In a very special and winter day, weeks before Nationals, Keisuke invites everyone from the Takayama team to play a pickup volleyball game at a court near Keisuke's apartment in Miyagi, later on they all arrive as Keisuke says
Keisuke: All right, me and Takuya will be team captains by each side, score to win is 15 points, as captain I pick first.. so I pick Akio.
Takuya: I pick Seijun.
Keisuke:(Dammit), I pick Izana.
Takuya: I'll go with... Sengoku.
Keisuke: I pick Hotaru.
Takuya: Hmm, Imma go with Yasuhiro.
Keisuke: I'll pick Shuji.
Takuya: Imma pick Junichiro.
Keisuke: Final pick is Yuji
Takuya: Mine is Reiji
Keisuke: Okay! Team lets roll
Takuya: Lets go.
The two teams then get ready, the captains play rock paper scissors to decide to serve first, Takuya wins as he puck Seijun to serve first. Seijun then prepare to serve, he then thought.
Seijun:(I'll just go with my left hand.)
He then switches to his left hand
Akio:(This guy, he never told me that he can do a left hand serve.)
Hotaru:(His left is his dominant hand too?)
Seijun then Spikes it, as Akio receives it the ball goes out of bounds..
So next serve, Seijun thought.
Seijun:(Man, this won't be fun, I'll just go back to my right hand.)
As Seijun spikes it, Hotaru receives it, The ball then goes to Izana, he then thought
Izana:(God dammit, I'm not a setter but I've been practicing with Hotaru, so I'm confident right now)
Izana tgen sets to Keisuke, as Keisuke spikes it, Reiji receives it, he then says.
Reiji: Wow! What an amazing spike
Izana:(Huh?)
Just now, Oikawa was just passing by with Iwaizumi and Kindaichi.
Oikawa: Aren't those guys from Takayama?
Iwaizumi: Yeah.
Mattsun: Ya wanna watch?
Oikawa: Yeah sure.
Iwaizumi: Okay.
The three of them then sit dowm amd watch them play... it was the end of the first set, all the players were rehydrating and refreshing.. Keisuke then sees Oikawa and says.
Keisuke: Oikawa-senpai.
Oikawa: Ah, Keisuke-Chan.
Akio: Wait your his senpai?
Keisuke: Yeah, from middle school. I went to Kitagawa dai chi.
Takuya: Why dodn't you tell us that?
Keisuke: Heheh, I just forgot to tell you.
In a coincidential turn, the Karasuno players were all hanging out passing by the volleyball court, Kageyama then sees Keisuke talking to Oikawa and thought.
Kageyama:(Keisuke-san and Oikawa-san?)
Kageyama then tells all of the Karasuno players.
Kageyama: Hey, can we watch them play?
Daichi: Yeah sure.
The Karasuno players then go in the court..

Kageyama: Yeah, he's my senior in Kitagawa dai chi.
Tsukkishima: Well good for you
Daichi: Watch your mouth, Kei
Keisuke: All right, lets continue the second set
Ennoshita: Second set?
Kageyama: Well, I guess we missed the first
Kageyama then looks to his left and sees that Keisuke lost against Takuya.
Kageyama:(What the?! I thought Keisuke was the best middle school spiker, he could break any block with his spike.)
So the second set starts as Seijun serves again. He thought..
Seijun:(I think should go with my left again.)
He then switches gears.. Hinata then says.
Hinata: Whoa, what was that?
Kageyama: I watched him during a practice match vs Sarukawa Tech, then guy in The glasses could switch gears from right hand to left hand.
Sugawara: Really?! So cool
Daichi: So we don't know how he will switch gears?
Asahi: Looks like it.
Kageyama: Sad to say but yes, its just best to be ready.
Daichi: Damn.
Tanaka: Thats cold, Kageyama.
Nishinoya: I agree.
Seijun then spike the ball, Akio then receives it perfectly.
Akio: YOSHAAA!
