Being able to switch freely between the left and right hand for spikes—looking across all of Japan, there might not be anyone else capable of doing something like that.
"Aoba Johsai's ace, Hank, really is extraordinary... From now on, he might have to be included in the race for the top three aces in the nation."
"You can tell that a lot of people have already started analyzing Hank specifically. He's the second super ace to come out of Miyagi Prefecture... Unless something unexpected happens, he'll replace Wakatoshi Ushijima..."
"I never thought two super aces would appear from the same prefecture... That's unbelievable."
The fans watching from the stands immediately became extremely interested in Hank after seeing the spike he had just unleashed. After all, in a volleyball match, they were still willing to see a match with great spectacle, and right now, the feeling Hank gave them was exactly that—extremely entertaining.
As long as both teams fought a little more fiercely from here on, it would be enough to set the entire arena ablaze. Every one of them was looking forward to Aoba Johsai's explosion next.
There was no need to question Inarizaki's strength, but they still wanted to see whether Aoba Johsai's strength could reach a level that excited them. What they wanted to see next was Aoba Johsai's entire team clashing with Inarizaki's entire team at full power.
Not this current stage, where both teams were still testing each other.
"Being able to spike with both the left and right hand... This really is something that needs serious attention."
After Yaku saw that Hank could use both hands to spike, his opinion of Hank rose even further. For an ace of this level, that was definitely a talent that could overwhelm others, and he was even able to reach that level of chemistry with his own setter.
In the future, Hank would absolutely be able to go even further. At the very least, there was no doubt he could reach the level of an official youth national team player.
After all, there wasn't a single team that wouldn't want a super ace like Hank. Someone who could handle blocking and killing the ball all by himself was absolutely a player capable of carrying a major responsibility.
"As expected, this guy is really interesting!"
Bokuto had also seen Hank's left-and-right-handed spiking technique, and his eyes were filled with excitement. He was already starting to feel like he couldn't wait to play against Hank. Who would see an opponent like this and not feel thrilled? He was definitely the kind of opponent worth going all out against.
"Someone who needs to be studied closely."
Kiryū leaned against the railing, his expression full of seriousness. Hank's strength was already completely on par with any of the nation's top three aces. In fact, when it came to blocking, his talent absolutely surpassed all three of them.
It was clear...
This time, Japan's volleyball world was about to change. With Hank entering the scene, the court would become even livelier from here on.
"So weak."
Osamu looked at Atsumu, who had already returned from the service line, and couldn't help mocking him. He hadn't expected Atsumu's two serves to be figured out and countered so quickly. It seemed that compared to a true genius, they still needed to take things more seriously.
Now, they had to show a little of their real strength.
