Because of that, he was very grateful to Hank. It was only because Hank had appeared that he had truly begun walking the path toward realizing his dream. All of this had to be credited to Hank. Without him, Aoba Johsai High would never have made it this far.
"Tomorrow is Spring High. Time really has passed quickly, but what's worth paying attention to is that my strength has improved quite a bit during this period too."
"At the very least, I haven't slackened at all over this past month."
Hank glanced at the members of Aoba Johsai High before him, anticipation flashing through his eyes. Next was the Spring High he had been looking forward to for so long. As long as he could successfully get through Spring High, he would use this opportunity to step directly onto the world's top stage.
At that point, he would become the volleyball player everyone thought of first.
"Open my personal information panel."
Hank silently opened his current personal information panel and began checking it. After training for so long, he had gone step by step from a boy who was merely interested in volleyball to where he was now.
It could be said that he had already gone through quite a long journey and walked quite a distance.

Ball Control: 70 (National Youth Team Level)

...
Looking at the data panel that had appeared before him, excitement flashed through Hank's eyes. It looked like things were just as he had expected. He had actually gained this much improvement. His four core attributes had once again risen by almost thirty points overall, and his synergy with Aoba Johsai High's players had also increased quite a bit.
It looked like he would soon be able to obtain another Technique Upgrade Card.
Thinking of this, Hank's heart immediately filled with excitement.
He was very clear about the effects of Predictive Blocking. If nothing unexpected happened, he would soon be able to upgrade one of his current skills again. When that time came, his strength would continue to rise.
By then, even if he stood on the court alone, he would probably be able to bring a considerable amount of pressure.
This was not Hank talking nonsense. It was the confidence his current strength gave him.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would soon be able to step into the ranks of the world's strongest players.
"I wonder what kind of improvement it will bring."
Hank knew that although every stage looked as if it was only separated by a few points of data, the actual difference was enormous when compared directly. Although he was now only four points away from moving from the National Youth Team level to the next stage, there was still quite a gap between him and the national team.
It could even be said that the gap was not small at all. After all, the national team was not only about improvement in volleyball skills. More importantly, it was about control.
