"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Nice shot!"

"The attacker is out!"

"Three outs, change of game!"

"The difference in strength is too great..."

"He's the only one whose skill is exceptionally outstanding." Coach Ochiai muttered to himself, stroking his beard on the bench.

At this point, he had already put on the Seidou team uniform and officially entered the bench.

In this team, there are only two and a half players who can truly impress Coach Ochiai: Furuya, Sendou, and Miyuki count as half.

Miyuki's current attacks are still unstable; they can only be considered half-effective...

"Furuya, go do your closing exercises!"

They'll be changing players in the next round!

Upon hearing Coach Kataoka's words, Furuya froze instantly.

Even though he was already out of breath, he was unwilling to leave the field for the first time as the ace.

However, Coach Kataoka wouldn't leave an exhausted guy on the field.

Continuing to use him in this situation would only increase the chances of him getting injured. We already have one injured player on the bench, so how can we let a second one get injured?

Thus, Furuya's first official match of the Furuya came to an end.

Seven innings No Hit, five runs allowed, not even Four Balls, and two home runs on Long Hit hits – it was a perfect performance.

The score at this point was only three to zero...

However, in the following innings, Seidou Batting Lineup lineup managed to snatch two runs from the opposing pitcher, finishing the eighth inning 5-0, salvaging some pride. (The Ninth Inning ended directly after Batting Second lead.)

"Furuya was absolutely amazing today!!"

"Yes!

Although he was substituted in the seventh inning, his performance was really consistent!

This autumn, perhaps we can achieve good results even with him alone!

"No, no, no! It really still comes down to burst damage in lane!"

Seidou is synonymous with strong performances!

"I don't feel that way at all now!"

Not only the audience, but also the veterans on the sidelines were extremely dissatisfied.

"It didn't end early!"

What are these guys doing? They could have scored so many more points!

"The result was that Furuya exploded on both offense and defense!" Jun-san cursed as soon as the match ended.

"That's true! It's really outrageous!"

During the Yakushi Game, the supervisor said he would change the personnel, but the result was the same as before.

But now it seems like it really should be changed!

"At least we need to switch to a straight!" Oni-san still had that same smiling face, but those who knew him well would definitely see the terror on his face.

"The coach is very strict, but he still believes in the players!" (Jun-san)

"It seems that the chemistry between the players isn't quite there yet!" Senior Kadota said.

"As expected, I still need to push them a little harder. They haven't knelt enough yet!" Jun-san said, but her tone softened considerably.

"Sigh! We were just groping our way forward back then too!"

At the beginning of each game, there will be more and more challenges!

"Give them a little more time!" Oni-san sighed.

"However, when Maezono was attacking, wasn't he overthinking things?"

He's such an incompetent batter!

"Too!

If this continues, not only will they lose their Center Batting Lineup, but they might even lose their starting positions!

The supervision is probably just to give him a chance because he works so hard!

Who knows?

"Is this what a baseball game is like? It's amazing!"

"That Furuya guy is handsome too!"

"I like this kind!"

"That long fringe is so cute!"

However, some people think it's good, though these are all laymen.

Because it was a Sunday game, and it was being played on their own school's sports field.

Therefore, many students from Seidou came to watch the game.

There are also the die-hard fans of Sendou from the surrounding area, whether they are from Seidou or other schools, they are basically there to see Sendou-sama and cheer for Seidou.

After all, it was rare for Sendou to speak up in the group, saying things like "thank you" and "keep it up," so quite a few people came.

However, most of the comments were just phrases like "amazing," with the rest consisting of critiques of the Seidou players' appearances. (The guy who single-handedly dragged down Seidou's overall attractiveness has been dealt another heavy blow...)

However, regardless of whether they performed well or poorly, the First Match is now in the past.

They will then have another week of rest before they can play the second time.

Therefore, the coaching staff has plenty of time to reconsider the training arrangements and deal with various issues.

After this game, Coach Kataoka's first decision was to remove Maezono from the third batter position.

They still intend to give him a chance, but it's impossible for him to take on such an important position as the third batter.

In the entire batting lineup, the batter's batting average requirement is the highest, but Koharu is only a freshman and lacks starting experience, so this position is naturally out of the question... Shirazu-senpai is the best choice.

Surprisingly, the Double Pitcher from Seidou were the most affected by this match.

The next afternoon, the weather turned cloudy and a light rain began to fall.

However, training will continue...

The three pitchers naturally started by running, and before long, Furuya appeared from behind him and ran in front of him.

Furuya was so excited that he went all out from the start, but he ran out of energy in the seventh inning and was substituted off the court.

He thought that although he carried the Back Number of ace, he was not trusted like an ace.

He wanted to deliver a pitch that, in terms of both result and content, left everyone speechless... a pitch that everyone would agree on. (Actually, it was all just him adding his own drama...)

"This... this bastard!"

"I... you're not allowed to run ahead of me!!! (Jun-san said this to Captain Tetsu...)" However, this action naturally angered Sawamura.

Sawamura sped up to catch up, Furuya, naturally, wasn't going to be outdone...

"These two guys, I don't know when they started practicing mid-distance sprints..." Their actions made Kawakami- senpai, who was saying this, seem even less noticeable.

Those two stubborn bastards on the court ran faster and faster, and soon they were about to hook Kawakami- senpai's collar...

"Those two guys!"

Seeing how energetic they are, we should try to score more points.

"If this continues, Ryo-san and the others will beat me to death." Naturally, the first senior that Kuramochi thought of was his older brother.

"Hmph! We've long since run out of options." Maezono probably doesn't realize that he's already been slated to be removed from the third batter position...

The two guys who were sprinting soon found themselves panting and unable to run any further.

"You two... shouldn't you think about how to distribute your energy?" Kawakami finally caught up after a while and complained.

"Oh no!"

"Stamina allocation is a big problem!" Furuya, who was just focused on competing with Sawamura, only realized this problem at that moment.

"You can't be cured, you idiot! Hahaha!!"
