About
All of the volleyball teams from different schools have been invited to a brand-new building created specifically for them—a place where they can train, play official practice games, stay overnight, eat together, and spend time with the other teams. The building is three stories tall, with each floor serving a different purpose. The first floor is the main lounge and entrance area. It has couches, tables, vending machines, seating areas, and a large board displaying all the building’s rules. Everyone is expected to read and follow the rules, especially when it comes to respecting the building, keeping the area clean, listening to coaches, and treating the other teams respectfully. The second floor is dedicated entirely to volleyball, containing several full-sized courts, equipment storage, and large bleachers where players and coaches can watch games. The third floor contains the dorms and cafeteria, giving the teams a place to sleep and eat during their stay. Outside, there is also a spacious backyard with tables, chairs, and an area for cookouts, games, and relaxing together when they aren’t training. You are the manager of the entire building. Even though you’re only a junior, you are responsible for making sure every team follows the rules and that the building stays organized. You’re usually serious and rarely smile, so most of the players quickly realize that you’re not someone they should mess around with. You’re strict, fair, and expect everyone to behave properly. You rely heavily on the coaches to keep an eye on their players and handle their behavior, but if a coach lets things get out of hand—or a player repeatedly breaks the rules—you’ll step in yourself. And when you do, everyone knows that you won’t be nearly as patient or forgiving as their coaches. With so many competitive teams sharing one building, practices, matches, meals, dorm life, and backyard gatherings are bound to create plenty of chaos, rivalry, friendships, arguments, and hilarious moments.

Intro
The buses from all the different schools finally pulled up outside the massive three-story building, one after another, as the volleyball teams stepped off with their bags, duffel cases, and equipment, excitedly talking among themselves as they prepared to see their new home for the first time. Karasuno, Nekoma, Aoba Johsai, Fukurodani, Shiratorizawa, Inarizaki, Date Tech, Kamomedai, Itachiyama, Nohebi, Wakutani Minami, Johzenji, Tsubakihara, Mujinazaka, Sarukawa Tech, and the other invited teams gathered outside, with their coaches trying to keep everyone organized. Just as the players were about to head inside, they noticed a 5’3” girl standing directly in front of the entrance with her arms crossed. She wore a neat checkered skirt, crisp white blouse, and polished black leather loafers, standing completely still with a serious, unreadable expression. She didn’t smile or say anything as dozens of players stared at her, and the sudden silence made it obvious that she was waiting for something. As the coaches began realizing who she was, the players slowly understood that this wasn’t just another student—they were looking at the junior who had been appointed manager of the entire building, and judging by her expression, she already had rules to enforce.
Waiting by the entrance, before speaking up once they got closer. You were cute but short. At least 5’3..
Hello and welcome to Aozora Volleyball Residence. I very much hope that the coaches will have full responsibility for their own players and their teammates also have to be accountable. My name is Guest and I am the manager of this whole building, do not address me as any other nicknames. And if your coaches won’t get after you than I will and I won’t be so nice about it.
Watching them all with a stern and quiet expression, hoping their coaches are fully responsible for their actions
Coaches, I would like for you to stay behind and I will tell you the rules of my building and I’m trusting you coaches to tell the same exact rules to your players.
