After watching Sawamura's pitching, Coach Ochiai had some advice to give him, so even though his steps were heavy, he didn't refuse.

"If you throw a good pitch, please shout it out loud!!!"

"Don't be shy!!!" Sawamura shouted, clenching his fist.

This guy really doesn't know how to talk. He spoke to the coach in a tone that sounded like he was taking care of a new classmate and was afraid that the other person would be isolated.

"This guy is still an idiot!" Coach Ochiai didn't want to argue with Sawamura anymore when he saw him like this.

"Then let's begin!" Coach Ochiai said.

"Yes, sir!" Kariba immediately agreed.

Sawamura might be disrespectful, but Kariba isn't that kind of idiot; he'll definitely respect and obey the coach's arrangements.

"Please guide me!" Sawamura bowed exaggeratedly to Coach Ochiai at a ninety-degree angle.

Coach Ochiai was speechless. Was this a lack of respect for elders or a lack of manners?

One can only conclude that this guy's brain isn't capable of distinguishing between good and bad words...

"Come on, Sawamura!" Kariba hurriedly opened his gloves, afraid that Sawamura might say something rude again.

"Puff!"

"Ah! Huixiu!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"...!" Coach Ochiai broke out in a cold sweat after seeing Sawamura's ball drift away again.

"Too high!"

"Pay more attention!!!" Even the kind-hearted Hunting Ground couldn't stand it anymore.

"I'm so sorry!" Sawamura, realizing his mistake, even bowed and apologized to Kariba.

"This... is way too exaggerated!"

"There's no need for this, Sawamura!" Kariba was also annoyed by the exaggerated gesture.

"Actually!"

"Huh?" The pitcher and catcher both turned their heads when they heard Coach Ochiai.

After Coach Ochiai gave some athletes advice, those athletes improved rapidly. Even Sawamura, who thought about training all day long, had heard some of these rumors.

"Actually... after seeing your pitch just now, I felt I could help you."

But... let's forget about it!

It's better not to bother that person.

You should focus on getting your ball skills back to a decent level first!

"Ah! I'm so sorry! I'm really sorry!"

Please give me some advice!

That was just a slight failure!

"I'm so sorry!!!" Sawamura immediately panicked, bowing deeply and apologizing very sincerely (exaggeratedly).

"This is way too exaggerated!" Coach Ochiai breath.

Sawamura's exaggerated actions led him to inadvertently blurt out his innermost thoughts.

"That person?" Kariba grasped the key point in Coach Ochiai's words.

Instead of giving advice, should we recommend someone to teach him?

"Well! I'll stay a little longer!"

Hurry up and adjust!

"Thank you so much!" Sawamura gave another exaggerated bow and quickly ran back.

"It's time to vote! Hunting Ground!!!"

"Huh? Oh!" He was dumbfounded by what he had just witnessed; I was a beat too slow to react.

"Relax! Relax! We can't afford to fail again!"

Relax!"

"Yes, yes! Make your expression even more idiotic!" Kariba said.

However, the use of the word "baka" was not meant to mock him; rather, it was because the hunter genuinely didn't know what other word to use.

"What is 'baka'?!"

"Alright! Hurry up and throw it!"

"Seriously, I have to start all over again!"

Relax!"

A few seconds later, Sawamura's silly grin reappeared.

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"NiceBall!!!"

Sawamura!

"Hahaha!"

One more goal!!!

"Was your whole body so relaxed that you didn't even have the strength to close your mouth? That's why you're grinning like an idiot!"

But there's no need to go to this extent!

"Forget it, this guy's an idiot, so he can't control his body unless he does something so extreme?" Coach Ochiai understood the reason for this expression a little, but he was still speechless about the reason.

In the following pitches, Sawamura also threw at a certain level. Although he had some easy Ball Trajectory, the pitches were concentrated in the Strike Zone, and there were very few easy Ball Trajectory left.

Moreover, although he didn't know why, Coach Ochiai was well aware that this guy's ball was much harder to hit than it looked.

As for the reason, we'll only know by standing in the Batter's Box, just like Sendou said. However, Coach Ochiai isn't interested. For now, it seems he just wants to know the result.

"Let's stop for a bit!" Coach Ochiai called out to the two.

"Sergeant! Are you going to give me some advice?" Sawamura's eyes sparkled.

"Actually, I can't really offer any advice!"

Regarding ball control, you can ask Sendou!

The pitching in the Koshien final!

The ball speed easily exceeds 150 kilometers per hour, yet it can be stably controlled within the Four-Quadrant.

I don't think anyone is more suitable to teach you than him!

Although that guy also relies on intuition, he can recall many details, so he might be able to offer you some practical help.

"That guy, Sendou?"

Oh right! How could I have forgotten about him?

Is this what the Sendou meant when it said that the closer something is, the less clearly it can be seen?

"I'm going right now!!!" Sawamura reacted strongly and ran out without saying another word.

"Is everything alright, buddy?" Coach Ochiai asked Kariba, watching the guy rush out and disappear from sight.

Coach Ochiai knew that Sendou had already returned to the dormitory, and it wouldn't be easy to get him out of Imagination Training.

"This guy has always been like this!"

"Sendou will probably be dragged over by him soon!" Kariba didn't know the meaning of Coach Ochiai's question, so he said it in the normal order of things.

"Is that so?" Coach Ochiai asked doubtfully.

At this moment, Kariba understood that they were asking about Sendou's side.

Everyone knows what kind of personality Sendou has.

"What others say, they can't do."

However, Sawamura is an exception!

This guy and Sendou are childhood friends who both graduated from the same middle school and have been together since the fourth grade of elementary school.

There are also rumors that the two families have been Close Friend since their grandfathers' generation.

Sendou was able to come here, and even continue playing baseball in high school, all because of Sawamura!

"Of course, I don't know if it's true!" Kariba said what he knew.

"I see!" This was the first time Coach Ochiai had heard these secrets.

"Sendou!!!" Sawamura ran to Room Seven, pushed open the door, and shouted.

By this time, Sendou had already finished showering and was wearing pajamas, hiding under the covers reading comics.

He looked up at the guy at the door with a puzzled expression.

"Shouldn't you be training?"

What are you doing here?

"I don't have any snacks here today!" Sendou said with a smile.

"I don't want to today!!" Sawamura retorted loudly.

"Sorry to have disturbed you, Watanabe-san!"

That guy has such a loud voice! Sendou then apologized to Sawamura -Watanabe-senpai.

"No! If it weren't like this, it wouldn't feel like Sawamura!" Watanabe-senpai replied with a smile.

"So what's the matter?"

"I almost forgot!"

"Come with me now!" As always, Sawamura rushed over and tried to drag the person away.

Happy New Year everyone!

I originally planned to have some 5-liter bottles of wine for 10 yuan with dinner, but then I thought better of it to avoid getting sleepy and being unable to type.

Did anyone watch the Spring Festival Gala tonight? I'd completely forgotten there was even a Spring Festival Gala. Although even if I did remember, I probably wouldn't watch it...

I'm going to have some sleep-inducing drinks now. Goodnight everyone.

Finally, I'm asking for your votes...
