Nishinoya has the most awesome teacher. I love how even in school all he thinks about is volleyball :)

Sorry for the late review. Things have been hectic. Fandom blind; you know the drill. ;)

Anyway, this was a really lovely story. Since I know pretty much zilch about sports, I had to look up Libero...though I admit I didn't do it until the middle of the story, and I'm only telling you this because I think you'll find it amusing. Anyway, I had assumed that Libero looked similar to libro in Spanish...so I assumed it had something to do with books. I was thinking maybe he was an assistant librarian or something, lol. But, obviously, that's not what it is. Anyway... :P

I really love how Nishinoya basically lives, eats, and breathes volleyball. I will say I feel really bad for him in the beginning. First, he's having what I assume are flashbacks of old games. Or maybe they're more fears of what could happen? Regardless, he's distracted and having a difficult time focusing. I also feel bad because he's trying to get his head straight (lol, though the slapping himself thing was cute), and he's making himself look like a fool. Those girls were mean!

Ah, and then the teacher comes over to talk with him. Well, letting him know he's on a time crunch seems to get his head in gear. Fifteen minutes is not a lot of time, though. You made me worry he wasn't going to finish on time. He must write fast!

Also, I felt bad for his friend, getting reprimanded as well. However, the teacher kind of has a point...that in the classroom, they have to be individuals and do their own work.

Anyway, though, once Nishinoya thinks in terms of volleyball in relation to his vocabulary words, he's able to work quickly and show he understands the words after all. I'm glad he was able to get it done on time. LOL, well, he must have written fast if his penmanship was awful (Of course, that's just common for some people, especially men/boys. My husband has bad penmanship, too, lol.)

Ah, but the teacher isn't so bad after all. She's got some very good advice, and we find out why Nishinoya doesn't have the best grades. He's smart and he knows the material, but he doesn't do his work. I love how she correlates it to volleyball so he can understand how bad he's screwing up...and if he keeps on his path, he won't play. I also love how the others call him the Guardian Deity (which I'm sure is canon), but it's so lovely to know he's a protector of the team, if you will.

By doing well in school, he can keep protecting them, because he'll be able to play and make them happy. Without him, the team sounds like it would fall apart.

And lol, I really loved the last line. You know, she probably would make a good Libero. Maybe she was one in her younger days. That would have been cool. I really loved this story. Well done, dear. :)

SPAG/suggestions:

worksheet, but thinking—No comma needed here.

than slapped his cheeks-then slapped his cheeks

in anymore trouble- in any more trouble

"You're grades are-"Your grades are

with you, makes—I don't think you need a comma here.

this time, but looked at her- this time but instead looked at her

Waaaaah it's so cute~~~~~ I think it's interesting to see the characters from Haikyu outside the volleyball court. I guess you can take the Nishinoya from the volleyball court but you can't take the volleyball court from Nishinoya, haha. XD Great story!

Ahhhh, that last sentence :P It was such a Nishinoya thing to say. Perfect way to end the story!
Well done, loved it! :D

Wow, your writing is fantastic!

I love how you develop Nishinoya (and let's be real: it is so easy to get distracted from boring lessons!) and how you make the teacher sympathetic and helpful. Always great to see fics like this.

Thank you so much for sharing!

Alright,alright,gotta calm down,because I'm hyped! I really really love how you wrote Nishinoya and his thoughts,it all felt in character (perfectly to be honest) and oh my writing style is awesome and this is so good? Bless you for writing this,it made me really happy,since Nishonoya is my favorite and this One Shot is so man,if that girl knew how jealous I'm of her for sitting next to N sentences Nishinoya used were also really nice and his teacher seemed fair and kind too! Basically...I love this whole thing! Awesome!
