Sho was excited today was the first day of training, really it was an admission evaluation for the coaches/judges to see what rank the freshmen are. He hoped that his hard work would pay off and that he wasn’t too low.. He trusted his skills from years of training, ever since he could remember his love for volleyball grew more and more his passionate fire to keep working day end and day out, sleepless nights, training hooning and trying his best. Even though he still sucked at receiving a bit

-outside the dorm-

Shoyo could be found in his light orange track gear finishing his morning jog with tobio.

It became an honest habit for the two volleyball idiots always arguing and turning things somehow into a contest they even made..falling asleep first? A contenest. “Idiots attract indeed”

-Tsukishima Kei

“We should hurry and get ready. Yama's and Tsukishima are probably waiting for us, I'll text them.” Shoyo started breathing steadily. “Mhm.” was the only audible response he got, *god what is with his monotone,it pisses me off A LOT* shoyo thought

|Subject: Where are we meeting?|

 

Yamas💚 {Hey Sho, we'll just head to the gym me and Tsuki are already outside}

{Okay! we'll meet you two there. we're still coming back from the jog :3} You

Yamas💚 {Alright!! : D}

“Let’s head over to the 2nd gym there waiting for us outside!”

-Outside the second gym-

“Over here!” Yamaguchi waved them over tsukishima beside him with his usual stoic expression and headphones

*I wonder what type of music he listens to.. * thought shoyo as he and kageyama finally arrived. “Let's head in!” Yamaguchi stated as the group of 4 entered the gym the chill air hit their faces as the silent sound of people chattering and whispering as to not upset the evaluators and coaches.

|How the evaluation works|

They are put into random groups with a mix of all the first years, (30) A-E each person in the group of 6, first the team plays against each other. After that the individual evaluation takes place even during team plays the coaches are monitoring each player to be able to assess their strong suits and which category and level they'll start on. Little did they know whilst evaluating they are narrowing out players till there's only 3 groups left.

STOP

Let's take a look at the gang's outfits because why not can't gave a basic group yall!!(they switch to gym wear when the evaluation starts, getting called in groups to prep and get ready before warm ups and the test starts)

Shoyo: sleeveless turtleneck(cream) with a chunky layered pearl Vivienne Westwood necklace, vintage distressed middle length leather jacket, UO boucle blanket scarf, brown leather shorts, sleek orange customized sneakers with pearl lacing.

Yamaguchi: Green and black striped oversized shirt, light vintage washed baggy jeans. Layered one string pearl necklace with a handmade green forestcore necklace, with customized limited edition green converse.

Tsukishima: Cotton grey retro shirt, loose grey essentials hoodie, washed vintage dark jeans accessorized with a vivienne Westwood chunk belt, adidas core black shoes, Wooded lined glasses with white beat headphones.

 

Kageyama: zing j white button up shirt with a loose tie, chanel strass and faux pearl jewelry, classic prep black loafers, baggy sleek pants.

As the gang heads inside being the last ones has its downsides all eyes turn to see the last newcomers entering an whispers erupt

“Isn't that the famous first year genius setter Kageyama tobio?" …. “Oh yeah king of the court, look on his right he is so tall.." a girl Whispered quietly" oh oh that's Tsukishima Kei, his older brother graduated from the academy!” Tsuki scrunched his face and his eyes twitched. He hated the mention of his Older brother and how he was related to him, it made his blood boil and the past hurtful memories wash in like a storm waiting to explode.

-As the whistle blow’s-

“Alrighty Newgens, think of this as Life or death, make or break. You’ve read how this works. I'm in no need to further explain myself, if you pass, your chances are closer to 0 than 1. Kapeache?” A harmonized yes sir echoed the gym. It could make a military surgeon proud.

*Ahh,at least I'm in a group with tobio, the other’s are so tall and look scary.. * “you ready sho?”

Tobio saw how nervous he looked with his delicate slim fingers fidgeting and how he looks around early

“yeah…I think i’ll be fine just…nevermind we can do this! I can feel it . . . i think?” He nervously tried his best to give himself a pep-talk but something felt off he felt like there were more than just the evaluators eyes on them, it felt like a whole lotta people as if this were an official match

. . . He was right.
“Oh yeah and one more thing for some reason this year the headmaster wanted to spice it up” Coach Ukai grumbled. “HEY HEY HEYYY !!” *aren’t they.. ! THE ALUMINII”S!? * shoyo gapped and there was a loud choir of gasp and fangirling

“ . . .so,so loud” The pudding head hissed like a cat beside his tall rooster haired friend. Just then Kuroo actually spotted Shoyo and winked

*AHH did he just wink at me!? No no it was probably someone else, but why..does my stomach feel funny all of a sudden..it’s warm and tingly *

“Alright alright saddle down. Just because the alumni are here to watch doesn’t mean you can all go fangirling and lollygagging. If anything you should be more scared than anything, you see they aren’t just here to watch oh no no no, THEY will be your judges and you better pray to whatever god you believe in just because some of them seem easy going they’ve got some of the sharpest eyes in the academy no doubt about it.” Ukai smirked as fear cre[[ed onto the freshmans face

“Alright let the evaluation’s begin!”

Spoiler !!: the next filler will be about what went down since i wanna get this out but i’m trying to make it long so you guys can be fed

-after the evaluation-

“Hey you, chibi-chan~” It was Oikawa Tooru setter of the Aoba Johsai faction and an alumni

With all the Rumors, it was easy to find out that he just came back from overseas from an argentina youth training program.

“...Me?” Sho trying to make sure he heard that right spun around leading the group to stop and turn around as well

 

“Pretty sure you're the only human tangerine among us”...”yeahh last time i checked you’re the only 5 '4 shorty here..” Both Tsukishima and Kageyama smugly stated

“Keep talking i’ll drop-kick you into next with.” he shot them a glare

They shut up immediately not wanting to face his fury

*he’s way too scary to get on his bad side* -they both said in unison

“Yes, you cutie” Oikawa shot him a half lidded smirk

“It's quite cold, so please cut to the chase we have work to do and I'm hungry” Shoyo was exhausted the back to back matches

Along with the constant yelling and sweat

“You have quite the will power,your jumps? Impressive, honestly your speed and stamina are amazing but aside from that. Your practically nothing without a setter”

Silence. One beat two beats

Shoyo didn't know either to make a scene, drop kick him or straight up cry

“That was the most backhanded compliment and insult you burnt brownie.” the tall guy next to him hit the back of his head Iwazumi Hajhime? If he’d recall correctly

*Since you so busy insulting others you should be making sure you don't look dusty * Shoyo grumbled to tried to deal with anything after such intense matches and drill’s he could pass out any second

“Feisty! I like it, here you all look like you could use some” with that Oikawa threw them each a icey cold Ramune(a japanese soda)

“Thanks..” Yamaguchi thanked him on behalf of the others and they went on there ways back to the dorm to take a shower and finally get some rest

It was much needed after such a long and rough day out of all of them SHoyo looked like he needed some rest the most

“UGHHHHHH” he groaned his fluffy dishivelied damp hair spraying across his silk pillow case cover “finally alone and at peace at last, takeout check, Ginny and Georgie on and ready to binge check(what i'm currently watching and so far ngl i hate Ginny she pmo so much..). Time to relax and hope that i make it” shoyo sighed remembering that he might be missing something… *what is it.. * OH! His ben n jerry’s ice cream pints duh what’s a good chillaxing without ice cream (i've never had ben and jerry's..)

The others were either sleeping or watching a movie with some popcorn or food it was quite the peaceful and eventful day all at once but honestly it was worth it each filled with anxiety and hope, and silent prayers that each one of them if not all of them pass

-The next day-

Kageyama and shoyo as usually were out for there morning jog accidentally took a wrong turn caught up in the heat and meet a semi-familiar face

Miya Atsumu.

“Well,well well. If it isn’t the monster duo first year’s what bring’s yer both on this si’de of the academy hm?” His voice was deep and husky but you could tell he was a cunning person. One wrong word/move he would read you like an open book in seconds.

*whoa he’s quite the eye candy..wait shoyo this is no time to be drooling over good looks focus! * he snapped out of his thoughts

“We seem to have taken a wrong turn..if you don’t mind could you uhm,help us get back?” Shoyo hoped he would agree they couldn’t afford being late to class it would affect their overall scores

“Su’re yer both seem like yer could need it, but on one con’dition Shoyo-kun need to play a match with me as the spiker yer quite the interesting little thing aren’t ya”

Atsumu smirked his trademark smirk that if you know if long enough behind it is full of mischief . Dumbfounded Shoyo agreed kageyama on the other hand was a little suspicious and was on edge the whole way back even in the middle of class something just didn’t sit right with him he felt like he was forgetting something

Noticing shoyo gave him a nudge asking him what's wrong since he seems a bit off putted

“You okay? Ever since we got back to class you seem a little on edge” …silence… “oh uh. I’m fine just feel like i'm forgetting something” kageyama grumbled

-after class-
{Attention all first year student’s please make your way to the 2A-auditorium for a special announcement I repeat please make your way to the auditorium for a special announcement}

“? is something going on i thought results weren’t out till thursday, gosh this is the most eventful tuesday i’ve ever experienced” shoyo grumbled him and the gang as well as yachi were now heading to the 2A-auditorium along with other groups of students

You could tell nobody knew what the fuck was going on or about to happen nothing was mentioned in the morning announcements,or School new’s page so it could be anything

“Maybe a surprise visitor arrived? I mean we get those a lot” yamaguchi speculated the others just nodded

Guess the’ll just have to arrivie and see?

And surprise it was turns out every year they do a surprise welcome ceremony after the first year’s do there determination test it’s also like a send off for those who don’t make it atleast the food’s good..?

“This is honestly pretty cool never expected something like this” to everyone’s surprise it was Tsukishima who soke about the situation but who could blame him no one really expected it but atleast they can enjoy them selves and let go about the unending fact that they honestly might not make it, the coaches are unridectable and ruthless al they can do is hoe for the best, and cross there fingers.
