Lucky One

"Whew!

Since I'd decided to fight him for a decisive victory, I couldn't hesitate!

Throw it here!!"

Seeing Akiba's Signals, Mishima merely nodded.

There was no such thing as nervousness or fear in this slow-witted guy.

Even if he had those negative emotions, they came afterward...

That was also quite an impressive "talent."

Though slow-witted was still slow-witted...

"Pfft!"

"Boom!!!"

"Whoosh!"

"Smack!"

"Low on the outside edge, strike!!!"

"He didn't swing that time!!" Akiba glanced at Sendou.

"All right!!"

"Booom!!"

"Whoosh!"

"Ping!"

"Foul!"

Looks like he really is in poor condition!" Akiba decisively chose to settle this here.

"I've been waiting for this moment!

The future ace..."

"Pfft!"

"Is mine!!"

"Whoosh!"

"Ping!"

Mishima saw the hard-hit ball come screaming toward his side, right toward his glove, and instinctively reached out for it.

"No! It's too fast, I can't reach it!" Mishima instantly judged that his arm wasn't long enough.

"All right!!" Seidou's
