"Speaking of which, Mukai-kun really does have a lot of Low Ball!" Owada Akiko exclaimed sincerely after watching both games.

"Ah! Seidou must be trying their best to aim for easy balls too!"

But the easy balls just won't come...

Even if you get entangled, you'll eventually have to take some of the tougher shots!

Mukai-kun precisely controlled his pitch to the corner, behind which stood an impenetrable defensive wall!

"Although Sendou-kun's attack was extremely dangerous, it will still be very difficult for Seidou to defeat this ever-victorious army!" Mine Fujio said.

"We can't lose!" Before going on stage, Furuya looked at Mukai with fighting Fighting Spirit.

Mukai's gaze also turned to Furuya.

In the third inning, Teitou's starting batter was Mukai, making it a duel between the two pitchers.

Sawamura noticed the two people staring at each other, his gaze frantically switching back and forth between Mukai Furuya.

"Today's opponents won't use any underhanded tricks!"

"Just focus on dealing with your opponent and winning the fight." Miyuki finally gave Furuya this advice.

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Bad ball!"

"So fast!" Mukai exclaimed after watching the first ball go.

The true speed of this kind of Fastball can only be felt in the Batter's Box.

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Nice shot!"

The second ball was high to the outside corner, which was supposed to be Ball Trajectory easy shot, but Mukai still missed.

"On the contrary, they're using force to suppress them relentlessly!"

"Ah!

It seems he hasn't thrown a single Changeup yet.

Miyuki-kun's pitch selection was also bolder than usual, probably because of the rain!

"We can't lose!!"

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Ping!"

"It hurts!"

"Smack!"

"Out!"

The ball barely made it out of the infield, but that was all.

After Mukai was eliminated, the rain started to get heavier again.

In this situation, Seidou faced off against Teitou's powerful batting lineup in the second round.

"Out of the game!"

"Let him call!"

The athletes in the arena started cheering for Furuya.

"This rain is really heavy!"

Does the referee not intend to stop the game?

"Akatsuki! Hang in there!" Sendou tilted his head and looked at the sky, thinking to himself.

The reason for tilting the head is to prevent rainwater from getting into the eyes, because baseball caps have long brims, so the angle is also very high.

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Bad ball!"

"Changeup?" Owada Akiko asked, puzzled, upon seeing the Rebound Ball.

"No! It's a straight shot!"

It was like being forcefully slammed into the ground!

"With such heavy rain, it's easy to lose your grip on the ball, isn't it?" The experienced Mine Fujio immediately revealed the secret.

Seeing Furuya's expression, Miyuki called for a timeout and walked towards the Pitcher's Mound.

"Do you care a lot?"

"Okay!" Furuya nodded obediently.

"But... you deliberately threw the ball down to prevent it from flying too high, right?"

"Hey!... I'm afraid the ball will get out of control!"

"Hmph! That'll do!"

If it's Wild Pitch that flies over your head, there's nothing anyone can do about it!

If it's just Rebound Ball, I would never miss catching it behind me!

"Don't be afraid to throw bad balls, throw them all you want!" Miyuki said with a smile.

"Hi!"

"It's raining heavily now, so we need to apply more anti-slip powder!"

"Um!"

Seeing Furuya nod, Miyuki went back reassured.

"With rain this heavy, even I wouldn't dare let him throw the Fast Forkball so easily!" Miyuki made up his mind on the way.

"Bring it on!"

Since they are both straight balls, just with different Ball Trajectory, Miyuki's current approach is simply to go all out and use Furuya's powerful shots to overwhelm the opponent, without needing to think too much.

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Bad ball!"

"Don't worry about it!" Miyuki made a reassuring gesture to Furuya.

Encouraged by Miyuki, Furuya felt there was nothing to be afraid of anymore.

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Ping!"

"Ah!!"

Seeing the ball land smoothly in right field, Kajiyama couldn't help but shout.

"Finally got my second hit!"

"As expected of the second-round lineup!"

"Teitou will definitely want a share!"

The two batters from Teitou adopted a short-handed stance.

"This kind of rain... I don't want Furuya to overthink things. Let's use the power of a straight shot to make them submit!"

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!!"

"That's really impressive! There are still runners!"

Does this mean they want to prioritize targeting the attackers?

"There was absolutely no hesitation in throwing them in!" The two reporters continued their conversation.

"The first goal has been taken back!"

It seems like they genuinely want a short-sleeved outfit!

Moreover, a completely different Signals... that supervisor!

"Don't underestimate me, I've been following Sendou for so long!" Miyuki gave the Signals for the next shot.

Miyuki secretly glanced at Teitou's bench.

It was discovered that the supervisor of Teitou had no similarities to the previous Signals.

Coupled with the chain reaction from the previous direct attack, Miyuki boldly took the initiative to attack.

Teitou runner crouched down again, and the hitter assumed a short-range fighting stance once more.

"Don't think about anything else! Focus on dealing with the attacker!"

"Leave the runners to me!"

"Puff!"

"Stealing a base!!"

"No! It's Hit and Run!!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"The shot missed!"

"Didn't hit it!"

Several gasps rang out from the sidelines, and the coach of Teitou looked astonished.

"Just as I expected!" Miyuki stood up and easily caught the ball that had gone astray. As he caught the ball, his lower body was already in the motion to throw the ball.

"Call out!"

The ball flew over Furuya's head at an incredible speed.

Smack!!!

"Out!"

Kuramochi's Backup Position was also incredibly fast, and the three members of Seidou, Ichifujiro and Ichifujiro, displayed amazing teamwork.

Miyuki, having removed his mask, smiled at Furuya.

In that instant, Furuya felt healed.

The runner was eliminated instantly, and in just a moment, the situation changed from one out, runner on first base, one strike and no ball to two outs, no runner, two strikes and no ball.

The reason is simply the judgment Miyuki made based on the first ball and the opponent's reaction; this guy has also grown a lot.

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Ping!"

"A midfielder!"

"Ku! ku! ku!"

"Smack!"

"So fast!"

Because of Sendou-kun's presence, this ball turned into a high-flying ball!

This guy waited at the landing point for more than a second!

"No matter how many times I watch it, I still think this guy's speed is just too unfair!"

I'd love to know his base-to-base speed in seconds.

"I really want to know that too!"

I also want to know his 100-meter speed!

Is Sendou-kun fit to participate in track and field sprints now?

That speed!

"Wow! Even if you don't know anything about sprinting techniques, this speed alone is enough to drive anyone crazy!"

The final elimination, ironically, prompted idle viewers to comment on Sendou's speed.

"Nice ball!! Furuya!"

"Great shot!"

"Keep going!"

"Do you still have any bodysuits?" Sendou asked as he walked over to Furuya.

"Yes! There's one more!" Furuya answered obediently.

Because Sendou had already told him that in order to prevent his body from getting cold, he shouldn't be stingy with changing clothes.

Therefore, his bodysuit was worn out very quickly.

"Change into it when you get back!"

"You can take it from me later; you should know where I put mine!"

"Mmm!" At this moment, Furuya was such a good boy!

"That person is really amazing!"

Although his ball control isn't quite there yet, the speed of that ball is no joke!

The contrast between soft and hard pitchers makes for a truly interesting pitching battle!

Guangzhou, which side of the ball do you want to receive?

It was definitely the right decision to come watch this game!

"It's a shame the rain today is such a spoilsport!" Seto, the bespectacled owner of a Little Wolf Cub in the stands, said excitedly.

Seeing that his own wolf cubs were ignoring him, he continued to lament to himself.

"It might not even be a pitcher's game!"

The key is the second round of the four batters for both sides! The Little Wolf Cub finally spoke after a long while.

"Hey! That's not the point of the conversation, is it?"

"And at this rate, Seidou's fourth batter won't be able to play until the next inning at the earliest!" Seto Takuma complained helplessly.

In the bottom of the third inning, Seidou's starting batter was Maezono, the seventh batter.

Maezono only managed three goals, while Tojo persisted for five, making him the one who persisted the longest.

Maezono's tactic of waiting for easy pitches to wear down the pitcher is ineffective.

The inning ended with No Hit for the day!

The fourth inning was the test for Furuya, the Center Batting Lineup, with the third batter as the lead hitter.

Teitou definitely wants to get a point here!

"The rain has gotten heavier again!"

"Although it's a little less than the last one..." Sendou complained wildly about today's rain.

Today he has someone to vent to.

"I have this feeling... the rain always gets heavier every time it's our turn to be on guard duty today?" (Koharu, Kuramochi)

"If you don't keep a close eye on it, you'll never know where the ball will go!" As an infielder, Maezono did a pretty good job.

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Nice shot!"

"He can even swing slowly! He's really something else!"

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Ping!"

"Hahaha!"

"Smack!"

"Out!"

"Out of the game!"

"Keep going!"

"Great throw, Furuya!"

"Fourth batter! Catcher, Inui!"

"Keep using your ball power to suppress him!"

There are no runners now, so just throw them at us with all your might!

The rain is getting heavier, and both sides are in the same boat!

In this level of rain, the rain's impact on visibility is like a partner to your Fastball! Miyuki still didn't change the Signals.

And it means a head-on showdown!

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Ping!"

"Yoshi! Another hit!!"

"And it's Long Hit!!"

"Make sure your arm swing is complete, and apply plenty of anti-slip powder!!"

"The ball just landed there because we were unlucky!" Miyuki shouted to Furuya.

"Please! Sumida-senpai!!"

"One more, please!"

"Five sticks! Backbone, Sumida-kun!"

It was the turn of the Center Batting Lineup batter to sweep the bases, and there was a runner on second base.

Teitou saw a glimmer of hope in scoring!

It seems that the fickle Taiyou is our companion today!

Sumida!

They didn't throw a single Changeup today!

And there's a runner on second base!

First goal!

"Aim for the straight shot and decide the outcome in one go!" Coach Okamoto of Teitou shouted the Signals with his hands clenched like canine teeth.

"Black-bellied Glasses!"

With no outs, runners on second base, and batters in fifth place, they're bound to fight tooth and nail here!

"You should know better than anyone else!" Sendou gave Miyuki had just reached home base, a deep look.

"Bring it on!

As long as it's Rebound Ball!

"I absolutely will not let it slip behind me!" Miyuki gave the Signals expressionlessly!

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Nice shot!"

"This... this is the time to throw Fast Forkball?"

"This guy... isn't he afraid of Yibu at all?" Coach Okamoto was genuinely shocked this time.

If this situation is resolved and the player escapes capture, Kenken Ken will definitely run straight to third base, which is equivalent to giving away a run for free!

Miyuki's audacity once again surprised him!

If Coach Okamoto was merely shocked, the batter must be questioning his very existence right now.

But in the end, Sumida decided to stick to the straight shot, feeling that the Fast Forkball was just a disruption of rhythm.

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Good shot!! Two!!"

Then he learned his lesson...

"This is too reckless... this catcher!!!"

Flames are burning there too!!

Why don't players like that come to our school? Coach Okamoto was even more surprised when he saw the second Fast Forkball, and he saw a raging fire burning in Miyuki.

It wasn't that he was particularly shocked by Miyuki; after all, he was a recognized genius catcher back in junior high school.

Just like when Coach Okamoto was interviewed and asked what baseball meant to him.

His answer was, "Flame! The intense collision of the coach's and player's souls sparks forth—that's what flames are all about!"

His explanation was that no matter how advanced the technology or how complete the environment and equipment, if the person fighting on the court is an empty shell, they cannot win a real duel.

Such a passionate coach naturally wants to mentor such passionate players!

However, what he didn't know was that Coach Kataoka's passion was no less than his own; otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed Miyuki Sendou to act so willfully and recklessly.

This kind of player, who uses their own brain and engages in fierce battles with their opponents, will definitely be suppressed by those who prefer a more conservative approach if they lack passion.

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Ping!"

"Smack!"

"Out of the game!!"

"Second out!"

"Well done! You bastard!"

"Focus on dealing with the attackers, Furuya!"

"Take them down in one fell swoop!!"

"It feels so bad!"

"Go back and get a bodysuit from Sendou-san!" Furuya remained as indifferent as ever.

"Before that..." Suddenly, Furuya's tone changed, and his eyes Furuya.

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Nice shot!"

"Thump!!!"

"The enemy is not in front of you... but in your own heart!"

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Nice shot!"

"The attacker is out!!"

"Three outs, change of game!!"

Furuya suddenly displayed extraordinary concentration, leaving the six batters utterly helpless.

They had no choice but to surrender!
