"These two seem to have changed somehow."
"I don't know exactly what changed, but the feeling really is strange."
"Something must have shifted."
Kenjiro could sense that the opposing setter seemed to have improved on the court. Whether it was his sets or any movement meant to support Hank, everything had become much more polished. It was clear that the two of them had already become the best possible partners.
He could even sense that some kind of variable might appear next.
"Flowers cannot bloom from barren soil. But they are not ordinary talents."
The purest thought began to form in Wakatoshi Ushijima's mind.
He had to crush Hank completely, without leaving him even the slightest room.
The moment that thought appeared, he unleashed his full strength. Right now, he had already focused every bit of his spirit, preparing to fight Hank head-on.
"I can't imagine what will happen next."
Ōhira's expression was also somewhat blank. As a volleyball player, he naturally understood what was about to happen. The teamwork between Oikawa and Hank would improve drastically, and they might even develop an offensive style that belonged specifically to the two of them.
"Hiss…"
After more than ten minutes of fierce battle, Aoba Johsai ultimately lost the second set to Shiratorizawa Academy, with a final score of 20–25.
It was obvious that the score was not good. Most of the people in the club instantly felt their hearts tighten, and they began to worry about the next set.
Even the Aoba Johsai team was in the same state. Many of them started worrying, since the overall match score had already become close.
Could they truly defeat their opponent from here on?
However, at that moment, Hank and Oikawa both looked a little dazed, as if they were recalling something.
"Reward: Left-Right Consecutive Spike Technique. The host can cooperate with Toru Oikawa, switching rapidly between left-handed and right-handed kill spikes within a short period of time. While organizing the offense, their speed will also increase dramatically!"
Just as Hank was recalling his cooperation with Oikawa, a notification suddenly sounded beside his ear. After clearly hearing the contents of the notification, Hank's expression immediately began to change.
His original confusion suddenly turned into surprise.
He had not expected his system to have this kind of function, allowing him to perform combination attacks with other players.
After all, right now, he could attack by switching back and forth between his left and right hands. That meant the opponent would have no way of realizing which direction he would launch his attack from next.
And more importantly, when using left-handed and right-handed kill spikes, both Oikawa's speed and his own speed would increase.
Although he still did not know exactly what level that speed would reach, one thing was certain.
It would absolutely be far faster than his normal approach, jump, and spike.
It might even be faster than Hinata's monster quick.
This was simply a perfect opportunity handed to him by fate.
It gave him a way to completely overturn the situation.
