(Part 2)

"Oh my! Now that's not good or is it? But, Ren Maaz… looks like he has taken a wide interest in you, little boy. So sorry to say but, you'll be facing two opponents in your turn now." Alan winked.

Ryan twirling his ball grinned, "Heh… now that's more I like it!"

"So you mean Ryan is facing two opponents?!" asked Ezekiel and Heber stunned.

"Indeed, because that little brat won't turn away if someone challenges him and Alan is already his opponent." Kenzo relied seriously.

"Tch! those highschoolers are despicable! Won't Alan be helped in that way?" asked Feng cross. "He will be…" replied Poseidon.

"However… don't forget, Alan is also a spin returner. I don't think he would walk over Ren's assumptions but, his own mind. It would be costly if a world ranker loses his pride over others words." Xavier continued as Helios and Seraph agreed.

"So this time the ones who have to be careful is not Alan but us instead." Gabriel assumed. Cassiel, Azazel and Adam eyeing Ryan stood silent.

"Hey, you over there!" Ryan called pointing towards Ren who sat inside the ground. "Hm?" Ren asked domineeringly.

"You can guess my deliveries…? Now that's interesting however it doesn't budge me a bit! If you have the guts, then guess them all, I challenge you, how does that sound?" Ryan claimed abruptly turning towards Alan he added arrogantly, "And you over there… just try to return them if you can."

Alan blinking his eyes sneered, "Eh~ this little one is one hell of a cocky brat! Alright, bring it on." Ren closing his eyes once again sat ready to guess.

"Hey, are you really doing it again?" asked Aaron confused. Ren silent smirked while the highschoolers stared at each other restless.

"That little! Doesn't he have a least bit of sense taking both of them on?!" asked Mikael cross.

"When did he ever had that to begin with…?" Hadi replied speechless. "Forget it, an easy victory isn't up to his liking anyway, so just let him play however he wants." told Theo as Seles smiled at Luka.

Ryan once more rushing towards the pitch balled harshly towards Alan. Ren in the meantime uttered, "A full toss top spinner…" he guessed. The ball making way across the pitch plunged over his Alan's head an into the wicket keeper's hand.

Alan comprehending the delivery stood serious looking at Ryan who smirked. "He guessed it right again…" whispered Azazel as Xavier and Kenzo stared silent.

"Right on the mark again, Ren." Isa smiled. "And, with this here goes the second delivery." informed Senri, "Say, Kazuna this little boy of yours is a big deal isn't he?"

"Don't be mistaken, I just fixed his bat that's all. Moreover, the one who has developed an interest in him is not me but Ren." Kazuna closing his eyes replied straightforwardly.

"Yeah… I can clearly see that." Senri responded. "Is it because of Ren's admiration thing?" Aigou asked Nagi. "It could be. Who knows?" Nagi replied.

"Little boy, don't be frustrated." Alan advised taking his position. Ryan once again rushing towards the pitch asked, "Who the hell who do you think you are telling me that?" Throwing the ball it bounced on the pitch's full length and into the wicket.

"It's fast!" Alan thought abruptly. Ren spoke without an ounce of effort, "A right handed off spin. An off break this time." Alan swinged his bat towards the leg side smashing the ball towards the boundary.

Ryan taking a deep breath eyed Ren annoyed. "He guessed it again…" sighed Adam in despair. "Just who the hell is he?!" asked Feng and Mikael annoyed.

"The 3rd spin master in our base, Ren Maaz. Due to his lack of interest in almost everything he stays low key however, After Rauf and Evan he captures the spin ballers place even leaving Aaron behind with his skills. As a batsman and baller of returning and delivering spins he has gained unimaginable sense of perception. That is the reason why he can guess Ryan's deliveries very easily." explained Seles.

"Augh~ a pain in the neck!" Feng and Ezekiel slammed the rail annoyed as Helios and Seraph exhaled. "Does that mean he is invincible facing spin balls?" asked Xavier.

Seles shook his head, "Of course not. No one is perfect. The reason he is third is because of that, Rauf and Evan are leagues ahead of him."

"No need to worry, you lot. From his eyes that rascal already has a plan." Kenzo smirking.

"But, why Ryan's spin's out of all? Didn't Gabriel went before to?" asked Adam confused.

Seles staring at the pitch sighed, "It because…"

Ryan taking a deep breath stretched his neck. "Now then… the warm up's done!" he claimed.

Alan hearing him blinked his eyes soon chortling. "You know, I feel annoyed since my deliveries are all called out loud before I even throw them and it ticks me off! So I just have to shut his trap first and deal with you at the same time." Ryan uttered cross.

"Oh my! Such a great plan! I look forward to it. If it will work by the way which I don't think will princely boy…" Alan grinned mischievously. Ryan eyed him grave.

"That boy of mine you just challenged is an admirer of your father. And, has been following his footsteps ever since he first met him when he was a child. So the moment he knew you were his son. He already kept his eyes on you." Alan informed.

Ryan hearing his words stood silent, his gaze widened which soon turned into a soft yet a bitter one.

"Ah~ now I get it! So it was all just like that old man's schemes. Really… now this ticks me off even more!" he whispered annoyed heading back.

"So you mean it's all because Ren admires Ryan's father?!" asked Azazel. "Now that's news to me." Cassiel wrote in his journal.

"Now I realized, the ability to name the delivery before even facing it…" whispered Seraph. "It was one of Ryan's father's famous ability. And, with that he never in his life got out against a spin delivery." he explained.

"Now this won't be please our little Ryan in anyway." Hadi gulped. "Yeah, since he wants to surpass his father more than anything else but, to think that someone else has stood before him before he could do that would annoy him even more." Feng added.

"It's alright, it's his chance to learn after all." Xavier continued as Kenzo nodded.

Ryan grinning at Alan changed the ball into his left hand. His hand twirling in a peculiar fashion. Ren eyed him in wonder.

"Looks like that brat is getting serious hun…" Haruf guessed as Evan agreed. Nidou and Rauf eyed them silent. Ryan hopping on his toes stood behind the baller's wicket. And, as soon as the wind blew he bowled towards Alan as it went into his stumps. Alan slightly surprised eyed the slow delivery which approached.

Ren grinned amused, "Heh~ A china man? A left armed unorthodox leg break." Suddenly the ball after a tip at the ground and increasing its speed went towards Alan as he smiled.

"A nice one!" he replied slamming the ball straight towards the highschoolers audience seat.

"And a six it is!" cheered Noah and Orion together. The ball flying towards them was directed towards Rauf who lifted his arm and caught it over his head effortlessly.

"Hehe…" Alan showed him a victory sign while he stared back. "Even though he is a total jerk and an ape, he sure knows how to act cool…" whispered Heber and Azazel.

"Pfft! An Ape! Haha!!" Laughed Adam as Seles blinked his eyes in disbelief. "And here goes the fourth one… with the delivery once again guessed right…" sighed Feng.

Xavier eyeing Ryan stared silently, "He is pressurized…"

Poseidon endorsed, "To think I would see him like this is unbelievable."

"It's alright, that rascal is going to come back all cool and mighty in no time!" Feng believed confidently.

"We all know he will but, there are only two balls left." Replied Gabriel. "Huh?! Does that mean Ryan will lose?!" asked Adam shocked. "I never said…" responded Gabriel as Adam interrupted shouting towards Ryan.

"Hey Ryan! Be calm and think carefully! Don't you dare lose! Since, I am the only one in this world you can lose to!!" he encouraged.
