The figure who had just appeared was someone Hank recognized with a single glance.
Atsumu Miya.
He had already met him during the National Youth training camp. Now that they were meeting again, both of them had already made their preparations.
Next, it would all come down to their strength on the court.
"It really has been a while. I didn't expect the next time we met would be on the court."
Hank looked at Atsumu in front of him, anticipation flashing in his eyes.
If he went head-to-head with Atsumu next, then no matter what the final result was, just looking at the outcome alone, Hank was definitely going to gain a large amount of four-dimensional attributes. Aside from that, he could also deepen his synergy with his own team.
Those points alone were enough to make Hank look forward to it.
The first thing they had to deal with next was Atsumu on the court. They could not allow him too many chances to serve.
"I didn't expect my first match to be against you guys. Are you ready?"
"From the looks of it, your teammates aren't ready at all."
Atsumu swept his gaze over Oikawa and the others, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.
To be honest, when it came to setters, there were not many people he would take seriously at all. After all, his long-standing strength and results had allowed him to look down on almost every setter.
Before Kageyama truly matured in the original story, Atsumu was practically an unstoppable existence.
When he worked together with the teammates on his own team, they almost never encountered opponents who could stop them. In fact, they had practically secured a steady place in Spring High every year. That kind of strength was in a tier of its own nationwide. There were simply not many teams that could compare to them.
"That brat—does he not know how to respect his seniors?"
Oikawa watched Atsumu stride past him with complete confidence, and immediately gritted his teeth in anger. This guy was simply far too arrogant.
Just from what he had said earlier, it was clear that he had never taken them seriously at all. Someone like that was practically looking down on everyone around him.
And on top of that, many people on their team were his seniors, yet he still dared to speak like that.
"He really is arrogant. He doesn't take you seriously at all."
Iwaizumi had a smile on his face. Oikawa had suffered a rare loss this time, but Iwaizumi understood Oikawa's personality very well.
He had a strong sense of pride.
In the upcoming match, Oikawa would definitely be completely focused. The opposing team probably had no idea what Toru Oikawa was truly capable of.
Although he could not exactly be called a genius, and although, even as a setter, he was not especially well known on the national stage...
"I'm absolutely going to make him regret that!"
After seeing that Atsumu had already walked inside, Oikawa's face was filled with anger.
He had not expected that this guy had actually come after him directly.
And Atsumu clearly looked down on Aoba Johsai.
After all, they had not made it to Spring High once in the past five years.
They were an incredibly unfamiliar face here. Before the match had even started, many people were already predicting their defeat. They believed Aoba Johsai had only beaten Shiratorizawa because Ushijima had been in poor condition.
Almost no one believed that they could defeat Inarizaki, a seeded team entering the tournament.
Hank had long since known that this kind of situation might appear next.
Even if everyone else refused to believe they could win, it would be enough as long as they themselves believed it.
