Spring Koshien Opening

After returning from the break, Sendou regained his focus, and his training began getting back on track.

"Didn't you say you had a promising junior?

Well, so do I. I'll have a junior I'm very satisfied with next year!" On the night Sendou returned to school from Captain Tetsu's house, he unusually took the initiative to compose a text message for a certain white-haired guy.

"Interesting!

Then I'll come test his worth in the spring!"

The reply came almost instantly!

As for Narumiya bragging to Sendou about his junior, Akamatsu Shinji...

That happened during Seidou's finals against Yakushi, when the white-haired guy sent that text.

However, Sendou did not reply until several days later, and naturally, what he said was not particularly nice. It pissed him off badly!

"Ah!

But isn't it strange?

The junior you like plays the same position as you!

Aren't pitchers supposed to repel each other? How come you haven't developed any Fighting Spirit?!" Sendou naturally did not think Tetsu's Younger Brother would fail to make the First Team in spring, so he continued teasing Narumiya Mei. (If there were even signs that he might not make it, Sendou would probably put him through special training. Otherwise, wouldn't that be humiliating...)

"Hmph!

Who do you think you're talking to?

He's a hundred years too early for that!!!" Narumiya Mei instantly sent back an extremely smug and confident reply.

"I see!

Even stranger, the junior I have my eye on is a batter!!

That Tetsu-san's little brother!

A pitcher and a batter, just like us! And they're in the same year too!"

"Oh?

So you admit we're rivals now?

Sendou!!

/smirking emoji!"

"No! I just think that since you can't beat me, you can shift your focus to having your junior beat mine!

/evil grin emoji!" Sendou
