They might even be eliminated before they ever managed to defeat Inarizaki. On this point, almost no one believed Aoba Johsai could beat Inarizaki. After all, Inarizaki's overall strength was right there for everyone to see. An ordinary team simply could not match up against them.
Thinking of that, Yaku immediately began to feel anticipation rising inside him. Maybe Hank would reveal even more volleyball techniques next. If that happened, he would be able to gather even more information about him.
Then, if he had the chance to face Hank in a match in the future, he could use that opportunity to defeat him faster.
"Huh!? Why is his blocking this strong too!?"
When Kōrai Hoshiumi saw that Hank could even handle front-row blocking, confusion immediately flashed through his eyes.
How did this guy know how to do everything!?
It was simply unbelievable. Anyone who saw the scene in front of them would be stunned.
Why did Hank know every technique!?
And from the look of it, he could play any position well.
"Predictive blocking… and that monster-like power. There really is a reason he was selected as a candidate for the National Youth Team."
"…"
After seeing Hank's performance, Bokuto's eyes also flashed with interest.
Looking at it this way, Hank really did seem to be the ace who had shown the strongest ability so far.
Leaving aside Yaku and Wakatsu Kiryū, who had yet to display their strength, Hank was indeed the strongest ace on display right now.
He was practically an all-around ace.
"He really is troublesome… Looks like Hank isn't as simple as he seems."
Helplessness flashed through Atsumu's eyes.
At this point, it seemed he had to show a little of his real ability. Otherwise, Hank might ride this momentum and directly take the set.
After all, from the current situation, Aoba Johsai's score was still ahead of Inarizaki's.
In terms of strength, Inarizaki was still stronger. But right now, under Hank's explosive performance, Aoba Johsai had a chance to take this match.
"Give us a good serve, Atsumu!"
As the referee's whistle sounded, Atsumu stood on the service line and slightly closed his eyes.
Amid the music from the club behind him, he looked like a conductor leading a wind ensemble. Then, all of a sudden, his hands clenched tightly.
The symphony beside his ears also came to an abrupt stop at that instant.
"I really should get a little serious."
Atsumu's eyes returned to indifference. He raised his hands slightly.
This time, he did not use a jump float serve. Instead, he stood on the service line and took a normal serving posture.
He stood there motionless, like an exquisitely carved sculpture.
The sound of the serve rang out.
At the same time, the serve Atsumu struck instantly arrived in front of Kindaichi in the back row.
It smashed into the floor right beside his foot.
Only when the referee's whistle sounded again did Kindaichi snap awake as if from a dream.
He realized that Atsumu's serve had already scored.
And he had not reacted at all.
An ordinary person simply could not react to it.
"His serve just now was too fast… How did he do that!? It was like it appeared right in front of me in an instant…"
Kindaichi's eyes were filled with shock.
He had not even had time to react to that serve.
It was simply absurd.
