Senior Asou Wants to Stand Out

"Oh! He got him!" Only after Osada was struck out did Furuya let out a belated sigh of relief.

That previous swing had really scared the kid!

Because Sendou existed, Ochiai certainly did not dare imagine anyone being invincible.

Before facing Sendou, everyone had to be prepared to get
