Ace of Diamond: Return of the Pitcher

When they came to the river, Kataoka and Ota saw the situation at the scene.

Seeing that it was just a normal duel, the stone in the hearts of the two fell to the ground.

Of course, right? how could their students be so uncivilized?

But immediately following, the eyes of the two were attracted by the showdown on the scene. Sawamura Eijun vs. Yuuki Tetsuya, this duel, just the name of the two is striking enough.

So exciting!

Especially seeing Sawamura throwing a new Breaking-ball, Ota was even more excited.

Seidou's pitching lineup seems to be nothing to worry about now.

'Wait a minute, that's not right. How could the two of them play together?'

As soon as this thought came to mind, the cold sweat on Ota's forehead broke down. If one breaks the other and collapses, won't Seidou just suffer?

He opened his mouth, then said nothing.

Suddenly, Ota felt wrong. In his mind, has Sawamura already become such an existence?

The No-Kings-Fight!

Although he stubbornly refused to admit it, in Minister Ota's mind, Sawamura seemed to be the strongest pitcher at Seidou High School.

Besides, the fact that the No-Kings-Fight is also an unspoken rule. Since it is an unspoken rule, it cannot be said on the surface. After you open your mouth, what will he say?

Saying it was not allowed was equivalent to admitting Sawamura's status now in front of the third grade.

Allow! When they are free to play against, and they are willing to practice more, you can't control it.

"Superintendent!"

With no solution in his mind, President Ota turned to look at Kataoka.

Kataoka didn't say anything, he just stepped forward and came in front of everyone.

As he approached, the faces of several third-year seniors became complex one by one.

The smile on Kominato's face turned into a wry smile.

Nailed in his place, his whole body seems to be frozen and does not move anywhere.

Isashiki's face was as if he was talking shit about people behind their backs and suddenly met them face to face.

The four players (Pitcher, Batter, Catcher, Referee) in the duel on the field were originally immersed in the duel, but at this time they also discovered that the atmosphere was wrong.

There was embarrassment in Chris's eyes.

"Opus!"

Miyuki stood up from the position of the catcher, rubbing his head in embarrassment and smirking.

Yuuki also lowered his head in guilt.

As the Captain, he felt very guilty for being so self-willed.

In the pitcher's Mound, Sawamura was also embarrassed. 'why is he here?' asked feeling strange in his mind.

Kataoka didn't speak and just looked at them one by one. All the people he was staring at lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Although they were not so scared, let alone practice against each other in private, even if a few people gathered together to drink heavily, Kataoka would not send everyone off the scene. The first law is not to blame the crowd, and if one of these people is sent off to the second string, then the Seidou will be over. (When Seidou team member makes a mistake, the biggest punishment is to demote them to the next string. Kataoka has never actively forced any player to resign.)

Another punishment is to make them have a different training menu or long-running for a long time. Miyuki and the others didn't care too much.

Nevertheless, even if they knew this, they still felt guilty when they saw Kataoka's eyes.

After a while, Kataoka asked.

"Who can tell me what is going on?"

They looked at each other and then everyone looked at one person.

"Yuuki!"

It's okay to pretend to be dumb. Isn't the Captain here? After all, why do they have a captain if not for this? Kataoka asked Tetsu directly.

"Sorry!"

Tetsu directly apologizes.

Kataoka glanced at him, no longer holding on, and looked at the others.

When he looked at Sawamura, he saw Sawamura's indifferent eyes.

"Sawamura!"

Sawamura, who was named, raised his head in confusion.

At this time, no matter from which aspect, it is not up to him, right? There are captains, main catchers, and important staff, and the rest are seniors. Whether it is by rank or size, it's not his turn.

Although he was surprised, Sawamura's response was not slow.

"Yes, Coach!"

Sawamura responded to Kataoka very politely.

Although he was confused, there was not much anxiety in Sawamura's eyes.

"What happened?"

Kataoka asked directly.

Sawamura was stunned for a moment, and then said calmly: "I'm getting along with the Senpais, let them see my pitching, and see if there is a problem."

He speaks the truth.

Kataoka's eyes sank, and then he turned to look at them.

The No-Kings-Fight rule. Sawamura is a freshman and probably does not know this kind of rule. But wouldn't they, the seniors, know it? The main Pitchers and super strong Batters of the same team, on the eve of the Kanto Tournament, how could they have a serious duel like this?

Seeing Kataoka's eyes, Chris became even more ashamed.

Isashiki stared at Sawamura with a very bad look, how could this bastard pretend to be innocent?

Didn't he make the rules and pick the place?

Shameless!

Kominato Ryosuke looked at Sawamura with the same eyes.

Sawamura looked at the seniors looking at him, showing a very kind smile.

'I know nothing, I know nothing!' He kept hypnotizing himself.

"The rules and results of the competition?" Kataoka soon discovered the tricks, and Isashiki's annoyed expression could not be concealed.

He didn't say his thoughts, and he directly asked the result.

At this time, Chris took the initiative to tell everything about it.

In the first round, Kominato, Isashiki, and Tetsuya went up and down three times, and the third grade failed miserably.

In the second round, Kominato, and Chris, tied, with two hits, a third-year win.

In the third round, Kominato, Yuuki, Masuko, Kominato hits, and Yuuki hits in time. Third-grade wins.

Two wins, one loss.

This is the fourth round, Sawamura has already struck out Kominato and Chris and now faces the Captain.

"Oh!"

Kataoka nodded, then stared at Tetsu seriously: "Yuuki, do you still want to continue?"

Tetsuya looked up at Kataoka, overcame the guilt in his heart, and said honestly, "Yes sir, I want to!"

Kataoka nodded and looked at Sawamura Eijun again: "How about you?"

Sawamura, who had thought that the game was over, heard Kataoka's question, and his expression became serious.

"Yes, please!"

Although the goal has been achieved, Sawamura already knows his problems and the direction he will work hard in the future. But the game is not over, how can he give up?

Now, Kataoka understands what's going on, is he going to stop them?

"Then go ahead!"

Kataoka said immediately.

"Superintendent?"

President Ota looked at Kataoka in surprise.

"Since it has already started, what if there is no result? Be good at the beginning and end well. To not make the pitcher or the batters think too much and it will affect their play, so let them continue."

Kataoka said.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Sawamura: "After this round, whoever loses will be punished. This okay too, right?"

"No problem!" Sawamura felt as if something was wrong, why was Kataoka staring at him and asking?

"It is fine!"

Although there is an ominous premonition in his heart, that is all later, and now Sawamura still hopes to continue the game.

"Let's do this!"
