"If nothing unexpected happens in the future, Aoba Johsai will definitely become the strongest team in Miyagi Prefecture. They'll reach a level where almost no one can stand shoulder to shoulder with them."
"This is absolute strength. Even if other people want to catch a glimpse of it, they have no way to do so."
"Aoba Johsai will definitely become the strongest team in Miyagi Prefecture. There's no doubt about that. In the future, all of them will become the strongest players of their generation."
"Even Itachiyama Institute may not be guaranteed to beat them. This is absolute strength. Who will be able to stand equal to them from now on?"
Looking at the match that was about to begin, the spectators in the surrounding stands could not help discussing it. Every single one of them was full of anticipation for the match that was about to start. In a sense, for a national-level event like this, it would naturally pull at the nerves of everyone present.
It would definitely draw a high level of attention from audiences all across Japan.
It could even be said that the match would be broadcast to the whole world. This was not an exaggeration at all. After all, this was the world of Haikyuu!!. Any achievement that could be successfully reached here would inevitably be connected to volleyball. If nothing unexpected happened next, whoever won Spring High would definitely receive invitations from top volleyball clubs all over the world.
Becoming a world-class player would be something that could happen in the blink of an eye.
"Aoba Johsai's entrance lineup! Outside hitter—Hank!"
Amid the discussions of everyone around him, Hank, who was wearing jersey number twenty-three, slowly stood up from the bench. When he began walking onto the court under everyone's gaze, the surrounding crowd immediately erupted into an uproar. Almost everyone focused their eyes on Hank.
Many people's faces were filled with anticipation and respect. In a sense, Aoba Johsai's undisputed strongest ace and absolute core undoubtedly belonged to Hank. Without his existence, Aoba Johsai might only have been considered a third-rate team.
They might not even have made it out of Miyagi Prefecture, let alone entered the Spring High finals. But reality was just that incredible. Because of Hank's power alone, a team that originally might not even have been qualified to earn a ticket through the Spring High preliminaries had reached this place.
They had come here, defeated the overwhelming majority of their opponents, beaten them one by one, and finally arrived at the Spring High finals. A person with this kind of strength was undoubtedly one of the strongest aces at present.
In the future, he might even become the existence that leads all ace spikers in world volleyball.
"So that's Hank from Aoba Johsai. He looks so young, but that height and those tendons are like monster-level athletic talent. Even if he didn't play volleyball, he would definitely become a world-class athlete, right?"
"I can already see it. Aoba Johsai reaching this point is closely tied to Hank. If he weren't there, Aoba Johsai would never have made it here. I don't think anyone would doubt that."
"Hank is currently the undisputed ace of the strongest team. More than once, he has led Aoba Johsai out of desperate situations!"
