1 The Best Libero Award

"This is Heiji. The dance of the Teitan school boys' volleyball team. He's going to serve his best. Can he score?"

"That's right. Heiji's service is really great. Even the opposing team's players are afraid."

The commentators on Volleyball matches share their opinions. The ball flew into the air. Heiji jumped high then hit the ball hard. Instantly the ball flew very fast. It wasn't long before the opposing player received the serve and smiled broadly.

"Wow, what happened? The ball stopped.Who is he?"

One of the comments I asked. The atmosphere turned off bustling.

"It worked.We should be able to score."

A loud shout from the Teiko team captain. Setters then provide a quick pass to their Ace. Two opposing middle blockers try to block. But it's a shame they were too late on the jump. The ball finally managed to fall under the opponent's area.

"This is Shuichi Takao. Libero from Teiko school boys volleyball team."

His commentary friend then replied.

"It's great to be able to stop Heiji's deadly serve. The dance of the Teitan school boys' volleyball team."

The commentators at the volleyball match praised Takao.

"First, Forward. Teiko!"

There was an encouraging voice from the Teiko team's supporters. The Outside of Hitter performs a normal serve towards the opponent. The ball was then well received by the opposing Setter.

Good.

"Formation collapsed. Ball chance."

Team captain Teiko spoke to his teammates.

"I won't let it be a ball if chance."

Ace of the Teitan team said so. He jumped high then stretched his arms.Heiji wanted to do a smash. They're better than preparing to pass the ball.

"Heiji is going to smash you. Can the Teiko school boys volleyball team take that smash?"

The commentator spoke and the atmosphere turned tense again.After being hit by the ball then flies fast.

" Great!"

There was a sound of the ball bouncing into both hands. Libero of the Teiko school boys volleyball team received the ball. His body bounced back. Even so he managed to save the ball and give it right to the Setter.

"Nice receiver."

Rey who is the leader of the Teiko school team praises Takao. He then passed the ball to Furuya. An Outside of Hitter on their team. Furuya hits the ball then is blocked by the opposing team's two middle blockers. The ball bounced off the ground.

"Wow, block it out. The blow from Furuya who is the Outside of the Teiko school team is quite hard. Who will win the match?Teiko school boys volleyball team or Teitan?"

"The actors out their team is really strong. Their Ace, Outside Hitter and Libero are also great."

The match is over.Score 2-1. The man's volleyball team from Teiko school successfully defended the first place for the fifteenth time. One week after the winter tournament. Players earn the title with their positions. Shuichi Takao has the best Libero in Japan at the junior high level. Meanwhile, the Teiko school boys' volleyball team was also the best. The seasons have changed. Shuichi Takao was standing in front of the school building. After graduating from middle school, Teiko continued his education.

" Here it is."

Takao then I walked in.Howitize High School. The school will be a place to study in high school. New student's acceptance speech. Many students yawned sleepily from hearing long speeches. They felt bored standing there. Totally different from Takao. He looks very exciting. It could be said that only a small part could enjoy the speech.It wasn't long before the new student gathering ended. All students have disbanded. Takao set in the middle.His body was sweating. Friends sitting in the front, back, right and left side look scary. They were all students who should have advanced to second grade. You could say senior. During the lesson I didn't concentrate. The recess bell rings. Takao signed. I finally got out of class. He then stood up from his seat and walked away.

"It's scary, I'm scared."

After leaving the classroom, Takao stepped into the volleyball gym. When he got there, how surprised Takao was to see the man's volleyball gymnasium which was dirty and neglected. But different from one on the side. The women's volleyball team room looks clean even the floorboards are shiny.

"Good afternoon."

Takao greeted the female student who was practicing and waved at her hand.

"Who are you?"

A girl with short hair and a scary face asked and approached Takao. He walks with volleyball.

"I'm a first year student who wants to be a member of the volleyball team."

"Do you want to be a member of the volleyball team at this school?"

"Right now. Do you know where the other members are?"

Takao nodded his head slowly. All the girls who were there then laughed. Takao didn't understand why he was laughing at his question. A teacher who saw it approached Takao.

"Our school does not have members of the men's volleyball team. Apart from the third grade students who qualify and there are no more members of the men's volleyball team.Even the budget for the men's volleyball team will be diverted to the women's volleyball team."

It looks like the teacher is the coach of the women's volleyball team. Takao was very surprising after hearing that. He did not expect that the Howituiuguru school boys' volleyball team would be disbanded.

"In fact, this school's men's volleyball team won first place and participated in national championships."

The teacher looked at Takao. He had known and heard about Takao when he was in the middle school. His hunch said that the men's volleyball team would experience glory again. Therefore he wanted to see what Takao would do to revive a team that was no longer a member.

"Please excuse me?"

Takao bowed and then I left. He walked briskly with a sad expression on his face. Takao then I sat in the school garden. He still couldn't believe what the teacher said. But if those words are correct it means Takao did something. He still wants to play volleyball.

"What should I do?"

Takao covered his face with both hands then looked it up. Only minutes have passed.At that time Takao was still sitting in the garden.

"I have to make posters."

Takao wrote down the search for a new member of the volleyball team on a piece of paper. Later the writing will be made a poster sheet. Takao will start his work after he finishes school. The bell rings.Takao was still working on his paper. He will struggle to be able to play on the volleyball team along with other teammates. This was the first time he had to be bothered. Whereas in Teiko Middle School he only trained with great team members. There was never a fear of not being able to play volleyball. Hearing the bell to go home and then Takao immediately left. He ran to the printing press.

"Finally, I've arrived."

With an erratic breath Takao went inside. A printer approached him.
