Penalty (1)

After getting Daichi out, Ken was affected by the penalty of his Limit Break skill, something that he had yet to experience up till now.

His body felt like he'd just completed a 10km run. It was an odd sensation to be standing still and suddenly feel fatigue hit his muscles all at once.

However, since the time limit was only 5 minutes he was not too worried. There were just 2 more batters that he needed to get through before he could return to the dugout and recover.

Yuta who was behind the plate narrowed his eyes. Ken seemed to be breathing heavily and looked a little lethargic, causing some concern to appear on his face.

'He's tired already? That can't be right.' Yuta thought inwardly.

The Ken he knew could pitch all day if he was allowed to.

Just as he was about to call a timeout and check on him, Ken sent a thumbs up to his catcher, letting him know that he was all good.
