This was entirely because the talent Hank had displayed was simply too terrifying. In such a short time, he had created miracles again and again. For something like this to happen on the volleyball court, it was hard not to make others feel like breaking down.
It was nothing short of a miracle. But they had to admit that throughout Aoba Johsai's journey, Hank absolutely deserved the greatest credit.
"This guy is a monster. Not only is his physical talent that terrifying, even his volleyball techniques are flawless."
"It's almost like he was born for volleyball."
Atsumu looked at Hank standing before him, and a trace of fear flashed through his eyes. To be honest, he had seen many talented players before, but he had never seen anyone like Hank.
It was not just that Hank was unbelievably strong. He could actually lead a team to victory all on his own.
He was far stronger than the Ushijima from back then. Even someone as strong as Wakatoshi Ushijima still had to rely on a setter. He still had to rely on his team.
But the Hank in front of him was different. Even if Hank were placed on a lower-tier volleyball team, he probably would not show any decline at all.
He was simply too terrifying.
Bang!
A huge impact rang out. Hank was still leaping high above the net as he watched the volleyball land inside Inarizaki's court. Everyone in the spectator stands could not help standing up from their seats. Many of their eyes were filled with disbelief.
It was as if they had just witnessed something impossible.
At that moment, when everyone on Aoba Johsai's side saw the ball land and heard the referee make the call, they all ran toward Hank. Their eyes were filled with intense excitement.
Finally.
After four hard-fought sets, they had finally won this match.
It had truly not been easy. Something many of them had never dared imagine had finally settled into reality the moment that ball landed.
Now, they had truly made their mark at Spring High and reached the quarterfinals. As long as they could defeat two more powerful teams, they would go straight to the finals.
No matter what their final result was, they would become a hot topic throughout Japan.
Some of their players might even have the chance to enter the Japan Youth training camp again.
"That's amazing!"
After seeing that they had successfully won this match, Oikawa could not help throwing his head back and shouting. To be honest, the match against Inarizaki was no less intense than their match against Shiratorizawa back then.
However, many of them had grown stronger, which was why this match only seemed similar to their battle against Shiratorizawa.
In reality, the difference between those two teams was enormous.
Inarizaki was stronger than Shiratorizawa. After all, Shiratorizawa was only at the level of a Spring High semifinalist.
Inarizaki, on the other hand, was one of the championship contenders.
The difference in strength between the two teams was not small at all. Yet they had actually defeated Inarizaki here. For many of them, it was something almost impossible to believe.
Fortunately, it was over now.
They had successfully defeated Inarizaki.
They had successfully entered the quarterfinals.
"They actually won... It feels a little like a dream..."
