The Birth of A Volleyball Legend-Chapter 436: Do You Really Want to See A Dirty Trick?

"Ha! I got you two!" Kaito pointed his finger at both Yuki and Riku alternately as he grinned victoriously at them both. "See what I mean? Without your dirty trick, you both are nothing!" He exclaimed with a provocative smile. Even though the supporters couldn't hear it since they were too far from the crowd, they still could guess what he said and exploded immediately.

"Bastard! I cannot hold back anymore!"

"Shit! Someone, hold him back! He is about to go crazy!"

"No, don't hold him back! Let him beat that gay bastard on the court!"

"Yeah! He doesn't deserve any mercy!"

Meanwhile, back on Tsunemori's court, Hirano rose from his seat immediately and approached the coach with a solemn gaze. "Sensei, please, let me in."

Megumi who was next to the coach was stunned when she saw this. In her mind, Hirano was probably the most-steady player in the team. So, for him to be this anxious, things seemed to not go well for the team.

As for Akira, he could only sigh helplessly at the request. "Sit down first and wait for your turn, don't be too impatient." He finally said. "Even though I also think that your presence is needed, we can only put you back when it is our turn to rotate, and in the next rotation, it is Koji's turn to be on the front line. Even though he hasn't done well this game, I don't have any intention to replace him, especially when we lack power in our offense. So, wait for at least the next two rotations until Oka-kun is back and you will have your chance again later."

In the end, Hirano clicked his tongue in annoyance, yet still followed the coach's instruction obediently. He also knew that his request was rude, and his presence also wouldn't change the game too much for Tsunemori. It had been proven in the last couple of plays when he failed to stop Kaito's attack from piercing his wall. This was just his egoistical request as he wanted to take revenge on Kaito, and honestly, it was already good that Akira still gave him a face by explaining why it was not his time yet. Normally, a coach could get offended by this kind of rude request and decide to bench the player for the rest of the game or even more in the future.

As for the players on the court, Yuki had a hard time not lashing out and attacking the opponent with his words, especially when he heard what Kaito said earlier. Although there was no hint of excessive words in it, since the current atmosphere was pretty heated, Yuki got carried by his emotion and was ready to trash-talk back to the obnoxious boy on the other side of the court.

Fortunately, Riku was calm enough to stop him from doing anything stupid that could get caught by the referee – which was strange since everyone expecting he would be the first one whose emotion went out of control in this game.

"Okay, take a breath first and cool your head down," Riku instructed his friend. When Yuki was calm enough to discuss things like a normal human being, the blonde boy smiled, satisfied with the result. "Good. I know you are frustrated, and I sure as hell feel the same right now. However, we both are the key players of the team. We cannot be replaced, especially in a situation like this. Don't forget that we are still in the lead, okay?"

Yuki nodded, knowing that Riku was right. With them still leading by four points, if no one from Kikugawa High could get out of the pressure from the supporters, no matter how many points they scored, it would be useless. However, Yuki was still unhappy with the provocation, and it would make him uncomfortable if he didn't do anything.

"Oh, I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, we will retaliate." Riku suddenly smirked when he saw a devious smile form on Yuki's face. "So, he wants a dirty trick, huh? Let's show them a real dirty trick!"

A moment later, the game continued again, and just like before, when Ayane was serving the ball, the constant boos from the stand distracted the player, forcing him to make a mistake as the ball failed to cross the net. There was a series of sighs from the Kikugawa High as this was a huge problem they needed to solve. It didn't matter how much they scored if they would return the point instantly after that.

The next one who served the ball was Asahi. He didn't do any complicated movement, letting the ball fly across the net. As a result, Yusuke picked up the ball easily, giving Ayane a chance to counterattack which he didn't waste as the setter sent it quickly to Kaito.

"Ha! Come on, you can stop me!" Kaito grinned, pointing his fingers toward Yuki and Riku. Just like earlier, those two were outlasted in the air, making it look like the boy attacked without any blocker in front of him.

This situation was pretty similar to when Tsunemori High played against Tsukiji High. At that time, they were also having trouble stopping a tall spiker like Michael Wang. However, even with his monstrous physicality, Michael Wang was just a novice who only knew a single method to attack, and Kaito was an experienced player who knew a lot of tricks depending on the situation on the court. That was why they couldn't treat this as the same.

After that, the next one to serve was their pinch server, Akito. For that, all of the Kikugawa players sighed in relief. After all, besides Kaito, the boy was the only one who didn't get affected by the boos from the crowd, so if he was successful in this serve, this would allow them to narrow the gap between the two teams.

Thud!

"Shit! Sorry, Riku, pick it up!" Asahi cursed when he saw the ball he received was too short for the setter.

"Don't worry, Senpai! I get this!"

For a moment, Riku met an eye contact with Yuki before the glasses boy rushed forward in a heartbeat. Kaito who saw that also reacted, intending to show off his dominance over those two. However, he frowned a little when he saw the pass coming from Riku was too short.

'A mistake?' He thought inwardly.

BAM!

As expected, with the pass being too short for Yuki to hit, the glasses boy didn't have any chance to get through the wall formed by Kaito. However, right when Kaito was about to celebrate, the referee suddenly blew the whistle, and to everyone's astonishment, he pointed his hand at Tsunemori's side, indicating it was them who got the point.

"Number 8, net touch violation! Point for Tsunemori High!"

And just after that, Yuki smirked and returned all the provocative words from the boy with one sentence. "So, you want a dirty trick, huh? Let us show you the real dirty trick!"
