The Conniving Crow

Chapter 72: Connecting Gears

The final day of the training camp had arrived, and it felt as though the week had passed in the blink of an eye. The team was buzzing with excitement and anticipation, fueled by the progress they had made throughout their intense training sessions. Bokuto's fancy finishing move had become the talk of the day, with Hinata enthusiastically sharing the details to anyone who would listen. Tsukishima and Yamaguchi had regained their usual camaraderie, and the entire team seemed to have found their rhythm on the court.

As (y/n) prepared for the final match against Fukurodani, a sense of relief washed over her. It seemed that the boys had finally started to connect and synchronize their plays, transforming into a formidable team. She took a moment to gather her thoughts and brainstorm ways to boost their energy and morale, unaware of the surprise Daichi had planned for the team.

Noticing the commotion among the Fukurodani boys, (y/n) set her notes aside and turned her attention towards the bewildered opponents.

"What the heck!?" Konoha exclaimed, his voice filled with a mix of shock and awe. "They're scary!"

Curiosity piqued, (y/n) approached the huddle to see Tanaka, Nishinoya, Hinata, and even Kageyama performing a synchronized dance while chanting about meat. Their energetic movements and the absurd lyrics left everyone in a state of amused bewilderment.

"Meat, meat, meat! Oh meat, meat, meat! More meat, meat, meat! Meat, meat, and meat! Meat's what I wanna eat. Meat's a tasty treat. Gimme meat, woo woo! Hallelujah!"

Chuckling, (y/n) observed the boys' antics, realizing that their energetic display was a result of a miscommunication about the meal schedule. The sheer enthusiasm radiating from the boys was infectious, lifting the spirits of both teams.

"Did anyone tell them about the barbecue?" Keishin questioned, unable to suppress a grin.

"I don't think so," Takeda-sensei admitted with a sheepish smile. "It just says 'meal' on the schedule."

"At least they're energized again," (y/n) chimed in, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Guess it all works out in the end."

With their energy replenished and laughter still lingering in the air, the boys gathered for their huddle. However, (y/n) couldn't help but notice the drool pooling from their mouths, a sight that reminded her of ravenous beasts.

"Will you all wipe your damn mouths!" she suddenly snapped, her voice filled with a mix of exasperation and amusement. "You're not a bunch of savages! I swear, if you don't come within two points of winning, I won't let you have any meat, you hear me!?"

A stunned silence followed her outburst, soon replaced by a collective sense of fear as the boys realized the gravity of (y/n)'s threat. They quickly scrambled to wipe their mouths, their eyes wide with a newfound determination.

"Y-yes, ma'am!" they shouted in unison, their voices echoing with both obedience and trepidation.

...

The match between Karasuno and Fukurodani was in full swing, with both teams displaying their incredible skills and unwavering determination. Bokuto, with his explosive power, unleashed an insane cross spike that left everyone in awe. (Y/n) couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of the third-year's excitement, eagerly waiting for Akaashi's praise.

"That can't be good for his shoulders," (y/n) commented with a smirk, noticing the sheer enthusiasm radiating from Bokuto.

"He seems like the type of player who boosts the morale of both teams," Keishin chuckled, appreciating the positive energy Bokuto brought to the game.

"Yeah, he's pretty energetic, and that energy is contagious," (y/n) agreed, nodding in agreement with Keishin.

As (y/n) continued to jot down notes, a smile adorned her face as she witnessed the progress the Karasuno team was making. Hinata successfully executed the feint he had learned from Bokuto, earning cheers and applause from his teammates.
