Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 130 The magical Jianggu Xiao! ([-]-in-[-])

"Is that Furutani-san?"

Director Matsumoto held Kataoka's hand, but his eyes had already begun to glance at the Aomichi High School baseball team players behind Director Kataoka.

The answer soon surfaced.

A player of the Seido High School baseball team unconsciously set his sights on Akatsuki Fukitani.

Even if no one spoke at this time, Director Matsumoto, who had a kind smile on his face, had already locked onto the target.

"Are you Furuya-kun? I heard that your ball speed is as high as 155 kilometers? You are the first freshman in high school to have such a terrifying ball speed."

Matsumoto let go of Director Kataoka's hand, and almost in the next second, he jumped in front of Akatsuki Fukitani.

He looked at Jiang Guxiao's hot eyes, which were so hot that he almost cried out.

Jiang Guxiao suddenly felt a chill.

He didn't know where this middle-aged weird uncle came from.
It looks so disgusting.

At this time, the other players of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team also got out of the car one after another.

The moment they got off the car, they saw the embarrassing state of their own supervisor.

"Supervisor, can you please restrain yourself?"

"No matter how much you salivate, people will not transfer to our school."

If it was the former Seido High School baseball team, it’s really hard to say...

A team with little hope of reaching Koshien will naturally be unable to attract top talents.

Even if it means losing a whole year.

Maybe, Jiang Guxiao might choose to leave.

But the current Seido High School baseball team has just won the Kanto Conference championship, and their morale is now booming.

Not only is there a high probability of entering Koshien.

Even on the field of Koshien, with the strength and potential shown by the Seido High School baseball team, they might be able to make a difference.

Under such circumstances, why should Akatsuki Fukitani, who has already established a foothold in the Seido High School baseball team, go to another school?
Even if that school is the famous Cosmos team, they won't be tempted.

It wasn't until he heard the complaints from Osaka Kiryu that Director Kataoka realized that Director Matsumoto had such a wishful thinking?
That's abominable!

Their Seido High School baseball team finally showed signs of turning around.Director Kataoka will never allow others to have such dangerous ideas.

"Matsumoto-senpai, it's almost time for the competition, right?"

Hearing Kataoka's voice behind him, Director Matsumoto belatedly wiped the corner of his mouth.

"So soon?"

Even though he said that, when he turned his head and looked at Akatsuki Furigu again, Director Matsumoto's eyes had already changed.

"The ball speed is 155 kilometers! We are still in the first year of high school. When you reach the third grade, will it still be good? However, at this stage, we will not surrender. You have to be aware, Furuya classmate?"

"This sounds so awkward, as if they are confident that they can hit a pitch of more than 150 kilometers?"

In the Seido High School baseball team, Kuramochi curled his lips in disdain.

During the Kanto Conference, Akatsuki Fangtani was born.

Faced with this super dark horse that suddenly appeared, the top giants in the country in the Kanto Conference are not without thoughts and must hit the ball that Jiang Gu has given them!
They have even developed various strategies and honed various techniques for this purpose...

However, what is the final result?
Even the Seido High School Baseball Team's mortal enemy, the Daocheng Industrial High School Baseball Team, couldn't hit Fugu Akatsuki's fast ball in the end?

In the past two months, the Seido High School baseball team's own strong bats have not failed to make attempts and efforts.

However, the final result was not very optimistic.

After this series of verifications, the friends of the Seido High School baseball team now have a clearer understanding of Akatsuki Fukitani's pitching.

Even if the opponent is Kiryu Osaka of the Cosmos team, they never think that the opponent can easily hit Akatsuki Furiya's pitching?

"Their average thrust is very powerful, which proves that their hitting strength is very strong. Moreover, all the players on their team have been specially recruited."

Of course, some people have different views on this.

For example, Chris.

The other members of the Qingdao High School baseball team didn't actually know much about this opponent who suddenly appeared.

What they know more about is Team Universe’s reputation.

On the other hand, Chris, at some point, had taken out a small notebook from his hand and began to introduce the information about Osaka Kiryu in detail.

"As expected of Master Chris!"

Sawamura Eijun looked at the small book in Chris' hand, his eyes full of admiration.

Akatsuki Fukitani was simply curious, "I know that senior's ability to collect information is extraordinary. But why do you have information about Osaka Kiryu?"

Regarding this practice match, Supervisor Kataoka did a very good job in keeping it confidential.

Even their team's captain Yuki and main catcher Kazuya Miyuki knew nothing about this situation before.

Sawamura is really curious, when did Chris prepare the information?

Moreover, can he prepare in such detail?
Not only does it include Osaka Kiryu’s playing style and player characteristics, but there are even detailed introductions to some important players.

Chris has it all in his little notebook.

Chris didn't hide this issue either.

He closed the small notebook in his hand hard and made a snapping sound.

"Since our goal is to dominate the country, the intelligence work must be detailed. Cosmos Osaka Kiryu, as last year's runner-up and the country's leading powerhouse, is the one we must focus on."

When Chris said these words, there seemed to be a halo of light shining behind his head.

While the other players on the Seido High School baseball team are still struggling with some minor issues, Chris is already thinking about dominating the country?
You must know that the goal of their Seido High School baseball team has never been to simply enter Koshien.

Their goal from beginning to end is to dominate the country!
No wonder Director Kataoka feels sorry for Chris so much. Chris' accidental injury directly caused the Seido High School baseball team to take another year of detours.

Even if Miyuki is very good, his performance at the catcher position is no worse than Chris.

But he is still a second-year player, and there is no way he can perfectly fit in with his third-year seniors.

Not to mention, there's still a whole year between them.

"The game is about to start. How long will it take for you guys to wait?"

Following the call from Senior Mustache, several people hurried to the team.

By this time, the guessing game had ended, and the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team was the first to attack.

Director Kataoka has not made any explanation before, and even the starting lineup is improvised.

"Team Nos. 1 to 9, starting!!"

All main players, regular lineup.

Although Director Kataoka had not given any explanation before, everyone, including Akatsuki Furitani, seemed to have been mentally prepared for a long time.

In fact, when they saw the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team's bus, they already had a premonition in their hearts.

This kind of game, even if it is a practice game, will definitely require the main players like them to play.

On the other side, the players of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team have also warmed up.

Their first batter stepped directly into the strike zone, looking eager to try.

"Oh, that's incredible! You actually sent a first-year monster onto the stage?"

When he saw that the starting pitcher was Akatsuki Furuya, the No. 1 hitter on the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, he screamed out in surprise.It seemed like he was new.

The other party's performance naturally did not hide it from Miyuki's eyes.

Miyuki, who was squatting in the catcher's position, made an instant decision in his mind.

"wrong!"

This is different from what Kuramochi said before. Their opponents don't seem to be blindly confident.

The opponent was so calm and active in the strike zone, as if they couldn't wait to hit Fang Guxiao's ball.

This is absolutely unreasonable.

"The other party seems to be prepared, so be careful!!"

With such doubts popping up in his mind, Miyuki greeted Fang Guxiao directly and reminded him to be cautious.

Akatsuki Fukitani on the pitcher's mound, after receiving Kazuya Miyuki's hint, nodded imperceptibly.

He felt it too!

Both the supervisor of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team and the players on their team are very abnormal.

Facing the terrifying ball speed that Akatsuki Fanggu may throw, these guys don't have any fear in their eyes, but are full of expectations?

As if they can really hit the 155-kilometer pitch?
Even though this feeling was very real, Fang Guxiao did not flinch.

"If you can really fight out, then give me a try!"

Is the other party blindly confident?
You have to try it before you know.

Akatsuki Fukitani on the pitcher's mound raised his leg high and then dropped it hard.

As his body's center of gravity shifted, the baseball in his hand also whizzed out.

"boom!"

The moment the baseball flew out, it was like a cannonball being shot out of the barrel, with astonishing power.

"Wow!!!"

The players of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team had bright eyes when they saw this scene.

This was even more amazing than what they had heard before and what they had seen on the videotape!
The white baseball was like some unknown little monster, traveling for more than ten meters and appearing in front of the batter.

There are no changes in baseball, and the location of the pitch is also in the center of the strike zone.

That's called one, upright!

But even with such an upright ball, the first batter of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team seemed a little dumbfounded.

At that moment, his arm seemed to be completely out of control and he knocked the bat out early.

The final result was, of course, nothing was hit!
"Boom!"

"nice shot!!"

The baseball hit Kazuya Miyuki's glove hard, making a crisp sound.

In the rest areas on both sides, there were already people holding speed guns to record the speed of the ball.

The Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team was the first to hear the exclamation of disbelief.

"The first ball, so fast?"

"This little guy is really a complete monster!"

On the Qingdao High School baseball team's side, a group of friends gathered in front of Kusunoki.The person holding the speed gun in his hand was none other than Kusunoki.

"151 kilometers!!!"

Compared with the speed of the ball that Akatsuki Furiya pitched in the Kanto Tournament before, this speed is mediocre.

But everyone present at the Seido High School baseball team, including Supervisor Kataoka himself, felt huge waves in their hearts.

You know, they have just gone through a week of devilish physical training.

Not to mention the first-year newcomer Fang Guxiao.

Even those third-year players who had gone through several trainings before, all the bones in their bodies seemed to be falling apart, and every muscle in their bodies was extremely sore.

What if their heyday was 100%?

So their current state can reach 80% of what they were in their heyday, which is already good.

Even in the previous physical training, Jiang Guxiao's performance was not inferior to that of his second and third grade seniors.

His true state is at most 80% of what he was in his heyday, and cannot be more.

In this state, he was actually able to increase the speed of the ball to over 150 kilometers?

This is definitely something that no one on the Seido High School baseball team expected.

"This guy……"

"I thought it would be good if he could throw the ball at a speed of over 140 kilometers."

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's still 145!!"

Unknowingly, these players in the dugout of the Seido High School baseball team had smiles of relief on their faces.

Considering that the opponent is Kiryu Osaka of Team Universe.

Even if the Seido High School baseball team is in good condition, they may not be able to take advantage in a battle with the opponent.

Not to mention their current state of residual health.

All the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team originally felt very pessimistic about the next game.

They have no hope of winning at all, but are in danger of being brutally beaten by the opponent.

In this case, if everyone can relax, it will be a ghost.

But now, these players and supporters of the Seido High School baseball team suddenly feel that they are not completely helpless.

This is the confidence that the ace pitcher brings to them!
“What an amazing guy!!”

The friends of the Qingdao High School Baseball Team, including those die-hard supporters of the Qingdao High School Baseball Team around the stadium, looked at Akatsuki Shimatani with eyes that were more intense than the others.

Not only them, but today's opponent of the Aomichi High School Baseball Team, the director of the Osaka Kiryu High School Baseball Team, has extremely hot eyes.

Director Matsumoto stuck out his tongue and licked his chapped lips, his eyes filled with salivation.

"What does our admissions office do? There is no news about such a talented young man at all before?"

If it is them, contact Jiang Guxiao in advance.

Because of his face, Matsumoto Takahiro, and because of the prominent reputation of their Cosmos team.

Director Matsumoto never believed that the Qingdao High School baseball team could grab the person they wanted.

"We must take good care of the enrollment work."

"If a player like this appears again, we must not let others take advantage!"

Just when everyone was secretly surprised, Jianguo threw the second ball.

Another dignified straight goal! !

In the batter's box, the eyes of the leading batter of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team were red.

"Even if you are arrogant, can you give me a limit?"
