(Part 7)

All Infrasonic Waves showered over Aigou outside the pitching line with not even a single run given out of the last four balls. Aigou at Seraph's sight clicked his tongue annoyed.

"Tch! all his speedy boundary deliveries yet I don't return them back harshly in case of getting catch out but this one, I'll make sure to blast it off for a six!" he gritted.

Seraph glanced at Senri who smiled back. Heading away from the pitch he rushed towards the popping crease again. Aigou tapping his bat waited for the ball.

Seraph leaving the ball from his grasp whispered, "Infrasonic Glint…"

The ball wheezing with immense pressure away from the pitching line suddenly slowed down as Aigou stepped ahead from the batting crease trying to slam the ball.

However at that moment Seraph snickered, "That is not what it is… Eternal Bliss!" "Huh?!" Aigou uttered puzzled. The ball immediately attaining power turned towards the leg side of the wicket evading his bat's hit. Flinging a little away from hitting the wicket's bail Feng instantly caught it. Taking the chance and seeing Aigou away out of the batting crease, he slammed the ball on the wicket declaring an out.

"OUT!" Feng shrieked as Seraph pointed his middle fingers up from both is hands.

The umpire standing on the square leg raised both his fingers up claiming a wicket! The middle schoolers over joyed in a frenzy surrounded Seraph and Feng cheering. "Ah~ Marvelous!" Seraph reached his hands towards his hairs chanting ardently. 

"It's an out! He was clearly stumped!" Theo pointed jumping up and down as Poseidon clapped his hand with Cassiel and Ebraham.

"Hella great Captain!! He ruled the Second batsman of those highschoolers straight to the pavilion!!" Xander, Luka and Aryan cheered.

"Yahoo! That makes our third wicket! You rock and roll Sera, Sera!" Adam clinged over his back ruffling his hairs as Helios and Gabriel dubbed his back.

"Well done." Xavier congratulated. 

Aigou turned around to glance at the fallen bails. Exhaling deeply his Door of Radiance vanished as he headed back to the highschoolers pavilion. The entire stadium rooted for the middle schoolers with loud applauds.

"Wonderful…" Alan remarked.

"Aigou Mir Yuaan, marches back to the pavilion on the 16th over with 64 scored runs." Nidou wrote in his file.

Mir stared, "His balling is indeed a jewel like asset for you."

"It's not only him. They are all jewels." Nidou corrected, "However, since his balling is similar to Zachariah's, left handed pacer he is indeed a jewel."

"Zachariah?" Yusuf inquired.

"That little one…" Alan spoke, "Is head on ready to conquer Zachariah's world record breaking delivery. The fastest delivery in the entire world."

Mir glanced at Nidou surprised, "Is that true?"

"Indeed, chief councilor Mir. Didn't you realize it with his balling speed? His speed is the highest from all the middleschooler ballers, 172.8 km/hr. with the strike rate 1of 44.8. Upon which his speed is still evolving." Seles informed.

"That one with black hairs…" Alan referred to Ryan, "Is dead set onto beating Ren's spins with his. While that one with grey hairs…" he shifted over to Kenzo, "Is dead set onto beating Isa over his over confidence."

"As for that golden brown one…" Alan's sight instantly grasping Xavier he whispered, "He's dead set on beating Senri right now."

"Senri?" Yusuf blinked.

"Yup, he won't let him off the hook." Alan grinned.

"Unbelievable…" Drake swallowed.

"Haha! They all have long held grudges against them. They won't let them off the hook so easily." Nidou grinned.

"After all… the sight of the highschoolers would be graver then hell right now." he added glancing at the highschoolers stand. 

The highschoolers who weren't able to utter a single word stared at Aigou who came tossing his protective gear and bat away settling down panting hard. Sweat dripping his forehead like waterfall. Kazuna handed him a sports drink. Keeping a cold, wet towel over his head, Aigou grasped the bottle from his hand whispering, "Thanks…"

Elias sitting beside him stared anxious and silent.

"Those runts…!" Orion gritted annoyed, "I feel like sending them all straight to the hospital one by one!"

"Not that it would make anything better Orion boy." Ren stood up tossing his bat on his shoulder. Wearing only his elbow pads and helmet he headed out. His glare threatening he smirked, "We'll crush them in their own game!"

Kenzo glanced at Ren who made his way towards the pitch. "Xavier." he called.

"Hm?" Xavier walked over.

"Before commencing your plan, isn't he trouble?" Kenzo referred to Ren.

Xavier smiled, "He is. Quiet a big at that."

Kenzo eyed him speechless, "Then…?"

"Together with Senri Ibn Daud he has claimed 'SYNCRO' However, both of them are spin returners. Might as well be hard to even activate it." Xavier informed.

Kenzo realized, "Right…"

"Syncro and Roaring, these two abilities can only activate once particular conditions are met. Such was the case with Aigou, when Elias and he both had become familiar with the pitch and our balling styles they immediately activated 'Roaring'." Helios walked over.

"Coach Nidou told us before, if the conditions are hard to meet even Syncro and Roaring cannot be activated until and unless it is forced by the batsmen. However, even forcing has its own negative impact on the user's body." he added patting Xavier's shoulder.

"So it's fine until the conditions aren't met right? Can you do that Xavier?" Kenzo asked.

Xavier nodded, "Hm. Seraph will aide me too. Since they both are spin returners, pace balls aiming within and outside the pitching line2 like ours are the greatest hassle to conquer. As for the technique and mental disorganization, we'll do that without a fret."

Cassiel observing Ren informed, "Ren Maaz, a Second Year High schooler and an Emperor like cricketer, Age: 17, Height: 185cm, Weight: 67 Kg is an All-rounder. From the balling side he is a right handed spinner who excels in delivering all kinds of spin deliveries while from the batting side he is a left handed batsman countering spins too. His emperor like and confident play on the pitch amid the climax of innings have earned him the title of 'Emperor of Climax' ranking him Number '9th' on the base's genius's list. His abilities on the pitch are still quite in the dark however just like we witnessed back then. The abilities he used mostly resembled the infamous Pakistani Phoenix spinner, Musa Ty Alexandro or Ryan's father to be exact. He has also claimed "SYNCRO' with Senri Ibn Daud, making them the best spin returner duo of the entire base."

"Could you please stop already… their achievements are endless." Isaac uttered tired.

"Wow, we just got rid of the Roaring pair and here comes the Syncro one." Claude smacked his forehead in disbelief. "Moreover, again a left handed batsman…" Lucifer added.

Poseidon smiled, "They are our seniors after all. Experiencing the world and taking on different enemies. They have quite vast knowledge compared to ours. After sending three of the players back to the pavilion they'll surely pay us back twice fold."

Seraph's over ending with 155 runs scored Xavier took the next over in his hands. Ren ruling the batting crease tapped his bat.

Xavier balling the first delivery of the over whispered, "Critical pace, Slashing Knot!" The Yorker on the pitch's hit, busted into eight pieces aiming for the wicket's right bail. Ren smirked. All of a sudden his figure began to dissipate like pixels.

"What?!" Hadi and Aryan gasped baffled.

Suddenly revealing himself, eight Ren stood on the pitch holding their bats. Slamming the eight pieces of the ball simultaneously to different sides of the pitch he whispered, "Clones of Emperor!"

The pieces of the ball immediately changing into a single ball crashed before Xavier's feet blazing powerfully towards the straight hit boundary. Xavier glanced at the ball which Heber picked up from the boundary line.

"He… made eight copies of himself just to return every single pieces of Xavier's Yorker?" Helios gulped.

"Crazy…" Ryan whispered restless. 

"Is he for real?! How come there were so many of him at a single time?!" Christopher rubbed his eyes opening them again astonished.

"That's his terrifying clone technique. He often uses that on fielding position. Especially cloning himself on all slips." Cassiel informed.

"But, isn't that out of the rules? There are only 11 players to field wouldn't his clones create misbalance? They should be banned! Moreover, eight of them on the batting crease?!" Aryan asked.

"Nope, they are only copies of himself that vanish after completing their tasks. The umpire pays no heed or it's because… the umpire is unable to detect their presence at all." Poseidon apprised.

"Seriously?!" Silas and Jonah shrieked.

"And formally clearing there are not only 8 clones, it's a told of 10." Cassiel corrected.

"The hell…!" Ebraham and Hadi cursed scratching their heads.

"My poor little Xavier…" Mikael sighed.
