Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

"What are you doing, you bastard! You are playing this kind of game with the first graders, and you got two hundred points!" Isashiki Jun shouted loudly, and everyone from the first army arrived.

"Jun-senpai, two hundred points is too ridiculous, isn't it?!" Kuramochi joked at the side.

"It's so shameful to be beaten so humiliatingly!" Ryosuke said while finishing the attack.

"Substitute for me, I want to play!" Isashiki Jun rushed directly to the court and was hugged by Kuramochi from behind.

"Jun-senpai, this can't be done! You just finished a lot of heavy training!" Kuramochi admonished.

"Just watch quietly, Jun. That guy is the one who struck out your respected Higashi-senpai! Then you didn't see it then!" Yuki Tetsuya said calmly.

"What, it's him!" Senior Chun said angrily.

Sawamura on the court knew nothing about this and was still immersed in the excitement of pitching the ball right away.

"Boy, what kind of ball do you know how to throw? You said so much, if you throw random balls for me, I won't let you go!" Kariba asked.

"Hahaha! Don't worry, I won't run away or hide. All the votes will be red!" Kurosawa's loud voice was heard in the lounge. He is indeed Sawamura-san! But it's normal that with his current strength, he can't control the ball at all. Even if his ball hits the red, it's not easy to hit. It's very interesting!

"Nani?!━Σ(?Д?|||)━"

"I will vote for them, and then I'll leave it to you! Hahahaha!" Sawamura said confidently.

"This guy must be an idiot, right?!"

"Still a super idiot!" Everyone was worried, and the freshman defense started in the second half of the sixth inning.

"Hahaha, that shot just now was fortunate that the outfield was deep enough to save him!"

"I think it's only a matter of time before this guy gets beaten up!"

As expected, the first senior was easily caught by an outfielder at the start of the game. Kurosawa listened to the chatter in his ears and thought: It would be great if it was so simple and easy to hit. If you underestimate this guy's ball so much, then Maybe he will get a clean sheet!

Miyuki was also gloating on the other side and thinking: What's the best straight shot? ! If you don't discover the quality of this guy's balls quickly, you will suffer a lot! I don’t know how Minano’s attack will be, I’m really looking forward to it!

Seeing Sawamura showing off his power on the field and easily defeating the seniors with three strikes and three strikes, the freshmen cheered with joy! Everyone felt that this was not Sawamura's skill but that it was saved by the defense. For a while, they felt confident in their own skills. The freshmen's mood became high and their momentum also increased.

At the end of the sixth game, offense and defense exchanged!

"Okay, the game isn't over yet! Let's get on base first!" Listening to Sawamura's loud voice on the other side.

"Ah! What kind of ball do you know!? Kurosawa! We can't let the first-year players get carried away and suppress their momentum." Keisuke Miyauchi, a third-year player, said before taking the field.

"Hey! Me! I can only throw straight balls! (′-w-`)" Kurosawa said with a slight smile.

"What, only direct (o﹃o)" Miyauchi Keisuke felt like a bolt from the blue, we are not going to be beaten by the other side by 200 points, right? ! ∑(O_O;)

"Okay, okay (?????) Relax, no matter where your glove is placed, I will hit it. You just need to match the ball according to your idea, but all I throw are straight balls." That's all." Kurosawa patted Miyauchi's shoulder and smiled slightly.

"Then let's play!" Miyauchi could only act as a doctor and walked towards home plate.

Kurosawa was thinking on the pitcher's mound: There is no way, my pitching needs good fielding support, and the most important thing in professional baseball is fielding. Qingdao's defense is also very good. If I were in the freshman team today, I might be finished, but unfortunately I am in the second- and third-year team!

Kurosawa looked at Miyauchi's glove and threw the first pitch of the day casually.

"call out"

"bang"

The "good shot" is very slow and a bit ridiculous. The ball speed is only 120, and it feels like it can be hit at any time.

"This is a second-year guy! Is there such a slow pitcher in Qingdao!?"

Is Kurosawa okay? I haven't caught the ball from him before? I do not know either? But just now, except for the slower speed and the position, everything was exactly the same, Miyauchi thought silently.

Kurosawa looked at the freshman standing in the strike zone and thought: He should be very happy now! I feel like I can hit the next pitch at any time, and I’m already starting to fantasize about hitting a home run! Kurosawa knows very well that people who play for the first time or who have never heard of their own game often feel that they can beat themselves with the next ball, but this is just an unrealistic delusion.

Kurosawa looked ahead with a smile and continued to throw the second ball.

"call out"

"It's so heavy and completely different from the previous one, but my gloves haven't moved at all!" Miyauchi murmured.

The metal bat passed by the ball, and the bat had already reached the home plate catcher's glove after swinging half way.

"I just got the ball so fast Σ(?д?;)" It's actually not very fast, but the 140 ball speed feels super fast compared to before.

Kurosawa didn't give the freshman any room to think, and playfully threw another 125. Looking at the opponent's completely crooked batting posture, he calmly arranged the pitcher's mound.

"out"

Kurosawa thought: I feel like I am bullying a child! But forget it, I haven’t regained the highest ball speed yet, so I don’t feel like I’m being bullied ╮(ˉ▽ˉ)╭ And I’m just throwing straight balls. If it were the first team, I think they would all hit home runs. This kind of ball can only be used to bully freshmen.

Kurosawa quickly went up and down three times, using various fast and slow balls alternately and precise ball control. The freshmen either swung early and late or didn't play well and were caught by the defense, which ended the game perfectly.

"Oh haha! Didn't you expect that Minano's character is so bad? (????) It's actually this kind of pitching!" Miyuki grinned at Kuramochi and said, seeing that the momentum of the freshmen was not as good as before, Already mired in self-doubt.

"Hahaha, that's right. You can't tell at all. No wonder he and you are so familiar. They have the same chemistry! I'll have to stay away from you in the future!" Kuramochi shuddered next to him.

In the second half of the seventh game, Sawamura came on the field again. The first one on the senior side to hit was Masuko-senpai.

"It's over! Masuko-senpai might as well hit a home run this time! After all, Sawamura's ball speed is so slow!" Kurosawa laughed in the dugout.

"Hahaha, it's really interesting. We're competing against each other in the same dormitory! What do you think of Masuko-senpai's recent hitting performance?!" On the sidelines, Kuramochi turned his head and looked at Miyuki, holding his stomach and laughing.

"It can be said that the situation is excellent, with three hits and six RBIs. In order to return to the first team, he is very motivated! I think he must have discovered Sawamura's golf quality! After this battle, you can know Sawamura's So powerful!" Miyuki smiled.

On the court, Sawamura was not afraid to throw his special quirk ball at Masuko-senpai. A talent that has not been polished cannot be called a colorful change ball!

It's a pity that catchers don't have the talent to miss the ball. I saw Sawamura posing quickly and throwing the second ball. This ball was hit hard but it was a foul ball. At this time, Sawamura felt a faint threat but became more and more excited, and confidently threw his third ball.

"Bang!" Senior Masuko hit it hard. The ball was completely bitten and flew far, far away.

"Sawamura, what will you do this time!" Kurosawa quickly saw Sawamura's reply.

"Okay, let's get back on our feet!" Sawamura said happily.

"That guy doesn't feel any pain at all!"

Kurosawa looked at Sawamura, who was still full of energy on the field, and listened to the comments about Sawamura around him, thinking: Is this a mentality that the ignorant are fearless, or will it remain unchanged in the future? Let me see the truth on the field! I've seen too many people fall down on the field and never get back up.

Watching Sawamura quickly get the number of eliminations, ending the round.

At the beginning of the first half of the eighth game, Kurosawa listened to Miyauchi's questioning voice beside him: "Is it still the same as before??"

"Well, you just need to give me the position where I need to throw the ball, and I will throw it no matter where it is." Kurosawa gently comforted Miyauchi.

"Okay, let's go on stage!"

Kurosawa quickly used fast and slow balls to deal with the two freshmen in front of him, and casually tidied the pitcher's mound.

Kurosawa calmly looked at the third freshman on the stage, wow! It's spring market! So maybe I need a little more strength? Otherwise, I will be kicked out. In order to repay you for showing me a good show, I will pitch to you!

Kurosawa held the ball in his hand and thought: What kind of ball should I throw? It feels like it’s easy to hit a fast ball or a slow ball! After all, I still can't control Jiugong with a ball speed of over 145. Well, then I can only throw fast and slow balls or slow and fast balls! (I made up the name randomly, it refers to the illusion ball that looks fast/slow but is actually very slow/fast) So be it!

"Whoosh!" The ball shot out like a sharp sword. Seeing such a fast ball, Haruichi immediately gripped the bat and swung it, but the ball came too late.

"Strike"

"call out"

"Strike"

The ball seemed to be slow. Haruichi thought it was a slow ball and prepared to hit it again, but before he could swing the baseball, it went into the catcher's glove.

"Oh, yeah, I think I was a little too funny! But it's a bit difficult to score a ball like that! I don't have high requirements, it doesn't matter if I play or not, but I want to score a goal! After all, I'm sorry for Kazuya But you have to keep an eye on it at all times, after all, it may break at any time!" Kurosawa thought helplessly in his mind and decided to finally throw a changeup ball to Haruichi!

"Phew!" Haruichi looked at the ball in front of him and couldn't find his rhythm at all. He could only wait until the ball was in hand before playing.

"boom"

Seeing this, Haruichi swung the wooden bat confidently but did not hear the belated sound of the baseball entering the glove.

"Out" Haruichi was confused that he could see clearly, but he didn't understand until he heard the comments next to him after he got off the field.

"Change ball!"

"The second grader was throwing a changeup ball, and it changed speed suddenly almost to the edge of the base! The speed difference is also huge!"

"Hahaha, there's something special about this second grade!"

"Hahahaha, Nanye is indeed very bad! That first grader was completely fooled!" Miyuki said (?w?)

"Hahaha, yes, yes! It's too much!" Kuramochi echoed as if watching a show.

"Kazuya, do you know that pitcher? I want to play it too! His ball looks very interesting!" Ryosuke-san asked with a smile, and the team next to him gave out flames of wanting to hit.

I yell??(ˊwˋ*)??Everyone who squints his eyes is a monster. I can already imagine what the protagonist will encounter in the next period of time.

In the second half of the eighth game, Sawamura quickly eliminated the two seniors in front of him. At this time, Kurosawa smiled and walked slowly to the batter's box with a baseball. After saying hello calmly, he smiled and raised his fingers at Sawamura.

"Hahahaha Kurosawa-senpai, I'm coming!" Sawamura shouted.

Kurosawa watched quietly as Sawamura quickly threw out the first pitch and chose to watch the first pitch instead of throwing out the bat.

interesting! What you see in daily life and what you see in the strike zone are completely different! But if I only had this speed, I would hit him directly without any courtesy, Kurosawa thought silently.

Kurosawa waited silently for Sawamura's second ball to reach his hand, and then quickly swung the bat hard.

"boom"

With a "bang" sound, the ball flew far away and hit the fence of the stadium.

"Ding" Kurosawa dropped the bat and ran slowly, returning to the dugout listening to the cheers of his teammates and the discussions around him.

"That swing is so scary Σ(?д?;)"

"Oh oh oh oh! Kurosawa is so awesome!"

"Who is that guy? Why didn't you remember him before the second grade?"

"Qingdao is doing well this year! He actually has a pitcher who can pitch and hit!"

"Oh! Nanye just beat the child in your dormitory out! You should comfort yourself when you go home at night! Hahaha, I hit two home runs today!" Miyuki gloated.

"Hahahaha! It's okay. Sawamura's big heart is absolutely fine, but we really underestimated Minano! We didn't expect him to be so good! It was the first time I played Sawamura's ball. I saw the ball and then hit it." Mochi joked.

The next two players quickly eliminated the remaining batters, and the game ended quickly with the score 20:1.

"The game is over, line up!" Coach Kataoka said.

"Kurosawa Minamino, who has been promoted to the first army, will practice with the first army tomorrow. Kominato Haruichi, Sawamura Eijun and others have been promoted to the second army or above! Dismissed!" Coach Kataoka said majestically.

"Thank you for your advice!" The two teams saluted and left.

"Minano is secretly hiding it! He will train with us tomorrow! Hahaha! Let's go eat!" Miyuki rushed to Kurosawa's side and said.

"Let's go Kazuya! You really love to joke, but I'm still a little behind when it comes to the seniors in the First Army!" Kurosawa complained speechlessly.

"Hahahaha! That's pretty awesome too (??_?)?" Miyuki said.
