HAIKYŪU: SHARPEST VISION [OC INSERT]

CHAPTER 048

AS THE BALL APPROACHED, Ushijima eyes froze in anticipation. Every time, at this moment, his concentration was at its peak. While Karasuno had made a different move this time, opting to block Ushijima powerful spike instead.

Despite the recent play that had gotten the crowd all worked up, Ushijima was still cool and collected. And he was paying attention to each of Walter moves, ready to counter whatever he might try next. However, Walter didn't make any unusual moves, unlike his unexpected play earlier.

Ushijima chose to play a straight ball this time, attempting to make a powerful spike as he made a score.

The coach of Shiratorizawa Washijo Tanji on the sideline breathed a sigh of relief as he witnessed this scene.

"That block back then... Was it just a coincidence?" None of Shiratorizawa's team, including him, had anticipated what was about to happen.

Walter gave a small smile as he turned around to. "Sometimes blockers can't be too tightly all at once. Otherwise, it would  frighten the prey," he thought to himself.

It was important that one kept the block at  steady rhythm, similar to an angler would when fishing for their catch.

With this point, Ushijima is taken out and replaced by the back row. If Karasuno continues to score like this next time, Walter will also be rotated to the back row.

Following the referee's instructions, Ushijima started serving the ball. His serve is one of the key weapons that Shiratorizawa has, and it has been proven many times.

BANG!

The ball had not only incredible speed but also an indescribable level of force. Nishinoya, who had a strong ability to receive the ball, was unable to react in time.

Instead, it sailed towards Hinata's position, and Daichi himself seemed to be expecting it. As the ball made contact with Ushijima hand, it immediately went towards Hinata location.

As the game went on, the Daichi slowly adjusted to Ushijima powerful serves. Even though the ball wasn't perfectly received, it didn't fly in its usual way.

"Wari!" As they noticed the ball moving towards the diagonal side, the Daichi clenched its teeth in frustration and muttered under his breath.

"Here I come!" As Kageyama was too slow to move, Asahi rushed to the ball and set it to the nearest player.

The ball was sent out, and in response, Walter turned around and ran towards the left side of the court to counter Daichi action.

As Walter ran towards the left side, the three people in the front row of Shiratorizawa also ran forward without hesitation, prepared to block the net. They quickly  acted immediately, moving to block the net without hesitation.

"Even if we can't stop him, we can create opportunities for the back row to counterattack and score," the three players thought, determined to turn the tide of the game.

BANG!

There was a thunderous sound as Walter unleashed his powerful jump spike. But the ball didn't land in his hands. Just as the three front row players of Shiratorizawa were stunned, a loud bang echoed throughout the venue.

Daichi scored, The ball was spike towards the net with such force that it landed in the ground before anyone could even react.

When the three players in the front row turned their heads towards the crowd, they were surprised to find them cheering for Karasuno.

The others are confused, and the bystanders are clear-who is the winner of this game? they were puzzled by the unexpected outcome.

The players on the field may not have realized what happened. But the spectators in the upper stands, who had a wider view of the situation, saw it clearly from the start.

"Oops! It seemed Shiratorizawa in the front row was completely deceived by Walter," Daisuke Kunimura exclaimed, pounding his chest and shouting.

"How could he have caught that ball just now?" The spectators' comments continued to flow as they analyzed Walter brilliant move.

Just now, Asahi is in the position of passing the ball. Walter knew that it was too low and too close to him.

They recognized Walter excellent judgment and his quick reaction in taking advantage of the opportunity.

Without giving it much thought, he immediately ran towards the opposite position from where the ball landed, knowing that an attempt to spike the ball would be blocked.

The ball was handled by his teammates, and his teammates recognized the opportunity and knew that they had to spike the ball. And Daichi, behind him, obviously understood what he meant.

The spectators now already understood what Walter intentions were and how his team was coordinating their efforts.

In that scenario, even Walter himself did not expect this outcome. In his plan, it was only enough to distract the opposition and slow down the pace of the blockers.

Everyone was caught off guard by the Shiratorizawa players' sudden reaction to the play. The fact that the three of them ran after Walter at the same time left the net completely open for the ground on the other side to spike the ball unimpeded.

"You bastards! Is there water in your heads?" Coach Washijo Tanji was understandably furious at the mistake his players had made, screaming inside the stadium.

Shiratorizawa's game has a reputation for its strict, merciless training regime under the watchful eye of their fierce coach, Washijo Tanji.

While their coach is known for berating their player's mistakes, it also allows them to learn from their errors and improve their performance in time.

After hearing the loud shouts from the coach, the three players wiped a few beads of sweat. Indeed, looking back, they shouldn't have let Walter fool them so easily.

These players are indeed feeling under the pressure of the intense, high-stakes game.

They were so caught up in their nerves that they didn't notice where the ball went.

They simply wanted to stop Walter, but they were caught off guard by his quick movements and ended up being restrained by him.

______｡･ﾟ･(ﾉ∀')･ﾟ･｡______

IN THE AUDIENCE, Oikawa couldn't contain his laughter anymore and began laughing out loud from the Shiratorizawa players' mistake.

His loud laughter caused some Shiratorizawa fans around him to show their irritation, but Iwaizumi quickly covered his mouth.

"Oi....shittykawa," he said, trying to recover from the embarrassing situation.

"What are you doing with such a funny thing?" he asked, still chuckling while covering his mouth.

Karasuno score had just increased. Walter had moved to the back row, so both sides now had their aces in the back row.

This meant that it was no longer a rivalry between the two sides but an open field for the other players to compete.

The clash between Karasuno in the front row and Shiratorizawa's front row continued to intensify.
