These songs inspired me to write this story.

A volleyball player from Karasuno inspired me to join volleyball clubs. I never thought that I would like volleyball because of him. The world is full of stereotypes. They say, Volleyball is only for girls and Basketball is only for boys. Oh how naive I am to think all of these are true. As I get older, I am starting to think that any gender can join any sport. Girl or Boy, you are qualified to any sport.

- Third Person's View -

Hinata thought all of these after seeing the person who inspired him on TV. He was tired of the stereotypes he encounter during his younger years.

While laying down, he was thinking on what he wants to do, and then suddenly an idea popped up in his head. He wants to try Volleyball for the first time. He took his bag from the floor and got his bike and went straight to his school. This was his last year until he graduates elementary. When he entered the court, the coach saw him and asked.

"*Good Afternoon, Shoyo. What brings you here?"

"I- I am here to try volleyball*!" Hinata is panting.

The coach stared at Shoyo before letting him do the try outs. Shoyo was doing great with the try outs but his teammates seems to be upset.

"Hey, are you guys fine?" Hinata asked.

"Not really, In 3 months, we'll be competing other schools." Teammate 1 replied.

"3 months isn't enough! We'll be competing the best team." Teammate 2 continued.

"Hey, Hey, don't be negative! We got this. If we trust each other then we got this!" Hinata cheered them up.

His teammates looked at each other. They realized that trust is the only hope to win. Not trusting your companions can lead to misunderstandings and that would crash the goal you've hoped with your team.

Starting that day, all of them trained and practiced so hard. They may not have the very professional coach but he tries to let them more trained and ready for their match.

Sleepless nights, they trained all week, without noticing they are all overworked. They really want to achieve the goal. They lost track with their academics causing them to fail some specific subjects.

The coach told them to stop the training for a week. They needed to focus on their academics first.

"Everyone, please gather." The coach asked.

Everyone gathered in the court.

"Your academic teachers told me that some of you are failing academics. I get that you want to win but pressuring yourselves can't help. Rest and study first, everyone! One week break." The coach told them.

They nodded but they didn't listen to what the coach told them. Every dismissal, they would sneak in in the volleyball court and train theirselves, they don't what the consequences are, the coach already warned them.

They were secretly practicing, it wasn't that long that they got caught by a security guard. The day after they were caught, they got sent in the principal's office for their punishment. The coach was there with them looking so very disappointed. The players and the coach were scolded by the principal.

After they got out, their coach didn't say a single word, he just went straight out of the scene. The players were guilty, Hinata im the other hand, wasn't. He knew that he needed to work very hard to beat that Kageyama guy. Kageyama was also known as "King of the Court". Hinata also wants to be famous as him.

Starting that day, Hinata trained his own self in their backyard. It might be so hard for him to train solo but he wants to win that match badly. He goes up very early to jog and practice spiking after.

He worked so hard. His team in the other hand, tried their best to catch up the academics they failed. They were also scolded by their parents after they saw their grades. Hinata, didn't let his parents see his grades cause he knew that they would go fire after seeing it, he excused that his grades weren't there yet.
