These are thoughts

~~~

Mizuki pov.
"Zuki, come over here!" Gramps calls me, and I jog over to him.

"Mhm?" I ask.

"Why'd you come?" He asks.

I shrug. "I was with Keishi-nii when Sho came by to ask for help. Keishin just told me to come with them, so ya."

He sighs. "Well, since you're here, is there anything you wanted to work on?"

"Meh."

"Zuki."

"Fine. I need to practice my serves, and I should probably practice blocking and receiving, and some other stuff. Also, I wanna speed up my spikes a little."

"The high one?"

I nod. "Yup. I got my first ones a little faster, but now I wanna get my new ones faster. First tempo, or even faster."

Gramps thinks to himself. "You're going to join Shrimpy to practice spikes. First tempo with anyone."

"Um...okay?" I respond unsurely.

"Everyone, Zuki's gonna join in!" Gramps explains what I'm gonna do, and how high the sets could be.

"Yes sir!" He says.

I jog behind Hinata.

"We can alternate." I say, and he nods.

Hinata and I take turns spiking the ball at first tempo with more that one setters.

After hitting a few high sets with all the setters, Gramps calls me back.

"Yes?" I ask.

"I think you've got that down. Since you wanna practice other things too, block Shrimpy's spikes."

"Yesssir" I jog to the other side of the court and stand in the middle.

"I'm gonna get the ball past you, Zuki." Hinata says to me.

"Bring it." I smirk and reply.

Hinata does quick attack after quick attack, and the setters switch after every few sets.

I block some, but he spikes some past me.

After a while, Keishin comes back.

"How's it going?" I hear him ask.

Keishin and Gramps talk, but Hinata and I focus on the volleyball.

Then, it's time to go.

"Nice work, Zuki, Shrimpy." Gramps says to us, with the other people standing beside him.

"Will you be coming back again?" Yu asks both of us.

"Yup! Definitely!" Hinata says.

"Mizuki?" He asks me.

I look at Keishin, and he shrugs.

"I'll try, as often as I can." I smile to him, and he nods.

"Okay, let's head back now." Keishin says, and walks back.

"Bye everyone!" Hinata and I wave and we leave.

I slump in the back seat of the car. Hinata does the same beside me.

"That was tiring." I say, and he nods.

Keishin starts driving back.

"Y'know, Zuki, I think I got more spikes through your block than you blocking me." Hinata says.

"No way! I blocked way more of your spikes!" I protest.

"I got more through!"

"I blocked more!"

We start arguing.

"SHUT UP YOU GUYS!" Keishin yells.

We freeze, and instantly go quiet.

Then, we start laughing all the way back.

Keishin drops Hinata off at his place, and we go home.

We do the usual, and I quickly fall asleep.

Time skip to next day
~~~

The boring school day starts, and the team meets at lunch for practice.

I change, and I quickly meet the others at the gym.

I warm up with them, and then Keishin divides us into teams.

Team A: Kageyama, Azumane,  Tsukishima, Zuki, Narita, Ennoshita, Kinoshita

Team B: Suga, Hinata, Yamaguchi, Noya, Tanaka, Daichi

For our team, Kinoshita rotates in, and then someone rotates out.

I watch as Kageyama and Hinata pass each other, not speaking to one another.

That's no good.

We start our practice match, and practice our attacks, blocks, receives, and serves.

Once we finish the matches, we rest a little.

I see a few people practicing their own things themselves.

Everyone is practicing to improve.

But then people start getting in other people's way. I sweatdrop.

...this is weird to watch, with everyone bumping into each other.

Wait, I should practice too. Hahah ya.

I help Asahi try to get his jump serve down for now.

Then we go change and continue with our classes.

School finally ends for the day, and I head back to the gym and change.

"I asked the girls team if we could use the first gym, and they said we could." Daichi says to everyone. "So you can practice here or in the other one."

"Yes sir"

I guess since everyone's working on something, we need more space...

"Zuki, come over here!" Ennoshita calls me, and we go to the first gym.

Daichi, Suga, Tanaka, Ennoshita and I sit around Keishin.

"Here it is." Keishin taps a video of a volleyball attack.

"A synchronized attack."

Like Shinzen's attacks.

Keishin explains what to do, and we listen.

Once he's finished, we wait for Kageyama to take a break.

He sets the ball, trying to hit the bottle at the bottom.

Oh! He's doing a toss that stops... that's what Keishin left to do before. And Hinata is back with Gramps to practice.

After he's finished, we go on the court and try the attack.

And we miserably fail.

"Let's try slowing it down a little." I say to them. "Just to see how everyone is supposed to move."

They nod, and we try again.

We still fail. Again.

After we're finished, I slump on the ground. "I'm tired!"

The others chuckle.

"Ya, but we'll get it tomorrow." Daichi says.

"Yeah!"

Once the while team is done with practice, we change and leave.

I go home with Keishin, take a shower and I fall asleep.

~~~
Time skip
~~~

We practice and practice, making some progress every time.

We help each other out. I give some tips to Asahi who was learning to jump serve, and to Kageyama for his sets.

Kageyama also passes to me with his new sets. We keep practicing that, until we can somewhat get it.

Then, after two days, while we were practicing, Takeda bursts into the gym.

"Everyone! I have important news!" He exclaims.

We stop what we are doing and we gather around Takeda.

"What's happening?" Tanaka asks.

"You know our training camp at Tokyo?" He says, and we nod. "Well, we've decided to change things up a little. Or a lot."

We all look at him, confused.

"The training camp will go on of course, but it won't be in Tokyo. All the teams, got an invite to another training camp, so we're moving it there."

"Where?" Hinata asks, exited.

Takeda looks at me. "We're going to Canada."

A/N

I feel like this story is too long. I mean, it's a lot of chapters. Idk anymore.

Anyways, I'm gonna start editing some of the chapters. A lot of chapters. Just like spelling mistakes that the stupid person I am couldn't see before.

I'm not sure if you do or if this is how it works, but if you get a notification from this cause I'm editing stuff, I'm sorryyyyy!
