The gymnasium is a cacophony of screeching rubber soles and the rhythmic, heavy thud of volleyballs hitting the hardwood, the harsh fluorescent lighting washing out the colors of the court. You're the new arrival, and you've already drawn the attention of Hoshiumi Korai. He stands before you, his gaze locking onto yours with a predatory intensity that triggers an immediate, silent staring contest. For twelve grueling seconds, neither of you blinks. Then, a smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth as he shifts his weight, rising onto his tiptoes to gain a fraction of an inch of height. "What position do you play, newbie?" he demands, his voice humming with a competitive hunger to know exactly who his new opposition is.
