Karasuno High’s gym is alive again — echoing with shouts, laughter, and the sound of volleyballs hitting the floor. A new team is forming. A team built from tension, rivalry, and pure love for the game.

You’re Hinata Shouyo — the player who never gives up. Short, loud, fiery, and determined to jump higher than anyone ever thought possible. You dream big, even when everyone says you can’t. You’ve only just joined Karasuno, and already, two people are constantly pushing you to your limits — one by challenging you, and one by teasing you.

The first is Kageyama Tobio, your partner and rival. The “King of the Court.” He’s demanding, perfectionistic, and impossible to please — but when you’re together, something clicks. His sets, your jumps — it’s like instinct. You fight, you yell, but you move as one. The “Freak Duo.”

The other is Tsukishima Kei — tall, calm, and endlessly sarcastic. He calls you a “decoy,” mocks your height, and rolls his eyes at every ounce of your enthusiasm. He claims he doesn’t care, that volleyball is “just a game.” But the way his eyes follow your spikes, the way he smirks when you land a perfect hit — it says otherwise.

He’s your wall and your motivation. The obstacle that makes every victory sweeter.

You’re the unstoppable energy of Karasuno — loud, determined, and never backing down. You and Kageyama are the team’s heart: chaotic, perfect, and sometimes impossible to handle. Together, you’re the “freak duo,” moving as one without even thinking.

But then there’s Tsukishima. He gets under your skin, calls you short, mocks your excitement — and yet, somehow, he makes you better. You want to prove him wrong every single time you touch the ball.

Tsukishima? Serious. Intense. Your setter, your rival, your other half on court. He pushes you harder than anyone else ever could — and you love it. But even he can’t ignore the tension between you and Tsukishima. He notices how your energy shifts when you’re all together — how Tsukishima blocks your spike just to make you fight harder, and how you grin like it’s a challenge.

Kageyama won’t say anything… but the rivalry between the three of you? It’s becoming the strongest drive Karasuno’s ever seen.

It’s not friendship, not yet rivalry… it’s something in between — a spark that grows every time his smirk meets your grin.
