Attack

"Ah!

This mistake was absolutely unacceptable!

And the next hitter is that man! The observer on the sidelines also reacted very strongly, covering his head with his hands.

It's terrifying to think that a runner was set up in front of Raichi Todoroki.

At this moment, Isashiki-senpai stopped shouting, not wanting to add pressure to them.

"When you've put yourself at a disadvantage and try to adjust, you throw a good Ball Trajectory that gets hit."

Moreover, this was the time of greatest pressure, but the crisis was amplified by his teammates!

"That pitcher really has bad luck!" Coach Ochiai muttered.

Seeing that the person next to him didn't say anything, Coach Ochiai glanced over...

"But why does this man... seem to be in a rather good mood?" he wondered to himself, somewhat uncertainly.

The reason for this uncertainty is that this person is very good at hiding their true feelings; their outward emotions may be genuine or they may be feigned.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, Coach Ochiai still noticed this.

After all, he is also a person who is good at observing.

"I... I'm sorry!" Higasa- senpai was stunned for a while after his mistaken pass was halfway through before he recovered from the shock and quickly apologized to Sawamura on the Pitcher's Mound.

He also didn't want his mistake to put too much pressure on him.

"No... don't worry about it!"

My ball went too high!

"Damn it!!" Sawamura replied.

However, his expression was slightly ferocious, quite different from his usual demeanor.

However, even Koharu and Kuramochi, who were nearby, didn't notice and thought from the sound that he seemed a little annoyed.

"Let's get back to the point... you two!"

"Now for the important stuff!"

After the fielders finished comforting him, Furuya frantically swung his arms in the outfield, deliberately making noise with his clothes.

"Stop performing, you're already exhausted!"

"Hey! Over there!!!" Sawamura shouted loudly, as if he had been provoked.

However, Furuya ignored him completely.

"Yosh! Your chance has come!"

Get them out of here!

"A dazzling firework, the super luxurious one!" Raizo Todoroki wildly from the bench.

After all, his silly son is about to make his appearance.

"Get them out!"

"Raichi!"

Sendou himself quite likes Raichi, but every time he thinks of him, he can't help but think of the thick calluses on Raichi's hands.

Since both of them were left-handed hitters, they couldn't help but look at their own hands.

"Thank goodness there are no calluses!"

Even if that guy tries, can't he at least wear gloves and soak it in warm water or something?

You need to take good care of your hands!

"And that scar..." she would mutter to herself as she looked at her hands.

The boy with the scar on his face had already walked into the Batter's Box with a terrifying smile.

Although that smile is terrifying only to the Seidou team members.

"This fighter is a simpleton, but his strength is real!" Sendou said.

"Um!

Of all the pitches Furuya today, only this guy hit a ball in his first at-bat!

"This guy is a monster...!" Coach Ochiai said, glancing silently at Sendou.

I want to know what you meant by glancing at me!

"Sorry!

"I just feel that if we're talking about monsters, you're more like one...!" Coach Ochiai realized that Sendou didn't seem to like being called a monster.

"There's no need to apologize so directly, it's not a big deal anyway!" In reality, the two of them were not on the same wavelength at all.

Sawamura, standing on the Pitcher's Mound, looked at the batter in front of him and couldn't help but recall being hit by the opponent during the Summer Preliminaries.

He clenched his teeth tightly, unable to calm himself down.

The monkey's smile, in particular, gradually became demonic in Sawamura's eyes, and his heart began to pound wildly.

The sound was so loud that he could hear it clearly himself.

However, he remained calm inside.

He glanced at Raichi, then at the runner on first base.

"Smack!"

"Safety!"

They quickly completed a diversionary maneuver.

He remembered Senior Chris's words: the purpose of holding back runners is not to knock them out, but to prevent them from getting too far from the bases and to disrupt the opponent's rhythm.

After all, humans are easily stressed by this kind of repeated restraint, and will unconsciously move away from the base to what they perceive as a safe distance.

At the start, prepare in advance and start running as soon as you see the thrower.

The feeling is completely different from being restrained and then starting half a beat slower, first judging whether it is a restraint.

"Hmm!" After receiving the pass back from first base, Sawamura once again imitated his Miyauchi-senpai, exhaling hot air from his nose.

"How annoying!"

They've only been off the base a little bit, yet they're already holding them back.

You don't need to make such a scary face, I won't run away.

"There's absolutely no need to run!" Qiu Ye stood up again, feeling helpless.

He didn't want to run and get humiliated by being tackled, so he was naturally in a very bad mood.

Miyuki, on the other hand, kept a close eye on Raichi, who was making preparations.

After spotting this guy standing in the Batter's Box, he remained motionless, his every movement radiating Fighting Spirit and momentum.

One glance is enough to tell that Raichi has an extremely strong desire to strike.

"As expected, how terrifying!" Miyuki thought to himself as he looked at Raichi.

Then, I thought about Sawamura's previous pitching and the series of incidents that happened during Akiba's at-bat.

Miyuki ultimately decided to first assess Sawamura's current condition.

"Smack!"

"Bad ball!"

"The first ball was a bad ball in the outside corner!"

It's rare for Sawamura to attack from the outside...

Is it an attempt to avoid Head-on Showdown?

"That's probably why they're being a bit cautious, because it's the one hitting them!"

And judging from the previous matches, Sawamura wasn't in good form today!

Just as the people on the sidelines were talking, Miyuki passed the ball back to Sawamura.

"Yoshi!"

The ball had a lot of power, and it wasn't going as high as before...

The landing point was basically near my glove.

That way we can have a showdown with the bomber!

If we could score an Inside Corner Ball kick like we did just now!

A shot unlike anything he'd ever seen before... he hurled the ball at Carter's chest!

If we don't throw it, we won't have a chance to finish it off.

Upon seeing the Signals, Sawamura recalled what Miyuki had said the day before yesterday: his ball control was not stable at the moment, and he would not let him take particularly difficult shots.

Therefore, he understands perfectly!

If you can't even throw your limited Ball Trajectory well, you won't be able to keep playing, let alone earn an ace Back Number.

To reiterate, Sawamura may be clumsy, but he's definitely not stupid!

"Thump! Thump!" Thinking of this, Sawamura's heart pounded even harder.

"Ugh! It's so noisy!"

Calm down!... My heart!

Should we go? Or should we run away?

This kind of thing...

How could an ace run away?

"Call out!"

"Inside Corner Ball!"

"Boom!"

"Call out!"

"Um?"

"Oops!"

"Ping!"

Miyuki didn't expect that at this moment, Raichi Todoroki would react instinctively and hit the ball behind him.

This shot wasn't fast, but it wasn't high either.

"Wild wolf!" Miyuki cursed, took off his mask, and turned to pounce.

"Huh?" Raichi was startled by Miyuki's reaction and couldn't judge the outcome at all.

At that moment, countless people couldn't help but stand up.

"NO!" On the pharmacist's bench, quite a few people instinctively covered their heads.

"Puff!"

Miyuki landed with a flying tackle, but he was still just a little short.

"Outside the boundary!!"

So the result is just one number of strikes...

"Damn it!" Miyuki exclaimed in frustration.

If received, Raichi Todoroki will be eliminated immediately.

The pharmacists breathed a collective sigh of relief.

If Raichi is out of the game, there will be no more opportunities to create them.

What's truly frightening is that the Pitcher's Mound will immediately gain a huge morale boost.

They had witnessed firsthand how formidable this guy could be when he was in a powerful mood.

Inajitsu the final, Inashiri relentlessly suppressed the opponent's offense until the very end, and even their ball control became steady and accurate.

"What a terrifying hitter!" Coach Ochiai unconsciously tightened his grip on his beard.

"That's instinct!"

The bat was slightly deflected at the moment the ball entered home plate and caused a change in the game.

Ultimately, the ball went backward instead of forward!

"Good assessment, that guy's body!" Sendou said with a very interested expression.

"Is that a wild animal?"

"As expected... a terrifying hitter!" Coach Ochiai thought to himself as he slightly complained to Sendou.

"His form on that ball was definitely not bad!"

A wild, untamed type of player, similar to the original Sendou...

Although he wasn't eliminated, he must have left a deep impression on me, right?

After overcoming difficulties through bodily instincts, and then regaining control of the body with reason, there is a belated sense of fear, like being narrowly escaped death!

"Can this guy adjust his mood like that guy Sendou Y?" Miyuki thought to himself as he looked at Raichi, who was panting heavily and repeatedly muttering to himself, "So amazing."

Absolutely impossible!!!

That guy doesn't have the terrifying emotional control that Sendou!

If we maintain this state!

We need to speed things up and crush him before he recovers!

"It's okay if it's a bad ball!" he thought again as he crouched down after passing the ball.

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Ping!"

"Outside the boundary!"

"As expected! He hesitated when swinging the bat!"

Chance!!!

Don't give him time to catch his breath!

"Defeat him here!!" Miyuki was also somewhat agitated.

"Let's decide the winner!!!"

I will never run away!!

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Huh?"

Does the sensation at your fingertips feel a little strange?

"So sweet!"

"Ping!!"

"Baka!" Sendou muttered softly as he threw the ball, glancing at Miyuki expression and Sawamura's overall movements.

"Call out!"

"Pfft!"

Even the specially heightened fencing for Sendou couldn't stop the ball. (Although it was higher, it was still useless against Sendou.)

Raichi Todoroki raised his right arm high!

"Yoshi! Two-Run Home Run!!!"

"Hahaha!" Raichi Todoroki laughed as he started running the bases.

"The moment it was launched, and the trajectory of that arc, were absolutely flawless!!"

"The Ball Trajectory is too easy to hit!"

"Although the swing was indeed slow, he still managed to sweep the ball out with sheer force!" Miyuki was completely stunned for a moment!

If we only look at the Ball Trajectory and ignore the interference it experienced beforehand, then...

Don't even mention Raichi Todoroki, you could hit the fence in the Maezono right now.

(Maezono was speechless; he was just that bad, and could be considered an example of "even".)

And it wasn't even Home Run...)

Although it has power, it lacks speed, and it's the easiest Ball Trajectory to hit, like feeding the ball right in the middle.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Raizo Todoroki was accepting the team's captain's congratulations.

"Raichi! Make sure you're on the bases!" Sanada reminded him loudly in a gentle tone.

"Stop wasting points, you bastard!" This was undoubtedly Mishima's response.

"Hahaha!" Raichi Todoroki, running back to home plate, raised his left fist in celebration towards Mishima and Akiha.

"You bastard!!!"

What did you eat to be able to hit the ball that far?!

Bananas?!

Was it because I ate a banana?!

He could fly over such a tall fence!

"Nice attack! You bastard!!!" Mishima retorted with a barrage of attacks.

Autumn Leaves, baring their teeth, couldn't hide the joy on their faces.

From any angle, this was an impeccable Home Run.

"The one who missed the pitch, right?... That's him!" Coach Ochiai's voice rang out from the silent Seidou bench.

The sound wasn't loud, but because no one was shouting, almost everyone could hear it.

"Um!

That Black-bellied Glasses was so excited that Eijun started to get anxious too.

When throwing, the ball is released before the pitching posture is even completed, and the body's power is not yet released before the hand has already lost control of the ball.

"A series of reasons led to this Home Run!" Sendou said with a smile.

"I see!" Coach Ochiai muttered to himself.

Only Coach Ochiai heard Sendou's "Baka!"

"Don't take it to heart, Sawamura!"

"It's just a bad decision!"

"The ball got hit, so it's all Miyuki's fault!!"

If you just think about it that way!!

"So this was originally Miyuki's fault, wasn't it?" (That voice and those lines are so familiar, that's right, it's the bald guy, Tanba Koichiro!)

This guy happens to be on the bench!

"Change your mood!"

"Just focus on dealing with the next attacker."

"We'll kill them all one by one!"

"You guys, call them out too!" Jun-san shouted in support.

"Excuse me! I would like to request a pause!" However, before the note could listen to Jun-san's words, Miyuki had already called a pause and run up.

"Come here!" Raizo Todoroki called out to Raichi Todoroki with a beaming smile, as if coaxing a child.

It feels like saying to a child, "Come here and let me hug you."

"I thought they would attack with a very tricky Ball Trajectory!"

But it wasn't taken... Inside Corner Ball kick!

That Changeup just now threw me off balance and slowed down my reactions!

If you take an Inside Corner Ball kick that will earn you a small profit!

"I'm afraid I really can't handle this!" Raichi Todoroki returned to the bench and looked at the gathered Seidou players, thinking to himself.

Although he hit Home Run, he was actually very nervous at the time.

We'll see how things go today! It's probably best to assume there won't be any more updates. This last part was written very slowly, and I'm not very confident about making up for it.
