After all, Ushijima had already successfully become a member of Japan's youth team. Even if he had failed to win the Spring High championship, he would definitely be able to step onto the national stage in the future. No one doubted that.
That meant Hank and Ushijima would definitely meet again someday. When that time came, they would surely meet at the very top, both of them in their strongest state.
At this very moment, Aoba Johsai, who had already successfully defeated Mujinazaka High, was gradually becoming known by the public. Almost everyone had learned about this newborn dark horse. To be honest, at first, hardly anyone thought they could achieve the final victory.
But now, it seemed they had already reached the very end of the tournament.
The final match of Spring High.
Their journey here had been full of challenges. But what deserved praise was that, in the end, they had endured every one of them.
The result was good.
At this moment, inside Itachiyama Institute, the players who had already learned that Aoba Johsai had entered the finals all began to show changes in their expressions. They had not expected that those people would really be able to reach the final match.
The first problem they needed to consider now was how to deal with them. After all, from the current situation, even though Aoba Johsai was nothing compared to them, the fact that they had made it this far meant they definitely had something.
"I didn't expect those guys to really make it to the end. But unfortunately, this is as far as they go. What waits for them next is defeat!"
"No one can beat us!"
A player from Itachiyama Institute said this. Ever since they entered Spring High, they had advanced all the way with the strongest momentum. It could be said that very few people were capable of standing against them. They had defeated countless opponents along the way.
No one could deny that.
"Exactly. So what if Aoba Johsai is this year's dark horse? They can't compare to us at all!"
"The future might belong to Aoba Johsai, but with us here, Aoba Johsai has no future!"
"This is the absolute gap between us!"
"The match hasn't even officially started yet, and they're already getting worked up."
Standing off to the side, Kiyoomi Sakusa spoke somewhat unnaturally. He found the atmosphere a little hard to accept. To be honest, this was also his first time encountering something like this. What waited for Aoba Johsai next was being settled by them. From the current situation, although the other side had successfully obtained their ticket to the finals, to Itachiyama, it only meant Aoba Johsai had met them ahead of schedule.
In the future, they would still lose when they were supposed to lose.
This point could not be changed at all.
"Aoba Johsai... isn't frightening. What's frightening is their ace. As long as we can deal with Hank... that will be enough."
