"Isn't it because everyone likes you?"

"!"

"I think this is very enviable." Lin Yan's voice was full of gentleness, and the gentleness in his eyes was touching. Chizuru Himawari also felt this gentleness. "You only rested a little before the competition because of your injury. No one will blame you for staying behind to continue practicing every day for the past three years! Tamara also said that she wanted to participate in the competition with you. But she has already caused you to get injured, and I can't let my willfulness bother you anymore."

"But that's really great." Chizuru Himera finally saw hope, and a huge weight was lifted from her heart. "Now that you say that, it seems there are no problems at all."

"?" Reina Kariyuu still had some doubts in her heart.

"Because, aren't all the same selfish desires—wanting to participate together, hoping the other person will participate in the final match—the same thing?"

"!"

"let's go!"

Chizuru Himeragi reached out her hand to Rena Kariyuu, wanting only to help her up so that Rena wouldn't regret what she had done that day, because by then it would be too late.

"That's great. To be honest, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to pull you away on my own. I was planning to ask Lin Yan to help if needed." Chizuru Himera even spoke the truth, which was already a very serious matter.

Lin Yan said calmly.

"Would you be willing to run even without me pulling you?"

Reina Kari looked at Chizuru Hishiro with immense gratitude. This was the person who had pulled her out of the darkness, the person who had been so kind to her.

At that moment, a voice rang in Reina Kariyu's mind.

"Don't run away, Karui."

This voice gradually overshadowed her previous timidity, and Reina Kariyu decided to listen to the voice deep within her heart and leave no regrets.

“If I sprint at full speed, you probably won’t be able to keep up,” she said to Chizuru Himeragi.

“I can’t deny that!” Chizuru Himeragi said.

"Thank you." Reina Kari's words of thanks were heartfelt, filled with immense gratitude.

“You’re 90% stubborn and 10% frank,” Chizuru Himeragi said.

"This is really tiring."

“They’re clearly thanking me!” Chizuru Himeragi and Rena Kari were chatting happily, and the atmosphere between them was getting better and better.

The plan succeeded, and Lin Yan's help to Himawari Chizuru wasn't in vain. After all, Kariyu Reina wasn't a reckless girl; she was kind-hearted, but teenage love always makes one more possessive and unwilling to let anything be shared.

At this moment, Lin Yan received a series of text messages.

"The first game was lost! Yu Lai seems to be in bad shape."

"The second game also feels dangerous! The odds of winning are entirely in their hands!"

"Ah! They're catching up a bit!"

"Are you watching, Lin Yan?!"

This is the current progress of the match, and the situation doesn't look very optimistic. If they lose the second game as well, things will become quite tricky.

Volleyball matches are played in a best-of-five-sets format, with the team winning three sets winning the match. A team scores one point for each point won, using a rally-based scoring system. The receiving team scores one point and gains the right to serve when they win a point, with players rotating clockwise. In each set, except for the deciding fifth set, the first team to reach 25 points and lead by two points wins the set. If the score is 24-24, the match continues until one team leads by two points, ending as one set. In the deciding set, the first team to reach 15 points and lead by two points wins. If the score is 14-14, the match continues until one team leads by two points, i.e., 16-14 or 17-15, etc.

If you lose the second round, there's still a possibility of a comeback, but hoping your opponent makes mistakes in all three rounds is impossible. In that case, the defeat is essentially irreversible.

Therefore, we must defend the second game at all costs.

This goes on and on.

Only then can we have a chance of winning.

However, this competition is even more challenging, as non-final matches are usually three games, and losing the second game means the match is over.

"Kari! Volleyball non-finals should be three sets, right?"

"That's right, except for the finals, all games are three sets."

"Hurry! It seems like we're at a disadvantage in the game right now!"

Say it.

The three of them rushed out, heading straight for the competition venue. If Rena Kariyu could perform normally, they still had a chance of winning.

After all, the core of this team, besides Tamaki Moka, is Karyu Reina. Right now, Tamaki Moka is carrying the team alone, which is very disadvantageous for the game. If Karyu Reina were to cooperate, it would not just be one plus one equals two, but a much greater force.

A multi-purpose gymnasium.

Lin Yan, who had the best stamina, arrived at the stadium first, followed by Kariyu Reina, and then Himejiro Chizuru. At this moment, Kariyu Reina suddenly complained.

"Oh no, I forgot to bring my hair tie. My hair is such a nuisance."

Chizuru Himeragi untied the hair tie from her twin tails and handed it to Rena Kariyuu. "It's okay, use mine first. The competition is important."

"Thank you."

Ding dong.

Lin Yan's phone rang again; it was a text message from Da Shen and Chen.

"We barely won the second game! The final game is about to begin! Hurry up!!" Things are a little better than expected; at least there's still a chance to win. If the match ends now, their competition will be completely over, with no chance left, becoming their biggest regret.

As soon as the doors opened, the tension of the intense competition was palpable. The tension wasn't limited to the players; even the spectators in the stands wore expressions of excitement and nervousness. After all, two matches had already been played, and the next one would be the decisive game.

"How could that be? This team isn't that difficult to beat."

Reina Kari was discovered by Professor Ozu. Professor Ozu's expression changed from surprise to delight, and then he shouted loudly.

"Rena!".

Ozu-sensei's voice also drew the attention of everyone in the competition, including Tamara Moka, who noticed Kari Reina's figure. She's here! She's really here!! Tamara Moka was struggling alone, having thought there was no hope left to fight alongside Kari Reina. The more she longed, the more she struggled, the more she suffered, the more relentlessly she cried.

The other team members were also very excited.

"Senior Kagyuu!?"

"Senior Kari-sensei has arrived!"

"Senior Kari-sensei!"

Chizuru Himeragi gave Rena Kari a gentle push from behind. All she needed was that push, and she would run towards her ideal place without hesitation.

"go quickly!"

"come on."

"Change the players!" Ms. Ozu said to the head judge, her eyes full of trust. She knew Rena Kariu's abilities, and the chances of winning this match had increased. She also wanted to see Rena Kariu and Moeka Tamaki fight side by side; youth is about sweating and striving for your dreams.

At this time, you don't have to think about the cruelty of life, deal with complicated social relationships, or bear too much pressure and suffering.

The best stage of life should be fully enjoyed.

"Rena." Tamaki Moka greeted Kari Rena, but she was still full of doubts and her movements were slightly hesitant.

The moment Reina Kari reached out her hand to her, Moka Tamaki's heart suddenly brightened. She had really come back, and her heart had returned.

"I'm sorry I'm late. No, there's so much more I'm sorry about. I really... I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry."

"Without you, the game didn't go so well! Everyone was waiting for you. Thank you for coming!" The two clapped their hands together, making a crisp sound.

Others also gathered around.

The passion for battle was suddenly ignited, and everyone saw new hope amidst the confusion; victory was still within reach.

"We'll talk about this properly later. What's important right now is..."

"We have to win! So that with our current team roster, we can play volleyball for a longer period of time!"

The team's morale was instantly boosted, and it was clear that Reina Kariyu had a significant influence on them; smiles were a rare sight on everyone's faces. Even the players who were substituted off wore happy smiles.

"Welcome back!"

Oogami Kazutomi told Himiro Chizuru that he was also very grateful to her, after all, she had brought Kari Reina to the competition, which was the most important event of her youth, and it would determine whether she would regret it later. Himiro Chizuru breathed a sigh of relief; she had finally completed her 'mission' and no longer had any regrets.

Ookami Kazutomi said to Himeragi Chizuru.

"You mean, you look a little pale?" He looked at the panting Chizuru Himawari, then at Lin Yan, whose breathing was perfectly normal.

"No, I'm just really tired from running..." Chizuru looked at Lin Yan, who was also running over, and even felt a little envious. It's good to be young. Actually, she didn't know that Lin Yan's age was almost the same as hers.

"Luckily we made it in time! As soon as Shousheng arrived, Yulai's condition immediately recovered, completely different from before!" The three of them watched the arena intently; the smash was truly magnificent.

Everyone was in high spirits.

This has undoubtedly ignited everyone's fighting spirit.

"This is the first time we've seen Xiaoyu play volleyball so happily. It's really great!"

Asahi finally smiled; as long as Tamaki Moka was happy, he would be happy too. Inukai Akira felt the same way.

He was very grateful to Chizuru Himeragi and also to Yan Lin.

They all sacrificed a lot for this, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to such lengths. Although Inukai Akatsuki and Asaji also did a lot, the key was that it was Hayashi En and Hishiro Chizuru who brought Kariyu Reina to the scene.

Moreover, I'm happy for Tamaki Moka that she has such a friend.

"Thanks!"

Akira Inukai's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and it was just a single word. But for such a cold and arrogant boy to be able to do this was already quite remarkable.

The great god and his minister were quite surprised by this.

This is truly a case of an iron tree blooming.

It's so rare.

Will the sun rise in the west tomorrow?

"What kind of expressions are those?" Inukai Akira said with dissatisfaction. What kind of people do they think they are? People who don't know how to be grateful?

"No."

"I'm sorry, he's so scary, but he's actually a very honest kid!" Asahi apologized with a smile. He had been with Inukai Akira for a long time and knew him very well. Although he seemed cold on the surface, he was a kind-hearted person.

Not only is she kind, but she is also very frank.

"Don't touch me!" Inukai Akatsuki slapped away the hand that was stroking his head. The two of them often played around like this when they were together, but it was harmless.

"Thank you so much." Asahi was also very grateful to Lin Yan and the Great God, and especially grateful for what Chizuru Himeragi had done.

Tamaki Moka has made new friends, and they are happy about it.

The atmosphere inside was lively.

Sweat dripped onto the court, and the leaping figures were the rhythm of youth. Everyone was fighting hard for the same goal. Reina Kari's Katsura Raiya inspired Moka Tamaki once again, and the others were equally spirited. Everyone was more excited than nervous, enjoying the tension and excitement of the match, determined not to give up until the very last second.

It is 24:23 now.

If they can get just one more point, the game will be tied.

This point is very important.

Reina Kariwa, like a cheetah, stared intently at her opponent. They already had a tactical plan, and everyone was fulfilling their assigned role in their position. The six positions in volleyball are: serve, first pass, second pass (set), spike, block, and save.

Volleyball position assignments include three types: attacking, setter, and libero.

Outside Hitter: The main scorer on the court, they typically break through the opponent's defense with powerful attacks. The opponent will try to intercept them with single or even double blocks. In addition to attacking, the outside hitter also shoulders the responsibility of receiving the first pass for the entire team.

0103 Why did I make that mistake? [Please subscribe]

Middle Blockers: Both middle blockers need excellent blocking skills. They not only need to be able to perform single blocks in strong teams, but also need to cooperate with teammates to perform double blocks. At the same time, they also need to make offensive moves to attract the opponent's blocking, thereby creating more opportunities for the outside hitter to attack.

The setter is the organizer of the attack and the core of the team. They need to do a good job in organizing the blocking and also organize the attack after the blocking. They need to have good mental qualities and the ability to adapt to the situation.

Opposite hitter: This is a relatively well-rounded position. It can replace the outside hitter in a match, but it generally does not participate in receiving the first pass. Instead, after receiving the first pass, it works with the middle blocker to launch a mobile attack that is difficult for the opponent to defend against.

Libero: Primarily responsible for receiving first passes and defense, and also creates opportunities for teammates to launch counter-attacks from the backcourt.

Tamaki Moka and her teammates coordinated perfectly. The opponent excelled at fast attacks, so breaking their rhythm was crucial to gaining the upper hand. The most exciting moment was the collaboration between Tamaki Moka and Kari Reina, which greatly boosted the morale of the entire team.
