Chapter 41: Losers and Winners

'I Lost!'

Yoh Shunshin watched blankly, and the players from Seidou High School opposite were celebrating there.

His heart felt empty.

This is the end of the journey of the third-year seniors. Although he entered the school half a year early, he is now a second year, and he can still participate in the Fall competition and the spring Tournament.

And these seniors who accompany them to train have no chance. Their high school baseball career is over…

"I'm going to Tokyo!"

Yoh Shunshin's original school has always had exchanges with Akikawa Academy. When the school posted the notice, Yoh Shunshin was the first to apply.

A fifteen-year-old boy, traveling alone to a foreign country, Yoh Shunshin himself is very curious, how did he have such a determination?

On the TV, the figure of Koshien contestants playing always comes to his mind. He had even forgotten when he saw it. But he will never forget the excitement of that time.

How many times in one's life can one pursue a dream?

Yoh Shunshin didn't know, but when the opportunity to pursue his dream appeared, he chose to pursue it without hesitation.

So he went to Tokyo, entered Akikawa Academy, and participated in his dream high school competition.

But this competition was different from his original feeling. He never found the things in his dreams that moved him.

To become stronger and go to higher places.

Yoh Shunshin always believed that, as long as he can keep moving forward, he will definitely see the land in his dream.

Finally, he saw it!

"Let's fight together next time!"

Chris held Yoh Shunshin's hand and said kindly.

"Yes!"

Yoh Shunshin responded solemnly.

He knew that Chris was in his third year, and there was no way for him to continue playing in the high school after summer games.

The next time Chris said, of course, he wasn't referring to high school.

University, and even higher.

For this offer, Yoh Shunshin did not refuse.

He believed that they would meet again.

"As expected of the legendary Demon King, let's not even get a single hit."

Sekiguchi looked at Sawamura with great emotion.

Although he was Sawamura's senior, he had to be impressed by Sawamura's strength.

Among the pitchers they have played against, Sawamura is definitely the strongest one!

"Senpai, you're also very strong, you gave me a hard time!"

Sawamura said modest words, but he held his head proudly.

Akikawa's players did not get too annoyed after their defeat, but instead sent their blessings to Seidou.

When they get back to their stands.

Unconsciously, there were more people in the stands, and more than a hundred people were sitting irregularly.

"Fantastic!"

"Akikawa, hold your chest up."

"You guys played great!"

"I have been silently cheering for you all the time."

"Your defense is really wonderful. Until the sixth inning, Seidou only scored three points."

"Nice Pitching, Yoh~"

"Shunshin!"

"Nice Pitching, Shunshin!!"

None of the 100 people left. When Yoh Shunshin and the others returned to the rest area, the audience of more than 100 stood up and applauded, sending their blessings to Akikawa.

To be honest, these audiences are also very surprised that Akikawa can fight Seidou to this extent.

They were really inspired by these players in Akikawa.

"Continue to work hard next year!"

"Shunshin, we look forward to your performance!"

Tears flowed uncontrollably like a tap that had been turned on.

Yoh Shunshin's heart was greatly shaken.

'In the end, everyone was watching my performance seriously.'

'I don't have anything to regret.'

'Absolutely not!'

On the other side, the victorious Seidou is naturally another scene.

"Sawamura! Sawamura!!!"

First, Sawamura's fans kept calling and shouting slogans for him.

When it was almost over, Sawamura made a pause gesture.

Brothers of the Brotherhood of Red Heart and the Demon King's Guard, all silenced as if they had received some kind of order.

The entire field was instantly quiet, and the needle drop could be heard.

In the stands, in the team of the Second String.

Kanemaru's jealous eyes began to glow red.

'Damn, this is too cool!'

As if he was the leader of the thousands of people, when he gave an order, no one dared to object.

'Man, that's how it should be.'

"Seidou!"

"Kataoka!"

"Tetsu!"

"You'll definitely be able to get into Koshien this year."

"You are all right."

"We'll come back to cheer you on."

"Sawamura!"

Kataoka looked at the audience who supported him and nodded, and instructed the captain: "Go and thank these audiences who came to cheer us on."

"Yes!"

Under the leadership of Yuuki, all the players of the Seidou High School First String lined up in a neat row to thank the audience who came to cheer them on.

"Thank you very much!"

"Thank you very much!!"

"Thank you very much!!!"

Not only the fans from Tokyo, including the Brotherhood of Red Heart and the Demon King's Guards, but everyone in Seidou bowed and thanked them.

See Seidou behave like this.

Under the leadership of Obayashi, Kobayashi, and Miyamoto, everyone in the two teams stood up and applauded the Seidou players.

At this moment, they felt that it was great that Sawamura could choose Seidou!

After thanking everyone, everyone packed up their own things and cleaned the place.

It is the norm of all teams to clean up the rest area that you have used. (A very good habit to have.)

Sawamura gave Yoh Shunshin one last look.

Although he had met many times in the major leagues in his previous life, for various reasons, his relationship with Yoh Shunshin was not too close.

Unlike Chris-shisho and Narumiya.

However, as an opponent, Yoh Shunshin is definitely a guy worthy of respect.

"I really hope I can have a good fight with him again."

This victory, Sawamura always felt that the victory was not very glorious. Akikawa's overall strength is too weak, and Yoh Shunshin's strength has been greatly restricted.

Otherwise, his light should be more dazzling.

When Kuramochi heard Sawamura's words, he glared at him fiercely.

He was really curious how Sawamura could say such a thing, he didn't want to fight Yoh Shunshin anymore.

Kuramochi: Four at-bats, three bad hits, one hit for an opponent's error. In the battle of the ball, he was completely defeated!

Miyuki approached Sawamura and exchanged information about Yoh Shunshin with Sawamura.

"That pitcher's ball control should have the level of 9 Squares?"

Sawamura nodded: "Yoh Shunshin was able to accurately throw the ball into the nine-square grid when he was in middle school, but I feel that his most powerful thing is not ball control."

"You mean that amazing insight and fighting spirit?" Miyuki asked.

Sawamura replied, "Well, it's so important for a pitcher to have a strong, unyielding heart."

"And you?"

"Of course, I won't lose to him!"

Although he recognized Yoh Shunshin's strength, standing on the pitcher's mound, Sawamura would not lose to anyone.

Miyuki glanced at Sawamura with satisfaction.

'Very good! As expected of our Ace.'

'In the next battle against Sankou, I look forward to working with you.'
