After all, only by defeating someone stronger would the future become more meaningful. Only then would standing on the highest stage in the world truly feel worthwhile.
No matter what he wanted to prove for his father, volleyball was still the dream he loved.
In order to go even farther in the future, he had to face a much larger world. Aside from that, he honestly did not have many other thoughts.
"The final is coming up soon. Don't you want to go watch it?"
"Ushijima."
At that moment, Tendō walked out. He wanted to see what Ushijima intended to do, because Tendō himself was preparing to go to the venue and see exactly how far Hank could go.
After all, judging from the current situation, no matter what the future looked like, from this moment onward, he might have no choice but to stay entangled with Hank. Aside from that, he already had no other thoughts.
From how things looked now, they would soon become destined rivals. After this final, regardless of whether Aoba Johsai won or lost, it would definitely bring about a huge turning point for them.
For Shiratorizawa, that would certainly be the worst possible result.
But for the current Aoba Johsai, there truly was a possibility of turning everything around again.
Judging from the present situation, Aoba Johsai's chances of making it all the way to the end in the future were not especially high.
They would most likely still have to compete together within Miyagi Prefecture. Facing that kind of situation, Tendō naturally felt a little nervous. Deep down, he still had many thoughts about Hank.
The pressure Hank brought would absolutely not lose to Ushijima's.
"I won't go. I believe he can make it to the end."
Ushijima wiped off his sweat with a towel, then stood up and said that.
For him, the current Aoba Johsai already counted as his powerful rival. Whether it was Hank or Toru Oikawa among them, both of those two were people he valued highly.
Now those two had gathered together and formed a team. For his own future, that would inevitably be an extremely important matter.
If nothing unexpected happened, it was even very possible that Shiratorizawa's entire team would be affected by them.
Thinking of that, Ushijima's expression immediately became serious.
Now, he had to continue working hard for the sake of his own team. Otherwise, they might not have another chance to stand on the Spring High court again.
That was what he thought.
"You really are the same as ever. When the time comes, I'll tell you the result of the match exactly as it happened."
Tendō curled his lips and smiled as he spoke.
He naturally understood what Ushijima was thinking. After all, he had been serving as Ushijima's middle blocker for such a long time. He could guess what Ushijima was thinking.
In that case, Ushijima's greatest rival had already appeared.
That rival was Hank.
From now on, the two of them would keep working hard because of each other. They might even change because of each other's existence.
That was exactly the kind of situation Tendō wanted to see.
