"Miyagi Prefecture. Hank. I'm currently playing as a wing spiker."
Hank simply gave all of his information at once. None of this was a secret. The assistant team had people specifically responsible for recording information, which meant that if they wanted to check the details of anyone on the current team, it would be extremely easy.
It would not take much time at all.
So this was nothing more than going through the motions.
"Miyagi Prefecture!? That's where Wakatoshi Ushijima is from. He actually came out of a place like that!?"
"Calling it a brutal place wouldn't be an exaggeration. That guy Ushijima is already an official member of the All-Japan Youth team. In the future, he could represent the Japan National Team in matches."
"Looks like this guy is just as terrifying as he seems… Another troublesome monster has shown up."
"So he really is a monster!? Even Ushijima lost to him."
Hank had not expected that simply stating where he was from would immediately draw discussion from everyone around him. Although this was their first time seeing Hank, it was not their first time knowing of Wakatoshi Ushijima. Ushijima had trained with the All-Japan Youth team for much longer than many of them.
On top of that, Ushijima had already become an official member of the All-Japan Youth team very early on. That level of strength was enough to earn him respect within the youth team.
And now, Hank had also come out of that same Miyagi Prefecture.
There was no doubt about it. He was a genius.
Unless something unexpected happened, he would eventually compete on the same stage as them.
That was beyond question.
"He's a wing spiker too!? And what's with that expression? Is he looking down on me?"
After Hank walked into the group, a short player with blue-white hair silently began observing him. While watching Hank, he occasionally gritted his teeth, as if something about Hank had made him extremely angry.
Seeing this, Hank also turned to look at him, his eyes filled with confusion.
Did he have some kind of grudge against him?
He did not seem to remember ever meeting him before.
"Damn brat. He's definitely mocking my height in his heart."
"When training actually starts later, I'll definitely show you how good I am."
Kōrai Hoshiumi noticed Hank's gaze, and his face immediately darkened. He had never seen someone with such excellent physical conditions before.
It was one thing for him to be tall, but the muscles on his body were also clearly defined. Even more enviable was that his tendons were extremely long.
It was easy to predict that his jumping ability was also outstanding.
An athlete like this was not only tall. Even his talent was at the very top level.
He did not look like a human being at all.
Rather, he looked like the world's most perfect work of art.
And it was precisely because Hank was like this that Kōrai Hoshiumi felt irritated.
He would definitely make Hank take a proper look at his own strength later. When that time came, Hank would definitely have to eat his words and understand just how outstanding Hoshiumi's talent truly was.
Just like everyone else who had underestimated him.
"That seems to be someone who appeared in the original series… Kōrai Hoshiumi. Because of his height and his almost all-around playing style, he was called Kamomedai's Little Giant by the commentators during Spring High."
Hank naturally very quickly noticed the athlete in front of him, whose height was not particularly outstanding.
The position he played was the same as Hank's.
They were both wing spikers.
