Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 259 New Ace
Hachioji Stadium.

This is a stadium located in West Tokyo, but there are also spectators from East Tokyo here today.

Not for any other reason, but because there is a game today from their East Tokyo area high school.

Teidong High School!

The ever-victorious East Tokyo team met the newly crowned Koshien champion, Seidou High School, in the first round of the autumn tournament.

This game is bound to be exciting.

As the absolute overlords of their respective regions, the two teams' meeting in the first round also attracted a lot of attention from fans.

On one side is the Koshien champion, and on the other side is the Koshien semi-finals.

This kind of drama, no matter how you look at it, should be a drama for the finals.

But due to the luck of the captains of both teams, the two teams met in the first round.

The auditorium was also packed.

Hachioji Stadium became increasingly lively with the cheers of tens of thousands of people.

“Today’s audience is really excited.”

Although he hadn't entered the venue yet, Miyuki could hear the audience's cheers in the player tunnel.

Today, Sawamura was not as excited as usual, which surprised Miyuki.

This kind of Sawamura is exactly the type he is not used to.

"You must be nervous as it's your first time as an ace pitcher."

After Zhou Hui said this, Sawamura immediately became unwilling.

"Nervous? Why would I, Master Sawamura, be nervous? Don't talk nonsense!"

After hearing what Sawamura said, Miyuki felt relieved instantly.

It’s okay, this is still the Sawamura he knows.

New captain, new ace!
A brand new journey for Qingdao High School is about to begin!

"In the first round of the Tokyo Regional Autumn Tournament, West Tokyo Seidou High School on the first base side will play against East Tokyo Teito High School on the third base side. The game will begin soon."

"Let's go!"

Zhou Hui walked at the front of the team and raised his right hand.

At this moment, he already looked like a captain!

Seidou High School and Teito High School came out of the player tunnel almost at the same time.

The two teams stood on opposite sides, and their eyes looked murderous!
Mukai Taiyang, who was standing behind Qian Xiangang, was filled with envy when he saw that Zhou Hui had become the captain of the team.

"This kid is actually the captain."

"Work hard, and after I retire, the captaincy will be yours."

Qian Xiangang tidied up his braids and said to Xiang Jing Taiyang.

"I don't care about it."

"Qingdao! Qingdao!"

"Qingdao! Qingdao!"

"Didong! Didong!"

"Didong! Didong!"

As the noise grew louder, the pace of Qingdao High School and Teito High School became faster and faster, and soon both sides arrived at their own lounges.

After changing their clothes, the starting players also put on gloves.

"The first battle..."

Zhou Hui clenched his fists.

Even if they are the Koshien champions, they may lose in the first game of the autumn tournament, so they cannot be careless at any time.

We must win! We must win this game!
Must take it down!

"Now all of you have forgotten your titles, forget your title of Koshien champion. Now you are just a group of ordinary baseball players! Take every game seriously and play every game as if it were your last!"

Coach Kataoka reminded the players as usual not to be too proud.

The excitement of winning the Koshien championship has not yet passed, and coach Kataoka also feels that these guys must be too proud.

Arrogant soldiers will inevitably be defeated. This is true!

He didn't want his disciples to fail because of this.

"it is known!"

"Leave it to us!"

"Going to Koshien once is not enough!"

"Come on! Come on!" Director Kataoka nodded.

Today's Seidou High School is more powerful than usual!

The only difference is that a new group of people with momentum has been replaced.

The third-year seniors of Qingdao High School retired, as if something was really missing.

All in all, we can still see what a championship team should look like.

That’s because Zhou Hui is still here!
Zhou Hui is the capital for Qingdao High School to become a strong team in Tokyo.

"Qingdao High School, start warming up."

"coming!"

All the students from Qingdao High School climbed over the fence and came to the court to warm up.

Sawamura looked back at the big “1” on his back and felt even happier.

"Come on, ace pitcher."

Miyuki smiled slightly and said to Sawamura.

"no problem."

Sawamura is also full of confidence.

The position of ace pitcher is not just talk.

He must show with practical actions that he deserves the position of ace pitcher.

It’s coming, the first game for this ace pitcher!
"Today's opponent is Seidou High School. I believe you have seen their performance in Koshien. Even the giant troll Daitojuan is no match for them. We should not underestimate them."

Coach Okamoto said to the players of Teito High School.

Even the giant troll vine is no match for them, which means it will be difficult for us to win.

This matter can be explained clearly using simple math problems.

The Giant Troll Vine Scroll defeated Didong High School, so the Giant Troll Vine Scroll > Didong High School.

Seidou High School defeated the giant troll Daitojuan, so Seidou High School > Giant troll Daitojuan.

To sum up, Qingdao High School > Teito High School.

"We will definitely try our best. Leave it to us, the supervisor."

Qian Xiangang showed a confident smile.

As the captain, Qian Xiangang would definitely not be the first to give in.

Supervisor Okamoto nodded and said nothing more.

It's these players who are playing the game, and it has nothing to do with him directly.

All he has to do is plan tactics and then find out the players' shortcomings.

This is his duty as an overseer.

"but……"

Director Okamoto looked up at the sky.

“Will it really rain on this sunny day as the weather forecast says?”

Supervisor Okamoto felt confused.

It's a cloudless day and it doesn't look like it's going to rain.

The weather forecast is no longer accurate?

Without worrying about all that, Coach Okamoto focused on the game.

Seidou High School’s warm-up is over and the game officially begins.

The players from Teito High School also stepped into the batter's box.

"Top of the first inning, Teito High School is on offense, first batter, center fielder, Kigami-san."

As Kigami walked into the batter's box, Miyuki also began to pitch.

This is Sawamura's first game as an ace pitcher, so he must not be careless!
But as the two teams were getting ready to go, no one noticed that the clouds in the sky began to increase and the temperature began to get cooler.

But no one cares about these things.

Still no one noticed.

But what they didn't know was that this game would soon be affected by uncertain factors.

"Whoosh!"
