"It is the ace's duty to suppress the opponent to zero points!"

During the broadcast, coach Mihara said these words seriously.

As the pitcher who had just struck out three batters from Sobu High, Takamiki straightened his back, raised his hand and pushed down the brim of his baseball cap, without saying a word, a picture of his achievements and fame. appearance.

"But! Obviously, Takami-kun still has many shortcomings as an ace. After all, our Hojo-kun just scored one run from him, and it was a clean home run.

The ball flew away with a bang. Player Takami Shu was stunned and stood there in a daze. Fortunately, this is not Koshien, otherwise that silly look would have been captured by the camera and shown on the big screen. "

Coach Mihara laughed wildly and kept teasing Shikumiya Gao. It was completely impossible to see the previous "I just gave up the court to Shikumiya Taka and everyone helped them pick up the ball. What's this...", it was obvious that he had found the right way to get along with Hojo Kyosuke.

Hiding in the crotch and outputting wildly.

This picture of a villain succeeding also successfully aroused the anger of the people in the high school of Lu Gong. His ace had already struck out three opponents, and now there was no way out.

"I know everyone has their reasons for having to lose."

The coach of Shikumiya Gao said in a deep voice, and the players formed a circle around him.

Ojo Takashi nodded heavily and looked at his ace with a very unkind look.

"but!"

The coach said sadly:

"The best opportunity to lose the game has been missed!"

Having said this, he gestured with his eyes in the direction of the rostrum, where Mihara Shozo was still chattering to the audience about how great Hojo Kyosuke's bat was. In his words, Hojo Kyosuke seems to have become a baseball genius who is about to beat America's dad. The strategy is divided into three steps, first to win the little deer Miyataka, then to win Koshien, and finally to conquer the Major League Baseball.

This guy had a loud voice. After seeing his ticket player hit a home run, he went crazy with joy. He didn't know how to connect to Sobu High School's campus radio line, which would be broadcast throughout the school. Fortunately, there was no one in the school during the holidays, but he summoned everyone who was in the club building before. The ones from the mahjong club came directly carrying tables and mahjong, and the people from the game club came with claw machines...

Anyway, it’s all about playing, and there is a live broadcast here to watch. For a moment, the sports field was so busy that it felt like a sports festival had been held in advance.

"When our kendo club participates in the club relay race, we have to wear full protective gear and hold bamboo swords, and the judo club has to run carrying mats, so why doesn't the mahjong club have to run carrying their mahjong table?"

Hikigaya Hachiman questioned, he didn't even win the consolation prize in the shopping street lottery, but he was actually selected to participate in the relay race in the kendo club lottery. You must know that although running in protective gear is tiring, it is a piece of cake for the beasts of the kendo club. Some fools with nowhere to vent their hormones are rushing to participate. It was because there were so many people who signed up that we chose to draw lots in the end. Hikigaya, who had no intention of participating, won the prize instead.

"Uh-huh-huh-"

Zaimokuza Yoshiki coughed twice and said seriously:

"Don't forget that we are terrifyingly strong this year. Not only do we have Captain Yamauchi Sakura, but we also have His Excellency Assistant Commander Yukinoshita!"

"So?" Hikigaya asked doubtfully. It's impossible to let these two people run for him, right?

"So, let the two adults make suggestions to the Sports Festival Committee. Ask the mahjong club to carry the mahjong table and run, and ask the mahjong on it not to fall. Ask the people in the game club to play games and run, choose the kind that avoids barrages. The game requires that you cannot die once, and if you die, you have to run again. It requires the people in the football club to no longer be as perfunctory as running with the football in their hands, but to run with the ball on their toes, and the land sports department requires them to run backwards. Run, otherwise it will be too unfair..."

Zaimokuza instantly called out all the teams that usually participated in the club relay competition. Hikigaya took a breath when hearing these vicious words.

"What a vicious plot."

Hikigaya Hachiman said in shock, and then his expression changed:

"But I like it."

"Jiejiejiejie——"

The two put their heads together and laughed sinisterly. Hikigaya also suggested that the previous two-person triangle competition be changed to a group running, and directly asked the people in the Mahjong Club to run while playing mahjong.

If you want to ask why they are targeting the mahjong club, it is because they are too envious.

Every day when I walk by the club building after school, I can hear the sound of mahjong clashing. Even now, everyone is standing under the sun watching the game, and the bastards from the Mahjong Club sit in the shadows of the rostrum, listening to the wind and playing mahjong while watching the game.

Damn it, what a treat!

Seeing this joyful scene, the people in Lu Gonggao's face turned red as if on fire.

Fortunately, I was blocked in the woods before and no one saw me.

"Have you seen these people? They are our bodyguards now."

The coach of Shikumiya Gao said in a deep voice.

"Bodyguard?" the team members asked in confusion.

"Yes, before we were worried that Hojo Kyosuke would be angry if we won the game, so we could only lose the game to make him happy, but it's different now!"

The coach showed a confident smile on his face:

"First of all, it's because that idiot Mihara didn't follow the routine and directly put Hojo Kyosuke in the first battalion position. And our high opinion allowed Hojo to score points, so the tactic of walking Hojo completely failed."

"Feel sorry……"

Upon hearing this, Takami Shu immediately bowed and apologized. As an ace, he cannot fail, because he carries the hopes of all his partners.

"It doesn't matter, I can see it. Takami, you are playing better than before. That guy Kyousuke Hojo is really good at swinging the bat."

The coach comforted him without saying anything else. This kind of pressure is necessary food to promote the growth of players.

"The second thing is the people from Sobu High's other clubs! Before, we were worried that winning would make Hojo Kyosuke angry, but now, if we still get beaten, the Sobu High people will realize that Hojo Kyosuke is a narrow-minded person. "

"High~ Coach!"

"Si Guoyi!"

Shikumiya Gao's team members all exclaimed in surprise.

"But... wasn't it because we were beaten for robbing Tugu and their baseball field?"

Takami Shu hesitated.

"Idiot! There is only one reason for us to be beaten! That is because we defeated Hojo Kyosuke and made him angry!"

The coach angrily hit his ace on the head.

"Listen up, gentlemen! Before we had no choice but to lose the game. But now, I just want to win!"

He raised his voice:

"Have you seen those people cheering for Hojo Kyosuke? Can a layman stand on our head, Shikumiya Taka?!"

"No!" the team members shouted.

"Having occupied the Sobu High School Baseball Stadium for so long, will we lose to those weaklings?!"

"Won't!"

"Have you seen that beautiful girl band? Do you want them to play for us?!"

"think!"

After this shout, Shikumiya's coach scratched his head first.

"Well, let's forget about this..."

He had just gone online to find out about Hojo Kyousuke urgently and saw all kinds of tidbits about him. He knew that compared to writing, kendo, and baseball, picking up girls was his main business.

"Yes, yes, forget it." Oshiro Takashi quickly agreed.

"good!"

The coach clapped his hands, and the players, who had been clasping their shoulders and lowering their heads to conspire, straightened up.

"Go, boys, bring victory back to me! Let those weaklings at Sobu High see what true strength is!"

Everyone stretched out their hands and folded their hands together, shouting loudly:

"One, two, three, we will win!"

The majestic Kanamiya Taka and others all walked out of the baseball field, leaving only Takami Shu on the field. Now that they were on offense, Takami stood in the strike zone with his bat raised and began to familiarize himself with the field.

In the Neon High School baseball world, this is generally the case in schools. The ace pitcher is also the ace hitter. The gap between people cannot be bridged by hard work. Even if a person with athletic talent focuses most of his energy on pitching, others cannot match him in the strike zone. Only the truly elite baseball schools can attract many talents with different talents.

The members of the Sobu High Baseball Club, just like Shikumiya High School before them, walked onto the baseball field in unison, and heavily guarded the first, second and third base and outfield.

What, it doesn’t feel as terrifying and oppressive as the people in the Kendo Club.

After glancing around, Takami Shu let out a long sigh of relief.

He really thought he was going to die when he was surrounded by people from the Sobu High Kendo Club. Now it seems that even though they also belong to Hojo Kyosuke's club, the people in the baseball club are still the same trash as ever.

Although everyone looked serious, he had a feeling in his heart that he could easily defeat the opponent's defense.

Whoosh——whoosh——

He swung the bat twice.

"Such a waste, watch me beat you all away!"

The man wearing the catcher's protective gear walked to the designated position and squatted down. Takami Shu asked in surprise:

"Fujikawa? Aren't you Sobu High's ace pitcher? Why did you become a catcher?"

Masako Fujikawa raised his head and glanced at his opponent through his helmet, and said seriously:

"I didn't have a choice before, but now I just want to catch Hojo-kun's ball with all my strength."

Takami Shu was startled and stammered: "H-Hojo-kun? Is he going to pitch again?"

"Yes, what's so strange about this? He is our Ace, the ace!"

Masako Fujikawa glanced at Takami Shu without knowing why, and thought to himself, aren't you also a two-swordsman who shoots and fights at the same time? Nothing so strange.

"But pitching is completely different from playing ball!"

Takamiki said with some urgency: "In batting, it can be said that Hojo Kyosuke used his kendo experience in baseball, but pitching is a completely different sport. Without a lot of practice, it is impossible to get results!"

Masajo Fujikawa exclaimed in enlightenment when he heard this.

Yes, that’s it.

Before I saw Hojo-kun pitch for the first time, didn’t I think the same as Takamiki?

Thinking this, Fujikawa glanced at the high ace of Shikumiya with complicated eyes, and said with pity:

"Takami, don't blink, you will see what true genius is."

Without waiting for the other party to speak, he said again:

"I remember your ball speed was around 130, right?"

Takamiki quickly retorted: "When we faced Hojo-san before, that goal should have exceeded 135!"

Fujikawa looked at his old rival in surprise and said, "Siguoyi, if you can keep it up at the beginning of the preliminaries, there might be a glimmer of hope."

"Hahaha, I have put in so much effort to reach this speed!" Gao Jianshu laughed.

"But."

Fujikawa Masashi shook his head and sighed:

"When Hojo-kun first pitched, his speed reached 135 kilometers."

"Huh?"

"With no baseball experience in the past, and even without watching a baseball game, he threw a 135-kilometer speed with an amateurish posture."

Fujikawa sighed and said that this was the biggest factor that made him determined to switch from a pitcher to a catcher.

It is impossible for anyone to catch the ball of such a Hojo-kun except himself, the ace pitcher.

The duty of the ace is to throw a good ball to strike out the opponent and suppress the opponent's score to zero.

And his duty as a catcher is to catch every ball of Hojo-kun and assist the ace to suppress the opponent.

"The whole team can fall, but the ace can't fall."

In baseball, the ace exists like this.

That's why Takamiki, who struck out three batters of Sobu High School, still apologized. The ace can't make mistakes.

In the Koshien stadium, the ones who cry the loudest and saddest are often the ace. Carrying the hopes of the whole team, the whole school, and even the whole county, the huge psychological pressure is enough to crush anyone.

Fortunately, my school can't make it to Koshien.

Takamiki secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he saw a figure walking up to the opposite pitcher's mound.

Adjusting the brim of his baseball cap, Hojo Kyosuke smiled kindly at Takamiki on the opposite side. The opponent's straight ball just now was exactly what he wanted. It was as standard as a pitching machine, and it felt super good to hit.

Bang——

The baseball bat in Takami's hand suddenly fell to the ground, scaring Fujikawa Masao next to him to curse, but when he looked up, he saw Takami's pale face.

"Hey, did you feel it?" he asked with a smile.

"Well..."

Takami bent down and picked up the bat.

"It's different, completely different."

He whispered:

"Before, when I saw Ryota Tsuchiya and the others standing in the defense area, I felt that I could easily destroy your defense line..."

"Hey, hey, what are you talking about? You guys also..."

"But the moment Hojo Kyosuke stood on the pitcher's mound, I felt..."

Takami tightened his grip on the bat, and he felt a repressive atmosphere, as if he was sealed.
