Ace of Diamonds: The Demon King Arrives

Chapter 370 The Strongest Swing! (Two in One)

The venue for the Koshien finals.

The stands were packed with fans.

No one expected that this decisive battle between high school players would attract so much attention?
Not only was the stadium packed with fans, but it was said that even the TV sets were filled with viewers.

The commentator in charge of the broadcast gave an enthusiastic introduction to everyone.

"At least millions of fans are watching this game."

One of the very important reasons why the fans are so enthusiastic is the appearance of the devil pitcher.

A freshman in high school who can throw a superluminal ball at a speed of over 165 kilometers.

This in itself is incredible.

What is even more incredible is that this super-speed pitcher that everyone is paying attention to actually threw the ball at a speed of fifty or sixty kilometers during the game.

I guess even a first grader wouldn't be able to pitch so slowly?
But that's the case.

The fans in the stands were going crazy.

They kept cheering and congratulating the players.

They used all their strength to cheer for the contestant named Fūya.

Even if he didn't throw a super-speed ball.

The fans in the stands didn't mind at all.

They even think that Fūya's pitching style, which controls the entire pitching rhythm, is the best.

"That's so cool, let's keep it like this."

"The opponent is just like that..."

"Three out, three out!!"

As the fans in the stands shouted, Furuya on the pitcher's mound successfully got his third out.

With three outs, offense and defense exchange.

Just like that, the game came to the bottom of the fifth inning and the Seidou High School baseball team was attacking.

The players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team were still very nervous.

Although their team's pitcher Ishii performed very well on the pitcher's mound.

Even the contestant known as the Demon King didn't gain any advantage over Ishii.

But at the same time……

The players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team were also feeling nervous.

Also in the previous inning, their team's pitcher Ishii was also targeted a lot.

Ishii is not Kuroda.

He had no way of completely crushing his opponent by relying on his overwhelming strength.

In this situation, can Ishii hold on for the rest of the game?

The players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team couldn't help but grumble in their hearts.

Even if they know clearly that they should not do this and should not have such worries.

But the fact is that they cannot control their thoughts.

the other side.

In the rest area of ​​the Qingdao High School baseball team, each player is like a wolf cub.

They stared at their opponents fiercely.

As Furuya expressed his determination to keep pitching until the end of the game.

The thoughts of the members of the Seidou High School baseball team inevitably changed.

At this point, they only had one thought left.

That's to get points!

Their team's ace has gone to such lengths to win the game?

How could they fall behind?

They must use all their strength to fight their opponents to the end.

Get the points.

"Fourth batter, number 3, first baseman, Yuuki-san."

At the beginning of the bottom of the fifth inning, the first player of the Seidou High School baseball team to step into the batter's box was their first baseman.

Also the captain of their team, Tetsuya Yuuki.

How strong is this player?

Any team that has played against the Seidou High School baseball team knows this well.

A player of the Troll Otojukami High School baseball team, this was the first time he met the captain of the Seidou High School baseball team.

But the troll Da Tengjuan also did some investigation before the competition.

They know very well what this first batter of the Qingdao High School baseball team means.
They also knew very well how strong this man was.

"We can't give him a chance. We must get rid of him once and for all!"

The idea behind the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team is simple.

But they also know in their hearts that this is not an easy thing to do.

If the fourth batter of Seidou High School baseball team was really that easy to deal with.

They wouldn't have to remain in a stalemate with the other party until now.

Just when the players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team were secretly worried.

Ishii, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, took a deep breath and threw the baseball in his hand decisively.

Even if the opponent is extremely powerful.

The troll, a backup pitcher for the Otojuan High School baseball team, did not back down at all.

His determination to fight the opponent until the last moment has never changed.

"Whoosh!"

Standing in the batter's box, Yuki looked at the approaching baseball without moving.

The white baseball hung on the corner and flew out of the strike zone.

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

The players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team couldn't help but stretch their necks when they saw this scene.

Is that right?
Although they haven't contacted Ishii yet.

But Ishii's actions undoubtedly deeply touched their hearts.

The pitcher of their team not only showed bravery, but also had a hint of something else.

They are hard to describe, but they really exist.

"what is going on?"

Before anyone could figure it out, Ishii threw his second pitch.

"Whoosh!"

The trajectory of this ball is almost the same as the previous one.

Yuki in the batter's box still chose not to shoot.

He watched the ball fly past him.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!!"

Almost the same position, but the results are one good and one bad.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat at the same time.

The players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team were already nervous.

Although they have always felt that Ishii's pitching is good and his ability is strong.

But they were also worried.

Facing the Seidou High School baseball team, that terrifying 4th batter.

Can their team's pitcher hold up?
Now it seems that their worries were unnecessary.

They never thought that the backup pitcher of their team would be so strong?

"Ishii-senpai, you're so handsome!"

A contestant wearing glasses sighed sincerely.

"If this happens, you might not even have a chance to play, Master."

The contestant who was speaking was named Lian Si, a talented catcher.

As for the person who spoke to him, it was a pitcher.

His name is Hongo Masamune.

As regular players of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team, they certainly hope to be able to fight on the field.

His fate is very strange.

It seems they don't have that chance anymore...

If these third-grade pitchers can really form a perfect relay on the field.

According to the personality of their team coach, he will never give Hong Xiang Masamune a chance.

While the two were talking, Ishii, on the pitcher's mound, threw out another ball.

"Whoosh!"

The speed of this ball seems to be quite fast.

Yuki, who was in the batter's box, stared at the flying baseball and shot decisively.

"Boom!!" The teammates in the Qingdao High School baseball team's rest area couldn't help but cheer when they saw this scene.

But then, the smiles on their faces all froze.

"Ping!"

The hit baseball landed outside the third base line.

"The outside world!"

A strike, a foul ball.

Seidou High School baseball team, this powerful fourth batter was actually being chased like this?

There were many people in the stands, looking at each other.

These die-hard supporters of the Seidou High School baseball team obviously cannot accept such a result.

The fourth batter of their team failed to hit the ball in the end?

How can this be?

How can this be possible?

No matter how they feel in their hearts, this is already a fact.

No one can change...

"The batter was being chased?"

In the rest area of ​​the Troll Otojumaki High School baseball team, the bald coach Arata kept stroking the back of his head.

He also didn't understand why this scene happened.
Unbelievable, all this is so incredible!
"Could it be that it evolved during the competition?"

If we were to say who knows Ishii's strength best, it would definitely be Coach Nitta, who is second to none.

As for the balls that Ishii throws on the court now, it is no exaggeration for Nitta to say that he could not have thrown them before.

but now.

Facing the Seidou High School baseball team, facing Tetsuya Yuuki.

He actually voted it out!
And it was effortless and easy...

"That's it, that's it!! No matter how you awakened, just keep it like this."

Coach Arata narrowed his eyes and stared at his pitcher.

Although this scene was something he had not thought of before.

But he still has to say...

This situation is perfect!

If the players of their team can take advantage of this opportunity, they can seize the initiative of the game in one go.

That would be even more perfect...

"Amazing kid!"

Ishii on the pitcher's mound let out a long breath.

There was one thing he didn't tell anyone.

That's his parents, they can no longer tolerate him playing baseball.

"What good is there in that kind of vulgar sport?"

"The stage is what you will pursue in your future life!"

"Become a dancer, my child!!"

Parents’ expectations and family’s glory.

All seemed to be concentrated on the boy's small shoulders.

But the boy really wanted to say that he liked playing baseball.

Although dancing is also good...

But in comparison, he prefers being on the field, especially the feeling of standing on the pitcher's mound and fighting against strong opponents.

"This is the stage of Koshien, and standing in front of me is the strongest hitter who is the top seed in the country!"

"This feeling of blood swelling makes me excited!!"

Ishii really wanted to ask his parents.

Are the honors they talk about really more attractive than the Koshien championship?

"Dad, Mom! I don't know if you guys are here to watch my game!"

Ishii thought silently in his heart.

His body seemed to have undergone a transformation, just as Coach Nitta thought. At this moment, Ishii felt that every ball he threw carried a special power.

"Whoosh!"

White baseball, whizzing out.

The moment he threw the ball, Ishii smiled.

Regardless of whether his parents understand or not?
Regardless of whether his parents accepted his invitation to watch his game?
He has to prove on the field that he is alive!

He's good on the court, better than ever!

On the strike zone.

Yuki stared at the ball motionlessly.

Although the current pitcher of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team was badly beaten by the players of their team before.

But Yuki still has to say it.

This player is really strong.

Especially now...

Ishii is even stronger now than when he came on in the fourth inning.

As a result, Yuki fought with the opponent for two balls, but did not gain any advantage from the young man in front of him.

Now he is being chased.

This means that Yuki has no way out.

The fourth batter of the Seidou High School baseball team never backed down when faced with crises and challenges.

He has a pair of bright eyes.

When the white baseball flew towards him, Yuki suddenly opened his eyes.

He lowered his center of gravity and shot decisively at the flying baseball.

"boom!"

The loud sound of a baseball bat breaking through the air when it is swung.

The main catcher of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team looked like he was about to cry.

In fact, the main catcher really has such an idea.

no way……

The strength displayed by their opponents was too terrifying.

Especially Seidou's third and fourth batters.

It is undoubtedly a pleasure to watch these two people swing the bat up close.

Of course, the premise is that you don't play against them.

The main catcher of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team did not feel any enjoyment at all.

Every time the catcher sees them swinging the bat, he feels nervous.

It was at this time.

"Ping!"

The main catcher of the Troll Datongjuan High School baseball team witnessed with his own eyes the white baseball being hit hard and flew out.

"Second base..."

The main catcher of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team was about to shout to remind his teammates to be on guard.

He was surprised to find that time seemed to have stopped.

The words had not yet come out of his mouth.

The baseball that was hit had already hit the ground and bounced back.

"Snapped!"

So fast! !
The main catcher didn't have time to open his mouth, and the second baseman of the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team didn't have time to block the ball.

Although the landing point of this ball was not good.

But there was no doubt that this ball had hit everyone on the Troll Otojuan High School baseball team.

They could only watch as the baseball hit the ground, bounced, and flew into the outfield.

"Safety!!"

After going through a lot of hardships, the Seidou High School baseball team finally succeeded in getting their first hit.

No one out, first base occupied.

The Troll Otojuan High School baseball team was unwilling to give up a single out even at the cost of their lives.

I didn't expect it to be lost so soon.

"This guy's striking has surpassed the high school level!!"

Supervisor Nitta looked up at Yuki and muttered to himself.

The strength of the Qingdao High School baseball team does not rely on just one person.

"Fifth batter, center fielder, Isajiki Jun."

With someone on base, the mustache-wearing senior successfully stepped into the batter's box.
