"Kojiro actually dodged it?"
Inside the Spain Team building, Oozora Tsubasa stared at the scene on the screen in surprise.
Hyuga Kojiro's greatest trait was his reckless drive. No matter what kind of attack he faced, he would fight with all his might to stop it.
But just now, Oozora Tsubasa had clearly seen Hyuga Kojiro dodge!

His body, which had leaped high
