Haikyuu : The Legend

The match between Aoba Johsai and Shiratorizawa was now on the minds of all the teams in Miyagi Prefecture. Outside the gym, the Karasuno team, gathered in the stands, had watched the match attentively. Although they were far from the confrontation, the intensity of the match affected them all.

Hinata: "It's... it's crazy."

Daichi: "They're strong, that's for sure. But we can beat them if we play as a team, we've evolved too. We're not afraid."

Yamaguchi: "But it's impressive... They all move like well-oiled machines.

" Tsukishima: "Pff... It's not magic, it's sweat and years of training."

But even Tsukishima, usually detached, felt the pressure. Karasuno knew that to advance, they would have to overcome opponents like Aoba Johsai and Shiratorizawa. Eyes met and determination was palpable.

Takeda: "We still have a long way to go, but if we want to be the best, there is no turning back."

The team agreed: the work begins now.

A few days later, training resumed for Aoba Johsai. The victory against Shiratorizawa had strengthened the team, but Oikawa knew that it was not enough to rest on their laurels. He pushed his teammates even harder.

Oikawa: "We can't afford to relax. We have shown what we are worth, but we must always improve."

Ren was in full concentration, Since the match he had realized the importance of an Ace. To meet the expectations of his friends he had to continue to evolve. During training his game was becoming more and more fluid. Each training session became an opportunity to perfect his attacks and strengthen his team spirit. The passes with Oikawa were more and more in harmony, and even Iwaizumi, who at first did not believe in him, now gave him his trust.

Iwaizumi: "You really are a monster, huh? But that doesn't mean we're going to leave you alone." He said with a smile and patted Ren on the back.

Ren (smiles): "That's it, I like taking on challenges."

The teammates exchanged knowing glances. There was no doubt that Ren was now fully part of the team.

Meanwhile, Karasuno had received word that they were going to face Nekoma's rival team. The match promised to be exciting.

Yamaguchi: "This match... promises to be epic."

Tsukishima: "Yeah, but there's still a lot to do."

The intensity of the training increased, Nekoma was a formidable opponent, but Karasuno seemed able to hold their own thanks to their teamwork. They continued to improve their game training after training motivated by Aoba Johsai's performance.

----

After an intense training session, Aoba Johsai decided to unwind. The players found themselves in an arcade, laughing and teasing each other.

Oikawa: "So, who's going to beat Hanamaki in the shooting game? I'd like to see that."

Hanamaki: "Hey, I'm just too good, that's all."

Iwaizumi: "If you could be that precise in attack."

Ren looked around, smiling shyly. He realized that this was the first time he felt such complicity, a true team spirit that went beyond the field. He never experienced this kind of camaraderie in his old world, and he felt deeply touched by this bond.

They spent the evening having fun and teasing each other, creating memories that, for Ren, were priceless.

Iwaizumi (laughing): "Ren, it seems like you've become the good kid of the team. Are you sure you know how to have fun?"

Ren (nervous laugh): "I... I'm just a little... impressed by the good atmosphere."

Oikawa: "ohhh...That's it. Our little genius is moved??? "

The group laughed heartily. At the end of the evening Oikawa, Iwaizumi and Ren went home together. And Oikawa made a suggestion:

Oikawa: "How about going to see the "dumpster" battle between Nekoma and Karasuno?"

Iwaizumi: "It seems like you're worried about your "kōhai", it's cute.. HAHA!

Oikawa: "I just want to see him lose one more time, so are you coming?"

Ren: "Yup"

Iwaizumi: "I guess I don't have much choice"
