Chapter 17: Unexpected Situation
'Satoru, why me? ' Mio whinned while wearing his gear.
'But it's true that you can ^^'
'Huh?!! -_-' Mio wanted to cry at the sudden request.
*sighs*
'Then let's do this' Mio bumped his fist to Furuya's chest and get ready to squat next to the plate. When Miyuki arrived, he was taken back seeing Furuya preparing himself to throw and Mio who wearing a catcher gear.
'What the hell is this?'
Furuya get ready to throw. In the corner, Sawamura watch them enviously.
'Damn! they can pitch in the bullpen already TT. Okay I'm gonna do it! ' He left the bullpen and run with extra tyre full of vigor.
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
Furuya beamed, he genuinely happy. Mio catch his pitch with ease. He give Furuya a simple but effective instructions.
'Looking good Satoru.' Furuya is itching to throw again, forgetting his surrounding but halted when coach kataoka prevent him.
'Furuya enough for the day, Fujikawa also. The two of you are done for the day.'
'I will conduct a match between the upperclassmen and the tenth graders so get ready. Everyone can participate in it.'
Miyuki stare at Mio then snickers .He didn't expect Mio can be a catcher! With skill like that he can be a threat to miyuki if he decides to play as a catcher.
'Interesting! '

'Let us see who is ready for the summer. Our ambition is the same, a team aiming for national championship'.
Besides coach kataoka want to see how far Fujikawa Mio can go? With a talent no other like that he was bound to shine wherever he go. Is his presence here in seido will bring a greater good or something?. Coach kataoka feel genuinely intrigued by such a scene.
'And one more thing, tell the first string that they have a day off tomorrow .' Now the match was set in stone, the future is written for them.
