Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 234: Landing is prohibited here
"Zhou Hui has come up, but he still didn't get a single point!"

Jin Wan said frantically in the audience.

Although he is only a second-team player, he is a player of Seidou High School after all, and at this moment he has brought himself into the game.

If it was him instead of Zhou Hui standing on first base, and he had not been sent back, he would have gone crazy long ago.

This is another reason why he couldn't join the First Army.

Not only is the strength insufficient, but also the mentality is unstable.

Who would dare to put you in the army with such a person?
Director Kataoka is not a fool, so he would not do that.

What the army needs is a group of strong baseball players with positive energy and enthusiasm, not hitters like Kanemaru who have no patience at all.

"I'm so sorry we didn't send you back."

As soon as he returned to the lounge, Zhou Hui received apologies from several senior students.

From his words, it can be heard that Isajiki Jun was a little impatient, as if he was being forced.

It's normal to say that apologizing to a junior is not something a senior would do.

What's more, he is a senior like Isajiki Jun who cares about his reputation, so he can't do such a thing.

Looking at the expressions of the seniors, Zhou Hui was also stunned.

This is only the first few games, it’s really not enough to call it an apology, right?

"what?"

Zhou Hui didn't know what to say. After trying for a long time, only one word came out.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you? You still want to hear the senior apologize to you? Impossible!"

Isajiki Jun became furious and started cursing at Zhou Hui, pointing at his nose.

To be honest, Zhou Hui was already scared when he got here.

Jun Isashiki's personality combined with his appearance makes him exactly like the villain boss in anime, or the kind of thug who bullies the protagonist in the early stages and is hung up by the protagonist to teach him a lesson in the later stages.

In short, all the impolite words seem to fit him so well.

"Don't be like that. Zhou Hui didn't say anything."

As a peacemaker, Chris immediately pulled Isajiki Jun away.

Although there was still anger on Isajiki Jun's face, he didn't say anything.

Zhou Hui was really wronged!

He himself didn't know what was happening, and he was treated like this.

Anyone would be dumbfounded if they encountered this situation.

"Qingdao High School, it's your turn to play defense."

The referee ran over to remind them, and only then did Qingdao High School realize that the game was still going on.

There was no one on the field except Ryosuke and Shirasu.

This scene is more or less a bit embarrassing.

"Sorry, sorry."

Realizing something was wrong, Yuki immediately led the team up and ran forward, apologizing to the referee as he ran.

The fourth baton of the Giant Giant Vine Scroll, Masamune Hongo, has been waiting for a long time.

"Hahahahahaha, it's still interesting to see a team coached by young people."

Old Man Nitta shook his head and smiled.

Isn't it said that Qingdao High School has a strong sense of discipline? Now it seems that this is just the case.

But this is not a reason for them to look down on Seidou High School.

Because Qingdao High School has Zhou Hui, they will never underestimate him.

"Masamune, prove to me that you are the best baseball player in the world."

"Bottom of the second inning, the giant troll Otomaki is attacking, the fourth batter, the pitcher, is Hongo-san."

After Hongo entered the strike zone, the momentum at the Giant Troll Vine Scroll's place was completely different.

Although there were only a few of them, they were all shouting with their own flesh and blood.

More than fifty people shouted out the momentum of more than five hundred people.

Naturally, Hongo's influence on the giant troll vine is not small.

If it weren't for Hongo, the troll Daitomaki would never have been able to enter Koshien in his lifetime.

It was Hongo who saved the giant troll Otomagaki.

If Zhou Hui had chosen to join the Troll Vine Scroll at that time, I'm afraid all these cheers would have been for him.

With his strength, it will be no problem for him to help the Troll Big Vinejuan become a champion lion team.

I wonder how much honor we will win by joining forces with Hongo.

But there is no way around it, Qingdao High School is more to Zhou Hui's liking.

"Don't be in a hurry for the first ball, just take your time, and go for the inside corner first."

"Whoosh!"

The white ball flew out of his hand and suddenly went towards the inner corner.

The location of this ball is quite tricky.

"Such a simple ball path is really boring."

After seeing Sawamura's pitch clearly, Hongo also pulled up his own bat.

After taking a step forward, he swung the baseball bat hard.

"Qiang!"

The moment the baseball touched the bat, it turned to the lower right corner, looking like a magic trick.

If this colorful changing ball is considered a magic trick, then Sawamura is a true "magician".

"The Magician of Baseball", if Sawamura becomes a little famous, this will most likely become his nickname.

The metal bat hit it, and the little white ball went madly toward the outfield.

A baseball hitting 200 km/h seems a bit understated nowadays.

With the help of local power, the baseball seemed to be destined to fly out sooner or later.

Just because of this change, the angle of the baseball was not controlled well, and the center of the ball was not hit, so it flew directly out of bounds.

"Out of bounds."

Although it was an out-of-bounds ball, the force was extraordinary.

It can be said that if the ball hits the center, it will definitely be a big home run.

This is because it happened to Sawamura. If it was any other pitcher, the ball would have flown out long ago.

Sawamura's shots have always been known for being weird and strange.

His weird balls make it difficult for many strong hitters to find the center of the ball, so naturally they can't hit it well.

Without some special skills, there is no way you can get into Qingdao High School's first team.

Sawamura is a pitcher with unique characteristics.

Not only him, the other three pitchers of Seidou High School are all very distinctive.

Although everyone has weaknesses and there is a possibility of being beaten if they are singled out, this follow-up shooting tactic makes up for this shortcoming very well.

Several people complement each other and form a pitching group at the Koshien finals level.

As a supervisor, Director Kataoka is naturally very proud.

It’s just that the competition for ace pitching could be fierce this fall.

This is why Zhou Hui does not consider pitcher as his first position.

Otherwise, he can throw five or six kinds of changeups and the butterfly ball, so he is definitely the best candidate to compete for the ace pitcher.

But he had already been convinced by Matsuoka.

As for the pitcher position, he will be there if the team needs him.

"It's okay, don't be scared, use the carter shot from the inside corner on the next ball."

Sawamura's cutter shot is not yet that proficient, it can only be said to be a semi-finished product.

But coupled with his flexible limbs, that kind of Carter ball can echo the characteristics of his quirk ball.

"Whoosh!"

The broad shoulders blocked the white ball on the left hand, and after a slow motion, the baseball flew out.

The moment the baseball penetrated Hongo's chest, it changed direction slightly and fell directly to the lower right corner.

But this change is negligible in Honjo's eyes, so just play it directly.

"Qiang!"

With a plan in mind, the silver-white bat caught the changing ball, created a very high arc, and pulled the baseball directly out.

"Outfielder!"

Looking at the direction where the baseball flew, Chris felt bad and immediately took off his mask to draw the attention of the outfielder.

The ball was carried very deep, exactly to the left outfield where Zhou Hui was defending.

Zhou Hui didn't expect that the baseball could be hit to this position so easily. His defense was still relatively forward.

If I run back, it seems like it's too late.

"Humph."

Hongo snorted coldly, threw down the bat and started running.

Sawamura's shooting power is just so-so, it's just that it's hard to find the shooting point.

But for Hongxiang, it was just a piece of cake.

Seeing that the baseball was about to hit the ground, Zhou Hui no longer cared about anything else.

If it lands, his left fielder will be lost.

So Zhou Hui in the left outfield slid over directly, with his right foot under his buttocks, and his left foot seemed to become a "bulldozer" to move over.

The glove on the left hand is also trying to find the position of the baseball.

The timing of the slide was just right this time. It would have been even better if I could have caught it.

"Snapped!"

As expected, Zhou Hui caught the baseball.

However, he had very good body control ability, but this time he couldn't control his body no matter what he did.

It was as if it was out of control and was still sliding forward.

"Stop it!"

Director Kataoka shouted loudly.

This was also an unusual move for him.

"Director Kataoka..."

Seeing Coach Kataoka like this, the third-year players began to murmur in their hearts.

Coach Kataoka seems to have never treated them like this. Zhou Hui may really be the most talented player in Qingdao High School right now.

But no matter how heart-wrenchingly his classmates from Qingdao High School and coach Kataoka shouted, Zhou Hui was unable to stop until his left leg hit the wall in left outfield.

"Zhou Hui!"

Such a shocking scene also frightened Isajiki Jun.

The scene of loudly scolding Zhou Hui just now also disappeared with this concern.

"I am fine."

Zhou Hui shook his head and stood up.

His physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people.

Showed the umpire the baseball inside the glove.

"Out!"

When Hongo heard that he was out, he gritted his teeth and looked at Zhou Hui in the left outfield.

How come he can be so strong?

Although this was not a head-on confrontation, Hong Xiang could clearly feel that Zhou Hui had crushed him in all aspects.

"Sorry, landing is prohibited here."

Zhou Hui smiled slightly and threw the baseball to the caddy on the sidelines.

"Is it really okay?"

Isashiki Jun still asked with concern.

If anything happens to Zhou Hui, Qingdao High School won't have to fight.

With just Hongo, the troll Otojukami can defeat Qingdao High School.

"no problem, no problem."

As he spoke, Zhou Hui jumped up and said that his legs were not affected at all.

Only then did Isajiki Jun feel relieved.

That save just now was a bit too risky.

It's just an out number, there's no need to risk your own safety.

One out and no one on base.

"Fifth batter, catcher, Yasuda-san."

"Yasuda, don't hit the ball to left field no matter what. If you hit it to left field, that guy will definitely catch it."

Mr. Nitta instructed.

He was very optimistic about Zhou Hui from the beginning, but he didn't expect that he was not only admirable for his striking, but also for his outstanding defensive ability.

His vision is indeed very sharp.

It would be a shame if someone with this kind of vision didn't become a professional baseball scout.

"It seems that the supervisor of the Giant Giant Tengjuan has a targeted strategy against you."

Although the distance was far, Jun Isashiki in the outfield still heard it.

After so many years in the outfield, his hearing has long been extremely developed.

"Then I'd be honored."

Zhou Hui didn't say much.

Isajiki Jun looked at Zhou Hui and for some reason, he always felt that he was pretending.

If Yasuda, a right-handed hitter, doesn't change his position deliberately, he will hit the left outfield with just a swing.

Left field is Zhou Hui's world.

How to do?
After a brainstorming session, Yasuda came up with a good idea.

"Isn't that all right?"

Raising the bat, Yasuda looked at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound.

"Whoosh!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

The first ball was an inside corner kick that went straight to his chest, but Yasuda let it go.

This ball was not what he wanted.

Diagonal throw, the next ball is the low outside corner.

"Whoosh!"

As expected, Yasuda guessed it right.

During the previous seminar, Mr. Nitta emphasized this pitcher.

His favorite way to shoot is diagonal.

First the inner corner is high, then the outer corner is low.

Just right!

"Qiang!"

"Third baseman!"

The third baseman of Seidou High School is the huge Toru Masuko. When he rushed towards the baseball, he didn't touch the baseball at all.

The baseball just rolled to left field.

His speed is still too slow.

"Okay, time to get on base!"

Seeing the baseball hit deep, Yasuda instantly became happy.

But Zhou Hui didn't say he agreed.

He walked quickly forward, picked up the baseball, swung his arm and threw it to first base.

"Whoosh!"

The baseball crossed the entire half field and flew past at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.

The flying speed and distance were so incredible that no one present could believe it.

"No way?"

“I hope he won’t be banned!”

"Probably not."

But these are just rumors among fans, and the real situation still needs to wait and see how things develop.

"Snapped!"

Like a cruise missile, the spirit fell into Captain Yuki's glove.

There is not the slightest deviation.

He can achieve no deviation at such a long distance. It would be a lie to say that Zhou Hui is not a monster.

When Yuki caught the baseball, Yasuda was still one step away from first base.

Although he quickly stepped forward, hoping to avoid the referee's eyes, it turned out that he was too naive.

The referees at Koshien are not that stupid.

"Out!"

After a moment of silence, the entire audience burst into applause and cheers.

They were all shocked by Zhou Hui's ban this time.

Is that human being?
Zhou Hui felt the cheers from the audience and squatted down silently.

Neither of these two goals were easy and it really exhausted him.

"I told you to get hit to left field, but you didn't listen!"

"Who knew he had such terrible arm strength?"

"nice shot!"

"Out of bounds."

"Out of bounds."

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