After all, the most necessary improvement right now was raising the team's chemistry. That way, even after they entered Spring High, they would be able to go farther. If he could max out his chemistry with every member of Aoba Johsai, then Aoba Johsai would be able to rise to an even higher level.
Even if they had only just broken out of Miyagi Prefecture, they could keep moving toward the world stage.
There was nothing else to say about it. If they wanted to truly win the final Spring High championship, they had to raise the team's overall strength. Other than that, there was no other way. After all, volleyball was a team sport. Trying to win the championship through any other method was basically impossible.
…
During the month before Spring High was about to begin, Hank had been constantly polishing his own techniques while also building chemistry with everyone in Aoba Johsai, striving to raise their proficiency before they truly entered Spring High.
By doing this, they could genuinely raise the team's strength to a certain level before the real tournament began.
Although one month did not sound very long, it still brought Hank quite a lot of improvement. His personal stats panel, which had already been balanced, had also improved considerably. As for his volleyball techniques, they had been refined through a great deal of coordination practice.
Now, even if they encountered stronger opponents, he would be able to raise his strength by cooperating with his teammates.
"Next is Spring High. Once the tournament officially begins, we'll have stepped onto the national stage. I hope we can go a little farther."
"I hope we don't let down all the effort we put in before this."
Iwaizumi looked at Hank, his eyes filled with respect. During this period, they had already gone through a long stretch of training. But without Hank's appearance, they would actually have remained stuck in the same place.
They might not even have been able to make it out of Miyagi Prefecture, let alone step onto the national stage now.
Hank's appearance had brought hope to all of them. They were naturally very clear about that. That was why they would do the same from here on out: they would continue supporting Hank and push him onto an even higher stage.
"A national tournament… I never thought we'd be able to take part in an event like this."
Kindaichi felt that it was somewhat unbelievable. He had clearly only just come to Aoba Johsai. He was in the same year as Hank, and not long ago, he had even been beaten badly by him in a match. But after they entered the same club…
Only then did the two of them realize just how powerful Hank truly was. He could actually lead an entire club to the national stage by himself.
For that, they were naturally extremely grateful.
He was not the only one who thought this way. The vast majority of the club thought the same. Because Hank had joined, their overall strength had improved enormously.
"Let's work hard together. Tomorrow is Spring High. The dream we've worked so long for can finally come true at this moment."
Oikawa glanced at Hank beside him, his heart already burning with intense fighting spirit. Next up was Spring High, the tournament he had always dreamed of entering. For this day, he had worked hard for six years, and now, in the final year of his prime, he had finally made it happen.
