"How is that possible?! Even Inarizaki lost?!"
"This tournament is definitely going to go insane."
Sitting in the stands, Hoshiumi saw that Hank had truly managed to defeat Inarizaki, and his expression immediately grew excited.
Speaking of which, he had never seen an ace like this before. Hank had actually led an entire team to victory by himself!
It was simply too astonishing. Everyone who witnessed this scene felt thoroughly shocked.
"Being able to defeat Inarizaki is no different from going straight into the finals."
After seeing that he had successfully defeated Inarizaki, Hank could not help smiling.
He knew that in the world of Haikyu!!, Inarizaki's level and strength were extremely high. In the original story, they had even finished as the runner-up.
Although they had fallen to Itachiyama Institute, that alone showed just how powerful they were.
And now, they had already defeated the runner-up team from the original story, one of the strongest candidates for the championship.
As long as they did not run into Itachiyama Institute next, they could practically sweep straight through.
As long as nothing major happened within his team, they basically would not lose.
It was entirely possible for them to charge all the way into the finals.
"Ding-dong! Detected that the host has successfully defeated the original Inter-High runner-up. Reward granted: Complete Mastery of Volleyball Footwork!"
"Ding-dong! Detected that the host and Inarizaki have gone through an exhilarating battle. Strength +9, Spiking +12, Ball Control +7, Passing +8!"
...
After Hank successfully defeated Inarizaki, system notifications immediately rang in his ears, informing him of the rewards he had just obtained.
Aside from the large amount of attribute points, what surprised Hank the most was that he had actually obtained almost every footwork technique used on the volleyball court in one go.
And it was complete mastery!
This meant that Hank had instantly mastered all volleyball footwork and integrated it completely.
As expected, having the system was absurd.
Logically speaking, perfectly mastering all volleyball footwork required the foundation of a world-class player.
But now, it had actually been handed directly to him.
It was simply unbelievable.
To be honest, although Hank had already expected something like this, hearing the news still made him feel that it was hard to believe.
After all, this was complete mastery of all footwork!
When applied in any match from now on, it could improve his entire body's performance. His originally rough volleyball techniques had instantly become polished to perfection.
"It feels like I mastered all volleyball footwork in an instant. From now on, I'll be even more at ease on the court."
Hank was extremely satisfied with this system reward.
For a team's ace, the thing he had to do was constantly move around the court.
Whether it was to confuse the opponent or to assist his teammates in launching an attack, it was all extremely important.
"Not only that, my four-dimensional stats have improved again. Ever since I reached national-team level, every single point increase feels like it brings an enormous gain."
"These improvements aren't only technical improvements. What matters even more is the experience being passed into me."
Hank was shocked to discover that because of the attribute points granted by the system, a huge amount of experience related to volleyball, spiking, passing, and ball control had appeared in his mind.
This experience would allow him to handle all kinds of situations from now on and play the ball closer to the level he wanted.
This feeling gave him a thought.
It was as if the player and the ball had become one.
Complete mastery.
