Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 12 High School Pitching Levels

A player from the first team of Seido High School's baseball team is here.

There seemed to be an aura about them.

The freshman contestants, who were already very nervous, were completely relieved this time.

Many new players have difficulty even speaking.

"How is Tanbo doing today?"

The senior with a mustache asked enthusiastically.

He obviously did this on purpose.

The score on the court was 18:0. If the game could have ended early, the seniors would have ended it long ago.

As a pitcher, Koichiro Tanba has pitched three full innings and is now pitching the fourth inning.

His condition can be seen more or less through the score.

"He's in great shape! The freshmen don't have any chance. It's even hard for them to touch Danbo's ball."

If Koichiro Tanba can maintain this state, their Aomichi High School baseball team will no longer have to worry about the pitcher.

"Recovered."

The senior with a mustache looked proud, "Then why are you still wasting your time here? Give me a boost and let these newcomers go home crying to find their mothers!"

This sound is as harsh as it sounds.

Many freshmen had angry expressions on their faces.

However, thinking about the gap between the two sides and looking at the score on the court, they fell into deep despair.

Tojo, who was the strongest and had high hopes among the new students, had completely collapsed at this time.

He covered his face with a towel and sat dejectedly on the lounge chair, as if he had lost his soul.

Kanemaru clenched his fists unwillingly.

Kanemaru also knew in his heart that he was just incompetent and furious.

Judging from the current situation between the two parties.

Even if the second and third grade seniors were to be replaced later, it would be difficult for them to organize effective resistance.

"It's not over yet, come on! It starts with this blow!!"

A young man, who didn't know when he got involved in the freshman team, started cheering enthusiastically.

"You don't understand anything at all!"

Kanemaru complained.

"The competition is not only about technique, but also about momentum..."

Under the strong pressure of the seniors, the energy and spirit of these freshmen had already dispersed.

Their original technology cannot be used at all.

Even if he occasionally performs brilliantly, he will be completely crushed by the seniors with their powerful strength.

Hopeless!
This time, it was completely hopeless.

"As long as the game is not over, we have a chance. You are still a player from the Youth Baseball League. Don't you even understand this truth?"

The young man acted like a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

As the referee, Kataoka looked at the boy coldly and said nothing.

There was a hint of approval in his eyes under his sunglasses.

The boy who just spoke is named Sawamura Eijun, who was brought back by the deputy director of the baseball department, Rei Takashima.

At that time, the deputy minister commented on Sawamura and mentioned that this young man had a real ace spirit.

Now it seems that these words are not groundless.

"Among the freshmen, this kid is probably the only one who hasn't given up on the competition yet, right?"

Although I think Sawamura Eijun’s approach is silly.

But his spirit still won the praise of many people outside the stadium.

They admired Sawamura quite a lot.

"No! There's one more!"

A chubby man wearing glasses said seriously.

"Who? Why didn't I see it?"

"It's the little guy on the court who is preparing to hit."

After hearing the chubby man's words, a group of melon-eaters immediately focused their attention on the strike zone.Fang Guxiao took a deep breath and lowered his body's center of gravity.

The bat in his hand was raised high and carried behind his back.

It feels like a swordsman preparing to draw his sword.

"Who is this guy?"

"He was just replaced. I haven't heard his name before."

"The nameless man?"

"Probably not. Didn't you see that the eyes of those second- and third-year players are about to spit fire?"

Ever since Akatsuki Furuya came on the field, the second- and third-year players on the Seido High School baseball team seemed to be eating him alive.

This is the hatred they had accumulated before.

The seniors in the second and third grade have long wanted to educate this junior who doesn’t know the heights of the world on the court.

Faced with this sense of oppression, Jiang Guxiao seemed to be nothing.

He completely ignored the pressure around him and concentrated on Danbo who was throwing the ball.

"This little guy is challenging you, Koichiro!"

The catcher, who was squatting on the ground, raised his eyes and motioned to his teammates on the pitcher's mound.

"You don't need to tell me, I've already felt it."

Tanba Koichiro clasped the baseball tightly with his fingers, even though the junior in front of him was only a freshman.

But judging from Akatsuki Furigu's performance in the freshman test, at this time, he has actually become Tanba Koichiro's main competitor.

With a competitor standing in front of him, how could Danba be so merciful?

"Let you see what high school level pitching is like!"

Taking a deep breath, Koichiro Tanba threw the baseball in his hand with all his strength.

"Whoosh!"

The white baseball was like a sharp arrow, shooting directly at Fanggu Xiao's head.

"Danger!"

Even if they have seen it more than once, the freshmen can't help but feel their hearts beat faster when they see Tanba-senpai's pitch.

Moreover, they very much suspected that this senior might avenge himself and take the opportunity to attack Jiang Guxiao.

"We have already lost like this, are you still not satisfied?"

Even Kanemaru inevitably had such thoughts in his mind.

What made them even more uneasy was the fact that Fang Guxiao was standing in the attacking position. Faced with such a ball, Fang Guxiao had no reaction at all.

He watched helplessly as the baseball hit his head and then turned sharply.

The baseball slid into the strike zone right before his eyes.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.

"Damba's pitching is of a higher standard!"

To be honest, this scene surprised them.

However, what surprised them even more was Jiang Guxiao.Faced with the ball just now, Xiao Fanggu didn't retreat?

"Well done! That's it. As long as we are not afraid of the ball, we will definitely be able to find opportunities to hit the ball."

Sawamura, standing at the front of the freshmen rest area, was once again promoting his universal principles.

This sounds really convincing.

But as an authority figure, standing in the strike zone and watching Damba's pitches, the feeling is still very shocking.

"I can't imagine that such a pitcher would be criticized?"

Akatsuki Fugu, who witnessed this goal with his own eyes, let out a heartfelt sigh.

It was this ball that made him truly realize the level of high school baseball.

This is completely different from the ball he played in junior high school.
