Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 11 Jiang Guxiao comes on stage!
This is not to increase the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige.

But seek truth from facts and evaluate objectively.

This is not to say that with his or Tojo's pitching, there is no way to compete with these second- and third-year seniors.

As the ace of the top four in the country, the number one star in Hokkaido...

Even if the opponent is the second runner-up of the Seido High School baseball team, they can still fight if they are well prepared.

The real problem arises with other people.

Without supervision and on-site command, the new players unknowingly messed up.

They all worked on their own and wanted to perform well at the beginning and impress the supervisor.

But they soon discovered that compared with those second- and third-grade seniors, their thin arms and legs were simply not good enough.

The self-confidence they had managed to build up from high school was completely destroyed.

Minister Ohta’s worries came true.

Akatsuki Fukitani wants to play against these second- and third-year seniors while suppressing his own ball speed, so he relies heavily on his teammates.

But obviously.

His current teammates have no way of supporting him in this regard.

In this way, even if Akatsuki Furuya is replaced, he may not be much better than Tojo.

"Do we still have to rely on ball speed to make a blockbuster success?"

Furitani turned around and glanced at the team of second- and third-year seniors. The team's ace pitcher Koichiro Tanha, the main rotation pitcher Kawakami, and the backup catcher...

They are all players of Qingdao First Army.

In order to test the newcomers, these people all appeared on the second and third grade teams.

This is not counting.

There is also Toru Masuko, a representative figure who looks particularly strong and, in Kusunoki-senpai's words, mentally ill.

In the team in front of them, nearly half of the players from the first army appeared.

In addition to making it more difficult for newcomers, Kataoka also wants to test them to a large extent.

From the perspective of Director Kataoka, he killed three birds with one stone.

But for first-year rookie players, this situation is somewhat cruel.

After the second game, Tojo's performance was slightly better, and other players gradually regained their composure.

But even so, the freshmen lost 4 points.

In just two games, the freshman team lost 12 points.

The disparity between the two teams makes people dare not look directly at it.

All the fans who came specially to watch the welcome game were extremely disappointed.

"This year's newcomers are completely unattractive."

"The top four pitchers in the country, I didn't expect him to be an embroidered pillow."

"You can't blame the kid entirely. Their opponent is the Second Qingdao Army after all!"

The audience was talking a lot, and Tojo put a towel on his face, no longer as high-spirited as before.

"Fang Guxiao!"

Director Kataoka once again mentioned Furiya’s name.

Fang Guxiao stood up immediately.

Although he also wanted to have a good exchange with the second and third grade seniors to see their strength.

But through the simulation he just performed, Fang Guxiao probably already knows the result.

This result was obviously something he couldn't accept.

What he has to do now is to advance to the first army.

Under this premise, it seems that he can only pitch with all his strength.

The eyes of the second and third grade seniors, especially Tanba Koichiro, flashed with excitement.

He obviously also wanted to have a good fight with Fang Guxiao.

"You get to the left fielder's position!"

Director Kataoka continued.

Although Akatsuki Fukitani was scheduled to play, he was not in the pitching position at first.

Instead, use him as an outfielder.

This is also... not only the first-year newcomers, but also the second- and third-year players, as well as the people outside the stadium are a little confused.

Why let Xiao Fanggu become an outfielder?

He's obviously a pitcher, right?

Kataoka did not answer everyone's questions, and even ignored Sawamura who was eager to give it a try.

Another rookie pitcher was selected to continue the game.

The boy with glasses sitting in the corner had a smile on his face after seeing this scene.

"The supervision is really cruel, even using such a method!"

"You brat, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Faced with the senior's questioning, Miyuki Kazuya smiled and said: "The junior boy in our dormitory is amazing. During the freshman test, he threw the ball more than 130 meters. Now if he goes on the field to throw a ball, whether he is in the second or third grade Players, whether they are first-year players, will have different expectations. As a result, the 12 points scored by the second- and third-year players will not mean much."

Akatsuki Fukitani was initially assigned to the outfield.

Even if he really has any ability, he can't show it at all on the court.

In this way, the new students miss an opportunity to rebuild their morale.

of course.

In addition to this reason, Director Kataoka also wanted to test whether Akatsuki Furuya could gain a foothold in other positions?

This is also important once he is promoted to the First Army.

"Isn't this too unfair to that little guy?"

When Miyuki heard the third-year senior giving an injustice to his opponent, Miyuki took the initiative to give him a thumbs up.

"Senior, great atmosphere!"

Although he praised the senior, Miyuki did not agree with the senior's words.

Isn't it fair to Fanggu Xiao?

He didn't feel it at all.

in contrast.

Akatsuki Fukigu, who has yet to pitch, is probably already on their supervisor's list.

As long as Jiang Guxiao's performance is not too bad.

After this competition, he should be a player in the first army.

It was this special respect that made Director Kataoka make such an arrangement.

Fang Guxiao's performance can almost be described as fishing.

Although the freshman team dropped several points.

But the baseball failed to hit left field, no matter how many hits and runs it lost.

There was nothing Xiao Fang Gu could do.

He could only watch helplessly as their freshmen lost more and more points.

Just when Feng Guxiao thought he was going to fish in two games, an unexpected opportunity appeared.

In the first half of the fourth inning, the freshman team attacked.

With two outs and no one on base.

It's Akatsuki Fang's turn, come on and attack!
He hasn't had time to get on the mound and compete with Dumbo on the pitch.

I had a shooting duel with Tanba-senpai.

Seeing Akatsuki Fanggu come on to attack, the second and third grade seniors all stretched their necks.

They have been looking forward to this scene for a long time.

"Senior Tanba, educate this brat!"

"Who does he think he is?"

"Shiver!"

Just as everyone was expressing support, several people walked over from a distance.

A figure with a mustache frowned when he saw the scene of the game.

"What do you guys do for a living? We played three games and only won by more than ten points! Give me 200 points back! Danbo..."

This is obviously a player from the First Army who has just returned from training.
