"Right-handed spike!?"
When Satori Tendō saw that Hank had chosen to spike with his right hand this time, he seemed to realize it before anyone else. He went straight to the spot where Hank was about to spike and immediately began blocking. After all, the situation had already become a true contest of strength between both sides.
There was no way either side could relax even slightly.
Realizing that Tendō had already guessed his true intention, Hank made a split-second judgment in midair. He actually changed his move while suspended in the air, shifting his spiking form directly into a tip.
When they saw him change his attack at the last second, Tendō and the others' expressions changed sharply. The entire court immediately started moving.
But in the end, there was still nothing they could do. They could only watch as the ball landed on the floor.
"It looks like Hank doesn't only have spiking technique. He also has an extremely strong tipping technique."
"As expected of Aoba Johsai's strongest ace in history."
"This is what an ace is capable of. Although volleyball doesn't require too much individual heroism, the appearance of an ace undoubtedly creates turning points."
Many people had already realized how terrifying Hank was. In terms of strength, he truly was frightening. Unless something unexpected happened, Hank would definitely become the strongest ace Aoba Johsai had ever had.
Without exception.
However, just as many people believed that the balance of victory in this match was beginning to tilt toward Aoba Johsai, they suddenly saw Wakatoshi Ushijima, who had not shown overwhelming pressure all this time, suddenly begin to exert himself at that moment.
Ever since losing the previous set to Aoba Johsai, Ushijima, who originally had not cared much about Hank, suddenly felt his fighting spirit ignite.
Now, he wanted very much to defeat Aoba Johsai. So next, he would no longer play casually. He would take the rest of the match seriously!
Boom!
The spike he had just struck distorted terrifyingly in midair, then smashed directly into Aoba Johsai's court.
Without any surprise, the ball flew straight off Aoba Johsai's side of the court and finally landed in the audience stands. This sudden burst of power made the Shiratorizawa players, who had been silently enduring until now, reveal smiles at the same time.
They knew that Wakatoshi Ushijima was ready to get serious.
Japan's homegrown cannon had awakened!
"As expected of Wakatoshi Ushijima. The force behind that spike just now was probably enough to knock someone unconscious. He's simply a monster!"
"This match is probably going to be dangerous."
The veteran fans watching nearby now understood that Wakatoshi Ushijima had already found a way to break through. Even if Aoba Johsai had luckily won the previous set, they still would not be able to deal with Shiratorizawa from here on.
After all, Wakatoshi Ushijima himself was a super ace!
He had not played seriously in the previous set. But now, because of what happened there, he had fully awakened. Unless something unexpected happened, this match was about to fall under his control.
