The Birth of A Volleyball Legend-Chapter 411: A 2V2 Game Against the Intruders! (II)

"OH YEAH, BABY!" Kaito grinned excitedly as he landed on the ground. "We get the first blood! Ha!" Even though what he said was not that excessive, since he had already established his image as a troublemaker, his celebration was followed by constant boos from the stand.

"Oh, shut up, you gay bastard!"

"This is not the place you can act like that! Go away!"

"Yuki! Riku! I swear to God I will kill you both if you lose this game!"

"Be more serious, you two! Our face is on the line here!"

Fortunately, Yuki and Riku were used to playing in this kind of crowd, so even though the pressure was increased, they were still calm enough to discuss what was going on in the last play.

"Sorry, that was my bad. I didn't see him coming." Yuki apologized.

"No, that was mine too. He blindsided us both." Riku admitted his mistake too. "It seems we are underestimating him a bit. Under his happy-go-lucky façade, he is also a player from the team that reaches the top 8 just like us, so it is a no-brainer that he is far from ordinary."

Yuki also nodded in agreement. He turned his eyes to the loud boy on the other side of the court and saw him in a different light. Riku was right. He underestimated the boy because of this ridiculous façade. However, that would only work once at the beginning of the game. Now that Yuki put his concentration on the opponent, he vowed to himself that he would lock the two intruders down for the rest of the game.

"Come on, Yuki! Riku! This is just the beginning!"

"Concentrate! Don't let him get the second point in a row!"

"Kill them!"

After the commotion died down a little and the four players on the court were ready, Megumi finally signaled for the game to be restarted again. This time, Kaito went to the service line, ready to attack from there.

Just as Yuki and Riku expected, the serve coming next was a powerful one straight to the middle. If it was against anyone else, this kind of serve would be troublesome to handle, not only because of the power, but the direction could cause misunderstanding between two players. However, Yuki and Riku had been playing together for a long time by now and they formed a tacit understanding for this kind of ball. Riku didn't even bat his eyes as he moved straight to the front, while Yuki himself dived exactly like what Yusuke did in the last play.

BAM!

"Oh! Hell yeah, Yuki!"

"Nice save!"

While the supporters were cheering for the save, Yuki didn't stay idle. He knew that the key for a 2v2 game like this was the quick recovery from the players, so he got up immediately and rushed forward, ready to attack.

Kaito and Yusuke on the other side of the court also saw this, and due to Yuki's quick movement, they both got attracted and came to close the area for the glasses boy to attack. Of course, this kind of opportunity would never slip from Riku's eyes. The setter didn't even blink as he saw the area in front of him was open and flicked the ball gently over the net.

Thud!

"YES!"

"That is what we are talking about!"

"Come on! Kill those two idiots!"

While the crowds went frenzy, Yuki and Riku just high-fived each other calmly. They knew that this was still the beginning of this game, so there was no need to waste their energy celebrating just one point play that they got so easily.

"Nic bait, Yuki! That is a good run!" Riku praised his friend.

"Yeah, the execution is also perfect. Good job." Yuki returned the praise.

It was always important to acknowledge each other in every play, not only to reduce miscommunication between each other but also to keep their morale high all the time. After all, getting praised for doing a good job was definitely a morale boost even though it came from teammates.

"Come on, Riku-sama! You can do this!"

"Give us a good serve!"

Even though Riku's serve accuracy was far below Yuki's, since there were only two players on the other side of the net, it was easy for him to target one of them. Since it was clear that Kaito's quality as a setter was subpar, he decided to go for Yusuke, forcing the obnoxious boy to get the second ball.

BAM!

"Shit! Sorry, Kaito! The ball is not good!" Yusuke scowled when he saw the ball fly far higher than his initial intention.

"Don't worry, I got this!" Kaito shouted.

To everyone's surprise, though, instead of setting up a play, Kaito rushed from the back, tracking the ball closely before leaping forward in a spike stance. Yuki who was on the front line got caught off guard, but he still tried his best to stop the attack. As a result…

BAM!

"One touch!" Yuki shouted. He managed to soften the blow with the tip of his fingers.

"Don't worry, Yuki! I got this!" Riku rushed toward the ball immediately, sending it back to Yuki. Since Riku was out of position from reaching the ball, Yuki couldn't give a normal setup to counterattack, so he gave a normal pass to Riku who sent the ball back to the other side of the court.

However, Riku sent it far to the spot close to the baseline, forcing Yusuke to go back and chase the ball. At least, this ensured them both that it would be Kaito who got the second ball again, and he was easier to handle in that kind of situation.

BAM!

Just like they expected, Kaito went for a dump spike once again instead of setting up an attack or sending an easy ball to the opponent. However, this time, Yuki was ready as he received the ball perfectly. Then, since the ball was flying close to Riku and he himself had already recovered after saving the ball, it was the perfect time for them to counterattack.

"Yuki!"

With Kaito just landing from the last attack and Yusuke far on the back, it was easy for Yuki to execute the ball. He didn't even hit it hard, just pushed it to the left side where there was no protection in it.

Thud!

"Yes!" Yuki clenched his fist when he saw the ball fall on the other side of the court.

However, before he or anyone else could say anything, Kaito interrupted with his childish rant. "Man, this is not fair! You both are cheating here!"
