37 Volleyball Tournament Part 3 (2/2)

Axel stared in disbelief at the sheer speed and power Kamoshida was able to apply in the volleyball.

However, this only served to fire Axel and his team up.

For almost half an hour, a game of back and forth played out on the court as everyone stared with baited breaths, refusing to look away for even a second.

Originally, everyone expected for Kamoshida to easily wipe the floor with the other team but contrary to popular thought, Axel and co managed to score 2 points in a row, earning a temporary lead.

This irritated Kamoshida greatly. Even though he managed to hide it, he started taking the game more seriously, which pushed the team to there limits.

Mishima was panting in the back, slightly swaying as if he was in the verge of passing out, red marks all over his arms.

Ann wasn't any better as she even had small bruises from having to dive on the floor to keep the ball in play.

Shiho and Makoto were relatively better than everyone else as they only panted slightly and had a light sweat.

Kawakami was the worst as she looked like she would pass out, even though she didn't move as much as everyone else.

Axel was the best as he had a calm breathing pace and barely worked up a sweat, only slightly annoyed about the pain in his arms.

However, the thing everyone had in common was the fire that was present from the beginning still continued to burn brightly in their eyes.

Even though they were tied, the referee yelled, ”Last serve! You guys are almost out of time! Score is 12 - 12.”

Suddenly, Kamoshida glared at Axel and said, ”Lets finish this!”

Kamoshida released the ball high into the air and leaped after it. He fiercely swung his arm down and roared, ”GOLDEN SERVE!!!”

Gritting his teeth, Axel used as much power as he could and directly met the attack in an attempt to gain control.

However…

*BANG*

'Argh!!!'

The serve was stronger than he thought as he felt his skin burn from the pain. Pushing through, Axel tensed his muscles and launched it into the air.

Yet this was a mistake as he launched it way too high. Kamoshida smirked as he knew that if it continued on its descent, it would eventually end up out of bounds on his side of the court, basically guaranteeing the win.

Everyone almost lost hope when suddenly, Axel screamed, ”TACTIC 13!!!”

Almost immediately, Kawakami went pale as she yelled, ”DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!” Causing Ann, Makoto and Mishima to freeze in place.

However, Shiho completely ignored her as she started sprinting towards Axel and jumped.

Then, under the eyes of the everybody present, everyone watched in horror as Axel cupped his hands down low, caught Shiho's feet mid-jump and launched her into the air with every ounce of strength he could muster while screaming, ”GO!!!”

Shiho was launched at least a couple storeys off the ground. But there was no fear on her face, only determination. Using the momentum from the launch, Shiho forward flipped with a spin and smashed the ball down with an over-head kick.

As her spin came to a stop, Shiho stared at the roof for a second before closing her eyes and falling. She could hear all sorts of people screaming but she ignored them as she started to think.

She thought about Ann, her problems, Kamoshida, Volleyball. Her thoughts continued to get more and more erratic until one thought appeared.

Axel, the new kid. He somehow managed to wiggle his way into her heart. However, Shiho was quickly dragged out of her inner thoughts as she suddenly heard a loud and manly roar.

”I FUCKING GOT THIS!!!”

The feeling of weightlessness was replaced by a warm embrace accompanied with an addicting masculine smell and a rather loud thud.

Shiho opened her eyes, only to see Axel with sweat pouring down his face and arms. Taking a deep breath, Axel glanced down at her, smiled and said, ”We won.”
