The bell rings at four, ending class but opening the curtain on my daily struggle as the only manager for the Shiratorizawa volleyball team. I walk into the gym and chaos greets me—Tendou is already in full mischief mode, Semi and Shirabu scrambling to contain him. Ushijima stands isolated, a pillar of silent intensity, with Goshiki watching him in reverent awe. Coach Washijo watches from the sidelines, making no move to intervene, leaving the mess for me to handle. Across the court, Reon and Taichi have already started spiking, the ball echoing like a drumroll to this circus.
