All sorts of equipment had been arranged, and even the overall match format had been set to the highest standard. It could be said that everything was extremely official.
At that moment, Aoba Johsai, having taken the subway to the finals venue, finally saw Shiratorizawa Academy, the team that had long reigned supreme over Miyagi Prefecture. They had all already changed into their uniforms and were preparing to take part in the upcoming final.
"So this is Shiratorizawa!? They really do look different from the players on other teams."
Kindaichi could not help speaking up. In his eyes, every single person in front of him from Shiratorizawa looked hard to deal with. They seemed far stronger than every team they had encountered before. It looked like the title of Miyagi Prefecture's champion was no exaggeration.
Their overall strength was truly outstanding.
"Looks like you're our next opponents."
"Come at us however you want. In the end, we'll crush all of you."
Suddenly, Tsutomu Goshiki walked out and shouted. His forehead tilted slightly upward, and his face was full of indifference. After all, in their eyes, the upcoming match was already basically a guaranteed victory.
For the current Shiratorizawa, as long as nothing unexpected happened, they would essentially be able to claim the final win.
Not only did they think that way, everyone in the entire venue thought the same.
Shiratorizawa was publicly recognized as the strongest team in Miyagi Prefecture. A mere Aoba Johsai was not worth taking seriously.
"There you go again. Always trying to show off in front of outsiders. What exactly are you thinking?"
Satori Tendō said lazily. Their match was about to begin. Speaking of which, although they all knew Shiratorizawa was currently the strongest team in Miyagi Prefecture, not a single one of them would excessively underestimate their opponent. Besides, their coach had also told them to pay special attention to Aoba Johsai's ace.
They were clearly a second-rate team, yet because of that player's appearance, the entire team's current state had been completely transformed. It could be called something truly terrifying.
And that person was Aoba Johsai's current ace, Hank.
"That should be Hank, right?"
When Tendō thought of Hank, he subconsciously began searching through the Aoba Johsai team in front of him. Very quickly, he saw Hank hidden among the crowd, not saying a single word, and his heart was immediately startled.
In that instant, he did not know why, but a chill suddenly ran through him.
But one thing was certain: the other party was absolutely Aoba Johsai's true soul. As long as he was there, he could bring a huge improvement to the team.
It could be said that he was definitely a genius.
But Hank was not the only genius in Miyagi Prefecture. His own teammate, Ushijima, was also a genius among geniuses!
"Save anything you want to say for when the match starts."
At that moment, Wakatoshi Ushijima, whose height had already reached over one meter ninety, walked directly out from the team. His expression was extremely firm. Although he did not make any action that looked down on others, he somehow gave people the feeling that he was very proud and did not take anyone from Aoba Johsai seriously.
After all, Shiratorizawa was a team that entered nationals every year. Wakatoshi Ushijima himself was even one of the strongest aces in all of Japan.
"Learn more from Ushijima if you want to become the team's ace. It's not that simple."
Satori Tendō patted Tsutomu Goshiki on the shoulder beside him and joked.
