"Osamu, Osamu, that was amazing!"

  "Osamu, Osamu, you jump so high!"

  "What a precisely timed set! Miya Osamu's spike was fwless."

  "The synizatioweewins is on a whole other level!"

  Aran Ojiro looked more thrilled than the Miya twins themselves. "Ah, brotherly love is truly something special!"

  "Only twins could have sushakable trust in one another!"

  "Not at all!"

  The twins shouted in unison, instantly disproving Aran's statement.

  The irony of their synized denial didn't escape anyone's notice. Aran half-expected Shia to chime in with a witty retort, but the Inarizaki captain simply averted his gaze in quiet resignation.

  "I just khe ball would e to me," Osamu suddenly remarked, breaking the momentary silence.

  "That's so unfair," Yahaba Shigeru muttered as he observed the opposier, uo hide his frustration.

  What stung the most was the likelihood that either of the Miya twins might be a better setter than him.

  "Huh? Yahaba-senpai, what are you talking about?" Kindaichi Yūtarō asked, his face radiating cluelessness.

  "Iionals, you get to see so many incredible pyers with exceptional talent and creativity. Even when fag Oikawa-senpai, they're not at all outmatched," Yahaba expined, his toinged with envy.

  Still, Kindaichi's fusion didn't waver. Uo hold back, Yahaba posed a sario:"Imagihere's a pyer who isn't even an attacker, but their spikes are strohan yours. What would you do?"

  Kindaichi didn't eveate. "That's easy. We've already got someone like that right here!" He poioward the court. "Oikawa-senpai, obviously. Even though he's a setter, his spikes are better than anyone else's."

  Yahaba: "..."

  He felt an immense urge to sigh.

  In truth, Yahaba had a more pressing on his mind. After Oikawa and the other seniraduated, he oised to i the role of Aoba Johsai's startier.

  Would the team experience a gring drop in performaer Oikawa's departure? Would they struggle to adjust to his less refined sets?

  Especially with Taichi as their ace, Yahaba doubted he could tailor his sets as perfectly as Oikawa could.

  But this wasn't the time to be caught up in such worries. Snapping out of his thoughts, Yahaba refocused och.

  The scoreboard now read [Aoba Johsai 16 – 14 Inarizak.

  After learning a eique, the Miya twins had bee engrossed in it. While it had scored them several points, it had also resulted in two critical errors.

  The two-point gap betweeeams remained, but at this pace, Inarizaki's attacks would only grow more polished, and tering them would bee increasingly difficult.

  It was Atsumu Miya's turn to serve again.

  Aoba Johsai had studied Atsumu's serves iail the previous night. Despite Atsumu being a "dual-wielding" server like Oikawa, his choices were far less uable.

  With careful analysis led by Oikawa and helped by the meta-knowledge from Taichi, the team had identified a key differen Atsumu's serves—it y in his footwork.

  Before serving, Atsumu always measured his steps from the baseline. A jump float serve required four steps, while a powerful jump serve required six steps.

  The first step to tering Atsumu's serve was reizing the type based on his footwork!

  Atsumu stepped onto the service line.

  Four steps—jump float serve!

  Aoba Johsai's back-row pyers adjusted slightly forward in preparation.

  "Oh?" Osamu smirked as he noticed the subtle shift in Aoba Johsai's formation. "Looks like they've doheir homework on Atsumu's serves. But..." His smile widened. "Even if you've figured out the serve type from his steps, you're just getting to the starting line."

  Bang!

  Atsumu Miya's serve shot across the court, arriving in front of Watari Shinji in the blink of an eye.

  Before Watari could fully raise his hands, the ball zipped past his head and plummeted sharply.

  "!!!"

  This jump float serves...it's even strohan Oikawa's!

  The ball nded ly inside Aoba Johsai's court.

  Miya Atsumu's serve earned a direct point!

  [Aoba Johsai 16 – 15 Inarizak

  "It's not just Aoba Johsai's Oikawa who masterfully execute two types of serves. Inarizaki's Atsumu Miya is just as formidable in this area!"

  "What a stunning serve! The movement seems even more uable than Oikawa's."

  "The strength of a team and the quality of its serves are closely linked. Up to this point, every single Inarizaki pyer has posed a serious threat with their serves, but Atsumu Miya undoubtedly stands out the most."

  "Oher hand, Aoba Johsai occasionally gives aportunities with their serves. If they don't recim the serve quickly, this could be Inarizaki's ce to overtake them!"

  Atsumu, riding the high of his successful jump float serve, would typically switch to a powerful jump serve o showcase his versatility.

  However, having been outperformed in serves by Aoba Johsai's setter at the start of the match, Atsumu wasn't in the mood to show off. He was solely focused on sg points aing the results speak for themselves.

  Bang!

  The sed serve—another jump float!

  Watari reacted swiftly this time, raising his hands in preparation. But the ball deviated from its expected trajectrazing his fiips and flying out of bounds.

  "I've got it!"

  Hanamaki Takahiro darted toward the sideline, diving at the st moment to send the ball bato py. Kunimi Akira, forced into an emergency attack, merely sent the ball over the .

  "ce ball!"

  Akagi Miari received the ball fwlessly, sending it up toward Atsumu, who was already in position for the set.

  Kaedehara Taichi and Oikawa Tōru exged a ghe same thought fshing in their eyes.

  It's a great teique, isn't it?

  Quick attacks that pletely bypass the blockers, sg over their heads...

  A brilliant dispy of the setter's skill and the spiker's speed...

  And the sho the spectators' faces is incredibly satisfying...

  They'd learhis move in a match, refi in a match, and now it was their turn to ter it in a match.

  When the first touch is solid, there's no doubt—the ball will be sent to the for a quick attack!

  "Double block!"

  Instead of an undefended wo pairs of hands loomed rge in front of Miya Osamu as he leapt for the spike.

  Already mid-air and itted to the attau had no time to rethink his options. His quick attack was swift and fluid, but—

  Smack!

  The ball smmed into Kaedehara Taichi's arm and ricocheted bato Inarizaki's court.

  "Gotcha!"

  "Inarizaki's lightning-fast twin quick attack is no match for the inal masters!"

  Aoba Johsai's block earhem a point!

  [Aoba Johsai 17 – 15 Inarizak

  "Nice block, Taichi!"

  "Nice block, Oikawa-senpai!"

  "It seems Oikawa and Kaedehara were absolutely certain the ball would go to the for a quick attack. What impeccable coordination!"

  "I've had enough of you two hopping around in front of me," Oikaouted, though his tone was smug.

  Taichi, in trast, maintained a polite expression as he addressed the Miya twins.

  "Actually, this move isn't something we came up with ourselves."

  "We lear from someone else."

  "Oh, and the inal version of the quick attack is even more devastating than ours," Taichi added with a sudden cheer. "But here's the thing—we defeated them to staoday."

  His expression sharpened, his gaze log onto the Miya twins, whose faces had darkened.

  "Senpai, no one knows better than me how to defeat this quick attack!"
