Chapter 27: Luck!

Isashiki conveniently chose to forget the comic stunt he had just done.

Akikawa's catcher was surprised by his actions, but he did not underestimate him because of this.

Although Isashiki made a big joke of himself just now, a batter who can play at the core of Seidou's lineup must not be ordinary.

'We still need to be careful.'

Having said that, Sekiguchi can't help but want to laugh when he thinks of Isashiki's stunt.

As the main force of a Famous School, Isashiki will be a joke for a long time in the future, right?

If he were in his place, he would be embarrassed for a long time.

'Come on, Shun. Solve him!'

On the pitcher's mound, Shunshin looked at Isashiki in confusion.

'He doesn't know if it was his delusion, but he felt that Isashiki was just swinging the bat normally, and he wasn't out of his pace at all.'

'That swing is very sharp!'

'Such a Batter can be very scary.'

On the second ball, he threw the ball to the inside corner.

Whoosh!

The white ball whistled.

Isashiki swung the bat with the same strength as before.

Buzz!

The bat and the small white ball passed by each other, and no one touched the other.

"STRIKE!"

Two Strikes, no Ball. The Batter was chased.

After chasing Isashiki, Shunshin also resumed his rhythm and pitched a fishing ball.

His fishing balls are all Balls in the outside corner!

'Got you!'

Seeing that Isashiki didn't take a step forward, Sekiguchi and Shunshin were overjoyed.

If you don't step toward the zone you will never hit the outside corner ball.

They didn't even think about the situation where Isashiki would not swing the bat.

Isashiki has always swung the bat in normal times, why wouldn't he swing when he has been chased?

To put it mildly, at a time like this, Shunshin and Sekiguchi had already simulated in their minds the picture of Isashiki being solved.

However, unfortunately, this picture did not appear.

Although Isashiki Jun's feet didn't move, his body was awkwardly bent forward, and the bat in his hand was sticking out like a pole weapon.

Ping!

After the white ball was hit, it passed between the first and second baseman.

Akikawa's second baseman dived toward the ball, but he didn't touch it at all.

"Oraaa!"

With a loud roar, Isashiki took this opportunity to get on base.

The first hit of Seidou High School appeared!

Moreover, their next batter is the unstoppable fourth batter Yuuki Tetsuya.

Not only hits but also scoring opportunities.

Sekiguchi and Shunshin were left with only a question mark on their minds.

They were dumbfounded!

It felt like seeing someone jump three meters and easily fly up to the second floor.

'How did he get a hit?'

Two Outs, someone at first base!

"Fourth Batter, first baseman, Yuuki-kun."

And now, it was the turn of Tetsu, the fourth Batter.

Seeing the Yuuki Tetsuya on the strike zone, the small heart of Sekiguchi almost burst open.

'Do you want to Walk him?'

From the information collected before, Yuuki Tetsuya is very scary. When there is someone on the base, it is extremely dangerous to fight against him.

'I don't want to Walk him at a time like this. Now is not the time to back down. Only by defeating all the batters in Seidou here will we have a chance to fight back.'

Yoh Shunshin was very tough.

'Okay!'

Yoh Shunshin, the soul of the team, has already made a decision. So there is no reason not to support him.

'Let's do it!'

"Hit it out, Tetsu!"

On the base bag, Isashiki raised his hand to cheer for Tetsuya.

On the strike zone, the Tetsuya was unmoved.

His eyes were fixed on Shunshin, the bat in his hand was raised high, and no part of his body was deliberately stiffened, but he was ready to go.

'Really scary!'

Sekiguchi frowned as he looked at Yuuki and waited for the ball.

In this stance, it felt like no matter where they pitched, he could hit.

On the pitcher's mound, Shunshin's fighting spirit was very high.

Fighting against such a batter made him extremely thrilled.

This makes people feel enthusiastic, think calmly about tactics, and set up traps…

'That's why I came here!!'

"BALL!"

Ping!

"FOUL!"

Two balls, one Ball, one Foul.

The count is one Strike and one Ball.

'The trap has been laid, and it's time to harvest.'

After two balls, Shunshin threw the fishing ball.

Whoosh!

On the strike zone, the eyes of Tetsuya suddenly became bright.

BUZZ!!

Tetsuya swings, like a tornado sweeping the lands.

Ping!

After the white ball was hit, it flew to left field.

The speed of the ball is very fast, and the place of the landing is also good.

"Haha, as expected of Tetsu."

Isashiki laughed and started running to second base.

"Takada!"

Yoh Shunshin's eyes were full of horror, and he quickly reminded the fielder behind him.

"Stop it with your body!"

He is not expecting Takada to run seven or eight meters and solve the batter for him.

He hoped that Takada could catch the ball after the first landing point.

If the ball went through the field defense, Isashiki Jun, who started early, could even run straight back to home plate and they would lose points first!

The blow to Akikawa Academy will be devastating.

Their strength is not of the same level. If there is another problem with the defense, the consequences will be unimaginable.

On the outfield.

As the weakest one in Akikawa Academy, Takada was about to cry!

The ball was too fast, he was losing hope.

Nevertheless, thinking of Shunshin and his friends, he still gritted his teeth and ran towards the ball.

'Even if you use your body, you have to stop the ball.'

Tears blurred his vision, and he fell down while running.

However, Fate played a small joke with Seidou.

The ball landed directly in Takada's Mitt after his fall.

"I, I caught it!"

When Takada cried and raised his Mitt, the audience exploded.

"Aye yo what da-!"

"Impossible!"

"What kind of luck does Akikawa have?"

Takada held up his Mitt while wiping his nose and tears with his sleeves.

He was so happy, so excited!

"I did it! I did it! I did it for the team!"

The players of Akikawa were so excited, they all wanted to lift Takada up and celebrate.

On the pitcher's mound, Yoh Shunshin breathed a sigh of relief and then returned his gaze to Yuuki.

A trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

'This Batter is different from the rest of Seidou!'

'He is really strong!'

In Seidou's rest area.

Sawamura, Chris, Miyuki, and Kuramochi looked at each other.

"Today, Luck is on the opposite side."

Sawamura smiled wryly.

If it's against other strong players, it's just a matter of being good and failing to get a hit.

However, the outfielder from Akikawa can catch this, it can only be said that Seidou is really unlucky.

"Faced with the Tetsuya's hit, he bravely ran forward and that was the result," Chris said calmly.

At the end of the first inning, the score between Seidou and Akikawa is still 0:0!

On offense, Seidou was in the top four, and only Isashiki Jun, who made a comical stunt, hit a single hit.

In the first half of the second inning, Akikawa attacked.

"Fourth Batter, pitcher, Yoh-kun."
