Hearing the sudden notification beside his ear, Hank's heart immediately filled with joy.
The system had upgraded?
Although he still did not know what kind of improvements this system upgrade had brought him, just judging from the fact that he had not obtained the system for very long, yet it had already raised his strength by so much, he could completely predict how great the improvements from this upgrade would be.
Thinking of this, Hank immediately began looking forward to it.
"Ding-dong! System upgrade complete. The Team Honor System has been added. It has been detected that the host is currently a member of Aoba Johsai High. The host's main team has naturally been bound as Aoba Johsai High!"
"Team Honor System: the host can increase synergy with Aoba Johsai High's starting players and draw exclusive tactical techniques through that synergy. When the host's synergy with a teammate reaches perfect, the host can obtain one Skill Upgrade Card, which can strengthen a volleyball technique the host has already mastered."
"Ding-dong! It has been detected that the host has experienced an exhilarating match against Shiratorizawa Academy. Physical ability +15, spiking +15, setting +12, Heavy Ball +14!"
After a pause of several seconds, the system notification sounded beside Hank's ear once again, informing him that the upgraded version of the system had successfully awakened.
Through the explanation given by the notification, Hank more or less understood the functions of the upgraded system, as well as how each ability was reflected.
First, the most important thing was the new upgrade function the system had just brought him. From now on, he could continuously train with the starting players on the team and draw volleyball techniques corresponding to their positions or personalities.
For example, during the third set, when he and Oikawa had entered that incredibly synchronized state, the right-and-left-handed spiking technique that awakened afterward should have come from that.
Although he did not know why he had drawn a volleyball technique connected to Oikawa before the system had even awakened this ability, he could be certain of one thing.
As long as he could obtain the volleyball techniques of every player on the team in the future, his own strength would definitely undergo a massive improvement.
That much was certain.
After all, judging from the effects of the right-and-left-handed offense Oikawa had brought him, it absolutely surpassed the volleyball techniques he had mastered before. In terms of effectiveness, it even completely crushed the combination between Kageyama and Hinata.
Regarding this point, Hank was extremely expectant.
As long as he could obtain volleyball techniques connected to all his teammates, then after entering Spring High, he would also have the strength to fight.
After all, this exclusive volleyball technique did not only affect him. It could also bring no small improvement to the teammates around him. In that case, it would practically raise the overall strength of his team from multiple angles.
If he wanted to win at Spring High, he absolutely could not rely only on individual ability.
From the battle against Shiratorizawa just now, this was already clear. After entering Spring High, they would need even more teamwork. No matter how outstanding an individual's ability was, team coordination was still necessary.
"A Skill Upgrade Card can improve the volleyball techniques I currently have. Let's see which ones I can choose."
Hank looked at the blue card in his hand, a card only he could see, and suddenly sank his consciousness into his mind.
Then, he directly opened his personal information panel and began checking which abilities he could improve next.
This was extremely important to him. It could even be said to be the most important decision he would make over the next few years.
After all, obtaining a Skill Upgrade Card was not easy.
At present, the only way to obtain one was to raise his synergy with Aoba Johsai High's starting players to the maximum level.
Before, he and Oikawa had been able to raise their synergy to the maximum so quickly entirely because Oikawa himself had the ability to study other people's characteristics. On top of that, Hank was Aoba Johsai High's ace.
It was only natural that their synergy would be very high.
And now, apart from Oikawa, who had already reached perfect synergy with him, there were still middle blocker Iwaizumi, opposite Kindaichi, blocker Kunimi, and libero Watari on the court.
If he could raise his synergy with all four of them to the maximum, then he could obtain four Skill Upgrade Cards. That would be enough to improve all the volleyball techniques he had currently mastered.

"Even if I make a mistake at Spring High in the future, I can still go to an overseas club and represent them in matches."
Hank looked at his personal information panel. First of all, he was fairly satisfied with his current overall stats.
