33 Kanto Tournament Again

Morikawa felt that Su Qing's aura had suddenly changed. Before, Su Qing had stood in the batter's box very casually, without any desire to win or lose. He was completely different from Inajitsu's other batters. The other batters from Inajitsu, even if they were leading by a large margin, still wanted to get a hit and actively swung the bat.

But Su Qing gave Morikawa the feeling that he wasn't active at all. In the first pitch just now, Su Qing's body and bat didn't move at all. Only his eyes were moving, and the second pitch took a long time before he swung.

However, Su Qing's swing speed was indeed very fast. The ball had just fallen for a moment, and Su Qing's bat had already reached a position parallel to the ball, faster than any batter he had ever seen.

If Su Qing before had been restrained, only releasing his aura at the moment of swinging, then the current Su Qing was completely releasing his aura, his presence exploding!

Kobayashi was still immersed in the joy of making Su Qing swing and miss. In addition, he was a little far away from Su Qing, so he didn't feel the aura suddenly burning on Su Qing's body. He only felt that Su Qing's eyes had suddenly become a little colder.

Kobayashi looked at Morikawa, but Morikawa didn't give a signal for a long time, which made him very puzzled. Then he saw Morikawa stand up and ask the referee for a timeout, which left Kobayashi full of question marks. He was so nervous just now that Morikawa didn't call a timeout, but now that he had completely let go, he called a timeout instead?

Morikawa's purpose in calling a timeout was to interrupt Su Qing's momentum. This was Morikawa's experience as a catcher over the years when facing strong batters. Once he felt this kind of momentum, it meant that the batter had entered a serious stage. If he continued to pitch without regard, there was a high probability that he would be blasted out!

So Morikawa quickly called a timeout, but he didn't tell Kobayashi about Su Qing's rampage. Because Kobayashi was a very timid pitcher, once he told him, his hard-won morale would probably fall back down, and it would be difficult to deal with even if Su Qing's momentum was gone.

Morikawa exchanged a few words with Kobayashi about what kind of ball he should throw next, and then walked off the pitcher's mound.

After returning to his position behind home plate, Morikawa found that Su Qing's momentum had not dissipated because of his sudden timeout. It was still frightening.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. There was only one last out, and he had to fight for it no matter what. Walking him was impossible. At worst, he would ignore Su Qing and directly focus on home plate. So this pitch must not be a home run!

Morikawa signaled, and Kobayashi nodded directly this time without hesitation and threw the ball.

Waiting to catch the ball, Morikawa noticed that Su Qing's left foot suddenly stepped forward, and his whole body moved along with it.

Morikawa's whole body tensed up. He had a premonition that this ball would be hit! How could it be! The ball he called for was clearly a bad ball!

Su Qing seemed to see his doubts, and said when the bat was about to touch the baseball:

"Too low."

"Bang!"

The baseball soared into the sky once again. This scene was like something he had seen before. Morikawa took off his mask and stood up directly, while Kobayashi turned around and bent over, watching the outfielders chase the flying baseball, which was eventually stopped by the fence.

And Su Qing, who had done all this, threw the bat away and winked at Narumiya Mei, who was still standing outside the dugout (｀▽), before jogging out. At this time, Su Qing couldn't care about provocation or not. They were the ones who provoked first, and he was just returning the favor.

After returning to the dugout, Su Qing pulled the unwilling Narumiya Mei to celebrate before sitting down.

As soon as he sat down and took a few sips of water, Su Qing had to go on the field again.

Yamaoka Riku was not helpful and was directly caught out.

After getting the last out, Kobayashi wasn't happy at all. With the comfort of the catcher and his teammates, he returned to the dugout in disappointment.

But Su Qing was different. He ran to the pitcher's mound happily.

He could get off work after pitching this inning!

Was there anything more joyful than getting off work? No!

Unlike the happy Su Qing, the Shin Kō's Manager gathered all the batters together, and the atmosphere was very serious. He said that they had to get a point in this inning, because it was too embarrassing to be 16-0! At least they were the runners-up of the Saitama Autumn Tournament. If the game ended with this score, they would definitely be scolded by the villagers when they went back.

But the ideal was very full, and the reality was very skinny. Su Qing once again got three strikeouts with 9 pitches and clocked out of work. Until the end, none of the Shin Kō's batters kept up with Su Qing's ball speed, let alone hit it.

So Fujita became the real winner of the whole game for Shin Kō, the only batter who wasn't struck out by Su Qing.

After getting the last strikeout, Su Qing wanted to go back and pack his things, but Harada grabbed him.

Su Qing was pulled to the very front of the team. This time, Su Qing didn't embarrass himself. After the air raid siren sounded, he obediently took off his hat and bowed.

"Thank you for the guidance!"

The Shin Kō players' faces were a bit unsightly, but in the end, their skills were inferior, so there wasn't much to say. Moreover, the Kanto Tournament wasn't the Summer Tournament after all. Soon, the Shin Kō players cheerfully started chatting with the Inajitsu players. Only Su Qing and Narumiya Mei were left out.

After all, Su Qing and Narumiya Mei had thoroughly dominated all of Shin Kō's batters. Who would come up and talk to them? That would just be asking for trouble.

After a short exchange, both sides withdrew. After all, someone else would be using the field soon, and they couldn't delay too much.

After Su Qing went back to pack his luggage, he approached Inajitsu's manager and Coach.

"What's up? Is there something you need?"

I was just about to look for him, and Su Qing came to my door himself. Coach Kunimoto thought. I can take advantage of the players packing their luggage to have a chat.

"I want to go outside the field to pick up the ball I hit earlier. After all, it was the ball from my first high school at-bat that resulted in a home run, and I want to keep it as a souvenir."

"I see. I'll have someone go with you."

Coach Kunimoto wasn't an unreasonable person. He immediately agreed to Su Qing's idea of picking up the baseball and called Yamagami to accompany Su Qing.

When Narumiya Mei heard this, he wanted to go too, so the group, which was originally just two people, quickly expanded to six. Narumiya Mei, Shirakawa, Harada, and Carlos all joined in.

Everyone handed their bags to teammates who weren't going, asking them to take them to the bus. Then, they accompanied Su Qing to find the ball. This left the reporters, who had specifically run to the Inajitsu bus to interview Su Qing and Narumiya Mei, empty-handed. They could only interview Coach Kunimoto.

But Coach Kunimoto was cunning and used his Tai Chi skills to great effect, making the reporters gnash their teeth in anger.
