Chapter 81: West Tokyo Top 4

The sadness of Yakushi High School is completely different from the atmosphere with Seidou High School as the victor.

After the game, they got the support of almost all the audience at the scene.

Walking on the road, many of the audience still took the initiative to cheer and send blessings to Seidou.

"Seidou, you must do it!"

"Coach Kataoka, let's go this year."

"Demon King, you must bring your good luck to Seidou!"

"Yuuki!"

"Chris!"

"Miyuki!"

"Ryosuke!"

The team could still hear what the audience close to them was saying. As for the audience who are farther away, what everyone can hear is the name they shout.

Despite this, the players of Seidou are still very happy and grateful to these people even those who silently support them.

There are still mud residues on their game uniforms.

This is like a medal of honor, embellishing the efforts of the players of Seidou High School.

The score gap was huge, and it looked like a one-sided game. But the real situation, of course, is not like that. Yakushi is a worthy opponent. Seidou High School also defeated the opponent after a lot of hard work.

On the way back, Furuya and Haruichi seemed to have something on their minds and were very silent.

"What's the matter, is something on your mind?"

As a friend, Sawamura thinks that it is necessary to help if something troubling his friends.

"Eijun-kun, did you also shake hands with Raichi?"

Kominato asked curiously.

Sawamura nodded inexplicably.

After the game, Raichi cried like a child. Sawamura took the initiative to step forward and put down the challenge announcement.

"Looking forward to our next match!"

The simple Raichi, immediately calmed a bit, he looked at Sawamura and nodded, understanding that this was not the end and they would have another chance later.

It was also at that time that Sawamura shook hands with Raichi.

"Then have you noticed the calluses on his hand?"

Kominato Haruichi looked puzzled.

When Sawamura shook hands with Raichi, Raichi seemed to be energetic suddenly, and his whole person became determined. He shook hands with Seidou's players almost one by one.

Those third-year seniors' hands are full of callus themselves. Although they are not as dense as Raichi, they will not feel too much abnormal.

Kominato and Furuya are different from them.

They had just entered school for half a year, and they still had barely enough calluses on their hands.

The young Kominato Haruichi, holding the hand of Todoroki Raichi, it feels as if it is a steel plate!

He is a player in the same grade as them, but to think that he is such a monster.

Furuya Satoru and Haruichi Kominato were all inspired.

They have been promoted to Seidou first string by the first grade, and are entrusted with important tasks in the game. Although the two did not show it normally, they were actually very proud.

When they encountered Raichi, they suddenly understood how overconfident they were.

It can be said that Raichi has refreshed the worldview of Furuya and Haruichi to a certain extent.

Although there are big Demon Lord like Sawamura around, the distance between them makes it easy not to notice.

They knew that Sawamura was strong, but they felt that they were not too far away from Sawamura. As long as they work hard and put in the effort, it is not impossible to catch up with Sawamura.

But after seeing Raichi, they knew their original thoughts were very naive.

Raichi can hit a home run with Furuya's Fastball and he is much more skilled than Furuya, there is no doubt about that. Of course, the swing is also several grades higher than that of Kominato Haruichi, there is no doubt about that too.

Despite the different types, Kominato is self-aware. In terms of batting alone, he is really not an opponent of Raichi.

The skills of Raichi, which was almost crushing the two, suddenly became simple after facing Sawamura!

In two duels, Sawamura Struck him Out twice.

Then what is Sawamura's level?

Without having a good example to compare to, you will have no Idea. But when there is an example, the picture becomes clearer.

The gap between them and Sawamura is simply…

"Oh, it turned out you are frightened by Raichi's effort. No wonder, that dude is indeed a monster!"

Sawamura didn't know the complicated thoughts of Kominato Haruichi. He thought that Kominato Haruichi was shocked when he saw the calloused hands of Todoroki Raichi.

He remember he too was like this after shaking his hands for the first time.

In fact, it's no wonder that anyone who sees Raichi swinging the Batter and the steel-like palms can't help but tremble.

That kind of effort, even if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can feel it.

"Don't belittle yourself, you have your strengths, there is no need to go the same path as him!" Sawamura said simply.

Kominato Haruichi knew that Sawamura had misunderstood, but he didn't say much.

What else can he say?

If you want to catch up with Raichi and catch up with Sawamura.

They just have to work harder!

"I will never lose to them!"

On the side, Furuya had been silent all the time, but he clearly heard the conversation between Sawamura and Kominato Haruichi, and a strong momentum burst out from his body.

"Oh, you are this motivated?"

Sawamura felt this different fighting spirit.

With the end of the Seidou game, the games in various stadiums also ended one after another.

Under the perfect relay of Narumiya Mei and substitute Iguchi, Inashiro Industrial completely suppressed the opponent. Narumiya pitched into the seventh inning and dropped just one hit.

Sawamura pitched four innings against Yakushi High School and also dropped just one hit.

The Demon-King VS Tokyo Prince!

Right now, the media has already begun to Hype the game.

As for the other two schools that have been promoted to the semifinals, although they have outstanding performances, they have obviously become supporting roles.

Semi-final groupings.

Inashiro Industrial VS Sakurazawa High School.

Seidou High School VS Sensen High School.

Sakurazawa High School is the only public high school among the top four in West Tokyo. If nothing else, this alone is enough to make people be surprised at it.

Sensen High School is a bit famous in West Tokyo. In the spring of last year, they even won the runner-up in Tokyo, and they are usually the top eight in Tokyo and the regular in the top four in West Tokyo.

That being said this is a good team.

But compared with their opponents, they are somewhat inferior.

Inashiro Industrial is now the most powerful school in West Tokyo.

Seidou High School has just won the championship of the Kanto Tournament.

Compared with them, Sensen is a bit underclass, let alone Sakurazawa who is barely standing.

"The victory has been decided!"

Most of the media on the two battles have this view.

Compared with this irrelevant semi-final, they are looking forward to the final matchup

Seidou VS Inashiro!

Sawamura Eijun VS Narumiya Mei!

Demon-King VS Tokyo Prince!

As you can imagine, it must be an extremely exciting game.

It is said that the broadcast rights of the West Tokyo finals have been fired up at sky-high prices.

But, if the final match is not Seidou vs Inashiro, will these TV stations who bought the broadcast rights cry? (If it is me?..... yeah I will cry.)
