Prior to the event, an advance orientation was held at each school for the 'High School Student Guides' who will support visitors. Staff visited each high school to explain the event concept and exhibition contents. This time, we report on the orientation held at Karasuno High School.

- Intrigued by the Exhibition Contents - Deepening Understanding from Their Respective Perspectives

Four members participated in the orientation: Shoyo Hinata, Tobio Kageyama, Kei Tsukishima, and Yu Nishinoya. They deepened their understanding of the event contents not just as support staff for visitors, but as 'High School Student Guides' who convey the charm of volleyball from the perspective of players actually engaged in the sport.

In the video exhibition at the 'Fly' booth, content analyzing the plays of national-level players from the perspective of 'flying' was introduced. Kageyama listened to the explanation with a serious expression and commented, 'This is educational,' showing high interest in the exhibition contents.

Also, when it was announced that in the interactive exhibition 'Aim! Highest Reach Challenge!!', visitors themselves could jump and challenge the highest reach with the guides, Hinata quickly showed his fighting spirit, saying, 'I won't lose!', seemingly swelling with expectations for the exhibition.

- Perspectives Unique to Athletes - Growing Expectations for the Actual Event

On the other hand, regarding the interactive exhibition 'Aim! Highest Reach Challenge!!', Tsukishima commented, 'It's quite exhausting to jump this high during a match. It would be good if that could be conveyed too.' He was looking at the potential of the exhibition from a perspective unique to an athlete.

During the explanation, there was a scene where the first-year students had a minor scuffle, but Nishinoya immediately called out to the staff, 'Sorry about our first-years!' showing his side as a senior caring for his juniors.

The orientation proceeded in a friendly atmosphere from beginning to end and was highly exciting.

The students deepened their understanding of the exhibition from their respective perspectives, thought about how to deliver the charm of volleyball to the visitors, and raised their expectations and motivation for the actual event. It was an orientation where their enthusiasm to fulfill their roles as 'High School Student Guides' in their own ways was impressive, making their performance in the actual event even more anticipated.
