When TS High School Boys Are Too Adaptable Chapter 29

If you enjoy this novel I would appreciate you rating it on NU.

ED: Sphenimersus

Basketball is over in PE as of today, so we will be switching over to volleyball.

Yes, you heard me right, volleyball.

It wouldn’t be a problem if I was still a man, but because I became a girl, I’m now  short.

I’m as much disgusted as I’m sad.

Volleyball it is though.

I'm worried about whether I can reach or not.

“Kei, you have good jumping power, so it’s okay, isn't it?” (s.h.i.+zuka)

s.h.i.+zuka says, and I nod to agree. It’s best not to worry about such things.

“Yep. I think Kei will be okay as well.” (Chiaki)

Apparently, Chiaki also agrees with s.h.i.+zuka.

“You’ll be just fine.” (Kaori)

Of course, it’s needless to say Kaori will be just fine.

“Right.” (Kei)

Even if all three of them say the same thing, I don’t have enough confidence to say there won’t be a problem, because my reach is nowhere near what it used to be.

It’s true; a lot of my cla.s.smates compliment me on my jumping power.

After all, I never failed to block every shot while playing defense in basketball. To be able to do so with my height should mean I have at least moderate jumping power.

“Well, I just couldn’t help wondering about it. If I couldn't reach it, I wouldn't be able do anything. Anyway, see you later.” (Kei)

I left my friends here and headed to the teacher’s locker room to change.

“[Tsk]”

I couldn’t miss hearing the derisive ‘tsk’ from one of the girls who were walking right behind me.

Everyone knows I was originally a man, so of course there are a few girls that aren’t happy with me partic.i.p.ating with the girls in PE.

The net for volleyball had already been set up when we gathered in the gym. It looks pretty high to me after all.

Yuzawa, our PE teacher, had the first cla.s.s of the day set up the net while the last cla.s.s has to clean up.

We are the fourth cla.s.s today, so thankfully, we don’t have to set up or clean up.

We finish the warm up exercises as usual and get ready for volleyball, but we don’t get to just start a game.

First, we have to pair off and practice receiving and returning.

Luckily, I was close to the net, so I can check the height of the net outside of a game.

“Oh, wow.” (s.h.i.+zuka)

s.h.i.+zuka says, pity evident in her tone.

Well, it can’t be helped and I stand beside the net and stretch my arms straight up.

The top of the net is more than forty cm from my outstretched fingertips.

“Uh...” (Kei)

Even when I was a man, I don't remember reaching the top of the net, but I think it was closer to ten cm difference.

Even though the net is lower for the girls, this is a bit much.

However, it's still too soon for me to get discouraged.

I squat down and jump as hard as I can to the top of the net.

Just as the top of the net was coming into line of sight, I swing my arm as if I’m hitting the ball toward s.h.i.+zuka. However, there is no ball to hit.

“Seriously?!” (s.h.i.+zuka)

“Amazing!”

“How did she do that?!”

My cla.s.smates around me, who saw my jump, reacted incredulously.

I’m amazed myself, because I think my wrist was above the net when I jumped.

“Next, practice blocking and spiking the ball across the net.” (Yuzawa)

Yuzawa says loud enough to be heard by everyone.

I take a look at the clock on the wall. Cla.s.s will be over soon, so there isn’t going to be enough time to play a game today.

Not that it really matters because I need to use this time to work on blocking and spiking as the teacher said.

I’m nowhere near as good at this as I am at basketball.

-- My b.o.o.bs are bouncing.

Well, this is interesting. I notice my b.o.o.bs are slowly and swaying up and down as I jump and at the top of their arc is when it seems I should move to block.

(TN: Never heard of using your b.o.o.bs for timing something. LOL. Go figure.)

Jumping to match my opponent, I was able to block the ball they were trying to get over the net.

Ha! All this worrying over nothing. I’m going to be just fine after all.

“d.a.m.n her!”

One of the girls that was behind me earlier says while glaring at me.

She has dyed brown hair cut into a bob. I don’t remember seeing her in my cla.s.s, so she is probably from the neighboring cla.s.s that takes PE with us. Could she be the one that tsk’d at me earlier?

Not that it really matters all that much. Naturally, she is taller than I am, maybe even taller than Kaori.

Ignoring her glare, I move to the back of the line to continue practice.

Hmm. I’m a little concerned, but I don’t really care as long as nothing happens.

“Okay, time’s up. You don't have to put up the net, but pick up the b.a.l.l.s.” (Yuzawa)

Yuzawa announces and with that today’s PE cla.s.s comes to an end.

“Good work today.” (Kei)

I say to Kaori, s.h.i.+zuka and Chiaki and try not to show a smug expression.

“See, you did just fine.” (s.h.i.+zuka)

s.h.i.+zuka says to me.

Well, I definitely had no trouble.

“Well, that’s true.” (Kei)

“Really, Kei's jumping power is amazing.” (Chiaki)

Chiaki says, unusually excited. Was it really so amazing? I don’t think it was all that much.

“Yes, it was definitely amazing.” (s.h.i.+zuka)

“I wouldn’t say that.” (Kaori)

Kaori doesn’t join in to praise me. Well, that’s how it usually goes.

(TN: She’s more than a little tsundere. You ought to have figured this out by now.)

“I'm here, see you soon.” (Kei)

I say and leave the three of them to head into the teacher’s locker room again.

How many times have I been in here? I’ve never really thought about it, but I've already gotten used to it.

I enter the dressing room and open my locker, so I can change. I stripdown to my underwear and place my gym clothes in my locker.

I hear the sound of the dressing room door opening as reach out for my clothes to finish changing.

No one else usually comes in here, but it’s lunch break right now and maybe Yuzawa wants to change as well.

“Igaras.h.i.+.”

I finish putting on my camisole and look back to the person who spoke to me.

It’s the brown-haired girl, who glared at me during volleyball, along with the other girls with long, black hair.
