The Itachiyama Institute they were facing now was definitely an incomparably terrifying opponent, one that might even directly lead to Aoba Johsai's defeat.
That point was extremely frightening. Anyone who had watched Hank's matches knew that every aspect of his strength could be called top-class. But now, against Itachiyama Institute, he might no longer be able to display his advantages. The reason for that was very simple.
It was because Itachiyama Institute's entire team was far too terrifying. Relying on Hank alone might not be enough to carry the burden.
"Two players from the national youth team! I didn't expect it to be like this."
"Is Itachiyama Institute really that strong?"
After Kageyama heard those words, his expression immediately began to change. He had not expected this at all. Their strength had completely overturned his understanding.
Who would not be shocked when faced with this situation? It was simply impossible to believe. After all, those were two national youth team players. Just Hank alone, as a national youth team player, had already made him feel tremendous pressure.
He had never expected that two of them would appear now. This kind of thing was truly impossible to imagine. It could even be said to be beyond comprehension.
They were existences that could hardly be described in words.
"How is that possible?! There's actually a team stronger than Aoba Johsai!?"
"There's always someone stronger."
Tanaka could no longer act confident now. Speaking of which, among the many volleyball players on the court, his strength could be said to be comparatively weak. Compared with Aoba Johsai, Karasuno could still talk big a little, but now that they had encountered Itachiyama Institute, he was completely out of his depth.
There was no way for him to imagine just how terrifying a team stronger than Aoba Johsai could be.
Nor could he imagine that this was actually a level of strength humans could reach. Could it be that they had maintained the strength to reach the Spring High finals for fourteen years?
It was simply abnormal.
"We just have to work hard together. Don't put pressure on yourselves!"
"No matter how frightening Itachiyama Institute is, are they really more frightening than the other teams we've fought? We'll face them together!"
Seeing that the teammates around him looked somewhat uneasy, Toru Oikawa immediately spoke up. They had finally managed to make it this far. They could not be casually crushed by an Itachiyama Institute that had suddenly appeared. To him, that was something he absolutely could not accept.
He had waited for this moment for so long. He had trained day and night to close the gap between himself and geniuses.
But now, he had encountered the even more talented Itachiyama Institute. Asking him to give up now was something he simply could not do. Judging from the current situation, if he had successfully made it into the final, then he had to give everything he had.
He had to cooperate with Hank with everything he had and defeat Itachiyama Institute!
"That's right. Everyone, let's give it our all together! So what if Itachiyama Institute is powerful? We aren't weak either!"
"Let's work hard together! Don't be afraid. Otherwise, the match will be lost in momentum before it even starts. That would be the worst thing we could do!"
