Ken squared up in the batters box, turning his attention to Kazuhiro on the mound. The boy had an arrogant expression on his face, likely built up from being told he was a genius since a young age.

A smirk appeared on Ken's lips as he could clearly see the trajectory of the ball, feeling his strength and coordination increase thanks to the skill.
