(Part 3)

Gabriel standing before Alan gazed at him grim. "Their height difference seems too much, doesn't it?" commented Heber. Feng sighed in disbelief.

"I suggest you don't say that… I think the younger generations from now onwards are tended to have height like our little Ryan." he replied teasingly. Ryan glanced at him annoyed as Xavier chuckled.

Alan smiled back at Gabriel caringly. "Wipe that smug smile off your face, it infuriates me." Gabriel sneered.

Ignoring his words Alan spoke, "Gabriel Harut, a frightful baller living up to your name. From the records, your balling has settled fear into numerous of players hearts making them quit playing cricket all over, in turn earning you the title of 'Demon of the 7th Hell' or should I simply call you 'Asura'?" he asked sneakily.

Gabriel gazing at him smirked, "Let's go! I am not here to gauge out or measure your intelligence. Whether I am Asura or not you find out on your own!" He exclaimed twirling his ball.

"A batsman and now a baller, what's that boy thinking?" Ren looked at Kenzo curious. Isa smirked, "He isn't thinking… he's just playing along."

Alan grabbing his bat went towards the wicket gazing at Gabriel who stood at the balling crease towards the very left.

"Gabriel Harut, a 3rd year middle schooler and a dangerous cricketer. A right handed Spin baller who excels in Sliders, Arm balls and deceiving top spinners. His hellish play had led many batsman who faced him in the past quit cricket for good in turn making him earn the title of the 'Asura' or 'Demon of the 7th Hell'. From the records he seemed to have a great judgment in delivering top spinners while controlling the overall mental state of the batsman." Nagi explained.

The highschoolers including Rauf stared at the pitch grave. "Another Knight hun…" whispered Isa tapping his finger on his lap. "Say… what are you going on and on about the knight thing ever since the beginning your highness. I don't get it at all." Aigou inquired beside him displaying a cute pout.

Isa patted his hairs, "It's nothing… don't worry about it." "However, they are still at a disadvantage. Alan is a spin returner. A batsman who can counter all kinds of spins. He won't be pressurized by a spin baller at all." assured Evan. Kazuna and Ren nodded looking below.

"Oh my~ am I late?" asked Seles walking towards the seats where the middle schoolers settled. "We already have one out. Now let me guess who it was… Adam right?" he guessed. The middle schoolers eyed him surprised.

"Coach Seles? What brings you here?" asked Helios curiously. "What brings me here hun… let me see… right, I came to encourage you all." Seles replied. The middle schoolers hearing instantly looked away uninterested.

"Who would want something like that from you? Aren't you already on their side?" Heber pointed towards the highschoolers doubtfully.

Seles blinking his eyes replied, "Geez… I am not on anyone's side. I have to take care of all of you. Don't make me look like a bad guy now. However, Alan really is strong. You have to broaden up your horizons to defeat him."

"And, how do we do that? If you don't mind, can you guide us?" Xavier asked beaming. Seles gazing at him smiled back soon speaking.

But, before he could Feng instantly interrupted, "Hey… before that, why is the center of your forehead so red?" The middle schoolers including Ryan, Christopher, Mikael and Azazel eyed him curiously.

Seles remembering patted his forehead lightly with his fingers. "Ah… this… I just accidently bumped into the door beam again. Haha…" he told with an embarrassed. "Geez… that's what you get for having an abnormally tall height." Ezekiel rolled his eyes as Kenzo sighed.

Seles looking at them chuckled heartily. "You know, I really like you boys a lot ever since the day, you all came here. I didn't know about it but I somehow started to enjoy my boring days. So as my gratitude towards you all, let me help you once." he said. The middle schoolers eyeing each other stared back at him.

"Alan whom you are facing right now is a calm player. Unlike the others who are aggressive, defensive, controlling and decisive. Alan prefers to be sober at all times and this quality makes him hard to be read by his challengers. Opponents who face him, tend to lose their composure much earlier than they would expect. Just like Adam before. Alan tempted him with deliveries he would love while ending it all with the ones least to his preference. So me telling you all this is, that try to tackle Alan's mind. He has a lot of disguises of himself fit inside his head." Seles enlightened.

The middle schoolers wondered. "Sovereign of Disguises hun… no wonder he is called that." Seraph whispered ruffling Adam's hairs who still sat silent.

Kenzo smirked at Alan, "Say… Helios, my boy. Are you thinking what I am thinking right now?" "Yeah…" Helios agreed as Ryan and Poseidon wondered clueless. Seles looking at them smiled relived. "That's great then!" Kenzo replied.

Alan tapping the bat onto the ground gazed at Gabriel who spun the ball, soon throwing it towards Alan. The ball gliding fast went past Alan in a blink of an eye. "Huh?" Alan dumbfounded looked behind at the wicket keeper who had grasped the ball in his glove.

"Dark Blizzard…" Gabriel whispered.

"An invisible spin?" asked Noah surprised as he looked at the pitch rubbing his eyes.

"No it wasn't invisible, it was silent. Due to an irregular fast spin on the ball. It went from the left side towards the right tending to pass through Alan gliding, making it look like an invisible ball thrown straight into the wicket keepers hands. To be exact it's a Googly." Explained Evan.

"However, due to the large distance between the ball and the wicket. This delivery is solely used for making the players attain boundaries and tends to act as a catch out deliveries. A fully controlled wrist spin." added Rauf. The highschoolers looked at the pitch below.

"There it is! Gabriel's Dark Blizzard!" claimed Christopher and Malik together. "What the! He is using Dark blizzard out from the beginning?! What is that Gabriel thinking? It's not like he could get Alan out with a faraway Googly." asked Feng.

"Let him do it. He isn't trying to get Alan out in the first place. He is playing with him just like he did with Adam before." Poseidon told.

"Of course, Gabriel's point is to incite fear and full control over the opponent. He won't go for an out in such less balls however, he will intent to make Alan fear his deliveries." Kenzo explained grinning.

"Heh… now that's not bad." Ryan smirked. Xavier and Helios looking at each other smiled. "Wow!" Alan commented enthusiastically. "Dark blizzard… was it? It's a great spin delivery. Can I see it once again, since I couldn't see it before?" he asked.

Gabriel peeking at him stood back on the pitch again silently. Once again with the gust of wind, he balled. Reading the trajectory of the ball Alan smirked, "And… here it goes. A six towards the straight."

Slamming his bat upwards the ball flunged over Gabriel landing towards the audience's seat behind him. "Heh… he really did ball me the same delivery again. He knows I am at my peak at returning Spin deliveries so why? I wonder what you are up to Asura king?" Alan thought intrigued.

"And, he returned it back…" sighed Farran and Jonah together. "Can't expect anything less from him." "But look at Gabriel, he isn't moved by that hit." pointed Xavier. "Right, as if he is reading him." told Cassiel.

Adam stared at them silently. "Brother…" Ines whispered anxiously. "His eyes Rauf, do you feel it?" asked Evandor staring at Gabriel who rubbed the ball over his sleeve. "Hm… the eyes of a hunter…" Rauf responded.

Nidou hearing the two of them wondered. "Alan might be at an advantage however I feel a little weird, I don't know why." Orion spoke restless. "You aren't wrong on that, something feels weird." replied Nagi as the highschoolers looked at the two of them on the pitch
