At this very moment, because Aoba Johsai had already successfully advanced, the remaining teams fighting for the top four were also still battling. With Fukurōdani Academy's early exit, the final lineup for the semifinals was rapidly taking shape.
It could roughly be seen that Aoba Johsai would not meet Itachiyama Institute ahead of time. This basically meant that it could be predicted that Aoba Johsai would continue surging forward and reach the final match. Hank was naturally very satisfied with this result.
After all, being able to reduce even a little pressure was a good thing. If he could smoothly reach the final, then he would successfully awaken the Points Shop.
At that time, even if they ran into Itachiyama Institute in the final, there would still be room to maneuver. Hank was extremely looking forward to that.
As long as he could successfully unlock the Points Shop before the final, then he would absolutely be able to challenge for the championship. Even against Itachiyama Institute, he could defeat them. But before that, he still had to max out the chemistry between himself and every player on Aoba Johsai.
That way, Aoba Johsai's overall strength would continue to rise. Aside from that, he truly had no other unnecessary thoughts.
After all, judging from the current situation, Aoba Johsai's overall strength still could not compare to Itachiyama Institute. Fortunately, Hank still had the King of Volleyball System, so there was no need to be too anxious. He only needed to slowly wait for the final moment to arrive.
…
At this very moment, after witnessing the battle between Aoba Johsai and Fukurōdani Academy, all the people who had previously thought Hank was merely a rookie now had expressions of shock on their faces. To be honest, when they had seen Aoba Johsai crush Inarizaki, they had already begun to feel shocked.
And now, Aoba Johsai had actually crushed Fukurōdani Academy in overwhelming fashion. In an instant, these people began to regard Hank as a major enemy they would have to face next.
After all, Hank was only a first-year. By the time he graduated from high school, he could still participate in at least five more Spring High tournaments. The current Aoba Johsai was simply the uncrowned king of Miyagi Prefecture. If any other team wanted the chance to emerge from Miyagi Prefecture…
Then Hank would have to leave Aoba Johsai. Otherwise, the other teams would have no opportunity at all to break out from a place like that.
Without a doubt, Hank's strength was far too powerful. Judging from the current situation, Hank could absolutely be called an undeniable genius. He could even be called the strongest ace in Japan right now.
Even Wakatoshi Ushijima could not compete with him.
"This guy really is a little stronger than Wakatoshi Ushijima… but only a little."
But the situation ahead was exactly like that. Even if he did not want to face it, there was simply nothing he could do.
"He really is strong…"
Motoya Komori and Yaku were practically inseparable. The two of them always moved together. Aside from the fact that their personalities matched fairly well, the bigger reason was that they were both from the same generation and were outstanding players in their respective positions.
