"Sleep well?" Tsukishima asked her, after noticing that she yawned. Ayame's eyebrow twitched and gave him a deadpan expression. "If I remembered correctly, I didn't get a decent sleep because you suddenly forced me to wake up"

"Obviously no..." she mumbled. However, she touched her hair absentmindedly. She felt that someone was stroking her hair and she really liked it. She thought that it was a dream but it felt so real. The way her hair was stroked was gentle and assuring, and she smiled unknowingly.

"Ayame, please stop smiling all by yourself. It's creepy" Tsukishima told her. She raised an eyebrow at him.

"Fine" she sighed in defeat "Oh, where are nii-chan and the others? Is your morning jog finish?"

"Yes, but Hinata got lost and they looked for him" Yamaguchi explained.

"We returned here first than them" Tsukishima added "It's annoying looking for Hinata"

"Oh...ah, here they are" she said. The others appeared, with a grinning Hinata on front and an angry looking Kageyama.

"Sorry for making you guys worry-" Hinata said but a whack from Kageyama stopped him.

"Hinata, you dumbass! Don't go running on your own!" Kageyama told him. Hinata clutched his head and hid behind Sugawara.

"I said I'm sorry! Anyway, I met a volleyball player earlier and he was lost like me but rooster head took him back..." he said "But I managed to ask for his name! He looked like a quiet type though"

This conversation made Ayame curious. She stood and asked him again "Uh...is their jersey bright red in color?"

"Eh? Ah, yes!"

"Does one guy have golden cat like eyes?"

"Yup!"

"And the other has a weird bed hair?"

"Right!"

"And the guy with cat eyes' name is Kenma?"

"Yeah, how did you know, Ayame?" Hinata asked her.

Ayame smiled and told them "I think you just met Nekoma's players, Shoyo-kun"

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAH?!" they all screamed, including Coach Ukai. A single question rolled in everyone's mind, "How the heck did she know about Nekoma?"

"You...you know the players from Nekoma High?! Why didn't you tell us?!" Ukai grabbed her shoulder and shook her vigorously. Ayame couldn't answer because her head is spinning from the dizziness.

"Ano...Ukai-san, Ayame's going to be dizzy if you keep shaking her..." Yamaguchi told him. The coach quickly let her go and apologized for his actions.

"How long did you know about Nekoma?" Ukai interrogated her.

"Um...not very long...three years, I think? Anyway, I only met some of their players last year and barely knew them but honestly, they are really skilled. After all, Nekoma's famous for its defense and tenacity...they're basically...well, cats..." she explained.

"Uh, what about Kenma and rooster head?" Hinata asked her.

"I just met them last year. Kenma-san is their setter-"

"What year is he? Is he a genius setter? What about his skills? How tall is he? Who taught him? How long is he playing? What are his specialties?" Kageyama interrupted, his aura had a weird mix of excitement, curiosity, and obsession and it is seriously creeping her out.

"Kageyama, relax...she can't answer your questions at the same time..." Sugawara told him.

"Etto...Kenma-san is a good setter. He might not be as talented as Kageyama-kun but if the receives are good, he can utilize and exploit his skills as a setter. Also, Kenma-san is good at analyzing and reading people" she explained.

"Then, what about this rooster head that Hinata's talking about?" Daichi asked her.

"That's Kuroo Tetsuroo, Nekoma's captain and middle blocker. He specializes in blocking and he's a good read blocker. He's good all around, in offense and defence. Also, he can be quite a provocative person like someone" she said, making a certain blonde cough loudly.

"There is also the libero, Yaku Morisuke. He's the same as Yuu-senpai, he's an excellent receiver. He's fast, flexible and a quick thinker. Thanks to him and Kuroo-san, Nekoma's defences are exceptional and hard to break through"

"Amazing..." Hinata said in awe.

"They sound like a powerhouse school..." Yamaguchi said. Daichi nodded "Well, they are a powerhouse school..."

"But...that doesn't mean we're supposed give up, right? They might have a talented middle blocker and libero but we have our oddball duo, our ace, and our Guardian Deity! We'll fight them with this team!" Ayame told them, raising her fist.

"YEAAH!!"

"Ayame-chan, you're flattering me..." Nishinoya comically cried after she called him Guardian Deity but it was short lived because Daichi slapped his head.
