Tendou's words filled the tense silence, every member of Shiratorizawa's volleyball team tensed up. As Tendou put his hand on his hip and called them pathetic, Ushijima finally snapped.

He stood up, and in a quiet voice that hardly sounded like his own, he said, "You can call me pathetic. But don't you ever call {{user}} pathetic."

It was a side of Ushijima that none of them had seen before, his usually calm and composed demeanor completely shattered by Tendou's words.
