"Please!! Please, Oikawa!!"
Hearing that Oikawa knew how to solve it, Kageyama's eyes lit up.
But when he saw Oikawa's expression, he cried out inwardly.
Knowing Oikawa, there was no way he'd let him off the hook that easily.
Immediately, Kageyama lowered his head and bowed deeply.
"Please, teach me!"
"Hmmm…"
Oikawa looked at him and couldn't help but smile wickedly.
"You're the national champion's setter?"
"And you're coming to whisper to me like this??"
"Yes! Please teach me how to fix this!"
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Oikawa crossed his arms over his waist, laughing triumphantly.
"Iwa-chan, are you seeing this?"
"The national champion's setter is asking me for advice!!"
"This is a champion!"
"He's admitting he's inferior to me!"
"That's right!"
Several stress veins popped on Iwaizumi's forehead.
"Crappy-kawa, just stop it already…"
For some reason, watching this smug version of Oikawa gave Iwaizumi a sudden, irresistible urge to punch him.
"Wait! Wait!"
Oikawa suddenly seemed to remember something.
He pulled out his phone and handed it to Iwaizumi.
"Hurry up! Iwa-chan!"
"Take a picture for me!"
He stood proudly in front of the bowing Kageyama, striking a victorious pose.
"This…"
"Kageyama, you…"
Iwazumi looked at Kageyama's hunched figure, hesitating.
"I don't care!"
"Just take the picture, Iwaizumi!"
Kageyama kept his head lowered.
Before coming to Oikawa, he had already thought through what it would cost him.
Compared to the humiliating memories of Oikawa-senpai from junior high, taking a photo like this was nothing.
In fact, deep down, Kageyama was ecstatic.
If he had known he could get Oikawa's guidance so easily, he wouldn't have hesitated for so long.
He was finally here!
Click!
As the shutter clicked repeatedly, the moment was captured in Oikawa's phone.
"Hurry up!"
"Let me see!"
Oikawa grabbed the phone from Iwaizumi and eagerly opened the photos.
"Hahaha! Not bad! Not bad at all!"
"This one really captures my magnificence!!"
"Haha! The champion setter, Tobio Kageyama, can't even lift his head in front of Tōru Oikawa…"
"Unbelievable!"
"Iwa-chan, you're surprisingly good at taking photos!"
"Hey! Shouldn't you be answering the question, Crappy-kawa?"
"Oh! Right, right!"
Oikawa slapped his forehead and chuckled, "If Iwa-chan hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot what we were doing!"
"You…"
Facing this ridiculous Oikawa, Iwaizumi gave up trying to reason.
Then, Oikawa turned his attention back to Kageyama.
"You haven't even told me what the problem is, but I've already figured it out."
As he got down to business, Oikawa's mischievous grin vanished.
"It must be…"
"You can't set the kind of ball that's needed, right?"
Hearing that, Kageyama's eyes widened in shock, staring at Oikawa in disbelief.
"You… how did you guess that…"
"Ahem!"
Oikawa gave a dismissive snort.
"I saw it in the practice match just now!"
"Little Tobio!"
"You're turning into that arrogant king from junior high again!!"
"I…"
Kageyama opened his mouth but couldn't speak.
The painful memory of being abandoned by all his teammates in junior high still haunted him.
He had thought that after joining Karasuno, he had left that part of himself behind.
He believed he had learned to work well with his teammates!
But now, Oikawa was telling him he was going back to the way he used to be!
"What about you??"
"Don't you feel it yourself?"
"When you do that quick attack with Hinata, you always try to control the trajectory of the set!"
"But have you considered how he feels?"
"I…"
Kageyama was completely stunned by his words and couldn't respond.
Thinking back carefully to their recent matches, he realized it was true.
Even though he had tried different adjustments lately, he had never really let Hinata control the quick attack.
"You've committed a big taboo for a setter!!"
Oikawa wagged his finger at him.
"On the volleyball court, every offensive play should be led by the attacker!"
"There's no such thing as a setter-led offense!!"
"A setter's job is to put the ball in the most ideal position!"
"I thought you understood this already in high school!"
"I watched your performance at Nationals—obviously you played very well!"
"So why are you reverting now?"
"I…"
Kageyama lowered his head, his hands trembling slightly.
"As a setter!"
Oikawa shook his head, looking genuinely disappointed.
"Don't overthink it!!"
"Just give your attackers the most comfortable set! Leave the rest to them!!"
"On the court, you have to trust your teammates unconditionally!"
"You already do that when you set for Akira!"
"Your passes to him are spot-on."
"…Yeah."
Kageyama lowered his head and replied in a deep voice:
"Thank you, Oikawa-senpai!!"
He bowed deeply to Oikawa, then turned and walked toward the court behind him.
Watching Kageyama walk away with a dazed expression, Oikawa suddenly seemed to snap out of it—and smacked his own forehead.
"Crap!!"
"How could I be so dumb?!"
"What now?"
Iwaizumi, seeing him panicking again, frowned in confusion.
"What was I thinking?!"
Oikawa clutched his head in regret.
"Why did I tell him all that? I shouldn't have taught him!!"
"In the end, I basically told him exactly how to get better—and now he's going to use it against me!!"
Iwaizumi stared at him like he was a complete idiot.
"You're the one who made a big show of humiliating Kageyama, took a picture, and then gave him advice like it was no big deal. Now you're regretting it?"
"No, no, Iwa-chan!"
Oikawa groaned in pain.
"I think now, it's not that I mind teaching him…"
"But if the only price he paid was that one photo, it feels too cheap!"
He clenched his fists, eyes gleaming.
"I could've asked Tobio to bring me breakfast every morning!!"
"Just for a month??"
"What do you think? If I ask him now, will he say yes?"
Hearing that, Iwaizumi couldn't take it anymore and smacked him hard.
"You piece of crap!"
"Aoba Johsai is so far from here! Do you really expect Kageyama to take the bus every morning just to bring you breakfast?! Seriously?!"
