Chapter 79: Charisma of Monsters!
In the second round of the Kanto Tournament, Seidou played in the game against Narita Industry. The three innings ended, and the score between the two sides was 7:0.
Seidou High School firmly grasped the initiative on the field.
In the first half of the fourth inning, Narita attacked.
At the beginning of the game, Seidou High School replaced Ace Pitcher Tanpa and Catcher Chris, who had performed very well so far.
“Miyuki-kun The Catcher, Furuya-kun the Pitcher is now on the field!”
Suddenly, the battery which performed very well was replaced.
The most irritating thing is that the pitcher replaced is still a freshman.
‘First grade again?’
Coach Chazawa looked at Furuya, his brows subconsciously wrinkled.
Coach Kataoka did it, and now he has completely regarded them as the training objects of the new students!
“Then we don’t have to hold back!”
Chazawa shook his neck, his eyes sharpened.
“Hit them hard!”
‘Not every freshman is Sawamura!’
Even Coach Chazawa had to admit Sawamura’s strength. Whether it is the talent and skills that Sawamura showed in middle school, the heights he achieved, or the strength he showed after entering high school.
Sawamura is a very tricky pitcher! Sawamura had a very strong presence, even in high school, it was still extensive.
If the pitcher was Sawamura, even if he didn’t give up the game, Director Chazawa knew that their chances of winning would be very slim.
But how many guys like Sawamura can there be? Even if you look all over the country for ten or even twenty years, it would be good to find one or two.
No matter how good Seidou High School is, it is impossible to recruit two such freshman pitchers simultaneously.
Although the gap of seven points is not small, that doesn’t mean they can’t get back.
If Seidou High School became this reckless on their own, then Coach Chazawa wouldn’t mind and would fulfill their wish.
Miyuki, who just played, felt the resurgence and eagerness of Narita and smirked in his mind.
‘They are Underestimating us!’
‘Do you think there is no one on the pitcher mound of Seidou High School except for Tanpa-senpai and that guy Sawamura?’
On the pitcher’s mound, Isashiki patted Furuya on the back.
“Furuya, cherish this opportunity! With Tanpa and that stinky boy Sawamura around, you won’t have many chances, so cherish every time. If you lose within two points, then there is no problem. Guys who can replace you if you drop more than two points are always ready.”
Furuya glanced at Sawamura beside him, and Kawakami who was preparing in the bullpen, and nodded.
“Yes!”
“I’m not going to let the opponent hit my Pitch.”
Seeing Furuya with such a high spirit, Miyuki subconsciously frowned.
“Don’t be too excited. You know that once you push yourself too hard, you won’t be able to throw the ball with good speed.”
Furuya was stunned, he almost forgot about this.
Most of the surrounding seniors gave a few words of encouragement.
After all, this was the first time that Furuya Satoru had officially stepped onto the pitching mound of Seidou High School. Whether you are concerned or worried, they can’t help but say a few more words.
In the end, only Sawamura was left, and he didn’t say a word yet.
Everyone knows that Sawamura must be in a complicated mood now. They don’t expect him to say any blessings to Furuya at this time.
In fact, from his standpoint, it is difficult for Sawamura to give sincere blessings to Furuya Satoru.
For the sake of his friend, Sawamura can provide all the help he can.
But he was unwilling to give up the pitcher mound to Furuya not even if they are good friends.
From the standpoint of a friend, Sawamura certainly hopes that Furuya can perform well. But from the standpoint of a rival, it is difficult for him to say any words of blessing to Furuya.
“Alright, whatever.”
After a long silence, Sawamura finally gave Furuya a few words.
“If you don’t perform well, I can always do it for you!”
Furuya looked at Sawamura seriously and said.
“I won’t give you a chance!”
“That’s good!”
The game resumed, and facing Narita’s first batter, Furuya Satoru threw his first pitch on behalf of Seidou High School.
Furuya’s stride and center of gravity movements are just like standard movements, very natural and smooth.
‘No big deal!’
Seeing Furuya like this, the batter of Narita subconsciously relaxed his vigilance.
It’s just the most common pitching form, and he can’t think of anything wrong.
‘After all, he is a first-year pitcher, let’s just destroy him quickly and score as much as possible before they get Sawamura on the mound. It should be easy, right? What could possibly go wrong?’
This thought had just occurred, and before he could let it go, what happened next made him stunned.
Furuya’s ball was thrown!
Roaar!
As if the sky was falling apart, a small white ball flew from the pitcher's mound.
This white ball has its sound effects. It exudes a low, harsh sound as if to pierce the eardrum.
From the batter’s point of view, it felt like it wasn’t a baseball at all, but an unknown little monster.
The monster kept attacking, and it felt like it was going to devour the Batter.
‘Stop, stop!’
Almost instinctively, with the bat in the batter’s hand, he swung to defend himself. Right now, the batter felt that if he didn’t swing the bat, he would be swallowed up by Furuya’s pitching momentum!
Boom!
The bat missed, and the small white ball went straight into Miyuki’s open glove.
“STRIKE!”
One ball, just one pitch!
Thousands of fans fell into an eerie silence.
They looked at the small white ball in Miyuki’s hands in disbelief and then turned their dumbfounded faces to the pitching mound.
They looked at the tall, thin young man on the mound with questioning eyes.
‘What was that just now?’
How fast is that ball? It feels like an unknown creature, full of mystery and danger.
“What is that?”
“So fast, so fast, really fast!!!”
“Is that pitcher also a freshman? What’s his name? Why have I never heard of such a powerful guy among the freshmen of Seidou High School.”
“How fast was the ball just now? It feels like it’s approaching 150km?”
“Let’s just say, Seidou High School is so lucky this year! Not only did they get Sawamura Eijun, but they also got such a Fastball pitcher!”
“It’s simply heaven sent!”
“When Sawamura joined before, I had this feeling, the golden age of Seidou High School is here!!!”
“Seidou High School, which originally had a weak pitching squad, suddenly joined these two new forces, which is like a rebirth.”
Furuya only threw a ball!
He successfully captured the hearts of thousands of fans on the scene.
This is the charisma of monsters!
