The gymnasium thrums with the rhythmic smack of volleyballs against polished wood. Under the glare of fluorescent lights, eight team banners hang from the rafters—Karasuno, Nekoma, Aoba Johsai, and others. You step onto the center line, your gaze sweeping the courts.

The air itself seems to vibrate with focused energy. you, state your name and year.
