The next week flew by in a whirlwind of training for Taichi. His daily routine consisted almost entirely of eating, sleeping, and playing volleyball.
But some things seemed inevitable—like Oikawa, as always had found a way to injure himself with a mild sprain—likely from showing off while playing volleyball with his nephew—and was barred from any kind of practice for nearly a week.
Fortunately, he would be back for their practice match against Karasuno.

"Alright, you two go stretch. Don't overdo it with the training; you'll only hurt yourselves," Iwaizumi instructed after assessing the two players' states.
"Yes!" Both Taichi and Kindaichi replied in unison before heading to the sideline to begin stretching.
[Host, would you like to exit training mode?]
The mechanical voice of the system chimed in Taichi's mind.
Oh? So considerate—it even asks for confirmation. Taichi silently responded...

Aoba Johsai eventually lost the practice match.
Even though Oikawa's serve earned three consecutive points to temporarily take the lead, the stark difference in overall ability between them and the university team was insurmountable for the time being.

The serve from Aoba Johsai (Seijoh) was sharp, but Miyagi University's receiver managed to catch it cleanly.
Instead of setting up their ace, they opted for a quick attack through the middle blocker, executing a sharp diagonal spike. Seijoh's defence responded in kind, and the ball volleyed back and forth for several intense rallies.
"Miyamura, pass me the ball! I won't lose my cool this time!" Maeda called out, his tone calm but determined.

[Miyagi University 15 vs 10 Aoba Johsai]
After a brief moment of silence, the Aoba Johsai team erupted into cheers.
"Nice! Taichi, that was awesome!" Oikawa smacked Kaedehara Taichi on the back. While it was only one point, it broke the opponent's momentum and lifted the previously heavy atmosphere surrounding the team.

"Wake up, wake up… How can you fall asleep while standing? The coach is calling you!"
Chen Jue was shoved forward from behind. Startled by the slightly angry-looking middle-aged man in front of him, his mind cleared in an instant. Memories surfaced—this was Aoba Johsai's training camp, and apparently, he was a substitute.
Worse, he had been caught dozing off on the sidelines!
"Taichi, after the match, I want you to dive around the court five times as pun...
