She smirked to herself. "Teiko Middle School, huh? The almighty powerhouse located at Tokyo." 

Note: the race that they're doing is a 400m relay race
----------

[Name] and Aimi were finished changing their clothes, so they decided to do a bit of stretching. The two performed dynamic warm-ups which included straight leg raise, leg swing, shoulder swing, and other more.

"Aimi, help me out a bit." [Name] called out.

"Hai-ssu."

Aimi's response made [Name]'s eyes squint at her. The [haircolor] haired also raised one of her eyebrows. "Seriously?"

"Whaaat? Blame Kise-kun for it!"

"Seriously, that cheese head..." [Name] rubbed her temples before continuing their stretching. 

After stretching for ten minutes, [Name] and Aimi approached the other two girls. Aimi gave them a smile which the two happily returned with a smile as well.

The first one to introduce herself had brown hair and brown eyes.
"Hello. I'm Takasaki Kyouka from class 2."

"Matsuoka Yuuki. Class 4." The second one said. She had dyed red hair and dark brown eyes.

"Nice to meet you guys. I'm Fujiwara Aimi and this is [Lastname] [Name]."

"Osu." [Name] bowed her head a bit and greeted the two.

"So. Let's get on with the plan." Aimi said. "You two have experienced in relay races right?"

"Well, just a bit. We were more focused on the individual competitions." Takasaki replied.

"Ehhh, I see."

"But that's not a problem right? I mean we still had a bit of experience." Matsuoka uttered.

"Yeah, it's not." Aimi placed a hand on her hip, smiling. Then she looked at the two from head to toe, as if she was analyzing them. "So, the first leg will be me. Second leg would be you Takasaki, with Matsuoka being the third leg, and lastly [Name] being the anchor leg. Any objections?"

"Ah. That's actually a nice start for us Fujiwara-san." Matsuoka said.

"Good." Aimi sighed, and thanked the two afterwards. Then she proceeded to discuss other things to the two.

[Name] on the other hand was just observing her team mates. She was amazed that the two other girls were comfortable and not afraid to tell what they were thinking to Aimi. And she also preferred not to interrupt them because she already knows what the drill is on Aimi when it came to things like these.

Then she looked at the captain's team. Hmm... looks like they're discussing as well.

"Hai. Let's stop what you guys are doing and proceed to the race." A female voice called out while clapping her hands. She had long blonde hair and yellow eyes.

Why the hell does she look like that cheese head?, [Name] thought.

"We're ready. But what about the other team?" Tachibana, the captain, asked.

A vein popped out on Aimi's forehead when she saw their captain smirking. It was like she was really challenging them to give it their all. "Actually, we're ready long before you guys were."

"Okay." The blonde haired girl said. Then she handed the two batons to the first legs. It was dark blue and had 'Karasuno' written on one side, and 'Girls' Track and Field' on the other side. "Now, get to your positions."

The two teams did exactly what the girl said. They got to their positions while waiting for the whistle to blow since the team didn't had those fancy starting pistol or a noise triggering an electronic gun.

"Ne, Chrishi. I need you to time them, since I will be the one watching." The blonde haired girl notified the girl beside her who had brown hair and green eyes.

"Copy that." The green eyed girl said, getting her timer ready. Behind the two girls were the rest of the track and field team who did not participate the race. They were told to watch the newbies and so they did.

"Ready..."

The first legs were kneeling down with their heads also facing down.

"Set..."

The lower half of their body is now being lifted while waiting for the signal.

"Go!"

Upon hearing the whistle being blowed the first legs sprinted, not hesitating to use their speed while mainting the pace.

But...

"Huh...? How did she even get that fast?" Chrishi asked looking at the person who surpassed the fastest sprinter on their supposed team, who was named Sakurai, a person who was also on the captain's team.

"Impossible..." Another member exclaimed.

All of the other members' eyes were on the one person who surpassed Sakurai.

It was Fujiwara Aimi. The first leg of the first years' team. She was already ten meters ahead of Sakurai, while holding the baton on the right hand. She already passed the first bend of the field.

"So fast..."

"She's like a cat running..."

Aimi smirked when she heard the reactions. She panted as she went through her thoughts. Fast? I haven't even used my full speed yet. This is just my usual pace.

Aimi was nearing the changeover zone with the second leg of their team. Upon stepping on the twenty meter changeover, and reaching the middle of the zone, she extended her arm to Takasaki.

"Go, Takasaki!" Aimi screamed, as Takasaki received the baton on her left hand. Then she ran, not hesitating to use her full speed even if she knew she wasn't that fast like their first leg. But it didn't really matter. They had gotten the lead thanks to their first leg.

She tilted her head a bit to her right side and saw no one running beside her. I might make it in time.

Oh, how wrong she was.

The other second leg of the other team was now leading the race. She was two meters ahead of Takasaki.

"Shimeda-senpai, go!!!"

"Shimeda-san, you can make it!!"

Takasaki gasped when she saw Shimeda ahead of her. She also heard the encouragements which seemed to pressure her a bit. She panted and panted. I can still do it!

She pushed herself to run more, which she managed to do. She managed to close the gap between them by a centimeter but still, Shimeda was faster than her. Shimeda reached the changeover zone before her but that didn't get through her.

"Matsuoka-san, you can do it!!" Takasaki said as she passed the baton to Matsuoka who received it using her right hand.

Matsuoka nodded, and ran. She looked ahead, trying to avoid the tempation to look back or even look to the side so she could she the other team. It was one of her weakness. Looking at the opponents on her side.

But, she failed.

She had looked to the side, it was also the same time that the other leg of the other team was going in on her. The person was closing their gap.

I won't lose!

She pushed her legs more, which made her more faster than before. She didn't see the person before, from the corner of her eyes. I can reach it.

Her right leg was the first one to reach the changeover zone, next her left and repetition. When she reached the middle of the zone, she immediately passed the baton to [Lastname], who was not looking back at her.

"[Lastname]-san, go for it!" Matsuoka told her, panting.

The [haircolor] haired girl understood what Matsuoka said and nodded, still not looking back. When she felt the baton already on her left hand, she gripped onto it and ran.

"Tachibana-san, don't lose!"

"Taaachin! Show them who's the real winner!"

Tachibana heard her nickname being called by a familiar voice. I got it already, you guys.

"Tachibana, go!" Her team mate screamed as she passed the baton.

"Hai, hai. I got it from here, Akamine." Tachibana assured her team mate. She received it without hassle and go for the run.

She looked at the person beside her lane who was a bit ahead of her. She observed the newbie first year.

She has a really nice form of running and also... not to mention her beautiful face as well, Tachibana looked at the girl's legs and back at her running pace again. But, why is she running like Akamine's pace? I thought she was from Teiko. But I could still be wrong to think she was one of the regular runners at the team. Well, that's it then. I'll go for it.

Tachibana pushed her legs forward which made her run more faster than her usual pace of running. Now, she was ahead of the first year by fifteen meters, and she did not bother looking back at the said girl. This is a race, after all.

[Name], on the other hand, saw how their captain passed her like it was nothing. Looking at the back figure of their captain, she saw how really far the brown eyed captain was. About fifteen meters ahead, huh?

"Tachibana, you'll make it!"

"Go, captain!"

[Name] heard the encouragements from the track team. As expected of an audience...

The long haired girl looked at where Aimi was and saw that she was making that expression on her face. But it's still early, Aimi...

"Ugh, do what you want [Name]. I won't oppose." Aimi said, rubbing her temples as she saw that [Name] returned her look.

Ah, the half of the lane is closing up.[Name] saw herself nearing the middle of the lane she was in. Now it was sixty meters ahead before she could reach the finish line of the lane. Just five more steps.

[Name] closed her eyes and focused. One... two... three... four... five... Then she reopened her eyes and saw that the captain was still ahead of her.

[Name] raised her right leg and went for the fifth step.

Ah, I did it.

In just over a minute, [Name] was now running beside Tachibana's side which caused the whole track team to stirr except for a certain someone.

"There we go." Aimi whispered, smirking in the process.

"Haaaaahhhh??"

"Holy shit-"

"How did she get there?"

"They were fifteen meters behind! What the fuck happened?"

"W-wait, look! She's even accelerating!"

The whole team saw [Name] running ahead of Tachibana, which now had a ten meter difference. The [haircolor] haired girl was accelerating more which made the ten meter difference into a twenty meter difference.

"Is she a monster?"

"But she was running normal before!"

"What in the world?"

[Name] finally reached the finish line, stopping herself once she stepped on the grass. She panted and panted, taking the fresh air inside her lungs after finishing one hell of a race.

Everything around them was silent. They were all too shocked to see the second years defeated by the first years.

Just as when [Name] decided to turn around, her team mates were running towards her, tackling her in the process.

"That was so cool, [Lastname]-san!"

"You did it, eh?" Aimi said, offering her a hand. She was the only one who did not charge at her.

[Name] took her hand and cleaned the grass off her clothes. "Have you ever seen me disappoint you before, Aimi?"

"Of course not."

[Name] noted her reply, then walked towards the team.

"Woah! That was so cool, newbie!"

"Wow, you were as fast as the wind!"

"Incredible! Even though you're still a first year!"

Fast? Aimi thought. As she stared at [Name] who was thanking the track team for the compliments. Then Aimi looked back at the track team again. That was not even her full speed.

[Name] looked at the people in the track team. They were charging all kinds of comments towards her, all of them being positive. But [Name] felt someone was watching her from afar. She looked at her left side and saw that someone was standing there, watching their team. They made eye contact for a bit before [Name] darted away when she heard her name being called out.

The person saw that the girl was walking towards another girl. They seemed to be talking about something, but that didn't stop the person from staring at her. The person was still watching her, not daring to take both eyes off of her.

"Oi, Kageyama! Let's go already! Daichi-san will scold us for being late!"

"Dumbass! Can't you see I'm still observing here?!"

"That's it! I'm dragging you away from here!"

"Huh?" Aimi tilted her head to the side. She squinted her eyes at the field beside the track team's field. I thought I heard two people yelling...

"Anyways, what your team did was great. I never expected that we would be defeated." The captain spoke.

"Thank you, Tachibana-san."

"Tachibana is fine. But you can also call me Yuna."

"Hai."

"By the way, why did you two enroll so late in school?"

Eek. The combo placed a thin line on their lips.

"We had a really huge problem in our previous school, it made us almost impossible to actually enroll here at Karasuno. But thankfully, the school still accepted us."

"Teiko, right?"

Aimi's eyes widened and then returned to normal. "Yes, captain."

She must've not miss that in our forms. Well, who could not miss a powerhouse school like that?

"I heard there was a group called 'generation of miracles' or something."

"Yes. They were pros at basketball."

"Ah, right. I remember now. I saw one of their games actually." Tachibana said, placing her hand over her chin. "A colorful bunch of guys. You know, like a rainbow."

Another sweatdropped from the two. "Yeah..."

Well, they do get that a lot though...

"What about you two?" Tachibana asked the other two first years.

"Ah.. well... I didn't feel like practicing..." Matsuoka uttered.

"I had problems with my family, Captain..." Takasaki looked at the ground.

"Then what made you decide you apply here?"

"We happened to see your plays, Senpai. And we kinda felt... somehow... returning to the club..."

"Good decision. You will definitely not regret it." Tachibana reassured the two and grinned at them.

[Name] and Aimi observed at the track team in front of them. They were lively, full of smiles and laughter. The other members were talking to the new members, and they were really getting along with one another.

"Aimi, what do you think?"

"Geh. Your actually asking for my opinion?"

"I actually do. Well, not most of the time."

Aimi grinned at [Name], then looked back at the track team.

"They're a really nice team, [Name]. I think we're gonna enjoy being here."
