⛩️• The history of the great talent of volleyball •⛩️

Introduction

Yagami Akira, now known by the nickname "Demon", is a volleyball player at Nakihama High School. She's an opposite hitter, but she's 171 cm tall or 5'7. It would seem that she shouldn't play in this position, but despite her height, Akira has a crazy jump that helps her beat blockers, sometimes 20 centimeters taller than her. She has been called a young talent for a long time, and those who resist her are already considered very good players, because even height often does not save players from driving the ball into the parquet of the court from her attacks. In any case, she led her team to a huge number of victories, even sometimes entering regional competitions where, as a rule, only university teams throughout Japan play. And at local and regional competitions, the team has not been defeated for several years in a row since it joined this school, and this record still continues to increase. And so far, only one school can stand up to Nakihama High School, but who knows... Maybe some other school will defeat Nakihama High? In the end, the ball can always fall on your side of the court... But the truth is, when you play against a Demon, all you have to understand is that the floor will be covered in blood, but she won't let a single ball fall...

Birth

Akira Yagami was born into a small family consisting of five people; mother, father, younger sister, grandmother and grandfather. The family had small incomes, but they allowed them to live and eat normal food, allowing them to live without starvation. The family itself consisted entirely of athletes, because his mother and father were also excellent athletes, and Akira's grandparents were even famous volleyball players a long time ago, when it was still not so actively covered on television. And Akira's mother and father were also successful athletes, but in different disciplines; his mother in judo, and his father in basketball, which was not very popular before as it is now, but even then this sport became more popular after the war. Although the common bond in the family was judo, which probably had a special meaning in the soul of each member of the Yagami family. Half of Akira's mother's family tree was a judo fan, while her father's family tree was a karate fan. In general, the Yagami family was a family where almost every child had the skills to defend or fight, and everyone had a good knowledge of sports at a certain time. And it was here that Akira Yagami was born, she was born into a family where literally the Gods themselves sent her to become another athlete, but the truth is, this time it seems Gods gave her another gift that none of the members of the Akira family could even think of.

Childhood

Yagami Akira became the eldest child in the Akira family, although in fact she was the youngest child. From a very young age, she was quite loud, sometimes even with a bang, always crying. She learned to walk quite early, actively beginning to learn the basics of infancy. Also, her first word wasn't "dad" or "mom", her first word was "bam!", a phrase she first heard when her grandfather was playing volleyball with some boys from the nearest school. And when the boys hit the ball and it fell to the sand, but the opponent did not have time to take the ball, the attacker always said the word "Bam" or "Juhu!". But for some reason, it was the sound of hitting the ball and the word "Bam" that attracted the child's attention. On the same day as those students left the courtyard of their house, she ran out to her grandfather and shouted "Bam, bam!", the parents looked at it in disbelief, and only the grandfather laughed and understood his granddaughter's hint. Of course, he didn't give her that yellow-and-blue ball, because it probably weighed even more than she did, and it would have been too heavy for her. So Grandpa quickly found a balloon, inflated it and painted it in the colors of a volleyball ball. And when he gave a homemade volleyball to his granddaughter, she started trying to do something with it, imitating the movements she saw when watching the first volleyball match in her life, which took place in the courtyard of her house. And it is clear that these were not ideal movements, which is logical because she is a child, actually a baby, but grandpa sat on his knees and began gently setting the ball for her (Or passing the ball, for those who find this concept difficult) as an experienced setter. And Akira started hitting the ball when it flew up to her, almost like the players she was watching during that volleyball match in the courtyard. And five minutes passed, then ten minutes, then fifteen, thirty, an hour, two hours, four hours... And young Akira kept asking to throw a ball in the air for her, actively saying "Bam, bam!". The grandfather did not refuse his granddaughter and only silently setting the ball for her, looking at how the child was obsessed with the game, as he was for the first time in school, when he first saw a game called volleyball... And so they played until late at night, until it was pitch dark and it was time to go to bed. But Akira really couldn't agree with this because she seemed to be full of energy that day, as if she didn't want to let the ball fall near her or just lie on the floor as if on a parquet floor. And she was actively indignant and even cried, while actively shouting the words "Bam, bam! Whoosh!", simultaneously gesturing with his hands to grandpa, as if asking him to set the ball for her a couple more times. And that day, only her grandfather calmed her down by coming to her bedroom with a volleyball ball and putting it next to her in bed like a teddy bear. And young Akira clutched the ball tightly and cried, muttering "bam..." at the same time, slowly falling asleep and not letting the ball go by a single centimeter. Akira's grandfather was so impressed with his granddaughter that day, who was at a very young age but had already developed a love for the yellow-blue ball that he hadn't seen in a long time. And so her grandfather stayed in her bedroom, keeping an eye on his granddaughter and making sure that the ball did not fall, as if guarding her bedroom like the parquet of the courts where he once played in his youth....

Kindergarten

When Yagami Akira reached the age of 3, her parents sent her to kindergarten, a place where she could meet other children for the first time. However, she was too active for her age, actively running and screaming, sometimes fighting for food or some kind of toy along the way. Most of the time, she quarreled with the children until they cried over the balls, trying to find a replacement for the volleyball, which she could only see at home in her grandfather's room. And as she got older, she became even more active and unstoppable, more aggressive and conflicted at such a young age. She couldn't find a common language with any of the children, because she was a walking source of energy, and also quite scary in character, even for boys who were like bullies in kindergarten. She also actively received abrasions and scratches due to her activity, often falling from somewhere or scratching her knees from falls while running. She was like a devil to the kindergarten staff, but even so, one of the teachers found Akira a pretty cute girl and even jokingly made her a hair band in the form of red horns like a demon, which Akira fell in love with and then obeyed only this teacher. Akira was generally a problem child because she usually fought in kindergarten with everyone who was somehow negative towards her or tried to take away her toy. And she often fought with guys her age or even slightly older in kindergarten, and sometimes even with several at once, even to the point of blood until she drove them away from herself or from the toy she wanted to protect. But Akira was also quite fair and reasonable for her young age, and she didn't touch those who were bullied in kindergarten, on the contrary, she protected them because she hated it when someone offended the weaker for no reason. Therefore, she fought not only for herself and toys, but also for those who were in trouble or whom the older boys or girls in kindergarten wanted to offend. This was also one of the reasons that the kindergarten teachers sometimes did not even report Akira's fights with the children, unless of course it was a moment where she was protecting someone, at such moments the teachers protected Akira and her parents from problems with the parents of the children whom Akira could beat as protection for the weaker in kindergarten.

And so, not without its flaws, of course, but Akira graduated from kindergarten and went to a local school.

Elementary school

So... Yagami Akira went to the first grade of elementary school. It's basically the same scenario as with kindergarten, the only difference is that she started paying attention to the sections. However, she did not manage to get into the volleyball section for reasons of behavior, because her parents nevertheless decided to take up the topic of her behavior. First, her parents told her to moderate her ardor and become more restrained and try to resolve conflicts without fighting, and she should also enroll in a swimming club if she wants to get into a volleyball club. At first, Akira argued with her parents, but after talking with her grandfather, she calmed down and began to adjust the situation with her behavior. And after two months, she will be allowed to enter the swimming club and, most importantly, the volleyball club. And if Akira quickly mastered swimming from the basics and began to stand out from the general background, then everything was more difficult with the volleyball club. To be more precise, the problem was that Akira also remained incredibly active and violent like a natural disaster, because despite the fact that she outwardly became calmer, in volleyball she only wanted to win and take every ball around her. And since it wasn't volleyball, but mini-volleyball, so to speak, the basics for elementary school volleyball, Yagami hated it, because she had serious problems with technique in the early years, not to mention playing in a team with such a violent nature. And at first, because of this, her parents often told her to leave volleyball and focus only on swimming, where she was much more successful then, but the truth is that such conversations only angered Akira and all dialogues of this kind ended in a quarrel with her parents. But once again, the grandfather and his special approach to his granddaughter help her focus and moderate her ardor for success. And so Akira began to treat everything with more restraint, although there was also a volcano burning inside her that was ready to erupt at any moment. And after diligently practicing volleyball techniques with her grandfather, Akira slowly began to stand out from the crowd.And after diligently practicing volleyball techniques with her grandfather, Akira slowly began to stand out from the total number of players on the court. There were mistakes and problems with socialization, but it was Akira, and it obviously wasn't for long, because the time of change was coming soon. Because Akira's obsession with volleyball increased as she grew older, like the danger of a bloodthirsty animal that was preparing to bare its fangs. Although she wasn't something like a dangerous animal, she was like a demon, a fierce and unrestrained demon that no one would be able to handle soon....

Secondary School and the Awakening of the Demon

The secondary school stage has arrived and it's time for a change. Even before going to secondary school, she had a conversation with her parents where her future was being decided. There was a dialogue about where Akira wants to progress further, swimming or volleyball... Although the pressure was great, Akira immediately gave up swimming and chose volleyball, and her decision was supported by her grandfather, as expected, and unexpectedly her grandmother. It was unusual in this situation that, although my grandmother was related to volleyball, she had long lost her love for this sport after an injury many years ago, one hundred percent cannot be said about her husband, because Akira's grandfather had only become even more fond of volleyball over so many years. But apparently even Grandma couldn't stand by, watching as Akira's parents try to put her on a path where Akira has no desire to progress further. Akira's grandmother was a serious person, and therefore, as soon as she and her grandfather approved Akira's decision, the parents immediately stopped putting pressure on Akira, because if the grandfather was kind and neutral, then the grandmother could definitely kick anyone's ass for her granddaughter. So the dispute about Akira's future was finally resolved thanks to the sudden help of his grandmother, the second demon in the family, and it was probably from his grandmother that Akira had such a character, because in her youth Asako (Akira's Grandmother) was a stormy girl who always got into a fight. The only thing that has changed over the years is that Asako has become calmer, perhaps it was the influence of Akihiro (Akira's Grandfather), because Akira's grandfather was really the personification of kindness and calmness in any situation. It is unclear how fate brought the devil and the angel together in the person of Akira's grandparents, but this is clearly a successful event in the Yagami bloodline.... So, as for Akira, she began to devote all the extra time to volleyball, which was now added by the disappearance of the swimming club in her life. And Akira's skills immediately began to improve, although there were still problems due to her height, which plays a big role in volleyball when beating central blockers. And her serve in matches became deadly, and there were only problems with her height, which did not always allow her to beat her opponents with ease, as taller players would have done. But one day Akira stayed at home, deciding to deal with the issue of her jump, as well as coordination of movements. And then suddenly it turns out that Akira's grandmother, Asako, stayed at home. And when Grandma asked Akira, they started talking and Grandma decided to give a couple of tips to Akira, which would have a huge impact on her later. Since Asako was involved in athletics, she knows more about athletics than volleyball, but she also knows how to help a volleyball player with physical fitness. And so Asako advised Akira to run, jog, exercise coordination, and do stretching. And Akira started running, running a lot, every day, before and after school, at first it was difficult, but after that it became the norm. Akira began to run a lot, but also to devote time to recovery and stretching, simultaneously consolidating all of the above exercises for coordination of movements. And progress literally went by leaps and bounds, Akira became faster, more resilient, and she also began to jump much higher. She actually used to also jump incredibly high, but now she could actually jump at the level of the men's net in a volleyball match, which made it easier for her to play on the women's net in a volleyball match because the net was lower there and consequently she spent less energy on the jump. And if Akira had previously been unable to decide on a position, now she finally decided to become an opposite hitter in order to attack from the right side from the back line, a position where strength and jumping ability are required, which Akira now had more than enough. And so she joined the main team of her school at the end of her first year at Secondary School. And immediately she brought her school the title of the winner of the local tournament, and then won an additional summer tournament. In these two competitions, she received the MVP and the title of the best striker of the tournament, although in the first (Spring) tournament she appeared only closer to the semifinals, but she showed furious statistics and destroyed everyone in her path...

Dominance and The Transition to High School

Incredible success and fame, that's how you can describe the next two years at secondary school for Akira. Because her school team, led by her, won 6 trophies in two years, that is, all the trophies in a calendar year (three trophies in total; Autumn tournament, Spring tournament; Summer tournament). And thus, her team twice visited the regional tournament among Japanese schools, where she twice won and took two MVP statuettes for the best offensive game. Although she certainly got 8 MVPs in two years, 6 for each tournament in two years and 2 for two regional tournaments. And she had a choice, go to high school or try to go to some college to play in prestigious leagues where the teams are much stronger. But she decides to try to just go to the practice matches of one of the colleges. Indeed, the training sessions were very different, but even so, she surpassed almost the entire team of that college and even beat the main college team with a team she didn't recognize, without leaving any chance. Well, that's why Akira decides to go to high school in order to complete her full-time studies and then enroll in some university, where the teams will already be much stronger with possible leagues and tournaments that lead to a regional tournament. And so Akira chose a new school for herself, Nakihama High School. She immediately enrolls in a volleyball club, from the threshold of the club manager's attacks with her application, which, of course, no one refused. And the next day she already came to school, although she came after finishing her studies, lying about the fact that she would not be able to attend classes today because of a trip to the hospital for help, of course she did it all for the sake of volleyball practice. And in the end, Akira came to training, and she surprisingly quickly got to know her new teammates. The most interesting thing about her new team was that everyone was quite talented, well, more precisely, they just played well, but they played for fun and not for the sake of results.

The Present Time and The Last Dance

It's been two years since Akira joined Nakihama High School. For two years, the school dominated the local tournaments, taking 6 out of 6 tournaments in two years, but at the same time not winning a single regional tournament. Winning the regional has become a new challenge, because now only university teams and teams from different prefectures of Japan actually play there. This is even more powerful than some student leagues throughout Japan, because only the best high schools from all prefectures of Japan actually participate here. In any case, Yagami received 6 MVP awards, as always, for the best offensive performance in all tournaments over the past two years. And that's how time flew by and Yagami Akari became a third-year student, that is, she began studying her last year at Nakihama High School. But her routine remains the same as always; daily workouts and jogging in any weather, stretching and coordination exercises that are honed to perfection - all this never stops from the moment when she set herself the goal of becoming the best. She intends to win a regional tournament this year and show Japan who the future of this country really is on the volleyball court. Therefore, Akira will train until she rubs her legs and hands in blood, but even then she will get up and continue playing volleyball to show that she is the main nightmare on the volleyball court and that she is the one to be afraid of.....
