July 19
"Sure enough, Sendou-san is so handsome!"
The day after the competition ended, the three girls Cheerleading Squad ran to the door of Class A and started talking.
"Sang?" One of the girls with black hair and eyes wondered why her friend used honorifics.
"Because..., and it looks so gentle!"
At this time, Sendou was accepting congratulations from his classmates. Sendou, who is popular and smiles, naturally makes people feel very warm.
After word spread about their victory in the second round, First Team player Baseball Club became a star in the school.
Not long after, Sendou suddenly wanted to go to the toilet and took the opportunity to get out. When the three girls found out, it was already too late to run away.
"What do you want? Or are you looking for someone? I can help you convey it!" Sendou suddenly came face to face with them. At first, he didn't think much about it, thinking they were looking for someone.
"No! No! No! That, that! The previous game..., well, congratulations on your first victory!" When they faced each other, they panicked. Finally, the black-haired girl wearing glasses said this in a hesitant voice.
"That's it! Thank you very much!... Huh? I remember you are members of the Cheerleading Squad club in our school, right? Thank you very much for your support! And please give me your advice in the future!" After knowing their purpose, Sendou smiled gently, and then he discovered that these three girls were Cheerleading Squad who were cheering on the stairs between the seats yesterday.
Of course Cheerleading Squad can't be just the three of them, but the others are sitting in the stands just like the others in Baseball Club, with just a few people standing on the steps in the middle.
Sendou I don't know if they work in shifts or if it's just the three of them, but it's not easy for these girls under the scorching July sun.
So thank you very much.
"I have to go to the toilet! I'm sorry to say that!" After saying Sendou gave a slight greeting and left.
The three of them were already so excited that they didn't know what to say because of their previous thanks to Sendou.
After all, as mentioned before, whether it is voice or ecology, it can be said that Sendou has done an impeccable job in every aspect, making people feel like a spring breeze without losing their grace.
"I have decided that from now on I will be extra and personally cheering for Sendou-sama!" said the black-haired girl.
All right! From questioning others' use of mulberry, I started to use sama.
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
Okay! A person who has no autonomy gained several fans just because he said a few gentle words.
It is indeed an era of looking at faces.
Afterwards, these three girls went to Class B to see Furuya and Xiaochun. However, Furuya's original personal fan had been blocked by someone.
While the three girls were still in a daze at the door of their class, Sendou, who was going to the toilet, passed by Class C!
I glanced inside almost instinctively and saw several people surrounding Sawamura.
Curiosity drove him to hold it in for a while and walked in.
"Eh? Sendou?"
"Shh!" Sendou immediately signaled Kanemaru to lower his voice, then walked over and saw Sawamura's sleeping face.
This guy was sleeping on the table with his head sideways, an inexplicable smile on his lips, drool dripping down his face, and his eyes were still half-open, twitching.
"Pfft! Ahem!" Sendou was amused by this scene.
This scene was recorded on the video recorder.
Although mobile phones are not allowed in class, the various clubs allow video recorders to be brought in, so this precious scene has become Sendou's collection.
Decades later, Sendou will probably be able to use the dark history of Sawamura to sort out an embarrassing story.
Just imagining it makes me laugh.
I just don't know if Sawamura will want to fight Sendou when he sees these dark histories when he grows up!
Anyway, Kanemaru next to him had a bad smile on his face.
Sendou smiled at Kanemaru if he knew it. The people next to him were warmed up, but Kanemaru felt cold all over.
Since tomorrow is the third round, which is the competition between Seidou and Second Match, today is mainly about adjustments.
After Sendou completed the strike contact, he went to find Sawamura.
When he arrived, he found out what Rei-chan and Senior Chris were talking about.
After walking in, I found out about Sawamura Four-Seam Fastball.
Speaking of which, this was my own negligence. Because I was too obsessed with letting Sawamura grow naturally, I forgot about the straight ball grip.
But if I teach him, he may not be selected by Rei-chan!
After all, if he uses Four-Seam Fastball for straight shots, no one will be able to spot his Quirk Ball.
This can be considered a gain and a loss!
"The run is over! Senior Chris!"
At this time, Furuya, who was called by Senior Chris to run, came back.
"Ara! Sendou, you are here!" Only then did Rei-chan and Sendou see the existence of Sendou, and Rei-chan was the only one who spoke with Sendou in such a tone.
"Well! The adjustment is almost done!"
After a simple exchange of words, we started talking about Furuya's business.
"Then warm up quickly and go to Bullpen! This way you won't use excess energy, right?
How about running a few laps before the race? "Chris guided Furuya, although it ended in a joke.
"The requirements may be strict for first-year Furuya-kun.
But if you want to win this summer, your strength is necessary.
Until Tanba comes back, you will be our ACE!
Come on! "Rei-chan is very good at coaxing people, because the current trump card must be Kawakami.
Sendou can already imagine how panicked the eavesdropping guy is now.
After chatting for a while and observing Sawamura's pitching for a while, Sendou said goodbye to a few people.
After that, Sendou asked Miyuki about Senior Tanba's status, and learned that it was as expected.
Although Fighting Spirit is more vigorous, there is a big gap between his condition and before the injury.
Sendou has no choice but to do this. The blank period is still too long, and the level decline is inevitable.
I'm afraid, in order to adjust to before the injury, this team needs to enter Koshien.
But Koshien..., thinking of this, Sendou shook his head again. No one dares to guarantee this. In this single-player competition system, famous teams may be upset by ordinary teams.
All you can do is do your job well, defend everything you can, try to defend what you can't, and score as many points as possible when attacking, that's all.
July 20
Fuchu Citizens Stadium
Seidou versus Toritsu Murata East, Seidou Batting Second.
Furuya, who was coaxed to heaven by Rei-chan yesterday, was on full fire today. Not only that, he also looked happy when changing sets.
It doesn't matter what the people next to you say, even if it's shaky.
"That guy... was praised as a trump card, and his arrogance became more and more arrogant!" Seeing Furuya's happy expression, Sawamura was going crazy from the railing.
Furuya pitched four innings alone.
The number of outs is also almost all obtained by strikeouts.
Tenzawa Murakami jumped up and down for four games today, but Coach Kataoka ignored him.
In the second half of the fourth inning, Captain Tetsu's serve hit Three-Run Home Run on the center field scoreboard, stretching the score to ten points.
The existence of Sendou and the explosive power of Seidou are extremely terrifying. In the original work, Bottom of the Fifth Inning Captain Tetsu's Two-Run Home Run turned the score into ten points, and now it has been done in four games.
"How strange! You would target Home Run or something! Do you want to compete with this guy Sendou?
This guy seems to be feeling pretty good today! "Jun-san said and pointed to Sendou squatting in the preparation area.
"I hope the pitching staff gets a break early, it's great to be in there!"
"You are so reliable, captain!" After saying this, Jun-san and Captain Tetsu high-fived.
"Is this the job of leading a team?
It's become more and more impressive recently!
Although shogi is super weak! "Miyuki looked at Captain Tetsu's back and snickered and thought.
And Captain Tetsu looked back as if he was feeling something, and finally felt that he heard wrongly.
(I must have heard it wrong! I am speaking from my heart. Didn't I hear it telepathically?)
While watching from the preparation area, Sendou, whose bases were cleared before it was his turn, looked depressed.
Then,
"Ping!"
"Crack!"
"Left field Home Run!"
"Is this the second one today? Ba ke mo no!!!" Jun-san is right, today's Sendou feels very good.
"Three teams in two games Home Run! Is this guy really a first grader?"
"Sendou-sama!" Well, the shouts of three people made Sendou blush with embarrassment.
Fumino in the audience stared directly at Sendou. Even Sendou could feel the burning gaze in the audience.
And Sendou just thought it was Fumino's brother's control attribute. (Ghost's brother controls him!)
In the first half of the fifth inning, Seidou made large-scale personnel adjustments, replacing Miyuki with Miyauchi-senpai, replacing Sendou with Kawakami, Furuya went to left field, and Isashiki-senpai went to center field.
Miyauchi-senpai, who usually snorts, took a deep breath. That loud voice really made Sendou extremely unforgettable.
Furuya, who didn't pitch enough, and Miyuki, who was also replaced, Bullpen still pitched with full firepower, which is quite scary.
The purpose of Miyuki is obviously to hope that Furuya will grow up faster, and the requirements will become more and more strict. Again, the single-player competition system is too cruel, and the team may suffer a bitter pill with a single goal deviation.
Just like Narumiya Mei last year, he lost because of a shot.
"If you're not motivated, change someone else! Hey!" Sawamura was making a noise next to him.
But Sawamura was wrong, Furuya was just tired, and Miyuki's strictness aggravated the fatigue.
"I have it!" Sure enough, Furuya spoke, unwilling to give up to Sawamura.
"Sawamura! You are too much in the way!" Miyuki said lightly.
"But I am so full of enthusiasm..."
"Then just work hard until you're exhausted! Hahaha!"
"Sendou! Go get your glove and catch my ball!"
"Take a rest! It's so hot!"
"Damn!!!"
Finally, the defense in the first half of the fifth game ended perfectly with senior Kawakami, Three Up Three Down.
There is no need to play in the second half of the game, just end it early.
The score was also fixed at thirteen to zero.
The game lasted only four and a half innings.
"It's over after another five rounds?"
"So! Ceremony!"
"Thank you!"
"Three years of hard work!!!" Well, he was that stupid kid again, but without even playing a game, Sawamura realized the horror of the high school baseball one-way game system.
But it will not hinder Sawamura's posture of moving forward with a straight chest.
After the game, the crowd of Seidou outside the stadium received support from all walks of life. The kind of audience that expressed support but was unwilling to come over for fear of causing trouble to Seidou was really cute.
Sendou and Miyuki heard girls from other schools calling their names.
But this kind of cry is more of a joke!
After the handover, they themselves were embarrassed and kept laughing, and the clear laughter was extremely sweet.
"The official competition is so awesome!" Sawamura also lamented the popularity of the competition.
"The summer preliminaries are special!" Xiaochun explained from the side.
"Yo west! Everyone is here!"
"Hi!"
After everyone finished their exercises, they had a meal in the stands, and everyone watched the next third game together!
The winning side is our opponent! "Coach Kataoka announced the subsequent arrangements.
Sendou glanced at the battle arrangement at the door, Toritsu Kamiyama High School versus Meikawa Academy.
"Yang Shunchen? "Muttering this name in my heart, Sendou narrowed his eyes.
Strictly speaking, Sendou prefers opponents who are good at controlling the ball.
The main reason is that he doesn't distinguish between good and bad pitches now, and pitchers like Young like to deviate one or two balls of bad pitches to lure hitters into action.
However, bad shots that normal hitters will not take or hit poorly are the sweet spot of Sendou.
Just looking at the surface, Sendou is just like that fox, good or bad.
Isashiki can clearly distinguish the good from the bad and can take good shots at it, but Sendou can't distinguish such detailed good and bad and can only take all the shots.
But for Yang there is no difference...
He couldn't have thrown the ball too far to Sendou, right?
What's more, the third strike was Isashiki, which he was also not good at dealing with, and the fourth strike was Captain Tetsu, which shocked him in the later stage. Even if he was given a walk, Sendou would not be able to play.
Recently, Sendou's Home Run has taken shots at bad balls, but the opponents are too weak to be of any reference. Therefore, even if Sendou's results are dazzling, he is not taken seriously in the eyes of other famous families.
Not even as good as Furuya.
Because except for the unknown Kiryu, heavyweight opponents are also very impressive. What can one show?
Ichidai San High's scene was Manaka Chun Jia's fatigue.
A series of coincidences and the special arrangements of Seidou Coach Kataoka resulted in Sendou still being a rare weapon that was not taken seriously by others.
Don't think that what is not known is a trump card. What is known but whose strength is misjudged is also a trump card, and is always more dangerous than what is not known.
Because you think you know his strength, but it may be too late when you see that it is inconsistent with the intelligence.
This is what is called darkness under the lamp.
It's the same sentence again, especially in a single-shot competition like Kouya, where the winner is determined by one serve.
Maybe one pitch, one hit, is the final nail in the coffin of a game.
What Sendou didn't know was that Coach Kataoka was already thinking about how to smooth out the hole card of Sendou and confuse the opponent by lowering the card.
It's like telling his competitors in the same district that letting him play five sticks before was just to train him, not that he is qualified for five sticks. The first two games were just abuse and cannot be used as a reference at all.
However, when Sendou's bat broke the backbone of a powerful enemy, it was probably too late for the unlucky guy to regret it.
If this continues, Sendou will only give the impression that he is particularly good at Long Hit's straight balls. Haven't you seen that most of his hits are straight balls?
