...
Time passed quickly. After the matchups leading into the semifinals were officially announced, Aoba Johsai was ultimately placed against Mujinazaka High. Their next match would be played against them.
Although the match schedule was extremely tight, with the atmosphere of the Spring High finals now so close, that kind of pressure no longer felt like a problem. On the contrary, it motivated the players of both teams even more as they faced the next match.
After all, judging from the current situation, if Aoba Johsai wanted to reach the finals, they had to defeat the veteran powerhouse, Mujinazaka High. This team's strength was not inferior to any team they had faced before. In fact, in terms of attacking power…
They were even stronger.
"I didn't expect there to be this many spectators for the semifinals… It feels like the stands are already full!"
"They're completely packed!"
After Aoba Johsai had already stepped onto the court, everyone seated nearby turned their attention toward them. Many of them were fans who had followed Aoba Johsai all the way here, and even more were members of volleyball clubs. Now, Aoba Johsai had already reached the semifinals.
They were only one step away from entering the Spring High finals, so countless people were looking forward to this match. They all wanted to see whether Aoba Johsai could create another miracle.
If they could, then Aoba Johsai would enter the Spring High finals for the first time in the history of the team.
If that happened, then this generation of Aoba Johsai players would truly have created a miracle.
"I can't believe we made it all the way here…"
Toru Oikawa looked at all the fans seated nearby, and a smile appeared on his face. He had waited far too long for a stage like this. Originally, he had never had a chance to appear on a stage like this at all, but after Hank joined the team…
Everything began to change.
They defeated the powerhouse Shiratorizawa. After that, they came straight to the Spring High, to this national-level stage.
They defeated the strongest championship favorite, then made it all the way to the semifinals. Now, they were only one step away from the final match.
For Toru Oikawa, who had always looked forward to such a scene, this was almost like something from a dream.
"It's our turn to go on."
Hank gave a quiet reminder, then led every member of Aoba Johsai onto the court. After these past few matches, without even realizing it, all of Aoba Johsai's players had already started treating Hank as their leader. They had begun to follow him from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, judging from the current situation, almost all of Aoba Johsai's strength came from Hank. Without him, they never would have had the chance to reach a stage like this.
And because of the plays he had shown during this period, a team like theirs had even gained the possibility of reaching the final match.
To them, that was undoubtedly a tremendous success.
