The very first lineup has Tsukishima and Bokuto across from one another. There's a second when their eyes meet.

Then, with the shrill of a whistle, the murder and the parliament go to war.

The matches are fierce. This may be practice, but every single player wants to prove themselves. It's clear the Karasuno evolution has progressed, maybe even faster then Akaashi could have predicted. The teams are never more then a few points apart.

By the time lunch rolls around, Karasuno and Fukurodani are at a set apiece. Tsukishima himself hasn't scored, but he's more concerned with keeping the wall up, the ball in the air. It's been broken through more then once.
