Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 207 The two brothers of Shenzu! So terrifying!
"Ping!"

After Kuramochi hit the bunt, he sprinted towards first base.

But this time the angle was so harsh that there was no need for the first baseman, third baseman or pitcher Shenzu Yuto to take action.

Catchers Kamatsu and Dou Xiangqian picked up the baseball and threw it to first base, thus eliminating Kuramochi.

It’s hard to describe the blows that Kuramochi has suffered these times.

His short game seemed to have lost its usual level and he always had difficulty finding a reasonable angle to hit the ball.

Difficult to do.

After Akira Fōgaya reached base, no one could get the ball back to him from Seidou High School's luxurious batting line-up.

This is what makes Seidou High School fans speechless.

In their memory, Seidou High School's batting line-up has always been among the best in the country, but isn't it a bit unlike them to be unable to even send a batter to first base?
This is understandable.

After all, after Fūya Akatsuki, it’s Haruichi.

Although Haruichi is the starting second baseman for Seidou High School, it can only be considered a helpless move.

If Ryosuke had not been injured, the starting second baseman of Seidou High School would definitely not be Haruichi, but Ryosuke!

He is just his brother's substitute.

After Chunshi came on the court, he deliberately chose a wooden stick.

With his small body, he simply couldn't control the flexibility of the wooden stick.

Although he has been trying very hard to adapt and has hit a few good shots, he still seems to be uncomfortable.

This time it is.

The baseball he hit hit the first baseman directly on the head, within reach of the player who could catch it by taking a few steps back.

After the first baseman caught the baseball, Akihiro Kotani was still standing outside first base stupidly, not stepping on the base.

The first baseman was about to throw back, but after seeing Kouyanagi Akira, he immediately put his glove on him and tagged Kouyanagi Akira!
After hearing the referee's "out", Xiao Fōgaya was completely stunned.

He himself didn't even know how he was eliminated.

For a small high school student, wielding a wooden stick was beyond his ability.

The only person who could wield the stick with this body was probably his brother, Ryosuke.

It is difficult for others to do so.

The wooden bat itself is designed for strong hitters.

In the major leagues, wood bats are designated bats.

It's impossible to give a major league designated bat to a high school student.

If Chun Shi had chosen a metal bat, he might have been able to carve out a niche for himself.

There are no special regulations for high school competitions nowadays.

It's your choice between a wooden bat and a metal bat, use whichever is more convenient for you.

"If this continues, we'll have to change the shortstop, Kuramochi."

Director Kataoka's voice came.

Kuramochi had just been eliminated and was in a bad mood. He didn't listen carefully and thought it was a mockery from senior Ryosuke.

"Senior Ryosuke, just take care of your injuries. There's nothing wrong with my playing as a first batter and shortstop. Just take care of yourself. I have my own way of playing."

After Kuramochi said this, the entire lounge fell silent.

But Kuramochi didn't feel anything was wrong.

The students of Qingdao High School were all shocked!

Apart from Sawamura, there is actually someone else who dares to argue with Coach Kataoka.

Kuramochi is also the first one.

If Sawamura acted because he was young and ignorant and had just entered Seidou High School, then Kuramochi's behavior was like he was deliberately challenging coach Kataoka.

He might be the top student in the second grade, and he really doesn’t want to mess around anymore.

"Kuramochi, are you really talking to me?"

Ryosuke also spoke at this time.

"Of course, if I'm not with someone else..."

Halfway through his speech, Kuramochi finally realized that something was wrong.

The eyes that had just been closed to look cool opened.

In front of him, Director Kataoka, wearing sunglasses, just looked at him, as if waiting for him to continue performing.

Comparing the two voices just now, Kuramochi also understood something.

The person he scolded just now was not Senior Ryosuke! He was the big boss of Qingdao High School, Coach Kataoka!

"Now there's something good to watch."

"Senior Kuramochi is too fierce. Do you dare to challenge authority now?"

Zhou Hui also spoke highly of Kuramochi's courage.

Zhou Hui dared to say that even if Kuramochi gave him ten times the courage, he would not dare to challenge Coach Kataoka like this.

"This kid forgot to take his medicine when he went out today."

Masuko Toruya commented.

As a roommate in the dormitory, he knows Kuramochi best.

But he also didn't expect that Kuramochi now dared to speak to Director Kataoka like this.

This is something he doesn't even dare to do as a third grader.

Sawamura is a first-year and Kuramochi is a second-year.

Two newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers!
"Um, Director Kataoka..."

Kuramochi stammered and was unable to speak.

"Are you talking to me?"

The tone of Director Kataoka's voice let Kuramochi know that he was finished.

This tone is no different from the ice in Antarctica.

"No, no, how dare I, Director Kataoka!"

"If you were a third year, I really wouldn't be able to deal with you after Koshien, but have you forgotten that you still have a year before graduation?"

"No, Director Kataoka!"

Kuramochi also knew what was waiting for him in the future, and now his legs were weak.

"Hee hee hee."

Ryosuke was still laughing at Kuramochi.

This is what happens when you go against Director Kataoka!

Kuramochi glared at Ryosuke.

But how could a third-year Ryosuke be frightened by a second-year Kuramochi?

Kuramochi's action was just to satisfy his own heart.

"Senior Kuramochi, the road ahead will be difficult."

Sawamura was laughing at this time, completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

After seeing Sawamura, Kuramochi immediately shifted his attention to him like a cat seeing a mouse.

Just when I was worried about having no one to vent my anger to, here comes someone!

"You still dare to laugh? Look at my invincible scissor kick!"

The next second, Kuramochi subdued Sawamura to the ground, making him feel ashamed.

At this time, Director Kataoka didn't care either.

Although there was a small incident at Seidou High School, the game continued.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Strike! Batter is out! Three outs! Attack and defense switch!"

After Akira Fōtani came on the field, he quickly struck out three batters with his super-fast pitching speed and terrifying power.

The people at Yamamori Academy had no way to deal with him at all.

No one could touch his ball.

In the top of the fifth inning, Fōgaya Akatsuki shut out Yamamori Gakuin with just nine balls. All the tactics that Yamamori Gakuin had used to deal with Fōgaya Akatsuki were used without reservation.

But what's the use?
The actual results show that it is of no use.

They still couldn't touch Kouya Akira's ball, allowing Kouya Akira to shoot.

They thought that with their own abilities, they could swing the bat as many times as they wanted and eventually they would be able to hit the target.

But the fact is, they ended this half of the game without even touching each other.

Qingdao High School is still strong, there is no doubt about that!

Although a lean camel is bigger than a horse, Yamamori Academy is not a camel!

They are horses!

Seidou High School is a powerful club, and it can still lead them even though it has not entered Koshien for five years. Coach Suda is becoming increasingly confused about Seidou High School's strength.

Before the draw, he went to the temple to pray, determined to draw Qingdao High School!

Although it has appeared, the strength of Qingdao High School is not inferior to the remaining two teams, Teito High School and Giant Troll Daitojuan.

I thought I could easily pass the game, but I failed at the hurdle.

Although they are leading in the score now, Yamamori Academy has not yet come up with a suitable answer as to who should solve the problem of pitcher Akira Fōtani.

Maybe we can only rely on these two brothers Shenzu.

Don’t even think about it for anyone else.

In the stands, an old man took off his sunglasses and watched everything on the field.

"Not bad, I didn't expect you to be so dominant even in the semifinals of Koshien."

This person was none other than Akihiro Kouya's grandfather.

Although Eiji Fōgaya participated in Fōgaya Akatsuki's growth, it was not much.

He was the beginning of Akira Fōgani's love for baseball, but it was just the beginning.

Akira Fōtani plays in Hokkaido, but Eiji Fōtani lives in Tokyo.

Even if he lives in Hokkaido, he doesn't think it will have much impact on the development of his grandson.

No one has been able to catch the ball that Fōgaya Akihabara throws to him since he was a child. I have never seen one of his games, and Fōgaya Eiji has never even had the chance to watch one.

If Fōgaya Akatsuki had a competition in junior high school, Fōgaya Eiji, as his grandfather, would definitely not miss any of them.

Eiji Fōtani is also a baseball fan, and he would absolutely like to see his grandson dominate the field.

Although the old man looks gentle and honest on the outside, he is extremely fanatical on the inside.

If he hadn't set up his character here, Qingzhu would definitely not be worse than Sawamura's grandfather.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, Seidou High School attacked.

After the two "hitting machines" of Seidou High School, Yuki and Zhou Hui, came on the court, they lived up to expectations and scored two consecutive hits for Seidou High School.

It's just that the placement of these two hits was very tricky.

They were all in front of the left fielder, forcing them to barely get on base.

However, the two of them played in perfect harmony, and the baseball landed in the same place.

The people watching were in a state of confusion.

It's a matter of laughing or crying.

It has to be said that both of them are quite capable.

It’s just that the players who came on later didn’t continue their performance.

Isashiki Jun's random swing allowed Yamamori Gakuin to get a double play, and Masuko Toru could only hit a high fly ball to the outfield.

Qingdao High School returned empty-handed in this round.

Obviously Zhou Hui and Yuki played very well, but they were still a little short of perfection.

There is no way, there is absolutely no way!
"Top of the sixth inning, Yamamori Academy is on offense, fourth batter, catcher, Kazuto Kazuto."

Kamisada Kazuto stepped into the batter's box for the third time.

His strength was obvious to all the previous two times he stepped into the batter's box.

Two strikes, two hits, two runs on base.

Apart from Zhou Hui, is there anyone more terrifying than him?

I believe the answer is definitely no.

"Come on, hit him with your most proud straight ball!"

Miyuki patted his gloves and put them in front.

"boom!"

The sound of air being torn was heard. Although Kouya Akira's pitching movement was not big, the momentum was very scary.

Just this one movement may have absorbed all the air around the pitcher's mound.

If Xiao Jōgō deliberately tried to breathe, he might feel short of breath.

Although it sounds exaggerated, Akira Fōtani's pitching is so terrifying.

"Snapped!"

The baseball hit Miyuki's glove like a cannonball. The power of this ball was so strong that anyone who saw it would gasp.

"Bad ball."

The only flaw was that Shenzu and Dou didn't swing the bat and the baseball didn't enter the strike zone.

Facing such a fast straight ball, Kamisama and Tou were still able to control their muscle memory.

How scary! How scary!
Is this the catcher from Yamamori Academy?
"Now that your ball speed and power are no longer weapons that make you proud, what are you going to do?"

Eiji Fōgaya looked at Fōgaya Akira with interest, wanting to see how he would play next.

"boom!"

The next ball came again. With the lesson learned from the last time, the baseball controlled by Akira Fōgani finally entered the strike zone.

"Qiang!"

Kamizuru and Tou hit the baseball at the right moment, but the baseball did not stop within the bounds and was hit out of bounds.

"Out of bounds."

Still got rid of it!
In the first at-bat, Kamisama and To underestimated Fōgiya Akira's pitch.

After the first time, he learned his lesson.

The numbing sensations on his palms were constantly reminding him that he must not be careless.

“You actually hit it?”

Miyuki could not have imagined that Kazuto Kamado could catch Fōgaya Akira's pitch with just one ball.

"boom!"

"Qiang!"

Shenzu Hedou grasped the rhythm without any hesitation and hit the white ball directly at the speed of light.

This time, he used all his strength!

Shortstop Kuramochi failed to save the ball and the baseball rolled to center field.

Fearing Isajiki Jun's long passing ability, Kamisaki Kazuto stayed at first base obediently.

No one out, first base occupied.

Shenzu and Dou had three at-bats and three hits!
"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

But not everyone is like Kamizuru Kazuto. The next batter, Toyama, was struck out by Fōgiya Akira.

"The sixth batter, the pitcher, is Yuto Kamado."

After seeing Kamisama Yuto, Kamisama Yuto finally felt a little better.

It’s better to rely on your brothers than on anyone else.

What Qingdao High School did not expect was that these two brothers had such a terrible sense of the ball.

With just one ball, Kamisama Yuto caught the ball thrown by Fōgaya Akira, and without letting go of the first ball, he swung the bat and hit it.

He even got a hit!
Hakushu's defense was too close and the baseball went right through.

One out, runners on second and third base.

Facing these two guys, Akito Kotani was in a tough battle.

It might be really hard for anyone to restrain these two people.

The two Shenzu brothers have excellent striking ability and good ball sense.

As pitchers and catchers, they also have a lot of roles to play on the defensive end.

In the true sense, it is so terrifying!
