Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 25 First time! (Second update)

"I can't ask for it!"

Miyukiichi also took the initiative to invite him, and Akatsuki Fukitani had no reason to refuse.

He had practiced throwing before, but no one had ever successfully caught his ball, so the only object he practiced on was the wall under the bridge.

Now that Yu Xing took the initiative to invite him, Gu Xiao felt a surge of fighting spirit.

Senior Kusunoki also looked very interested.

"As your partner, I must stay and have a good look."

There was also light in his eyes.

Three people in a dormitory came to the team's indoor practice field after all the other players went to bed.

"Snapped!"

The lights were on and there was no one inside.

"Is everyone going back so early?"

Miyuki asked strangely.

Their seniors in the third grade can be called the best among the best.

There is no moderation in the extra training.

"There's nothing we can do. The Kanto Tournament is approaching now. No matter how good those guys are, they still have to listen to the supervisor's orders."

Nanmu opened his mouth to explain.

Judging from what he said, if it weren't for the Kanto Tournament in May, there might still be people practicing on the indoor court.

"this late?"

After the delay just now, and the time when their practice ended was not early.

It's now 9:30pm.

But according to Kusunoki, even at this time, there are still players practicing extra time.

You must know that the players in their baseball club have to get up early for morning training.

Plus the time it takes to wash up.

"Our Seido High School baseball team has a saying that we sweat more than anyone else!"

Speaking of Nanmu here, a hint of bitterness appeared on his beautiful face.

"This is no joke. These guys on our team have always had this kind of confidence."

Their training is the hardest.

Even among all the wealthy high schools, they are second to none in this aspect.

"I understand!"

In fact, Fanggu Xiao knew a little bit about what Kusunoki said.

But knowing and experiencing it personally are destined to be different.

Now that he has experienced all of this personally, Fang Gu has realized more clearly that this team is different.

Even though he has a unique talent.

I want to stand out in this team, and I want to lead my teammates in this team to enter the country and dominate Koshien.

It's definitely not going to be an easy thing.

At this moment, Jiang Guxiao deeply felt how heavy the burden on his shoulders was.

"There's no need to look bitter and resentful. This burden is not yours alone, it also belongs to our second- and third-year players."

Miyuki seemed to be able to see through Akatsuki Furuya's thoughts, and Raku's nose almost burst with bubbles.

"You're so cute! If you didn't know better, you'd think you were the captain reborn."

The speaker was unintentional, but Jiang Guxiao felt like she was breaking out in a cold sweat.

He looked at Miyuki blankly, wondering in his heart, this guy's thoughts are too terrible?

It was as if he could see through people's hearts.

After a few small talk, Akatsuki Fukitani stood on the pitcher's mound.

"Senior, are you sure you don't need to wear protective gear?"

In addition to gloves, catchers also have protective gear specifically designed to protect their bodies.This protective gear includes masks, breastplates, etc.

Wearing these protective gear is to protect the catcher.

When Akatsuki Furuya pitched in the past, even if his team's catcher wore a shield, the opponent would still look trembling when receiving Akatsuki Furuya's pitch.

It was as if the next second, he was going to explode on the spot.

Miyuki was different from them. He only wore one glove and no other equipment.

He was so careless, trying to catch Jiang Gu Xiao's pitch. "It's still too dangerous to do this!"

Senior Kusunoki also started to persuade.

This senior also squatted aside and watched the previous welcome competition.

He was extremely impressed by the shot made by Akatsuki Fukitani.

If the current main catcher of their team is really allowed to catch such a ball, if Miyukiichi is also injured, then their team will be in big trouble.

Although what their team lacks most now is the team's main pitcher.

Especially pitchers who can complement Dumbo.

But this does not mean that there are no problems in other positions of their team.

Take their strongest position, catcher.

This is mainly because of the existence of Miyuki Kazuya, which makes their team dominate in this position.

What if Miyukiichi was also injured?

Although their team has other catchers who can fill it, the holes at this position will definitely increase.

This is no longer their advantageous area, but may hold back their entire position.

Chris is still doing rehab...

Senior Kusunoki felt regretful. If he had known these two boys were so lawless, he should not have gotten involved.

Well now.

It would be fine if there were no problems, but what problems would arise once the two met for the first time?
Not only would the two of them be unable to eat, but Nanmu might also be regarded as an accomplice.

"It's okay. I'm not going to be intimidated by a first-year pitch."

Miyukiichi also deliberately did not use the equipment.

He just squatted down, opened his gloves, and waited for Jiang Guxiao to come over.

"Since senior insists on doing this, I won't be polite."

Because I have an impression of this picture.

Fang Guxiao didn't go into details.

It just so happened that he also really wanted to test his all-out pitching.

"Right in the center!"

After talking about his pitching position, Fang Gu went all out and opened up his stance.

His body was stretched very far apart, and his fingers were stuck tightly on the baseball.

Before throwing the ball, Furiya told herself over and over again that there was no need to use too much effort.

Everything seems to be a matter of course.

He lifted his legs and put his feet down...

As his body weight shifted, the white baseball in his hand whizzed out.

The moment the baseball was released, the sound of the air being penetrated instantly reached the ears of the three people present.

"boom!"

Hearing the terrifying sound of breaking through the air, Nanmu's face turned pale.

"Oops, it's faster than the ball during the day. Be careful!!"

If Akatsuki Furuya's goal during the day was version 1.0, his current goal is version 2.0.

The white baseball penetrated the air and appeared in front of Miyuki.

Miyuki looked at the baseball that was constantly approaching him, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Baseball actually went up!
Furi Gu's control of the ball during the day was still very stable, but he didn't expect that after he completely unlocked the ball, his pitch would rise so high?

Fortunately, Miyukiichi was already prepared for this.

He lifted up the glove in the center, just enough to put the ball into his glove.

"Snapped!"

Seeing Miyuki catch the ball easily, Kusunoki's heart was relieved.

"Thank goodness!"

However, before he finished reciting his prayer of thanks, he heard Yu Xing ask in a coquettish manner.

"Can you only hit the ball straight?"

"No, there is another one!"
