This man's pitch made them realize the absolute gap in skill!

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Good shot!! Two!"

Just as the batter was lost in thought, he couldn't even react to the next Fastball.

"Another 150!!!"

This man fired continuously at 150 kilometers per hour!!!

"Moreover, they can precisely control the situation at the edges and corners. Sitting here, I can feel the despair of the attackers!" Mr. Che continued, picking up where the commentator left off.

"One more goal!"

What should I do? Can I really hit that straight shot? Tanaka was starting to doubt himself.

"One goal left!"

"The attacker is already so hesitant, the rest will be easy!" Miyuki raised his gloves.

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Boom!"

When Sendou saw the batter unconsciously swinging the bat, he already knew the outcome.

Once he had regained his footing, he didn't even glance at the attacker, turned around expressionlessly, and ran straight to the bench.

He wasn't even aware of how his own ball had changed.

"Nice shot!"

"The attacker is out!"

The referee's voice and Sendou's profile as he jogged down the Pitcher's Mound.

The overwhelming strength intensified the sense of despair among the players of Kyoma.

They were completely helpless against this person, they didn't know what the right thing to do was, and even the idea of themselves and the bat touching the ball was unimaginable.

"That's amazing! Unlike the Fast Forkball, the last ball moved up from home plate."

Is this also Changeup?

The batter swung at the high ball and missed, resulting in a strikeout of three players!

No one's bat touched the man's ball even slightly!

And the final ball, without requiring any ball control, reached a speed of 153 kilometers per hour!!!

The fastest ball speed of the day!!!

The fastest record, 154 kilometers from Koshien, is just one kilometer away!!

"Nice ball! Why didn't you tell me sooner that you could throw this kind of ball?"

You know I almost missed the call?

That's an incredible increase at that speed!

" Furuya only rose slightly, but yours rose at least ten centimeters!" Miyuki quickly caught up with Sendou, patted him on the back with his glove, and laughed.

"Hmm?" Sendou felt someone pat him, changed from running to walking, and looked over with a puzzled expression.

This guy is clearly distracted again.

Didn't you hear what I said?

"Your ball has risen to home plate!" Miyuki repeated.

"Really? I didn't see it!"

"Uh!!" Miyuki froze.

He now realized that the guy hadn't heard a word he'd just said, no matter what he was thinking.

"Haha! Nice ball!"

"Nice pitch!" ( Captain Tetsu )

"Same as always! Not bad!" (Onii-san)

"Woo-ga!"

"Nice ball! You bastard!" ( Jun-san )

At this moment, the others caught up and each said something.

"Thank you!" Sendou thanked him without any happy expression; it was obvious to everyone that he was truly uninterested in these things.

What were you thinking about just now?

The commentator also mentioned that your ball was changing direction upwards.

"It looks like you didn't hear me at all!" Miyuki couldn't help but ask curiously.

The others also looked over, and through Miyuki's words, they learned the whole story.

"That one!"

I'm thinking about what to eat at the victory celebration banquet tonight!

"..." Everyone was speechless; this guy was a real foodie.

"Didn't you notice before that when you don't care about ball control and shoot with all your might, the ball rises significantly?" Miyuki asked.

"I don't know! This is the first time I've ever thrown like this!"

And those previous fastballs were also all-out throws!

It's just that you control the direction the balls fly by using the feel of your fingertips.

Unlike those guys who Low Ball to control it!

If I had to point out the difference, I'd say the fingertip contact time is longer and the rotation speed is higher!

"Probably!" As they spoke, the group had already walked to the front of the bench area.

"I see! That way we don't need to deliberately throw bad balls anymore!"

"It can totally be used as Changeup!" Miyuki said happily.

"Do as you please!" Sendou said, then walked straight to the bench, looking for a place to rest for a while.

"You've worked hard!" Coach Kataoka said with a smile as Sendou walked onto the bench.

"I did it for the vacation..." Sendou said stubbornly as he went inside.

At the same time,

"Then I'll do whatever I like! Hehe!" As the others entered the bench one after another, Miyuki muttered to himself and followed.

On the other side,

"What's that? That ball!"

I've never seen such a varied Ball Trajectory before!

Besides the Fast Forkball and the Changeup, there's this kind of ball too!

As Gu Zhong spoke, the Kyoma club fell silent.

"The game isn't over yet!"

Anything can happen until the very end. If you give up now, the game is over!

Fight to the very end!

"With Sendou's stamina, he might not be able to last until the end," Coach Nitta said to the players in front of him.

The players from Kyoma looked at each other, and after a short while, their expressions returned to normal.

At that moment, they realized that perhaps these were just words of comfort from Coach Nitta.

However, this sentence also conveyed to them the will to fight to the very end.

"Hi!!!"

"The supervisor is right!"

Because it's a dream, who could easily give up?

"I will fight to the very end!"

"How could we let you look down on us!"

With shouts echoing in their hearts, the players of Kyoma charged onto the court with resolute faces, where the final round of attack and defense awaited them!

"The players from the Kyoma still have eyes!" Harada said seriously, looking at the expressions of the Kyoma players flashing across the screen.

"However, willpower has its limits; what you can't do, you still can't do!"

Baseball isn't so simple that you can win just by willpower!

Moreover, in the face of absolute power, everything is just a meaningless struggle! Narumiya Mei retorted seriously and arrogantly.

"Perhaps that's true!" Harada, unusually, agreed with Narumiya Mei's words this time.

" In the Ninth Inning, Seidou High School's attack..."

Nine sticks! Right fielder, Shirazu-kun! "

"Finally, it's time for the final round of attack and defense for both sides!"

The players from Kyoma still show no signs of giving up.

This is the spirit of baseball!

" Shirazu-senpai! Fight your way out!"

"Go!"

The morale of the Seidou supporters is completely different from before.

"Ping!"

"Yoshi! First ball attack!"

"First hit!"

"Bite!"

Kuramochi then Kuramochi a short bat, sending Shirazu to second base.

Even with a seven-point lead, Seidou showed no signs of letting up.

They will launch the fiercest and most intense attack to the very end.

"Second baseman, Kominato-kun!"

"Stealing a base!"

"Ping!!"

"This is Hit and Run!"

"That's the ninth point!!!"

"And it's a runner on second base with one out!!!"

As for why Onisan reached second base, it wasn't because he hit Long Hit.

However, no matter how Fighting Spirit is, the physical body will still suffer negative effects after experiencing Sendou's pitching baptism.

The seemingly mechanical and impenetrable defenses of the Kyoma were beginning to falter.

A mistake by second baseman West sent Onisan to second base.

Then, Isashiki-senpai had returned to center, hit a run.

One out, first and third!

"Four bats! Pitcher, Sendou-kun!"

"Ta-da! Ta...

Ta-da! Ta-da!

Ta-da! Ta-da! Hey!!!

Ta-da! Hey!!!

Ta-da!

The moment Sendou stepped into the Batter's Box, the entire stadium erupted and trembled, as if the earth were shaking.

What's it like to have tens of thousands of people dubbing along with the rhythm of Pep Band?

There's only one word to describe it: utterly shocking.

Kyoma, dared not challenge the Sendou to a duel, and unconditionally protected him.

Bases loaded!

"Fifth batter! First baseman, Yuuki-kun!"

"Men have their own world!"

If a metaphor is needed, then it is like a star streaking across the sky!

Charge out! Yuuki!!

Yuu~Kiyo!! Yuu~Kiyo!!

With cheers coming from the fourth and fifth batters, the game felt like a concert.

Sendou reached first base, and the atmosphere remained electric as the cheering anthem for the Captain Tetsu played.

It seemed as if the entire audience was singing praises to the new King.

"Notification of player replacement from Kyoma Daifuji Maki High School."

The Hasebe who was traded for Hasebe, the batter, pitcher, and... Midorikawa-kun!

Ninth batter! Pitcher, Midorikawa-kun!

After a string of hits, Kyoma finally decided to change pitchers.

However,

"Ping!"

"Call out!"

"Puff!"

Captain Tetsu used a Long Hit to show them that the Seidou Batting Lineup lineup had been energized.

Just like what Mine Fujio said about Inajitsu Sakurazawa during the war.

This kind of pitching performance is so powerful and leaves opponents in despair!

It can psychologically undermine the opponent's belief and also improve the performance of teammates.

Seidou Batting Lineup's relentless, storm-like attacks had only just begun.

"Ping!"

"Ping!"

"Ping!"

The new pitcher still couldn't do anything about this batting lineup.

Although the defense of the Kyoma regained its form in the game and got Itai out, the other players all got hits.

Although it was mostly just a single, the final scoreboard showed the number eight!

The seven-point difference suddenly became a fifteen-point difference.

The score is 16 to 1!

Seidou's endless attacks finally came to an end.

Seidou entered the second half with a 15-point lead.

This is also the Kyoma Daifuji Maki's last chance to attack.

" In the Ninth Inning, the attack from Kyoma Daifuji Maki High School..."

Eighth batter! Catcher, Enjo-kun!

When Yuancheng stood in the Batter's Box and faced that figure that resembled a demon king, he was filled with mixed emotions.

He never dreamed the competition would turn out this way.

All he can do now is take the bat and fight him one last time.

"This is the last one!"

With the final three eliminations, show us everything!

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Boom"

" Changeup...!"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!!"

"115!"

"First ball, Changeup!"

The batter had absolutely no chance against that ball!

"This is..."

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Boom!"

"Good shot! Two!"

"This is... Sendou Akira!!!"

Yuan Cheng looked down at the person with a silent gaze, silently reciting something in his heart, which seemed to carry a hint of relief.

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Nice shot!!"

"The attacker is out!"

It happened again!!!

153 kilometers!!

Every Fastball that appears sends the audience into a frenzy.

"Notification of player replacement for Kyoma Daifuji Maki High School; pitcher Mitani- kun has been replaced."

"Substitute player, Onishi-kun!"

"This is the fourth pitcher!"

Does Kyoma have a fifth pitcher?

"How is that possible?"

They probably knew they had no chance of winning the game!

Even the audience could see that Kyoma's purpose in this substitution was no longer to win the game.

Instead, they aim for a single point, a hit, or even just to let their pinch hitter ace come out and experience the stadium atmosphere.

On the field, however, the atmosphere was somewhat tragic.

The Seidou, more accurately the Sage Sendou on the Pitcher's Mound.

It's like the final boss or the biggest villain in a comic book, and it's a tragic story of the villain winning.

Like a great demon king, it stands tall on the Pitcher's Mound, waiting for the protagonist to come and die.

This man, however, did not know how to show mercy.

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

Smack!!!

"135!"

"This is... Forkball?"

"This man can even throw a regular Forkball!" The commentator was speechless.

The guy in front of me doesn't look like a first-year student at all.

Could it be that they're not the ace player from the professional league champion team, but someone who's impersonating them to participate?

Why bother playing student baseball when you should be playing professionally...?

However, Sendou doesn't care what others think, and the batters standing in the Batter's Box are already numb.

Even though he was truly desperate and unwilling, he was powerless to change anything.

Looking at the panting pitcher in front of him, he still couldn't muster any thought of resistance.

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Boom!"

"152!"

"That ball speed again!"

"You really can't tell that Sendou-kun is so tired!" The commentator didn't even want to shout anymore; the tens of thousands of viewers were enough to keep him entertained.

"That's true!"

It seems that Sendou-kun is a very rare type!

"As physical strength is depleted and physical sensation improves, both ball speed and power will increase!" Mr. Che explained.

The third ball was then Fast Forkball, which finished off the second batter.

That leaves only one person.

As expected, Kyoma once again sent out its substitute ace.

This hitter is quite different from Onishi.

All he felt was resentment.

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Nice shot!!"

"152!"

Why is this happening?

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"153!"

"Why did this happen?!"

"It's the last ball!"

Use your fastest ball to finish him off!

"Puff!"

"Stop!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Nice shot!!"

"The attacker is out!!"
