- The Tournament Begins!“This year, I will be taking my place as champion and defeat all your champions!” Houka shouted out in excitement.His opponent stood opposite him at the arena. The other boy had dark hair, brown eyes and sharp features. His name was Taehyung, one of the top students in his year.Taehyung sneered at Houka. “Do you honestly think you'll defeat me? If it's any consolation, there are only three people left in this tournament that would ever want to see you dead” Houka laughed loudly. The rest of the students stared at Houka while whispering among themselves.‘You're so arrogant and stupid’ Taehyung thought.“That may not be true if I have someone else to fight against you. Someone from our class” said Houka while smirking.The entire crowd burst into cheers as they heard what Houka said."Yah! Who do you think you are?" Taehyung asked. "It is rude to interrupt people when they are talking!" Taehyung replied back.The crowd erupted into loud applause again after hearing the two boys bicker. ‘Tsukishima Kei’s brother, Yamaguchi Tadashi’ thought the crowd. Yamaguchi nodded towards the arena. Taehyung noticed this and gave a small smile before turning around.When Tadashi looked over the arena, he saw a girl sitting next to her brother. She had short brown hair with bangs covering her face. Her name was Tsukishima Hinata, but she didn't mind everyone calling her Shrimpy.Her name was also Hinata.Shrimpy was a nickname given by the bullies when they teased the small first year. When he was called Shrimpy, he never retaliated by making fun of them for calling him shrimp. He did however refuse to call them shrimps since he thought they weren't a bad thing.Tsukishima Kei sat next to Hinata and smiled. He didn't mind being called shrimpy either.He was quite tall for his age which made him stand out amongst the crowd. Hinata could feel himself blushing at how handsome Kei looked. It was like he was looking right at him. Kei then turned towards Hinata and smiled softly. He seemed shy but he was smiling softly. Hinata's heart melted when he noticed it.Kei then looked away quickly and started to fidget around. Hinata felt confused but he still felt happy.“Oh wow, this kid is so pure!” said some girls near Hinata.“How come he doesn't talk? I mean he should be good at communicating with others” said another girl.“He probably can't” said one guy.“Why would anyone reject a cute kid like that” said another girl.“They must hate us for being friends with such an adorable person” said yet another girl.The other guys nodded their heads. Some girls sighed, disappointed.Some others looked at Kei with a hint of envy.“Don't worry girls, we just need to wait until tomorrow. We will see what will happen” Yamaguchi comforted the girls with a smile. Hinata could tell that Yamaguchi was upset too.“Yeah, we just need to give him a chance and we will win” said the other guy.They cheered as they watched the tournament begin.The tournament was a big event. It lasted three days to three weeks and every year, the tournament was held once a year. Most students attended the tournament and fought each other for the title. However, this year, many teams from other prestigious schools participated as well. One reason why it was the largest tournament in the country was because of its popularity.
