Even though it hurts…

…even though I feel sad…

…on the court I feel just fine.

When I hear the ball flying, my heart races.

Receive. Toss. Spike.

One-two, one-two! Attack!

Through the tears and sweat, putting up a youthful fight…

…under the blue sky, I just want to scream:

Attack! Attack! Number 1!

Attack! Attack! Number 1!

Even though it hurts…

…even though I feel sad…

…I have my team mates.

When I hear the whistle, my heart races.

Receive. Toss. Spike.

One-two, one-two! Attack!

Showing fighting spirit through the tears…

…looking at billowing clouds, I just want to scream:

Attack! Attack! Number 1!

Attack! Attack! Number 1!

I can't reach it!

Leave it to me!

Okay, girls, come over here.

The staff meeting should be ending about now.

Professor Hongou will be back soon.

Let's go to the club room.

– Okay. – Let's go.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Oh, it's you, Tsutomu-san. Why are you in such a hurry?

My club has an emergency meeting.

Calm down. It doesn't suit such an upstanding newspaper club member.

We're merging. We're merging!

Merging?

Who's merging with what?

You know how our academy deals with various problems these times, don't you?

They decided to merge with another school.

It was announced at the staff meeting just now.

Who will we be merging with?

I don't know that yet. Excuse me, I'm in a hurry.

What will happens to our club if the school we merge with has its own volleyball club?

I don't feel like going to practices. Right, Captain?

Captain?

Captain!

– I finally found you. Trouble! – What trouble?

They decided the school we merge with.

Hamaki Middle School will come here.

Huh? Hamaki Middle School?

The one who won second place in the last tournament.

Then what about our club?

Their famous Big Four will come over to us.

The Big Four?

Hurry up and set up the net.

Okay Midori, I'm pulling it.

Heave-ho.

OK. Ready.

Let's go!

Don't lose to Hamaki's Big Four!

That's right! We can't lose to some Big Four!

What are you doing?

C-Captain!

The Big Four.

Pretty good, if you ask me.

– Equipment looks new too. – Those are the Big Four?

You've got a better gym that I expected.

We should be able to practice here.

I'm Fujimi Academy volleyball club's captain, Ayuhara Kozue.

I'm Hamaki Middle School's captain, Izumi Yuri.

I'm Kudou Keiko.

Ozawa Sachie.

Katori Yoshiko.

Some people apparently call us The Big Four of Hamaki.

Big Four, my foot.

They creep me out.

Who are they?

It's the Fujimi Women's University volleyball club.

Awesome practice.

Their team once won the All-Japan tournament.

– Wanna try? – Yeah.

– Watch out, sweetie! – Got it!

Hey, kiddos.

You're pretty good. Fujimi Academy?

Yes. I'm Ayuhara Kozue of the volleyball club.

I'm Hayakawa Midori.

I'm their captain, Oohara Mari.

Both of you have good talent.

How about a spar?

Thank you!

Listen, I won't go easy on you.

– Yes ma'am. – Yes ma'am.

The spring break starts the day after tomorrow. Do you have plans?

Hmm, I haven't thought of anything yet.

Captain! Trouble! Serious trouble in the club!

What's the fuss?

It's about the Big Four practice! They seized the court!

– Ah, Captain! – Captain!

Captain, look at that.

Ready?

– Yeah! – Yeah!

It's our court…

Go with full power!

Ready?

These Big Four need a lesson!

Wait, Naka.

Okay, once more!

Izumi-san, let's practice together.

We're still in the middle of our training.

Just wait there for a bit.

This is everyone's court.

We should use it together, don't you think?

You're getting in our way.

You just don't get it, do you?

If we practice with you, you'll only hinder us.

Wow.

If you're free, go fetch a ball or something. That's fitting for you.

You're all good girls after all.

Midori!

Now you've done it!

If you wanna fight, we'll fight.

Bring it!

Fine!

Midori, what have you done…

Do you want to stay silent when they make fun of us?

I don't intend to.

So you do want to fight us.

All right. It can't be helped.

No.

We'll settle it with this ball.

Heh, how interesting.

We'll finally figure who's stronger, no buts.

Let's hold a four players match.

I'll be your referee.

– Professor! – Professor Kajioka.

I'm Hamaki volleyball club's coach, Kajioka.

Looks like I'll take care of you too after the merge.

Huh? B-But…

When was that decided?

Professor!

– I'm Hongou. – Kajioka.

Heh. Technically, it wasn't decided yet.

But that's not to say it won't happen, so I have decided to be their referee.

Be my guest.

Begin the match.

Here goes!

– Yeah! – Yeah!

Watch out!

I'm sorry.

Don't worry.

Don't mind it, don't mind it!

I haven't seen such a curve ball before.

Ah, don't worry.

Don't strain yourself, now.

Really, what are you doing?

They're on a different level.

Good luck, Ayuhara.

You know how to work until the end.

You and I started it together.

Fight with all you have.

Receive!
