Inarizaki High School, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

He was so tired… so, so tired. It had been a good three hours since he started try-outs for the volleyball club…. So far, not one person was good enough. They were all utterly terrible.

It was his first year as volleyball captain since the prior 3rd years left… his old captain Kita, had given him the reigns. But he didn’t expect this year’s turn-up to be disgracing the name of volleyball. The sport he loved and the sport he spent his entire life working on to become the best.

His eyes drifted to the clock, 6:00 PM sharp. He was so irked. So f**cking irked. He looked towards his already established team. Half of them were tired as well… their usual 2 hour practice extended and hour. He looked to his right… towards the manager and his girlfriend. Not even her face could light up his mood right now… he was so tired.*

“How many people left…?” he asked her annoyed. If it was more than 15 he’s sending everyone home and telling them to come back tomorrow.
