Chapter 18: Match 1
'Senpai? I heard you've been shake by sawamura? '
'Don't mention it, that idiot got excited when he know everyone can play in that match. I am his senpai after all, how can he treat me like this' He sit down and face Mio.
'..'
'Right? ' Miyuki narrowed his eyes.
'..y-yes' Mio looked away guiltily. Miyuki feel betrayed by Mio slow response.
'How can you?!' Miyuki reached out to Mio but before Miyuki can reach him, Mio already ran away.
'Stop right there Fujikawa Mio! ' Miyuki ran after him
'I'll be stupid if I stop as you said senpai' The sound laughter echoed throughout the dorm.

Early in the morning, the atmosphere around the first years is heavy. Pressure coming from the upperclassmen crush their spirits.
'I can't believe we will face them'
'Can we even win? '
The match officially start when the coach came, dressed as an umpire. The starting pitcher for the senpai is Tanba-san, maybe evoking the ace title fired him.
'You aren't going past me'. After an hour have pass, the first years still scoreless meanwhile the senpai already have a ton of score. This situation continue to stagnant not until the coach made a substitution.
'Player change. Coming as catcher, Fujikawa Mio and pitcher Furuya Satoru.'
'Two player at once?'
'Who are they?'
'Fujikawa play as a catcher?! Has the coach gone insane?' The first years that have seen Mio's pitches was stunned to find Mio play a different position.
'Satoru, you just need to throw where my mitt is, okay?'
*nodded nodded *
'Okay good, now let's give them a big surprise' A creepy smile plastered on Mio's face.
*Eikkkk*
It's better to not provoke him in the future, Furuya cringe.
*START! *
Furuya gasped when Mio place his mitt.
'There? '
'Don't worry, trust me'
*nodded*
Furuya do his windup, and throw his pitch. The batter who saw the pitch coming down in the middle smile. Easy! but the the ball suddenly went up.
*BOOM*
'!!!'
'W-what was that!'
'Fast!'
'Who is that?!'
'Furuya! his name is Furuya Satoru!' The batter stood there without moving an inch. After that,
*BOOM*
Three out, change!
The senpai can't believe that they were dominated by the duo.
'That Furuya guy didn't come to play!'
'Is that why he don't care at all?'
'Monster!'
'The monster one isn't Furuya but that catcher'
'Miyuki?' Miyuki came to the field today to watch how Mio will lead Furuya. Furuya has an amazing fastball but the one who amazing was Mio. Furuya still lacked control compare to Mio and that's how Mio was amazing. He fooled the batter by having them swing a high fastball when they can just ignore it.
'He have an amazing skill as a catcher. Watch out' Miyuki left after giving them a piece of advice.
