"What a keen intuition!!"

In the audience, old Coach Ukai's eyes froze.

Just that one play—Akira didn't move on instinct alone!

Old Ukai, who was standing with Takinoue and Shimada outside the venue, saw it clearly.

It wasn't until the moment before Nakashima swung his arm to spike the ball that Akira began to pull back his hands from the block!

His eyes had been locked onto the expression on Nakashima's face and the movement of his right arm!

That meant—he really saw through Nakashima's intentions!

He knew the spike was aimed at him, and in that instant, he judged that Nakashima was going for a tool-out shot!

Because a tool-out spike and a regular offensive spike are fundamentally different!

If the attacker wants to tool out the block, he has to adjust his angle and hit the ball diagonally upward!

But a normal spike isn't like that!

And the fact that Akira didn't pull his hands away until just before the spike had another advantage—

Even if Nakashima sensed something, it would be too late to stop!!

"But…"

"Not everyone has Akira's vision and reaction speed!"

"So how are they going to deal with Nakashima's spikes??"

Ukai looked out at the court, momentarily lost in thought.

He had a point.

Takeru Nakashima, on the court, was also stunned by Akira's reaction!

Once he collected himself, he made a decision in his heart—

He wouldn't aim at Akira anymore!!

There were still three blockers at the net!

He could target someone else and still try to tool out!

A point is a point in the end!

No way the others have instincts like Akira's, right??

That would be terrifying!

Nakashima didn't believe that for a second!

Then, as he was still processing, the whistle blew again!

Karasuno, who had just scored, continued to serve!

Kei Tsukishima walked to the baseline, the eyes behind his glasses narrowing as he studied Wakutani Minami's formation...

As if considering where to direct his serve.

But Tsukishima didn't take long—after just a few seconds of observation, he jumped and served!!

A jump float again!

This one went straight to the far corner of Wakutani Minami's court!!

The ball was sharp, seemingly flying out of bounds!

In that position, Yūki Shiroishi's face twisted in hesitation—but he still chose to receive the ball!

He felt that if this spectacled guy dared to serve there, it had to be calculated!

This ball probably wouldn't go out!

And in the front row, Kazumasa Hanayama was already setting up the next attack!!

...

In the audience, the players from Shiratorizawa had just finished their match and were settling into their seats.

Their game had just concluded—and under the leadership of Wakatoshi Ushijima, they had secured another dominant win!

"So? See anything?"

Coach WashijĹŤ squinted at the match on the court.

"They're a lot stronger than before."

Ushijima's expression was serious as he observed Karasuno's formation.

Compared to the previous qualifiers, Karasuno was very different!

"Yeah…"

WashijĹŤ nodded slightly.

"Everyone's grown since last time."

"You could even say it's a qualitative change."

"I'll definitely beat them."

Ushijima's firm voice rang beside him.

"We'll make it to Nationals."

Two rows behind them, Satori TendĹŤ covered his mouth and whispered to KenjirĹŤ Shirabu.

"Hey."

"Have you noticed..."

"Ever since we lost to Karasuno in the last qualifiers, Coach WashijĹŤ's temper has gotten a lot better?"

"Yeah!"

At the mention, Shirabu perked up, also covering his mouth to whisper back:

"Before, if I made a mistake during practice matches, I'd either get smacked or yelled at!"

"But last time, when we had that scrimmage with Sendai University, I wasn't even in the play…"

"And Coach didn't slap me! Didn't even yell!"

"He just said, 'Be more careful next time,' and let it go!"

"Right? Right?"

"And last time…"

Tendō was clearly excited now—but as his excitement rose, so did the volume of his voice.

"Ahem!!"

Just then, Reon ĹŚhira coughed lightly and poked him in the lower back with a finger.

"Huh?"

TendĹŤ looked confused, turning toward Reon sitting beside him.

"What—?"

Just as he was about to speak, he felt two piercing stares from the seats in front.

"Ahem!"

TendĹŤ quickly turned back toward the court.

"Tendō, Shirabu…"

Coach WashijĹŤ said calmly:

"You two seem to have a lot of free time."

"You're here to observe your opponent, not to gossip."

At that, TendĹŤ and Shirabu instinctively knew they were in trouble.

Just as they opened their mouths to explain, WashijĹŤ continued:

"In that case, after today's afternoon match, the rest of the team will take the bus back."

"You two—run back to school."

"Yes, WashijĹŤ-Sensei!"
