happen.
Faced with everyone's questioning expressions, Akira felt a little helpless.
Back when he was in Karasuno, Hinata had asked him how to perform that kind of shot, and he had explained it the same way.
At the time, they'd all had the same bewildered expressions these players did now.
Why would he lie?
There was no point talking too much—he knew from experience that they wouldn't believe him until they saw it themselves.
"Why don't one of you come up and demonstrate it with me?" Akira asked with a smile.
"I'll go!"
"Me!"
"I—!"
The moment the offer was made, several people called out at once.
However, Lev charged out faster than anyone else and stood before Akira with enthusiasm.
"You'll do," Akira said casually, amused by Lev's eagerness.
"Watch carefully what I do next."
"Especially my hands."
Akira asked Lev to take a ready stance.
Then, he gently spiked a ball toward him.
He didn't use any power, just a light flick.
But because he had told everyone to focus on his hands, they all noticed it—
At the moment his palm made contact with the ball, the muscles in his hand twitched slightly.
At the same time, the ball seemed to stall in the air—then began to spin.
Under the intense gaze of the others, the ball slowly spun and flew toward Lev.
Thwack!
Lev focused, completely confident.
He hadn't been playing volleyball for long, but he believed he could receive this weak spike with no issue.
It was more like a soft slap than a spike.
The ball was practically falling from gravity.
As the ball neared him, Lev gently raised his arms to send it back toward Akira.
But the instant his arms touched the ball, everyone noticed—
The ball slipped off to the left, as if it had grease on it.
It slid right past his arm and fell diagonally to the floor.
"What just happened?!"
Lev stared at the ball in disbelief.
That should've been an easy, guaranteed receive!
He was confused—but the bystanders weren't.
They had watched the whole thing from start to finish.
They understood exactly what had happened.
The key was that slight twitch in Akira's palm when he made contact with the ball.
That subtle movement had added a strange spin to it!
After witnessing Akira's slow-motion demonstration, everyone around started glancing at each other in shock.
Even though they didn't want to believe it, everything Akira had said…
Seemed to be true??
Seeing their faces, Akira couldn't help but smile a little.
It looked like this was still something hard for them to fully understand just yet.
