Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 27 The fatal ball! (Second update)
Miyuki Kazuya failed to catch the ball?
Seeing this scene, Senior Kusunoki once wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes.

Although the shot Fanggu Xiao just made was extremely powerful.

Although the level of that shot seems to have transcended the high school level.

Kusunoki still found it hard to believe that there was a ball that Miyuki Kazuya couldn't catch?
"Are you letting off steam?"

Hearing his senior's questioning voice, Miyuki Kazuya had a wry smile on his face.

"How much do you think highly of me? The ball at that speed did not fall according to the predetermined trajectory, but floated up? It is impossible for anyone to catch it for the first time, okay?"

After saying this, Miyuki felt that his back was soaked.

Judging from the marks on the wall behind him, the ball just landed directly on him.

Even if he was wearing protective gear, the outcome would never be much better.

"This kid is not throwing the ball, he is just killing people!"

Everyone had speculated before that the reason why Akatsuki Fukigu was not well-known throughout the country during his junior high school days was probably because of his teammates.

Because he didn't meet a good catcher, he couldn't show his strength at all.

But now it seems that I can't really blame those teammates before Jiang Guxiao.

For the pitch he just made, not many high school catchers, let alone junior high school students, could catch it.

Too scary!

"Very good, one more ball!"

Faced with such a pitch, instead of flinching, Miyuki showed great interest.

He crouched down again in the catcher's position and raised his glove.

"Right in the middle of the strike zone!"

Seeing Miyuki Kazuya's unwillingness to admit defeat, Akatsuki Furigu felt that there were 36 pores in his body, and none of them felt uncomfortable.

Although his former teammates also actively wanted to try.

They are only a hair away from the national competition.

At that time, all their friends understood that as long as someone could catch Fang Guxiao's ball, they would be able to reach the national level.

Even in the national competition, their players can perform well.

If you are lucky.

It is not impossible for them to dominate the country and stand at the top of the country.

The temptation is too great.

So much so that those friends before Jiang Guxiao could not withstand it at all.

They have tried hard more than once.

Jiang Guxiao was also very impressed by the spirit of those friends.

But it cannot be denied.

No matter who wanted to catch Fang Guxiao's ball at the beginning, they all wanted to escape after seeing Fang Guxiao's pitch.

The eyes don’t deceive!

The look in their eyes when they saw Fang Gu Xiao pitching is still vivid in Fang Gu Xiao's mind to this day.

Although the relationship between them was not at a standstill.

But Jiang Guxiao listened to those friends discussing in private more than once.

It is said that his pitch to Gu Xiao was a fatal ball.

Others' pitching costs their strength, while his pitching costs his partner.

Fang Guxiao's last year in junior high school was not a happy one.

Even his teammates on the same team took the responsibility on themselves.

Fang Guxiao also doubted for a while, could it be his problem?

Until now.

Seeing the look in Miyuki Kazuya's eyes, Fangtani truly understood that it was not his problem at all.

"I'm coming, senior!"

White baseball, as always.Akatsuki Fukutani was unable to grasp the precise position of the baseball when he was throwing with all his strength.Wanting to throw the ball into every corner of the strike zone is basically a luxury.

The only thing he can accurately control is the ball in the center.

When he was practicing pitching, he drew the strike zone into a circle and kept throwing to the center of the circle.

Later, the circle became smaller and smaller until he controlled the error to within a few centimeters.

After that, Fang Guxiao also tried other positions.

For example, the outside and inside corners of the strike zone.

But strangely, when he circled these positions, it was difficult for him to shoot as accurately as before.

Pitches will deviate from the strike zone, and the probability is very high...

It doesn’t take a professional catcher to figure it out.

Akatsuki Furuya also knew that such a ball was not enough to be used as a weapon.

It is for this reason that he focuses more of his attention on the straight ball in the center.

To this end, he also designed two modes.

One is an ordinary fast straight ball that is exactly the same, and the other is a straight ball that floats to varying degrees after the seal is released.

"Snapped!"

Miyukiichi also waited until the third ball before he firmly caught the ball in his glove.

"very good!"

The smile on his face was extremely bright.

"Although I don't want to comment on a first-year freshman like this, I still want to say that you can represent the first army in the competition. Not because of your potential, but because of your strength. Have you ever played in a competition in junior high school? "

Miyuki Kazuya asked the last question, and Kusunoki secretly rolled his eyes.

Is this called unwilling to praise?
Miyuki's subtext is that even if Akatsuki Fukitani has no previous game experience, just relying on his two straight balls now, he is enough to occupy a place on the first team of Aomichi High School's baseball team.

This evaluation is simply appalling!
"I am in junior high school and am the team's core hitter and ace. Our team is the runner-up in Hokkaido!"

Fang Guxiao said truthfully.

This achievement is nothing.

In particular, Akatsuki Furuya plays the soft ball of junior high school, not the hard ball of youth baseball.

This is nothing to brag about.

The reason why Akatsuki Fukitani said this was mainly to tell Miyuki that he was not a pure newcomer.

He doesn't know anything about baseball either.

"That's good! If you are really a novice, letting you play will really not make people feel at ease. After all, what we are going to play next is the Kanto Conference."

In the days that followed, Akatsuki Fukitani joined the First Army, and his name was added to the list of contestants for the Kanto Conference.

While Sawamura and Haruichi Kominato were playing a practice match with the Second Army, the Kanto Conference was held as scheduled.

April is the Tokyo Spring Tournament, and May is the Kanto Tournament.

These two games can almost be said to be connected.

Fang Guxiao felt that just a few days after he joined the First Army, he didn't even get to know the players of the First Army, so he just followed the team and played in the Kanto Tournament together.

Their first opponent in the competition was the famous Kanto giant Yokohama Kohoku.

"It was a tough battle from the beginning!"

Just when the friends were sighing, Director Kataoka suddenly said to Akatsuki Furiya.

"Starting from the fifth inning, you warm up."

Akatsuki Fukutani, who had just joined the first army, actually wanted to represent Aido and directly participate in the game against Yokohama Kohoku?
Hearing this news, even Ota, who had always supported Akatsuki Furuya, found it incredible.

"coach?"

"Ok, deal!"
