"Hoo!"
Motoya Komori breathed out softly. Then he began silently counting down to his serve in his heart.
The moment the countdown reached its final second, he immediately tossed the ball slightly upward and sent it toward position three on Aoba Johsai's side.
The reason he chose position three was also because Hank's position overlapped with Toru Oikawa's position. That meant this kind of serve would be difficult to receive from the very foundation.
Even if they wanted to run their offense afterward, it would still take a certain amount of effort.
At the instant that attack was about to fall, Aoba Johsai's back row began to move. The libero responsible for serve receive immediately stepped out from the back row, leaned his body slightly forward, and then took one step ahead with a single leg.
His entire body looked like a bent longbow.
Immediately afterward, that serve was received cleanly.
Right after that, Toru Oikawa successfully sent the ball up. With a smooth motion, he gave the ball to Iwaizumi beside him.
However, the moment the volleyball was spiked into Itachiyama Institute's court, an incredibly strange feeling instantly spread through Iwaizumi's heart.
It felt as if the volleyball he had just hit had gone directly into a swamp.
That strange sensation made it impossible for him to understand what exactly had happened.
Yet just as Iwaizumi was still thinking about how they should organize their next counterattack, Motoya Komori immediately arrived at the ball's landing point.
He looked as if he had predicted it in advance. The ball had not even fully fallen yet, but his body had already reached the spot where it was going to land.
That scene alone instantly caused an uproar among everyone watching.
"Can this guy predict where the volleyball is going to land ahead of time!? But how is that possible!? This is unbelievable!"
When Iwaizumi saw that Motoya Komori had so easily received his ball, his heart immediately jolted in shock.
But before he could react, Kiyoomi Sakusa, who was standing in the front row, immediately jumped. At that moment, his wrist twisted.
It simply did not look human. Anyone who saw it would immediately feel a deep sense of terror. If an ordinary person tried that, their wrist would snap from that motion alone!
Boom!
A thunderous sound rang out.
The volleyball struck by Kiyoomi Sakusa twisted in an S-shaped path. Immediately afterward, it smashed straight into an empty spot on Aoba Johsai's court.
The libero in the back row did not even have time to react before Sakusa had already scored.
"Nice! That was an absolutely beautiful point! This is the strongest combination! Motoya Komori and Kiyoomi Sakusa are our Sacred King Duo!"
"The strongest shield and the strongest spear combined together—who could possibly compare to us!? This is simply the strongest combination!"
"Exactly. I bet Aoba Johsai is completely stunned by now. After seeing this, they probably don't even know how they're supposed to play volleyball anymore."
"Looks like we're going to win this match!"
After Kiyoomi Sakusa scored the first spike point, Itachiyama Institute immediately fell into a small celebration.
Without a doubt, that point had displayed the strength they were supposed to have.
They had already begun suppressing Aoba Johsai.
