Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 20 Kominato Haruichi! (First update)
No one out, first base man.

There was a rumbling sound on the field of the Seido High School baseball team.

Those second- and third-year players looked at Sawamura on base as if they had eaten half a caterpillar when eating rice balls.

"You actually let this guy get on base?"

"It's okay, calm down!"

Ono, who was at the catcher's position, failed to catch Kawakami's ball and made a mistake.But his eyes were not discouraged at all, but instead shone with a strong fighting spirit.

It seems that the better these first-year players perform on the field, the more ferocious they are able to stimulate within them.

"Get the first one out, the initiative is still on our side."

After hearing Ono's words, the other second- and third-year players gradually regained their composure.

Ono was right.

The more radical they are at this time, the easier it is for these first-year students to find opportunities, and thus they will perform more brilliantly.

They must be steady.

"You are still far behind!"

With this mentality, the second- and third-year players regained their previous form.

Even Kawakami on the mound quickly calmed down.

He seems to think a little too highly of these first-grade students.

Their strength is nothing more than this.

"Next batter, whose turn is it?"

"I!"

The young man, whose eyes were covered with tears, took the initiative to raise his arms.

It felt like he couldn't wait to get in the strike zone.

Akatsuki Fukutani's blow was still coming, and when he saw Kominato Haruichi was about to play, the corner of his mouth curled up.

Destiny is really wonderful.

Obviously the course of the game has changed, but the famous scene still happened.

At least until now, all the prerequisites have been met.

"Then let me wait and see!"

"Who is this guy?"

Takashima Rei looked at the young man on the strike zone with confusion, doubts flashing in his eyes.

"He is not a player from the Tokyo area, but from Kanagawa Prefecture. His batting average during his junior high school days was as high as 6%."

"Sixty-five percent?"

Takashima Rei looked at his minister in disbelief.

Even their team doesn't attach much importance to the players' achievements in junior high school.

But this achievement is too dazzling...

"Not only Tojo and Kanemaru, we have gained a lot this year."

At this point in the competition, Minister Ohta was too lazy to worry about the newcomers.

in contrast.

The newcomer's performance gave him a feeling of expectation.

"Then let us wait and see!"

Akatsuki Fukitani and Rei Takashima came up with the same idea at the same time.

As for Haruichi Kominato, who had just stepped into the batter's box, he made several small moves towards Sawamura on first base.

"signal?"

The old fans immediately began to speculate.

"Have these two newcomers already discussed their tactics before they came on the field?"

The fans outside the stadium all opened their eyes in surprise.

They obviously couldn't believe that the level of Qingdao's newcomers this year was actually so high?

Not only the melon-eating crowd, but also Kawakami on the pitcher's mound were subconsciously wary.

"What do you mean? I don't understand it at all! Do you want to use a secret code? There was no discussion at all before!"

Sawamura Eijun stared at his innocent big eyes and asked doubtfully.

Those people who thought the game was interesting just now laughed happily when they heard what he said.

Fortunately, they thought that these newcomers had discussed their strategies in advance.

result……

"This kid is so funny." "The batter's caution was completely in vain."

Not to mention the melon-eating crowd, even Jiang Guxiao was amused.

Sawamura Eijun certainly lived up to expectations.

There was clear stupidity in his eyes.

"Run with all your strength, I will definitely send you back to home base!"

Seeing that the strategy failed, Kominato Haruichi blushed and shouted confidently.

for this little guy.

Although his initial strategy failed to confuse the pitcher on the mound.

But what he did was just to increase the success rate.

That doesn't mean he can't get the ball out if he doesn't do that.

At least he doesn't feel like he can't hit the ball now.

After Kominato Haruichi shouted those words, he raised the bat in his hand high.

Ono, who was squatting in the catcher's position, frowned subconsciously.

For some reason, he felt an unpleasant aura from the newcomer in front of him.

"Let's try a ball first!"

Because there is absolutely no support from intelligence, and this little guy is standing in the strike zone for the first time.

Ono made a decisive decision to test the ball first to see the level of this little guy?

Kawakami naturally had no reason to disagree.

He nodded imperceptibly and then threw the outside corner kick directly.

You know, he is a side shooter himself.

When he throws an outside corner ball from his release point, when the ball flies over, it is not a straight line, but an angled diagonal.

This kind of ball is difficult for the batter to release.Even if the batter hits the ball, if his hitting power is not strong enough, the ball will become a foul ball.

Kawakami likes to use such balls to test unfamiliar opponents.

Try a hundred spirits.

It was the same this time, they used this trick very decisively.

Haruichi Kominato, who was on the strike zone, seemed to have his eyes shining when he saw this ball.

"That's what it feels like!"

He had just sat on the cold bench and had been observing for a long time.

The second- and third-year senior likes to test with outside corner kicks when dealing with opponents whose strength is unknown.

So he initially aimed for the outside corner kick.

"This is it!"

Seeing the baseball flying towards him, Kominato Haruichi took a step forward, rounded the bat in his hand and hit the flying baseball.

"Ping!"

The moment he saw the baseball being knocked out, the shock in Ono's eyes could not be concealed at all.

"This guy was aiming for the outside corner kick from the beginning?"

This surprised Ono.

What made it even harder for him to accept was that the ball that was knocked out actually flew close to the first base line and flew into the outfield.

"Long fight!"

Although the baseball didn't hit too far, due to the clever placement, the ball turned into a real long hit.

at the same time.

The second- and third-year players also discovered that the guy named Sawamura Eijun had already started running before the baseball was played.

It was as if he had guessed in advance that the batter would hit the ball.

And it’s the first ball, just hit it!

"Oops!"

The second and third grade players were stunned.

Their outfielders scrambled to get to where the baseball landed and then threw it to third base.

Nor did he expect to be able to stop Sawamura from getting to third base.

At the very least, they couldn't let the guy move on.

……

　One more!
