Fall Tournament Final (1)

The Autumn leaves fell, bringing with it a chilly air.

Around a month had passed since the incident with Daichi at home and Ken was on his way to the school for the final game of the Fall Tournament.

Luck would have it that they'd be facing their old rival Shuei High School for a spot in the Jingu Tournament. Ever since the departure of Carlos, their team had struggled to score runs.

If it wasn't for the supreme pitching from Kazuhiro, their club would have fallen greatly.

"Good Morning Captain!"

A bunch of first years were already waiting at the designated spot in front of the school, bowing their heads in respect to Ken who'd just arrived.

Mamoru and Shingo. These were the first years who had made it to the 1st team, showing their skills throughout the year.

"Morning." Ken said, sending a wave their way.

It still felt odd to be called Captain, but he couldn't exactly tell them not to call him such.
