No Hesitation

"You understand now, right, Mishima-zai?

As long as there are runners on base before Raichi, the other side will be under enormous pressure!!" Seeing Mishima lower his head, Raizo Todoroki knew he had understood what he needed to do.

"Damn it!

I never intended to admit defeat, especially not to guys from my generation!

That's why I made a list...

The ones I have to defeat are the ones whose strength I acknowledge to be above my own!!!

Damn it!!

I didn't want to add any more names to it!" Mishima glared at Sawamura like he wanted to devour him whole.

"Pff!"

"Well, whatever!

"Pff!"

"Whoosh!"

"Hm?"

"Crack!!"

"Cutter!!" Mishima shouted the pitch type in his heart as he swung, as if venting his frustration.

"Left field!!!"

"The ball flies to left field!

...Mishima's hit after that prolonged battle!!!"

"Run!!!" A cry of alarm rose from both Seidou and the Key stands. That ball
