Haikyuu - I Am A Different Hinata!

Kageyama concentrates and manages to make a powerful serve that flies toward Seijoh's court.

"OH, nice serve, Tobio!" said Oikawa, as if he were still his junior.

The serve went towards Hanamaki, who tried to receive it, but the ball hit his arms hard and flew back to Karasuno's court.

"Free ball!" shouted Daichi while he could easily pass the ball to Kageyama, who before touching the ball noticed Hinata signaling to Tanaka for them to switch positions.

"He must be wanting to test that," thought Kageyama while jumping and setting the ball to Hinata, who was now in position two behind Kageyama.

"Wasn't this guy a middle blocker?! What is he doing in the opposite position," thought Kindaichi while jumping to block along with Matsukawa and Iwaizumi, trying to stop Hinata who, after observing the triple block, hit the ball in the space between the net antenna and Iwaizumi's arm, slamming the ball on the court floor, managing to execute a beautiful Over The Line shot.

3-0 Karasuno

"HINATA, NICE POINT!" said Tanaka while slapping Hinata's nape.

"So, that's what you've been training recently," observed Daichi.

"Yeah, I hadn't understood why you wanted to switch positions with me at the time, but now I get it!" said Tanaka.

"Yeah, I couldn't leave a practice match against a strong team without trying to use this! HAHA," said Hinata laughing.

"Tsk! This guy can do that too, now I understand why you said playing against him was annoying," said Iwaizumi to Kindaichi.

"I told you, but he had never used this attack... this is new!" said Kindaichi.

"We can't fall behind," said Iwaizumi, preparing for Kageyama's next serve, which this time went in his direction, and he managed to receive it, sending it towards Yahaba, who set the ball for Kunimi at the back of the court, who faced a block from Hinata and Tanaka, but this time Kunimi managed to hit the side of Tanaka's hands and score the point.

3-1 Karasuno

"Damn! I almost blocked that middle-parted hair guy's attack," said Tanaka.

"No problem! Let's keep going!" said Daichi.

It was Iwaizumi's turn, who served towards Daichi, who managed to receive and pass to Kageyama, who before touching the ball gave a slight glance at Hinata.

"It's going to him again!" said Kindaichi, who noticed the look and made all of Aoba Johsai's block go towards Hinata, but the ball Kageyama had set didn't go in that direction, it passed through Tanaka in the middle of the net and went to the other side of the court to Tsukishima, who easily managed to score the point.

4-1 Karasuno

"Damn it!" complained Kindaichi.

"Calm down! You were worried about that guy's new weapon but forgot they have other players," warned Iwaizumi.

After this point, Karasuno's team rotated, and it was Hinata's turn to serve.

"Oh, finally I'll be able to see the serve everyone talks about..." said Oikawa while stopping his warm-up to watch Hinata's serve.

"This time I'll definitely stop it," said Watari while preparing to receive the serve.

Hinata prepares by doing his ritual of holding the ball with both hands at neck height and then throwing it up and making a powerful jump that seemed to stop in the air, and then hitting the ball that flies to the back of the court, this time seeming faster than ever.

"Wow, seems like it wasn't just talk from you guys, it's really a powerful serve, but I still think mine is better - his doesn't go as fast as mine!" said Oikawa confidently.

"His serve is really problematic but now... stop watching the game and focus on your warm-up!" ordered Seijoh's coach.

"Damn!" said Watari after receiving Hinata's second serve on his wrists but not managing to keep it in play.

"Come on, you can do it!" shouted Seijoh's bench players trying to encourage their libero who, after watching Hinata jump and make the third serve, concentrated to the maximum and tried to predict the ball's trajectory, this time successfully managing to make it hit his wrists and gain height while staying in his team's court.

Setter Yahaba positioned himself under where the ball would fall, and luckily it wasn't very close to the net, and then he executed a set for Hanamaki in position four who faced a triple block from Daichi, Kageyama, and Ennoshita, but he managed to hit the ball between Ennoshita's arms and slam it on the ground.

6-2 Karasuno

The game continued with both teams managing to make their attacks, but Karasuno's team managed to maintain the advantage until the moment when Oikawa seemed to have finished his warm-up.

24-20 Karasuno

"Looks like we're in trouble..." observed Oikawa.

"If you're done warming up, you can enter," said the Coach.

"Right!" said Oikawa while substituting Kunimi in the serve position, making the girls who were waiting for his entry go crazy.

"Looks like pretty boy finally decided to show up!" said Tanaka.

"While I was warming up, I noticed that... that guy over there is terrible at receiving, isn't he?" he said pointing to Tsukishima, who shrunk a bit while observing Oikawa jumping and hitting the ball that in the blink of an eye exploded on Tsukishima's arms and went out.

24-21 Karasuno

"Despite everything, that other first-year isn't bad at receiving... so I think I'll just focus on the blonde!" said Oikawa while aiming again at Tsukishima, who couldn't make the reception.

24-22 Karasuno

"IF WE CAN'T STOP THIS GUY'S SERVE WE'RE GOING TO LOSE THIS SHIT!" shouted Tanaka.

"Calm down, let's position our defense with me in the middle, trust me!" said Daichi.

"Hmm... looks like they put the reliable senior to receive... but it doesn't matter!" said Oikawa, sacrificing some power to aim again at Tsukishima, who this time managed to receive but the ball flew back to Seijoh's court.

"Let's stop them!" shouted Daichi.

"RIGHT!" shouted everyone on court in unison.

After seeing the ball coming back in his direction, Oikawa positioned himself under it as if he was going to set to Kindaichi, who was already preparing to jump.

"Here!" shouted Kageyama, who thought he had predicted Oikawa's play and called Hinata and Tanaka who were at the net with him to block, but when the ball was almost touching Oikawa's hand, he changed form and managed to execute a direct spike instead of a set.

"You didn't expect this one," he thought smugly while still in the air, however, he could see Hinata extremely concentrated and in mid-air moving his arms to his left to stop Oikawa's spike and managing to block him, making the ball fall on Aoba Johsai's team's court.

25-22 Karasuno

"Great time to have a large wingspan..." thought Hinata seconds before feeling a sequence of slaps coming towards his nape.

"WHAT A BLOCK! WHAT A BLOCK!" shouted Tanaka while hitting Hinata's nape along with Kageyama.

"In line!" said Daichi while Karasuno's members went to Takeda who seemed impacted by the end of the game.

"Please," they all shouted in unison.

"Sensei, any comments..." said Sugawara in his ear.

"Well, I'm a beginner in Volleyball... but I can say what happened here was special, all of you showed great synergy and teamwork, of course individual talent helped us a lot in this match like Hinata's last block, but I'm sure you can't win alone, you'll be great players... I'm convinced of that!" he said.

"Hey... I THINK THAT WAS TOO POETIC! WAS IT BAD?" asked Takeda.

"No! No!" said Daichi trying to calm him down.

"Thank you!" they all said in unison.

Shortly after, Karasuno's players can be seen leaving Aoba Johsai's school and heading towards the bus to go home.

"We won without losing a set, but I'm sure this score isn't something we can rely on, if they had Oikawa from the beginning, we would have had a big problem," said Daichi.

"What a wise captain!" said Oikawa who was waiting at the gate.

"Hey, what's up? Want to fight, pretty boy?!" said Tanaka with his intimidating face.

"Don't be so hostile... your attacks were really incredible... I'm happy that Tobio has found someone who might possibly be able to use all his potential, but I believe you know that we didn't play anywhere near everything we can, we're still going to improve our serve even more... so don't lose! I want to pulverize my junior at Interhigh," he said pointing at Kageyama.

"Well, you might not have given everything you could, but I'm sure you also noticed that Hinata is also good at receiving and formations can be made to try to work around Tsukishima's deficiency," responded Daichi.

"If you say so..." said Oikawa while leaving with a wave.

"Never seen you want to pick a fight like that..." said Sugawara.

"Nothing I said is a lie and I didn't even reveal that we'll still have the return of Karasuno's Guardian Deity," said Daichi.
