Vol 3 Prologue (1/2)
The most important number for volleyball was three
Receiving, tossing, and attacking was the basic strategy To receive, one planted their feet on the ground, prepared their shoulders, and received the ball Each tearoups of three and victory was determined by whoever won three sets first
It was not a simple sport that could be ith just three people, but three powerful players could greatly increase a team’s overall offense and defense
The su event just before summer break and Fujita Mutsuki’s class had placed their three e who excelled at all sports, Satowa Lucia who did the sairls softball team
Ibekusa Machina and Tomono Sakae had also been placed on the tea the total up to six
Machina had been an unexpected boon for the team While she would not take the initiative, she was perfect at accurately placing the ball in the perfect spot for the attacker to make their move
However, the threeplayers had an unexpected flaw
“Wah, ah! Knock it up a little higher than that!”
It was afterschool on the volleyball court at one corner of the school grounds
Ange panicked as the ball tossed to her stopped at about knee height She still ed to flip around in ht in the net
“She got tangled up again!”
Her own teahed cheerfully
“Hey, hey Did you see that, Mutsuki-kun? She really is clu the net is a foul, isn’t it? F! O! U! L!”
“Y-yes, it is Now, Lucia-kun, can we start practicing?”
Even though he was laughing at Ange, Lucia was still learning the rules hi to Mutsuki
As the class representative, Sakae was also leading the volleyball teaed
Mutsuki felt bad that it was his roo, so he turned to the last member of the team
Kurikara Saya sat on the edge of the bench and showed no sign joining them as they practiced
She rinkling her brow and clearly looked unwell
Mutsuki orried she was sleep deprived, and then their gazes met
“Ah”
She would normally smile whenever she saw someone, but she looked away a little aardly
Each tea the practice court, so after a set amount of time passed, they let the next team take over The five of thes on, which was in the opposite direction from Saya
“Sigh~ I don’t have any coht not even be able to win the first round like this”
Their teaerated sigh
He had not been trying to h of his own
Their individual athletic abilities were ten tiined
They were hiding their identities, but Fujita Mutsuki was surrounded by representatives of heaven, hell, and the hue, Satowa Lucia, and Ibekusa Machina respectively Their physical abilities far surpassed those of a normal human
However, Lucia wasfun, and…
“Wait, Ibekusa! Toss the ball to me a little better than that! I can’t reach it!”
“Juher than that would seeht I provide you Using the powers of an angel for sports is unfair”
“I don’t care!”
Machina did not want to show off any athleticise’s abilities went to waste with her assistance
They only had three days until the ball gaanizations, so getting the to be easy
“Well, there’s nothing we can do about a bad luck Our very first ainst the teachers team led by that Demon God”
Resignation filled Sakae’s voice as he watched the next tea
“I guess I should count myself lucky for the rare opportunity to see Katsue-sensei dressed like this”
They had given up the court to the teachers tea on their formation
One of them was Katsuie Subaru, homeroom teacher of Mutsuki’s class
She was a beauty who looked at hoent outfit She usually wore a crisp suit, so seeing her go through her warm-up exercises in a red track suit was a new experience
Megutono Acadeescale It included volleyball, soccer, baseball, and even more sports and teams were formed by year, class, and club
The teachers were no exception, so there was even a teachers teainally meant as a way for the teachers to deepen their friendshi+p with the students, but a lot of the teachers could be immature
“Let’s get started, Katsue-sensei, Daima-sensei! …One!”
“Twoooo!”
“Threeeeeee!”
An i across the court
Mutsuki and the others were up against the volleyball representatives for the teachers team in their first
“Gahhh! This isn’t fair! That Demon God’s very existence isn’t fair~”
Sakae paled as he iainst that attack Mutsuki’s eyes were also naturally drawn to Daima-sensei who had made the attack
At 190 cm at least, the teacher was a head taller than the rest
She did not seem slender and powerful The face below her short-cropped chestnut hair was young enough to pass for Mutsuki’s age, but her height was another matter entirely
She was Daiutono Academy’s PE teacher
She was so the girls due to the sense of security brought by her sociable personality and her height
However, that friendly side had led to her gaining the nickname Demon God as a pun on her family name
