35 Volleyball Tournament Part 1 (1/2)
With everyone separated into teams, Axel was ready for fun and payback when Kawakami suddenly said, ”Ah. Axel, Mishima and Ann. Could you three please come here for a second?”
Confused, Axel looked over to Ann incase she knew something but she only shrugged her shoulders. Axel sighed before making his way over to Kawakami with the pair in tow.
”Since the three of you are participating in the 'Teachers vs Students' matches, you'll be excused from the first match as the other students will meet up outside to decide teams.” Said Kawakami.
Kawakami saw Axel was about to ask something and said, ”Do you have a question, Axel?”
Without saying anything, Axel pointed to his team. Kawakami instanly realized what he meant and said, ”Don't worry, other students from our class that aren't currently competing will take over for you.”
Axel gave her a small nod before leaving the gym with Ann and Mishima quietly following behind him.

As Kawakami watched Axel's back as he left, she sighed as she muttered, ”I'm tired…” but before she could relax, a relatively large figure appeared beside her and tapped her shoulder.
Kawakami jumped from the sudden touch but relax when she saw who it was. In an exasperated tone she said, ”Kamoshida-sensei, please don't sneak up on me like that.”
Kamoshida gave a small laugh as he grinned and said, ”Sorry, sorry. You looked a bit tired so I wanted to wake you up.”
Rolling her eyes, Kawakami looked at him and said, ”Well, did you need something? Or did you really only come over here just to scare me?”
With a small cough to view his throat, Kamoshida looked in the direction of where Axel left and muttered, ”That student just now… the one with Ann. I don't think I've seen him before.”
Nodding her head, Kawakami said, ”That's natural. His name is Axel and he just started a couple days ago.”
Kamoshida continued looking at the door as his brows slowly furrowed.

(POV - Axel)
Outside the gym, a variety of students gathered in a clearing. Axel slowly made his way over with the pair silently following him from behind.
However, the silence didn't last long as a happy voice suddenly echoed, ”Ann! Over here!”
Axel stopped as a small smile appeared on his face. Turning around slightly, he saw a smile bloom on Ann's face as she quickly dashed over to the source of the voice.
Ann jumped at the figure as she happily said, ”Shiho!”
Shiho luckily managed to catch Ann as she chuckled and gave her a hug. After being released, Shiho turned towards Axel and signaled him to come over.
With a small smile, Axel slowly made his way over to the pair. However, before he could reach them, Axel stopped as he felt a strong grasp pull him from behind.
