บท 76: A Quick Lead!

Yuki was taken aback when he saw the ball suddenly zoomed into his direction. He didn't know whether Nitta did it deliberately or not, but Yuki didn't expect Kyoei to target him from the first attack. Still, he didn't lose his focus, keeping his eyes on the ball while glancing at Riku's position in the front. What he didn't expect though, was for the ball to suddenly drop drastically before it could cross the net.

*SPLASH!*

Instead of crossing to the other side of the court successfully, the ball hit the net, making Kyoei's players on the front-line wince unconsciously when they realized a powerful spike flew past their faces a second ago. The silence befell the court was finally broken by the cheers exploding from the crowds.

"YOSSHAA!!"

"Come on! We got the first point!"

"Come on, everyone! Don't give them any chance to score!"

"Beat them all!"
