A full-power spike!
But if Tsukishima's block is too close to the corner, Bokuto's arm is likely to brush the net—or even hit the antenna—resulting in a point violation!
And when the block is placed just right, Bokuto will switch to another move he's known for—
A tight cross shot just inside the corner!!
At a wicked angle, he sends the ball between the Karasuno blocker and the net!
It lands straight inside the three-meter line on the opposite court!!
Just now, he almost scored with that exact play!
But… watching Bokuto's current state, everyone on Fukurodani suddenly felt a bad premonition rising in their chests.
Several players exchanged glances.
"No way… Is it happening again??"
They didn't know why, but that uneasy feeling was growing stronger.
"Come on, come on!"
Wham!
After Karasuno's serve was received, Akaashi silently watched Bokuto preparing to attack.
If this set goes to Bokuto, he'll go for the spike…
With his current form, he'll probably score just fine…
But if that No. 7 on Karasuno manages to block him…
In just a few rounds, Akaashi had already picked up on Akira's hidden defensive strategies.
He'd considered trying to stop Bokuto's spikes a few times himself.
But maybe due to the low chance of success, he'd ended up backing off.
Still, Akaashi had noticed that Akira was getting closer and closer to stopping Bokuto's hits.
So now he was hesitating.
If Bokuto spikes too many times in a row, the chances of his moves being read increase dramatically!
But...
Gritting his teeth, Akaashi glanced at Bokuto, who was practically bursting with energy.
If I don't set to him, this guy's definitely going to throw a fit!
He might even sub himself out!
As someone who'd partnered with Bokuto for so long, Akaashi knew him inside and out.
This guy would absolutely do something that reckless!
After wavering for a moment, Akaashi still chose to set the ball to Bokuto on the left!
Screw it!
He hasn't been blocked so far, anyway!
Might as well let him go again!
And Akaashi wasn't wrong to think that.
Akira had, in fact, been watching Bokuto's every move, studying his attack patterns and habits.
But against a powerhouse like Bokuto, there weren't many flaws to find.
So Akira hadn't made a move yet—because he wasn't fully certain.
But this latest set from Akaashi… was different!
There wasn't anything wrong with the set itself.
But Akira, standing on the other side of the net, immediately sensed something was off in Bokuto's rhythm and mental state!
This was it—his chance!!
Without hesitation, he signaled to Tsukishima to switch positions!
Earlier, Tsukishima had been positioned directly in front of Bokuto to block.
But this time, Akira switched their positions!
Something's going to happen!
As soon as Akaashi saw the shift, his heart skipped a beat!
But the set had already left his hands—he had no way of changing the play now!
All he could do was hope Bokuto would score!
Boom!
This time, Akira jumped even before Bokuto did!
So much so that the timing between him and the other two blockers was off!
But Bokuto noticed it immediately.
Opportunity!!
That kind of misstep was a clear vulnerability for an attacker to exploit!
Bang!
He spiked straight at the gap caused by the out-of-sync block!
By the time Akira was in the air, the other two blockers were just about to jump!
But at that exact moment—
Akira's early jump finally paid off!
Thanks to his incredible hang time, he was still floating at the peak of his jump!!
Just as Bokuto unleashed his spike, Akira's arms extended forward in perfect timing!
Thwack!
The ball was stuffed cleanly back!
Akaashi had anticipated the block and was already diving to save the rebound—but he didn't get there in time!
Bokuto's spike—blocked for the first time!!
