After all, Hank had trained with them for a long time. They knew each other fairly well, and now that he was about to enter the final match, allnother was look out for each other and hope that he could truly win the championship in the end.
Thinking of that, Tanaka felt a little better.
After all, what came next would be the test of whether Hank could truly accomplish something great.
As long as he could claim the final victory, then for them, it would also count as witnessing the birth of a genius. Many people were still looking forward to something like that. After all, judging from the current situation, things would keep changing for a long time to come.
But for the next three years, Aoba Johsai High would definitely become their greatest enemy within Miyagi Prefecture. In truth, many people felt utterly overwhelmed by that.
"Next, we can ask the teachers at school for permission to go to Tokyo and watch the final match."
"That would also make it easier for us to learn something."
Daichi made the suggestion now. For Aoba Johsai, the question of whether they could survive smoothly from here on out depended on whether they could defeat the powerful Itachiyama Institute. That was the problem they had to consider next. Aside from that, there was nothing else left to think about.
At that thought, many of the people present began to fill with immense anticipation.
They had great trust in Aoba Johsai, and in Hank as well. They believed he would soon accomplish something great and change everything before their eyes.
...
On the other side, Shiratorizawa Academy, which had already finished its next round of training, also received the news that Hank had successfully reached the final match.
Their entire team felt very surprised. After all, reaching the Spring High final was something extremely rare even for Shiratorizawa.
Even since the founding of their high school program, they had only reached the Spring High quarterfinals.
But now, Aoba Johsai had only just entered Spring High, and they had already successfully reached the final. From that alone, it was clear that Aoba Johsai's strength was definitely far greater than it appeared on the surface. In some ways, they might even have already exceeded Shiratorizawa's expectations.
They took that point very seriously. If Aoba Johsai's strength rose even slightly again after this...
"I didn't expect him to make it this far. I hope he can take that final step. Since he's reached the final, he had better not be eliminated so easily."
Ushijima's thoughts were very simple. He wanted to see exactly how far Hank could go, and whether Hank could claim the final Spring High championship. He was somewhat looking forward to that.
After all, there had not been many people over the years who could put pressure on him.
Hank was the first among them.
He had truly defeated Ushijima in the same field.
The things Hank had done were handled even better than what Ushijima himself could manage. So whether as his former opponent or as a friend he had spent time with, Ushijima hoped Hank could win the final Spring High championship!
