Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 172 The much-anticipated pharmacist battle! (-in-)

Nishi Tokyo, Akita Baseball Stadium, outside the stadium.

In the distance, two figures, one tall and one short, were rushing towards the stadium.

She is a tall beauty with an excellent temperament. Her long legs make her walk very fast even if she is wearing high heels.

This beauty's name is Owada Akiko, and she is a reporter for the famous magazine Baseball Kingdom.

Following her is her senior, who is also her partner.

Wearing a peaked cap, he is short and slightly bloated, and his name is Fujio.

He is a senior reporter for Baseball Kingdom magazine. Although he looks unattractive, he is well-known in the entire high school baseball circle.

It is said that many professional team supervisors highly recognize this person's vision.

Fujio once wrote a special report for the Miyuki players of Seido.

Even at that time, the performance of the Seido High School baseball team was not very impressive.

The power of that report alone made many professional team supervisors and scouts notice the existence of Miyuki Kazuya.

Since that report came out, managers from four professional teams have gone to the Aomichi High School baseball team to learn about Miyuki Kazuya's situation.

It is not difficult to see from this the influence of this reporter in the baseball circle.

Especially in the high school baseball class, Fujio is almost a figure comparable to a god.

However, such a great figure seemed a little anxious at the moment.

His little legs were swinging constantly to speed up his journey.

"There are still 20 minutes before the game starts, don't miss out on a good position!"

It can be seen that Fujio pays great attention to the next game.

"Senior, there's no need to be so anxious. Look, there's no one on the road here? Akita Stadium is huge!"

Owada Akiko, who was walking in front, smiled and comforted her senior.

If it weren't for her poor driving skills, the two of them wouldn't have arrived ten minutes later than expected.

According to their original plan, they should appear in the stands of the stadium half an hour before the game started.

Fujio looked around.

Although there were fans, one after another entered through the stadium gate.

But looking at the density of people, it’s really not that high?

He couldn't help but frowned.

This was completely different from his original idea.

He originally thought that the next game would be highly anticipated.

That's why he and his partner started taking action early.

But so few fans?

He didn't think of it.

"Is it because of working days?"

Just as Fujio was secretly guessing, the two entered the stadium gate and followed the steps to the stands.

"Senior, I just said you don't have to worry..."

The tall Akiko Owada, taking advantage of her long legs, was the first to show her head from the stands.

However, before she could finish her words, her voice stopped abruptly.

"what happened?"

Fujio asked doubtfully.

While asking questions, he also followed the steps of the stairs and appeared in the stands.

Looking around, they are all densely packed with human heads.

There is no vacancy in sight at all!

Fujio looked at the watch on his wrist in disbelief. It clearly recorded the current time.

9:41am.

"Are there still 20 minutes until the game starts?"

It seems that their previous judgment was wrong.

Fans are not just interested in this game, they are going crazy.

There are still 20 minutes left before the game, and the empty seats in the stands are already filled.

"It is said that fans have sharp eyes. Now it seems that this sentence is not wrong at all."

Owada Akiko next to Fujio was completely dumbfounded at this time. Her beautiful big eyes were filled with confusion at this moment.

At the same time, the locker room of the Aomichi High School baseball team.

"Did you see the stands? I just passed through the crack in the door and took a sneak peek. The scene was even more lively than during the Kanto Conference!"

The players of the Qingdao High School baseball team have obviously noticed the extraordinary nature of this game.

At least the fans in this game were more active than any previous game.

"We already have a lot of die-hard supporters, and after winning the Kanto Conference, we have accumulated a lot of fans. Now, the Dark Horse Yakushi High School Baseball Team is here too! It's natural for the scene to be lively."

"And this game is different from previous games. The fans no longer support us one-sidedly."

In all the previous games played by the Qingdao High School baseball team, the fans' support for them has always been one of the team's biggest motivations.

But now it seems that they may not even have this huge advantage.

"The opponent is a dark horse. As a spectator in the stands, who doesn't want to see a subversive scene? If everyone is in harmony, I will not be happy as a spectator."

"Except for the die-hard supporters of our team, the vast majority of people in the stands are ordinary fans who are watching the excitement and don't mind it."

"If there is any oversight during the game, those guys will not show mercy to us."

Talking about the upcoming game, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team seem to be more worried than confident.

But that's just what comes out of their mouths.

If at this time, someone would focus on the eyes of Qingdao players.

They will be surprised to find that the eyes of these players who are complaining about themselves are already filled with fire.

Although the players of the Seido High School baseball team already understand, why do media reporters write such propaganda reports?

But that doesn't mean they aren't angry.

Understanding is one thing, but whether you can emotionally accept it is another.

For the players on the Aomichi High School baseball team, their hearts are undoubtedly filled with outrage.

However, their inner anger cannot be directed at ordinary fans and audiences.

Naturally, they could only set their sights on the Yakushima High School baseball team that was about to compete with them.

As for whether the Yakushi High School baseball team was wronged?

The guys on the Aomichi High School baseball team couldn't care less.

Anyway, they want to pour out all their anger on them.

"Don't you think it's a waste of time to say these meaningless words? If you have the strength, just put it on the field!"

Just when everyone was talking about it, Yuki, the captain of the team, suddenly spoke.

After hearing their captain's words, the players fell silent one by one.

Obviously they also believed that what their captain said was correct.

"Ready to play!"

As the captain of the team, Yuki took the lead and opened the door.

Looking at his back, Jiang Guxiao's eyes showed a hint of envy.

Being a captain means being dignified!

"You're very greedy, aren't you?"

Miyukiichi didn't know when he appeared behind Fangtani Akatsuki.

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Fang Guxiao quickly denied it.

He didn't want to leave a bad impression on the seniors.

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. If you want to be a captain, it's no big deal. It's normal. Young man, work hard. When the captain and the others retire, I will recommend you!"

Miyuki Kazuya said it very formally.

But the more he behaved like this, the more uneasy Jiang Guxiao felt.

"I don't!"

It's just that his words of denial seemed particularly weak at this time.

Sawamura looked at the back of Akatsuki Fukitani chasing him away, his eyes full of complexity. “I will be the ace of the team in the future, and I will also be the captain!”

Just when the young man was making grand remarks, the senior who was in the same dormitory with him gave him a slap on the back of the head without ceremony.

"Snapped!"

"oops?"

Sawamura Eijun looked at the figure behind him dissatisfied, "Why are you hitting me? Kuramochi-senpai?"

"We second-year students haven't taken our turn yet. How can we give the captaincy to you?"

"Jiang Gu also said..."

Sawamura Eijun was wronged and immediately complained.

This is also true.

"I can't control him, so why can't I control you?"

But Kuramochi Yoichi didn't pay any attention to it.

What an international joke?

Akatsuki Fukigu is the ace of their team, and the team's supervisor and director are like darlings, darling him.

How dare Kuramochi take the initiative to cause trouble for Fanggu Xiao.

But Sawamura Eijun is different.

Although in recent times, his performance on the court has been remarkable.

But at the end of the day, he's just the team's relief pitcher.

In addition to this reason, there is another very important reason, that is, they are roommates in the same dormitory.

According to the tradition of their Aomichi High School baseball team, Kuramochi, as the senior in his dormitory, originally had the responsibility to teach Sawamura.

Therefore, he can be justified in both public and private matters.

The couple in dormitory No. 5 were arguing with each other unconvincedly.

But other members of the Seido High School baseball team were already used to this scene.

As if they didn't see it, they filed out of the locker room door.

"Qingdao!!!"

Seeing the players of the Seido High School baseball team come out, the die-hard supporters of the Seido High School baseball team in the stands immediately began to shout loudly.

"Yuki!"

"Fang Guxiao!!"

"Monster Year 1!"

"Today, let's throw the ball too!!"

Except at the very beginning, a few people shouted Captain Yuki's name.

Later, Xiao Fanggu came on stage.

The fans in the stands immediately fell in love with each other. They put all their attention on Jiang Guxiao.

"Wow! Just like a big star!!"

Even his teammates on the Seido High School baseball team can detect the audience's affection for their junior.

That is simply love to the core.

"It's been less than four months since he joined our team!"

Someone sighed.

In the past, Akatsuki Fukitani was just a newcomer to the Seido High School baseball team, and he didn't feel particularly important.

But now, everyone seems to have changed their minds.

Xiao Fanggu, who has just joined the team less than 4 months ago, is already the most eye-catching presence in their team.

It can even be said that it has become the signature of their team.

Miyuki Kazuya had a smile on his face.

The former star player of the Seido High School baseball team didn't care at all that his star position was taken away.

On the contrary, he still had a smile on his face.

"You are also the star player of our team after all. Don't you feel anything in your heart?"

Kuramochi seemed to hate the fact that iron cannot become steel.

"You don't understand this. Some people are born to be protagonists, such as our current ace."

Miyukiichi rarely praises one person specifically like he does now.

But now that he has said that, it means that he does have such thoughts in his heart.

"I didn't expect you to be such a flexible person!"

"Humans, you have to learn to accept reality. Some positions are born with brilliance. If it were you and me as a fan, I would treat a man who can throw a ball at a speed of 155 kilometers differently."

"Are you really not jealous at all?"

"What do I have to be jealous of? He is a star, and I am the one who can command the star!"

The smile on Miyuki Kazuya's face was extremely dazzling.

Kuramochi felt that his eyes were hurt.

"Damn it, this guy tricked me!"

Although he was thinking about it in his heart and Kuramochi was talking about it, he still refused to admit defeat at all.

"Today's opponent is different from the previous opponents. Don't you make a mistake in command?"

"Don't worry! I have confidence in my ability to command."

shameless!

Kuramochi had nothing to do with Mikoichi.

In terms of strength, he has been the team's main catcher since the first half of the first grade.

Before Akatsuki Furuya joined the team, Miyuki Kazuya was even the most famous star player on their team.

He is more famous than their captain.

Talk about the thickness of your face.

Even if Kuramochi is already a shameless benchmark, he will only be defeated if he meets someone as sinister as Miyuki Kazuya.

Just as the players from the Seido High School baseball team came on the field, the players from the Yakushima High School baseball team on the other side also walked out of the locker room door.

Seeing the pharmacist come on stage, the fans in the stands burst into cheers.

Although the fans shouted, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team did not hear clearly.

But looking at each other's atmosphere, they can still feel how popular the Yakushima High School baseball team is?

"I really can't believe that a dark polo team can be so popular?"

The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are even more vigilant.

Fans don't lie.

They support whoever they want to support.

The fact that the Yakashi High School baseball team has been favored by so many fans also shows how well they performed in the last game?

"It seems like this game is really not that easy to win!"

The friends of the Seido High School baseball team had a realization in their hearts.

They understand that the next game will not be easy.

"The quarter-finals of the summer Koshien Nishi Tokyo preliminaries, the Aomichi High School baseball team will play against the Yakushi High School baseball team, has officially begun!"

"The first to attack is the Yakashi High School baseball team!"

As soon as the game started, the fans in the stands cheered excitedly.

"Wow!!"

"The supervisor of the Yakushima High School baseball team knows very well what the audience wants to see, right?"

"From the beginning, it's a direct confrontation with first-year monsters!"

"Exciting, so exciting!!"

The first batter sent out by the Yakushima High School baseball team was their team's first-year player, Todoroki Ichi.

The starting pitcher of the Seido High School baseball team is Akatsuki Furitani.
