"Onee-san! Aniki! You better wake up before Mama knocks you up with her frying pan!" Takumi said as she opened both of her siblings' doors simultaneously as they were right next to each other.

"Kumi! It's 6 in the morning," Mayu said sleepily.

"You're way too energetic for a ten year old," Yuki yawned.

"Come on, Onee-san, Aniki! Don't you guys remember? Aniki, you have a flight to catch to Italy! Onee-san, you need to go to university!" Takumi said as she basically dragged her two siblings out of bed.

"Mama! I got them to wake up!" Takumi exclaimed as their mother, Midori looked at her children as she cooked.

"Is that tamagoyaki, Mama?" Mayu asked excitedly.

"Of course, Mayu, I made it so that you three could look forward to breakfast everyday," Mama said with a smile.

"Itadakimasu!" The three children thanked before they started to eat the food.

When the three finished, they rushed up the stairs to grab their backpacks (and luggage for Yuki) before putting on their shoes.

"Ja nae, Mayu!" Yuki and Takumi said, Yuki a bit more emotionally due to the fact he wouldn't be seeing his younger sister for a long time.

"Ja nae, Aniki, Kumi! Aniki, you better text me the second you get there!" Mayu said as she hugged both of her siblings tightly.

"I will, Mayu, you're my imouto-chan," Yuki said as he bid farewell to Mayu one more time before the girl walked out of the door.

"Now, let's get you to the airport, Yuki," Mama said.

"Yes, Mama," Yuki said as he hauled his big luggage case onto their red Hyundai car.

"To Narita airport we go!" Takumi exclaimed childishly.

"Yuki, you better take care of yourself well, okay?" Mama fussed as she hugged her oldest and only son.

"Yes, Mama," Yuki nodded as he hugged his mother back warmly before turning to Takumi.

"Aniki, I'll miss you," Takumi said as she hugged Yuki tightly.

"It's only going to be a year, Kumi, I'll make sure to call you as much as I can, okay?" Yuki comforted.

"I'll still miss you, Aniki," Takumi pouted as she pulled away.

After Mama and Takumi waved Yuki goodbye, watching his figure slowly disappearing in the crowds of people, they went back to the car to go to Takumi's elementary school, the Yahagi Minami Elementary School.

"I'll see you after school, Mama, you don't have to pick me up, I'll walk home, okay?"  Takumi said as she hugged Mama.

"Oh Takumi, my sweet baby," Mama said.

"You and Papa need to rest, I'll manage on my own," Takumi said before she bid goodbye to Mama and entered her school.

It was an exciting day for the 5th graders at Yahagi Minami Elementary School, the students of the Nippon Science Sport University were coming to introduce future career paths that they have chosen.

"Kenji!" Takumi exclaimed at her boy best friend.

"Kumi, how was your summer?" Kenji asked.

"Great! I am kind of sad though, I just had to say goodbye to my Aniki," Takumi said, feeling a bit disheartened.

"Hey, it's going to be alright, Kumi, I felt just like that when I had to say goodbye to Kento," Kenji comforted.

"Your brother was the one who almost made it to the Ryujin Nippon team right?" Takumi asked excitedly.

"Yep," Kenji said sadly, "he almost made it, but the coaches said he needed more practice and to try out again in a few years."

"I can see your brother achieving great heights," Takumi encouraged.

"Me too!" Kenji said brightly.

"Konnichiwa, gakusei!" Akagi Sensei greeted as the students entered the classroom.

"Konnichiwa, sensei!" The students respectfully greeted back as they bowed to their teacher.

"As you know, today, we will be having some special guests from the Nippon Sport Science University!" Akagi Sensei said.

"Wah," Some of the students said in admiration as five tall students walked into the room.

"Konnichiwa, Senpai!" The class stood up and bowed to the older brothers and sisters.

"Konnichiwa," The five university students bowed to the students before bowing to Akagi Sensei.

Akagi Sensei bowed back before she asked, "Konnichiwa, can you please introduce yourselves to the class?"

"Hai!" The five said.

"Sato Akira desu, douzo yoroshiku! I'm currently a medical student, 4th year," A girl who was about 5'5 with glasses bowed.

"Tanaka Jiro desu, I'm a student studying law, and it's my second year," A boy with dark brown hair and a bright smile bowed.

"Akiyama Riku desu, I'm a student researcher, and it's my third year," A boy who towered over the little 5th graders bowed.

"Suzuki Himari desu, I currently play as a soccer player in university, and I'm in second year," A cheerful girl with clear skin and a long ponytail bowed.

"Takahashi Ran desu, I'm a volleyball player in university, and I'm in my first year," A really tall boy with a cute smile beamed as he bowed.

"Arigatou gozaimasu!" Akagi Sensei thanked the five students as she instructed, "there are fifteen students in this class, so you can group into groups of three and rotate to a new brother or sister every five minutes, okay?"

"Hai, sensei!" The students replied cheerfully.

Takumi and Kenji got up and found another fellow student in their class, Ikari Ichika.

"Ichika, wanna join us?" Takumi asked.

"Hai, Takumi," Ichika said as the group of two became a group of three.

"Great! Now, you can go find an older brother or sister," Akagi Senpai told the group.

"Guys, can we go to Takahashi-senpai first? I wanna ask him about volleyball!" Kenji exclaimed excitedly.

"I don't mind, as long as we go to Sato-senpai next," Takumi shrugged as Ichika nodded.

"Takahashi-senpai!" Kenji called as the three approached the older boy.

"Hai? Hi, kids!" Ran greeted, "what's up?"

"I want to ask you all about volleyball!" Kenji smiled adorably.

"Of course, what are your names?" Ran asked.

"My name's Kenji, she's Takumi, and she's Ichika!" Kenji introduced.

"Konnichiwa, Kenji, Takumi, Ichika!" Ran greeted, "now what do you want to ask me about?"

"What position do you play in volleyball?" Kenji asked.

"Outside hitter," Ran replied, "it's my favorite position, but I was Libero a couple of times."

"My older brother and sister both play as outside hitter in volleyball as well!" Takumi said excitedly.

"Waah! That's cool!" Ran childishly smiled.

"My brother plays as an opposite hitter!" Kenji added.

"Your family members sure are involved in volleyball!" Ran laughed, "what about you, Ichika?"

"My family are mostly bengoshi (lawyers)," Ichika said, feeling a bit left out.

"That's cool too! One of my childhood friends became a bengoshi as well!" Ran said as he gently patted Ichika's back.

"Welp, looks like I have to go and talk to another group! I'll see you three someday or even later!" Ran cheerfully said as he left.

It was a day Kenji and Takumi never forgot.
