Luck?

"Thud!" The loud sound hit the barrier next to the batter's box, completely pulling Sendou, who was lost in memories, back to reality.

"Oh!" The teammates behind Sendou and the Wildcats exclaimed!

"K is so scary! How many kilometers is that?!!!"

"So fast! I only saw a white line and didn't see the ball at all, and Sendou-san, it should be even faster if you look from there!" At this time, a Wildcats team member said!

(In baseball, the ball speed is completely different when viewed from a few meters behind the batter's box, from the side, from the pitcher's perspective, and from the batter's box or the actual catcher's perspective.

The fastest is from the batter's box and the catcher's perspective. A few meters behind the batter, although it also feels fast, it is much slower than directly in the batter's box. The side and pitcher's perspectives are similar, and even at 160 kilometers, you can see the trajectory of the ball and it doesn't feel very fast. I've seen a 160-kilometer fastball from the actual catcher's perspective. It was a video taken with a camera placed on the catcher's head. To be honest, I only saw the ball when it hit the camera. Before that, I couldn't see the ball at all.)

"Yeah, the ball speed is 140 kilometers, yi ye, (no) obviously above that, at least 145 kilometers!" another player chimed in.

"An elementary school student wouldn't be able to hit this kind of ball, no, no middle school student could hit it, right?"

"What is the coach doing? Even Sendou-san can't hit a ball like that!"

"You scared me!" Sendou himself just narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, but on the surface, he couldn't see anything.

"Hehe, Sendou, this is a 150-kilometer fastball, even you definitely can't hit it. You have super dynamic vision, your eyes can keep up, and you can react with reflexes far beyond ordinary people, but your body itself can't keep up with your dynamic vision and reflexes. Show some surprise like a child! It's so boring to be like an adult all day!" Coach Nakanishi thought with a wicked smile, yes, he adjusted the ball speed so fast for this boring purpose.

"Huff!!! This coach is at it again. I always thought this old man would have a few days where he'd go crazy and do some bizarre things. Am I just unlucky to run into it today?" Sendou put the bat on his shoulder and looked at Coach Nakanishi.

This is a bit of a misunderstanding. Sendou always thought Coach Nakanishi had a few days a month when he was mentally unstable! In reality, the other party was extremely worried about this kid who didn't act like one at all.

"You won't be laughing in a moment, show all kinds of expressions like a child!" Coach Nakanishi thought, looking at Sendou, who had his lips tightly closed and looked like he was smiling.

He even started fantasizing about Sendou questioning him angrily.

If he knew, he would definitely be told: "You have delusions, I would never be that kind of person?"

In this strange atmosphere, the simulated pitching animation for the second ball appeared on the screen.

"Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack!"

"Whoosh!"

"Duang!" The huge roar of the hardball hitting the barrier reappeared, making people wonder if the barrier would break. This hardball was almost entirely wood shavings inside, almost no different from a solid wood ball.

Sendou observed this ball very seriously!

"At this speed, I definitely can't hit it normally right now...!" Sendou immediately made an accurate judgment!

"Well, after all, this old man is just doing something crazy today, so it's normal!

But..., that's only if I hit it normally. He seems to have forgotten that the pitching machine's ball speed is constant.

But even if I swing early, it's unlikely to hit it on the first try. It's probably with a 1, 2, 3 timing to swing early! Swinging early is a bit difficult, it doesn't matter if I don't hit the next ball, I'll hit a few more balls then!" Sendou muttered to himself during the break between the two balls and compared the hitting timing.

(Just in case, a little popular science, maybe most people know this, even between two pitches from a pitching machine, there is a not short amount of time. This is true.

In a casual batting center, the ball speed is slow, so this intermediate time may be short, I analyzed it myself, I haven't been there.)

In the end, even Sendou himself didn't realize that his unyielding personality was completely exposed. Originally, he had only agreed to hit once, which meant one at-bat, so the next time, which was the first swing, would be the last, although no one had said it explicitly.

"Yoshi, ya lu jia (let's go!)" This time Sendou unconsciously said it, although the voice was very low, the people behind him could still hear it.

"How rare, Akila, are you getting serious?!" Furuhashi Fumino thought to herself.

The familiar sound of the machine rang out again!

"In short, swing with all your might! Try to hit the ball! The rest depends on luck." As the machine clicked, Sendou told himself!

"Clang!!!"

In the quiet room, the sound of the bat hitting the ball was particularly piercing, and everyone's heart tightened!

In an instant, besides Sendou, who was outwardly calm but inwardly surprised, Furuhashi Fumino had a slight smile and an imperceptible look of triumph, and everyone else gradually stared blankly at the white ball flying into the sky!!!

"Thud!!!"

"..." Still, except for Sendou and Fumino, almost everyone was collectively stunned, and even their thoughts were a little slow to process!

Fumino, who only glanced at the ball, immediately turned her gaze to Sendou. Only Furuhashi Fumino, who had been watching Sendou since childhood, could see through his seemingly unwavering expression, demeanor, and movements. Sendou, facing her direction, held the bat in his right hand again, and his left hand, returned to his side, was lightly clenched. The almost imperceptible, small celebratory gesture showed the mood of the hand's owner.

At that moment, Furuhashi Fumino's smile bloomed, as if the world was falling for her (I think Fumino in some anime scenes is indeed breathtakingly beautiful and gives a very comfortable feeling).

For Fumino, that was enough. Unfortunately, no one saw this beautiful smile. Everyone was staring blankly at the white ball that had just hit the Home Run marker.

Fumino withdrew her gaze as soon as the ball started flying. Perhaps it was the understanding of a Childhood friend, so she saw what she wanted to see most, but her beauty went unseen. Sometimes a girl's request is that simple.

That's all, in short, I've forgotten what I wanted to say to everyone before I started writing. In short, please recommend and favorite, guys!
