"It's already been completely predicted. You lost from the very beginning!"
"…"
When Itachiyama Institute saw that Hank's method of attack had already been predicted ahead of time, they immediately felt relieved.
With things like this, there was a strong chance they could receive his spike.
After all, when the direction and position of a spike were predicted in advance, even a spike from someone like Hank would definitely be blocked.
No one would disagree with that.
However, just as Sakusa and the others in the front row had jumped in front of Hank and were preparing to block him, the scene before them instantly made them begin to doubt their own eyes.
Hank, who had originally been around the same height as them, now had more than half of his body above the net.
That terrifying jumping power even made the faces of Itachiyama Institute's three blockers show panic.
For a brief moment, they could not believe their own eyes.
It was simply too terrifying.
Boom!
A sound tore through the air.
Right in front of Itachiyama Institute's three blockers, Hank directly spiked the ball into the back row.
That sudden change was so abrupt that even Motoya Komori in the back row did not react in time.
He could not believe what he had just seen.
How could Hank's jumping talent be this terrifying?
More than half of his body had risen above the volleyball net. Who could possibly block him like that?
It was simply unbelievable.
"Whoa, did you guys see that just now!? Aoba Johsai's wing spiker actually jumped with more than half of his body above the net! Is that kind of jumping talent really human!?"
"I'm completely stunned. Is this the jumping talent of a top volleyball player!? I can't imagine such terrifying jumping ability actually exists."
"Even if he weren't a volleyball player, with that jumping ability, he could definitely become a world-class athlete. Who could do something like that!? This kid doesn't even seem human."
"That is top-tier jumping talent. Even on the world stage, that would definitely count as one of the very best talents!"
When the spectators in the stands saw the attack Aoba Johsai had just completed, they immediately could not sit still.
Their faces were filled with shock.
They had never imagined that by coming to the Spring High finals today, they would actually see one of the highest-level vertical jumps in the world.
Such terrifying physical ability was almost like that of a perfectly built athlete.
It was as if he had been born with the body of an athlete. No matter what sport he chose, he would definitely succeed.
That was not their exaggeration. It was simply the fact placed in front of them now.
The reason Aoba Johsai had been able to make it this far was inseparably tied to Hank.
It was even possible that without his joining, Aoba Johsai would not even have earned a ticket to Spring High.
"That guy's jump height seems to have increased again. I thought that, back during the Spring High preliminaries, he had already reached his limit."
"He really is a genius."
Wakatoshi Ushijima, who was sitting in the left-side spectator stands, also began to sigh in admiration.
They were both players from Miyagi Prefecture. In the future, they would inevitably have to face each other again.
