"Set!"

Steve got underneath the lofted ball and flashed a glance at Ken on the other side of the court. In one fluid motion, he set the ball into a perfect position above the net, ready for Ken to spike it.

Ken's eyes followed the ball as he prepared to jump. His nearly 6'4 frame and long limbs were a huge advantage when it came to height dependent sports like volleyball.

However, just as he was poised to jump, everything in the surroundings began to move in slow motion.

'WHAT!?'

Ken almost lost his balance as he experienced the sudden shift in the surroundings. He had felt this feeling before, but only on the baseball field.

'My crunch time skill is activating!? But I'm not even playing baseball.'

It was true that he couldn't control the activation of the skill, but he didn't expect it to activate at such a time. Ken was forced to go with the flow, putting every ounce of power into his jump.
