Chapter 8: Toward Greatness

"Tiger of Okinawa!"

'Here he comes!'

As long as Torajiro can do his best, he is like a real tiger.

This was originally a good thing, at least for Konan High School, it would be best if Torajiro could enter his best state.

As long as he can show his pitching, even the batters from Seidou High School will have a hard time hitting his ball.

However, this seemingly invincible state is not without any flaws.

The catcher of Konan High School felt uneasy as long as he thought of the possible problems.

'Forget it, no more!'

He looked up and saw the score on the electronic board. The catcher of Konan High School's mood sank.

Now the situation has all turned towards Seidou High School. If the situation cannot be turned around immediately, then Konan High School will have no chance at all.

Thinking of this, the catcher of Konan patted his chest and gave Torajiro a sign.

The first ball: a straight ball in the middle!

This is completely different from the sign he played before.

On the pitcher's mound, Torajiro, who was cowardly before, now seems to be a different person with a high fighting spirit!

His eyes stared dangerously at the Batter on the strike zone.

It felt as if he could feel some pressure from the Yuuki.

Whoosh!

The preparations were lengthy, but the actual pitching motion was fast.

The white ball was like a laser beam going over the plate.

'Here we go, right in the middle!'

Seeing the moment when the white ball came flying, Tetsu was so calm but his mind was moving fast.

'It turned out to be a Straight ball in the middle!'

'This pitcher's the ball speed is actually not that fast. It was a few kilometers slower than Sawamura's real ball speed.'

'At this speed, the battery threw the ball in the middle.'

'They are aiming for a shut-out!'

With this thought, even if he didn't fully see the real break of the ball, he knew that after the ball entered his hand, it would definitely break.

Unless the opponent has jelly for a brain, they will never do this.

A breaking ball that suddenly breaks when it reaches the plate is very tricky for the batter.

Even if it is Yuuki, he doesn't dare to be reckless, and wait for the ball to break before hitting it.

Of course, he doesn't have to do that either. The ball that breaks only when it reaches the batter's hand is not unhittable for Tetsuya.

Their own Ace made them have a 'Profound experience' with this.

To deal with such a ball, there is no need to wait for him to be at hand!

Tetsuya made a forward step, and his whole body moved towards the pitcher's mound by almost half a meter.

Before the ball went above the plate, he swung early and Smashed the ball.

PANG!!!

After the white ball was bombarded, it soared into the sky.

"It is out, Out Of The PARK!!"

"This game, the first home run…"

"Yuuki!"

"Yuuki!!!"

The moment the white ball flew into the bleachers, the entire Koshien stadium was completely boiling!

Yuuki Tetsuya, at this moment, took his first step toward greatness!

"I didn't expect that such a powerful player is still hidden in a team that did not participate in Koshien before?"

"It's because of this that Koshien makes blood boil!"

"How rare is it! Although Yuuki is not a great figure in the minds of fans across the country. But in the evaluation system of professional baseball scouts, the evaluation of him is not low at all. I heard that last fall, there were already professional baseball scouts who quietly went to Seidou High School to scout him."

"Really?"

Real gold will always shine.

The talent and effort of The Captain, even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it.

As long as there is a suitable platform, he will become famous all over Japan.

On the field of Koshien, on the highly anticipated opening game.

The first time he stood on the strike zone, he swung decisively in the face of the opponent's first pitch.

And smashed the ball out of the field.

Yuuki also conquered the audience with his fantastic performance.

Whether it's the fans in front of the TV screen or the fans at Koshien.

They will deeply remember this name for a long time.

Yuuki Tetsuya of Seidou High School.

Led by the fans of Seidou High School, cheers got louder and spread out.

Everyone shouted the name of the Yuuki, and the momentum was much more enthusiastic than when the cheers for Sawamura were called before.

This scene successfully angered the three leaders of Sawamura's private fan club.

Obayashi, Kobayashi, and Miyamoto were actually secretly competing.

They didn't expect to be stolen from the limelight by someone else.

Although he is also the representative of Seidou High School, he is also the captain of the baseball team.

But to the Brotherhood of Red Heart and the Demon-King's Guard, except for Sawamura, everyone else is someone else!

"No, it seems to be a problem of our thinking. Originally, in other stadiums, the scale of thousands of people is not small. We all cheered in unison, and we completely led the trend in the stands. But the stands in Koshien are too big. There are too many audiences, and our numbers alone can't shake the entire stadium." Miyamoto frowned.

Looks like they need more people.

They thought the same thing before, and their number was not small, with thousands of people coming.

However, after arriving at Koshien, I found that the number of people who came here only accounted for less than one-tenth of the audience.

To be honest, this is already very amazing.

Nevertheless, how can such big Fan Clubs like them be a supporting role?

The three of them have their own problems to solve.

On the field.

With a two-run homer, the score became 3-0!

When they saw this huge score, all the rivals in Tokyo, watching the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV almost sighed in union.

"The game will be difficult for Konan High School!"

It is easy to say that the game is difficult. If the score is drawn to three points, Konan High School can make a comeback and win!

But the Ace of Seidou High School is Sawamura.

The entire competition in the West Tokyo area has successively encountered the dark horse Yakushi High School with super offensive strength and Inajitsu, the top giant in the region.

And Sawamura Eijun didn't lose a point!

Konan High School wants to get from Seidou High School. To be precise, to get more than three points from the hands of the Sawamura Eijun is a hard task!

In the rest area of ​​Seidou High School, The faces of all the players were extremely relaxed.

Immediately after Yuuki scored a two-run homer, the rest area at Seidou High School turned into a sea of ​​joy.

It doesn't feel like it's just a lead at all.

Rather, they look like have already won the game.

In the rest area of ​​Konan High School.

"Although It's just a two-run home run, but aren't these guys from Seidou a bit too happy?" Konan's assistant coach muttered strangely.

'Sure enough, they are a team that hasn't scored in Koshien for several years.'

"The reason the opponent is so happy is probably not just because of the two-point home run. It's because they believe that their Ace pitcher will not drop more than three Runs in this game." Coach Mukai's face became extremely heavy.

He had never imagined that the players of Seidou High School would trust Sawamura Eijun so much.

'Isn't he in first grade?'

'This is strange!'

No matter how tough the first-year player is, to make the second- and third-year Senpais, trust a first-year Kohai this much.

This is a rare situation.

For Mukai, this is also the first time he has seen it.
