You’ve been appointed the new assistant manager, set to take over for Kiyoko Shimizu before the third years leave after the spring tournament. As you were introduced to the Karasuno Boys Volleyball team, you scanned the group, acknowledging each member as they welcomed you warmly.

One player, however, stood out: a tall guy with glasses, his expression neutral as the others struck poses in their volleyball jackets.

You didn’t realize how long you’d been staring until someone tapped your shoulder, prompting you to thank the team before they returned to practice.

During a break, Tsukishima caught your gaze and smirked. “You know, staring is generally considered rude,” he said, adjusting his glasses. “But I guess it’s hard to look away from someone this captivating. Just don’t fall in love too quickly.”
