Only now was he truly about to put his strength into it. Even if the opponent still had hidden trump cards they had yet to reveal, so what? The most important thing now was to take this set.
As long as they could win it, then no matter how much of his strength he exposed, Hank could accept it.
After all, to Hank, every volleyball technique he possessed was merely an ability granted to him by the system. For other players, a difficult volleyball technique might be extremely hard to learn, but for him, it was something he could master in an instant.
Because of that, Hank naturally did not feel the same urge as other players to hide his strength.
Since there was no way to truly take this set without doing more, he had to go all out.
Any technique could be brought out now.
At the very least, the technique he had originally planned to keep hidden until the next set could no longer wait.
The trajectory-changing spike!
It was Yaku's signature spiking method. By rapidly twisting the wrist and using that wrist movement, the ball's original path could become incredibly difficult to predict.
Hank had originally intended to save a technique like this until at least the second or third set before using it.
But now, Inarizaki's strength had indeed exceeded his expectations, so he had to use it ahead of time.
Otherwise, something unexpected might happen.
If this dragged on, it would waste a great deal of stamina from both teams.
And when it came to stamina, Aoba Johsai simply could not compare to Inarizaki.
That much had already been made clear in their previous match against Shiratorizawa.
So now, he had to seize the moment and use the volleyball technique he had just mastered to take this set.
They only needed to score two points in a row.
"My overall stats were originally only four attribute points away from reaching the next stage, national team level."
"After all this training, and after playing against Inarizaki just now, I've already earned those four attribute points."
"So it's only natural that I've mastered the trajectory-changing spike."
A huge amount of information about the trajectory-changing spike suddenly appeared in Hank's mind.
And because of the system's effect, his wrist abruptly became more flexible, as if he could now perform rotations that would normally be completely impossible.
This change made him extremely satisfied.
Just this alone was enough to bring about a major difference.
Now, he already possessed every ability needed to use the trajectory-changing spike.
All he needed to do was wait for Oikawa to send the ball to him.
As long as the ball reached his hand, then Hank had the confidence to completely take this match!
Thinking that, Hank immediately began preparing himself.
Next, all he needed to do was get ready and receive the opponent's serve.
Right now, Suna was the one serving for Inarizaki.
Although his serve was still quite threatening, compared to Atsumu's serve, it was much weaker.
All they needed to do next was wait patiently.
Aoba Johsai had basically already figured out this kind of serve, so it would not have much of an effect on them.
