After all, judging from their current momentum, Aoba Johsai ht into the finals. At that point, Aoba Johsai would truly become a powerhouse within Miyagi Prefecture, one that even Shiratorizawa would no longer be able to match.
This was not them bragging. It was simply the reality of the current situation. If Aoba Johsai successfully reached the finals, then they would undoubtedly cement their name as a powerhouse. At that time, the level of Aoba Johsai's team would rise tremendously.
They might even become the number one team in Miyagi Prefecture. That was absolutely something that could happen!
...
At this moment, after the Spring High's final four had been decided, Mujinazaka High, the team that would face Aoba Johsai in the semifinals, had already begun paying close attention to them. After all, their next match would be against Aoba Johsai.
Their hearts were filled with a certain unease. A team like that had suddenly appeared as the dark horse of the current Spring High tournament. If things continued this way, Aoba Johsai might even break through them next!
Of course, that was only what they were thinking. Whether Aoba Johsai truly had the strength to fight them would still depend on the upcoming match.
After all, no one would firmly believe that Aoba Johsai could continue creating miracles and even defeat Mujinazaka High. Their team had Wakatsu Kiryū, one of Japan's top three aces!
As a team, Mujinazaka High was not weak at all. They could even be considered an absolute powerhouse.
"Next is our match against Aoba Johsai… I didn't expect it to come so soon. But one thing is clear. They're definitely the dark horse of this Spring High. They came all the way from the top sixteen to the semifinals."
"And the teams they defeated were all strong teams…"
Someone from Mujinazaka High's team spoke up. They were very familiar with the current Aoba Johsai. It could even be said that they had watched every one of their matches. After all, they were also very interested in Hank, the first-year who had successfully entered the Japan Youth Training Camp.
But from what they had seen so far, Hank's strength had definitely far exceeded everyone's expectations. Not only was he incredibly strong himself, he could even elevate his entire team.
Naturally, a player like that left them deeply shocked.
At this point, they could be considered worthy opponents.
"But as far as Aoba Johsai as a whole is concerned, I'm more interested in that Hank. He can actually lead a team by himself and win this many matches!"
Wakatsu Kiryū spoke calmly. It was clear that many members of the team had begun to view Aoba Johsai in a new light, but to him, the only person in all of Aoba Johsai who was worth noticing was Hank.
Of course, even to him, Hank was merely worth noticing.
Whether Hank could continue creating miracles in the upcoming match and defeat the team led by him was still completely unknown.
As things stood now, very few people truly believed Aoba Johsai could do it.
