"Tsukishima! What are you still standing around for?
Hurry up and keep up!"
The next morning.
After the training session, several teams that had come to Nekoma for the joint practice boarded their respective buses.
The vehicles of Fukurodani, Ubugawa, and Karasuno all set off, heading towards the tournament venue in Tokyo.
. . .
The buses carried the teams into the heart of the bustling city, and before long, the three groups began to go their separate ways.
Although all their accommodations were located near the venue, the teams hadn't booked the same place and naturally parted at different stops.
Navigating through Tokyo's intricate and well-connected streets, each team finally reached their destination.
As Karasuno stepped off their bus, what greeted them was a towering skyscraper.
Outside the ornate glass revolving door were stylish and meticulously arranged decorations.
The interior bustled with a wide range of guests.
People came and went dressed in suits and polished leather shoes—it all screamed luxury and high status.
"Wow!!"
"This hotel is..."
"So high-tech!!"
Hinata, who was first to step off the bus, couldn't hold back his awe-struck cheer.
Those who followed began to look around in disbelief.
Even Tsukishima, usually so composed and proud of his maturity, let his mouth fall slightly open.
"Uh-huh..."
"Coach!"
"You're really spoiling us!!"
Nishinoya and Tanaka were already in tears, overwhelmed with emotion as they turned back to look at Keishin Ukai.
"Oh... this..."
Ukai scratched the back of his head and let out an awkward laugh.
"Hahaha... While this is indeed the hotel we're staying at, I didn't book it for us!"
"Huh?"
"Was it you then, Takeda-sensei?"
Everyone turned toward Takeda, who stood nearby.
"Huh? Hahaha..."
Takeda quickly took a step back, waving his hands.
"Not me either!"
"What??"
"It wasn't Takeda-sensei or Coach??"
The entire team was stunned.
If neither of them arranged it... then who did?
"Um..."
Seeing their confused expressions, Takeda quickly explained:
"It was Akira who came to us a few days ago. He said that when his family found out he was coming to Tokyo to compete, his elders specially arranged a place for us to stay!"
"Whoa!!"
All eyes immediately turned toward Akira, who stood among the group.
Sugawara scratched the back of his head and asked with concern:
"Wouldn't that cost a fortune?"
"It feels like too much!"
"Haha!"
Akira smiled and rubbed his neck.
"It's fine!"
"There's some business cooperation involved—so it didn't cost much."
"Everyone can rest easy! This place is also the closest to the tournament venue."
"Man... seriously..."
"We've got to visit your elders someday and thank them in person..."
Sugawara and Daichi were still murmuring, looking flustered with gratitude, but on the other side...
"Aaaahhh!!"
"I'm going to be the first one in!!"
"Don't anyone try to race me!!"
. . .
Nishinoya, Hinata, and the others had already dashed toward the lobby, luggage in tow, shouting excitedly.
"Hey! You morons!"
"Show a little respect, will you?!"
Among all the participating teams, Karasuno was among the later arrivals.
Some schools had even arrived in Tokyo a full week ahead of the competition to acclimate and train.
All the hotels—both large and small—surrounding the venue were now packed with competing teams.
"Whoa!"
"Those guys must be from the basketball team! They're insanely tall!"
"Huh? And those athletes carrying long poles? They look so cool and serious!"
. . .
After dropping off their luggage, the Karasuno team headed out together.
On the way, they passed by numerous other teams also in Tokyo for the competition.
Some sports were completely unfamiliar to them—but this wasn't the time to explore.
They had to rush to a nearby rented gymnasium for practice.
The period before the tournament officially begins is also the most relaxed.
But if they slacked off now and their form slipped before the matches…
The consequences would be unimaginable.
"We're not going to be doing anything too intense!"
"Just some light ball work to stay sharp!"
Walking at the front of the group, Keishin Ukai called out to them.
"I know, I know!"
Hinata bounced on his feet, replying cheerfully:
"We've still gotta review our normal tactics, right?"
"Haha, that's right."
Ukai scratched his head with a smile.
Truthfully, he could tell—no one had said it out loud...
But everyone was beginning to feel the pressure.
It was understandable.
This was their first time participating in an event of this scale.
Of course they'd feel nervous.
And once they really stepped into that massive arena...
Standing under those blinding lights, in front of thousands of spectators and live cameras...
Things might only get worse.
The current Karasuno, compared to those schools that had been frequenting Nationals for years...
Still had a long way to go.
Hopefully, with a few days of focused practice, they could loosen up and get into rhythm.
Otherwise... they'd have no choice but to unleash the secret weapon they'd been keeping in reserve.
Creak!
Upon arriving at the rented gym, Daichi pushed open the heavy door, and the entire team surged inside.
In this faraway Tokyo gym, Karasuno's training had officially resumed.
"I can see it!"
"Everyone's made a lot of progress lately!"
"Yeah!"
