Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 140 The Old Man's Team
After the great victory in the first game, Qingdao High School left the field immediately.

After a while, other competitions will be held here.

The only venue of Koshien is the main venue, where all matches from the first round to the final will be held.

So after the game is over, you have to leave immediately, no one will give you the chance to linger.

The games in Koshien are very tight and do not allow for any time difference.

This is a program that people all over the country are watching in front of their TVs, and there is no room for error.

After Qingdao High School left the field, they did not go directly back to the hotel where they were staying. Instead, they went directly to the audience seats without even changing their clothes.

In every subsequent game, their next opponent may appear.

We need to see their strength first.

"The next match is between the Hokkaido region's Troll Daifujijuan and the Shikoku region's Yamadaiji Academy. Please prepare to enter the field, both teams."

As soon as Qingdao High School sat down in the audience seats, the broadcast started.

The time is really tight and the task is heavy!
"How strange! The representative team of Hokkaido this time is actually the trolls."

Zhou Hui pinched his chin.

He himself is from Hokkaido and has dealt with many Hokkaido high schools.

Almost all the strong and famous high schools in Hokkaido have extended olive branches to him.

Tomakomai High School, Fōtani Akira's alma mater, is also one of them (Tomakomai is divided into junior high school and high school departments).

As a large region, Hokkaido has a large number of high schools, ranking among the top three in the country.

It is absolutely difficult to make it to Koshien in such a region.

And if it was one of those old famous schools, it would be fine, because then Seidou High School at least would have first-hand information about them in Koshien.

But suddenly a team they had never seen before arrived, which might not be good news for Qingdao High School.

"The Giant Giant Vine Scroll..."

Zhou Hui kept repeating this name
"interesting."

Zhou Hui has some connection with this team, and he will not forget to supervise this team.

Zhou Hui still can't forget the old man who once helped him.

If that old man hadn't been there that day, he might have been very embarrassed.

At that time, the old man also invited Zhou Hui to join their giant troll vine to attack Koshien together.

But Zhou Hui refused.

What he could not have imagined was that the giant troll Daitojuan led by the old man actually came to the Koshien stage.

Zhou Hui also admired him very much.

The game is about to begin, and the first to attack is the troll vine.

The students at Shanda Temple College were still practicing passing and catching the ball on the field, and the first batter of the troll Da Tengjuan had already arrived at the preliminary batting area and was ready.

"Hahahahahahahaha, Hongo, this is your first time entering Koshien, right? Are you nervous?"

Mr. Nitta asked the team's ace pitcher, Hongo Masamune.

In his first year, Hongo had already become the ace pitcher of the giant giant Daifujimaki and led the team to Koshien.

All of this is closely related to Mr. Nitta.

"Of course. How can I not be nervous when entering Koshien in my first year?"

Hongo replied.

But there was no sign of tension on his face.

In Hokkaido, he is the absolute king.

It is common to strike out ten people in a row in one game.

The experience of the summer competition has given him great confidence.

"That's what I think. A pitcher like you can't perform well on a big stage. The four freshmen at Seidou High School who were your age just finished their game, but none of them were nervous. Really, is the gap that big?"

"What did you say?"

After Mr. Nitta said this, Hongo immediately became unwilling and turned around to attack Mr. Nitta.

"Hongo!" The team's catcher immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Hongo.

Koshien is a nationally broadcast event and negative emotions must not be spread.

"And Zhou Hui from their team is actually my first recruitment target. It's just that he didn't come, so I had to compromise and tell you that you are my first recruitment target. The two of you are totally incomparable, hehe..."

Old Man Nitta smiled.

It seemed as if he was always irritating Hongo.

Belittle your own people and exaggerate your opponents.

What is the logic?

"In short, I certainly hope you win this game. I also want to crush Zhou Hui's dream of dominating the country. No matter what, everyone just needs to work hard."

After mocking Hongo, Mr. Nitta still cheered for the troll Otojuan.

He knows that the current ceiling of their lineup is the championship.

We must not fail in the first round.

"Yes!"

Hongo didn't say anything, but just looked at old man Nitta with a resentful look.

"Top of the first inning, Giant Giant Fujimaki is attacking, first batter, left fielder, Tanabe-san."

The match between Giant Giant Vine Scroll and Yamadashi Academy has begun!

Standing on the sidelines of the audience, Zhou Hui watched the game very attentively.

He also wanted to see how strong this old man's team was.

"kick off!"

Yamadai Temple’s ace pitcher is a big third-year pitcher.

The whole body is bloated, because he is too fat, there is too much fat on his face, and his eyes are squeezed into a slit.

Seeing such a huge body, Sawamura began to tremble.

"Won't this pitcher lose his balance when throwing the ball?"

Sawamura couldn't help but complain.

With this body shape, a pitcher has lost the most important balance.

Even a casual fall can cause lifelong damage to your body.

He looks so clumsy, I don’t know how he became an ace pitcher.

"Whoosh!"

Despite his large size, the ace pitcher of Yamadaji Academy is very agile in his pitching.

His pitching posture was extremely smooth, which was totally disproportionate to his huge body. It looked as if a light soul was attached to this body.

The ball speed is about 145km/h, faster than Yoshida!
Even in Koshien, this pitching speed is unmatched.

The average pitch speed of high school students is only 138km/h, and his speed is 7km/h higher than the average.

Although they cannot compare with monsters like Fōgiya Akatsuki, with this ball speed, Zhou Hui no longer doubts the authenticity of their entry into Koshien.

"Qiang!"

Tanabe swung the bat without hesitation and was very determined. He continued to apply power and hit the center of the ball steadily.

The ball flew high into the outfield. Even though the outfielders from Yamadera Academy were defending deep, they still had no way to stop it and could only watch the baseball fly out of the field.

home run!
First bat, first ball, home run!
The audience at the scene felt like they were watching a science fiction movie.

Whether it was the attack by Qingdao High School in the previous game or the mere hit by the troll Daitojuan, it was a feast for their eyes.

This year's Koshien is really beautiful!
Tanabe raised his right arm, ran back to home plate and scored.

1: 0!

The Troll Da Tengjuan established a leading advantage with just one goal.

Mr. Nitta’s team is really extraordinary!
