A Spring High championship contender had actually been eliminated here by Aoba Johsai, a team that had only just entered Spring High. To be honest, many people would never have believed such a thing.
And yet, it had truly happened right before their eyes.
It was simply unbelievable.
Atsumu saw the volleyball land right beside his foot, and his expression immediately went blank. He had never expected that they would truly lose to Aoba Johsai in the end.
This had already gone far beyond his expectations. Anyone who saw this situation would be left stunned.
The mighty Inarizaki had actually been eliminated just after entering Spring High.
It was simply too unbelievable.
"What a shame."
Shinsuke Kita did not show much expression on his face, but sadness could be sensed in his eyes. It was as if he was desperately suppressing his emotions.
"Ah..."
Aran and Suna were still staring intently at Hank in front of them. They wanted to figure out exactly what kind of person he was, and why he could bring Aoba Johsai to this level all by himself.
It was truly unbelievable.
"I'm not seeing things, am I? Inarizaki really lost!? Does that mean Aoba Johsai is truly a dark horse!?"
"This is an upset, right? Can you believe Aoba Johsai actually defeated Inarizaki? Can you really believe something like this!?"
"This is unbelievable. I never imagined Aoba Johsai could defeat Inarizaki in the end!"
"Looks like another strong team is about to rise."
After seeing that Aoba Johsai had actually won, many people in the spectator stands could not help crying out in shock. After all, they knew exactly how strong Inarizaki was.
Every year, Inarizaki was almost guaranteed to reach the Spring High finals. But now, they had been stopped at the door by a newly appearing Aoba Johsai.
If this had not happened right before their eyes, perhaps no one would have believed it.
No one would have been able to believe it.
"I never thought they would actually defeat Inarizaki in the end..."
A shadow appeared across Kiyoomi Sakusa's face. This result was something he had never expected from the beginning.
After all, for Itachiyama Institute, their greatest rival had always been Inarizaki. Other than them, they had never really imagined facing another team.
But based on the match that had just unfolded before them, he could already predict that they might end up facing Aoba Johsai next.
As for which stage they would meet them in, he did not know.
However, based on Aoba Johsai's current performance, they should definitely be able to advance to the semifinals.
"I never thought Inarizaki would actually lose."
"This Hank is too strong."
Motoya Komori gave an awkward smile. To be honest, he had never seen an ace capable of reaching this level before. A team centered around only one core player had actually made Inarizaki struggle to respond.
If Aoba Johsai gained even one more attacking option, then they would probably become a first-rate team immediately.
There was no doubt about that.
"This Hank is interesting!"
"Extremely interesting!"
Bokuto's face was full of smiles. He felt that Hank suited his taste perfectly. If they could meet on the court next, he definitely wanted to properly test himself against him.
