Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 26 The King of the Second Army
"OK, OK, leave this ball to me."

Zhou Hui's recognizable voice rang out.

Then he was seen rushing out from first base, catching the baseball, and passing it to the pitcher who was running to first base to make up for the deficit.

"Snapped!"

The moment the pitcher caught the ball, he stepped on the first base bag.

"here you go!"

The second team's pitcher gave Zhou Hui a thumbs up, as he felt very comfortable catching the ball.

This is a training match for the Second Army.

Several players from the second team were divided into two groups to compete against each other.

One side was led by Kenta Maezawa, and the other side was led by Zhou Hui.

Interestingly, both of them are first basemen.

"It seems that Zhou Hui has adapted to the second army's lineup and playing style. He should be getting closer to the first army."

Takashima Rei asked while standing next to Director Kataoka.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhou Hui already possesses the strength to lead an army.

This can be seen from yesterday's game.

An extra-long hit, plus a home run.

Even if it was taken from a second-team starter, it would be worthy of recognition, let alone taking it from a first-team rotation pitcher.

Fōtani Akira, who is in the same grade as him, has already entered the first team with one goal, while Zhou Hui is still training with Sawamura and Haruichi in the second team.

But even so, compared with other first grades, they have made great progress.

Most of the first-year students are still doing physical training aimlessly.

"That's true, but whether he is suitable for Qingdao High School remains to be considered."

"Is it suitable for Qingdao High School? How do you say that?"

Takashima Rei was shocked.

With Zhou Hui's strength, let alone in his first year, even if he was placed in the top four of the West Tokyo Regional Conference, Zhou Hui would be the center of the batting line.

"Seidou is not short of hitters now. Our batting line-up is among the best in all of West Tokyo. He is very strong, but unfortunately, he came at the wrong time."

This made Takashima Reiko panic.

She spent the most energy on Zhou Hui.

Not only did he visit three times, but he also made a lot of financial promises.

This is not what he cares about the most.

What distresses her the most is that Zhou Hui, a national championship-level hitter, cannot even make it to the first team. So what exactly are Coach Kataoka's requirements for the first team?

“Absurd.”

Takashima Rei said helplessly.

"However, no matter how many strong players come, we will not turn them away. For those who are truly capable, who cares what position they are in."

Unexpectedly, Director Kataoka had something to say next.

This made Takashima Rei feel relieved.

Who can stand someone breathing heavily while talking?

If Zhou Hui's strength was not so abnormal, but just above average, perhaps Coach Kataoka would really not have the idea of ​​promoting him to the first team.

But with such an abnormal talent, even though Qingdao High School lacked pitchers, he still couldn't help but desire Zhou Hui.

The second army's training match is about to come to an end.

Zhou Hui's team is currently leading 2:0.

This game only lasts seven innings. It's just a practice match and won't last too long.

Zhou Hui currently has two at-bats, both of which he has hits and one RBI.

In the top of the seventh inning, Zhou Hui was the batter again.

And this time, his opponent is Eijun Sawamura!
The last pitcher of Mae-en Kenta's team.

To be honest, Zhou Hui was not that confident when facing Sawamura.

Instability has been his biggest factor.

Sometimes he can demonstrate the level of the best pitcher in the country, and sometimes he is not as good as an elementary school student.

Of course, both of these are exaggerations.

"They're still facing each other."

Takashima Rei looked at the field with a smile.

Sawamura had a glove on his right hand and Zhou Hui held the bat steadily.

The two looked at each other.

They are all Takashima Rei's proudest masterpieces, and she didn't expect to meet them head-on in this occasion.

But everyone is willing to believe that Zhou Hui will definitely be the one laughing last.

Everyone on Douyin regarded Zhou Hui as the king of the second army.

Although he has only been in the Second Army for some time, his strength has long been obvious to all.

This title is really not an exaggeration for him.

Sawamura's first pitch came flying.

Sawamura's ball control has always been his biggest problem.

He did not receive any special professional training in junior high school, so his basic skills were not that solid.

Sure enough, this ball deviated from the good ball zone by about one ball.

"Could you please be more precise with your ball control?"

Sawamura didn't take it seriously. After catching the ball, he didn't make any adjustments, as if he didn't hear what the catcher said at all.

"Whoosh!"

"No adjustments at all?"

The catcher felt a headache.

"But fortunately, this ball is still in the strike zone."

As long as it's a good ball, it doesn't matter if he doesn't make any adjustments.

What if they already have this ability?

The catcher pressed his glove away.

"I'm sure to win this one!"

Seeing the clear trajectory of the baseball, Zhou Hui couldn't help but swing the bat.

As long as it is a good ball, he will not miss any of it!

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Zhou Hui laughed and prepared for a big one.

But soon, he stopped laughing.

The strong recoil made him feel a little uncomfortable and he almost couldn't hold the bat.

"Why is the ball so powerful?"

Not only was the ball powerful, but before it was hit, the baseball was floating uncontrollably and out of the strike zone.

At that time, although Zhou Hui had already discovered it, the bat had already been swung out and there was no room to pull it back, so naturally he didn't think too much about it.

But what he didn't expect was that the ball was so heavy.

"Qiang!"

In the end, Zhou Hui still managed to pull it out by brute force.

A ground ball to left field! And it went through the third base defense!

"so close."

Zhou Hui threw down the bat and said as he ran.

Now he still felt the recoil from the ball in his hands.

Zhou Hui stood on first base and looked at Sawamura, his eyes full of disbelief.

If I didn't have natural super strength, would I really have a chance to hit that ball?
And that ball is really magical...

Maybe Sawamura really is a more talented player than himself.

……

At the end of the game, the team led by Zhou Hui defeated the opponent without any bloodshed.

The score of 2:0 made him feel very satisfied.

This game was a complete shutout!
Zhou Hui's performance on both offense and defense was also very exciting, which was completely unlike what one would expect from a player of his age.

As for batting, he got hits in all three at-bats.

Even so, Zhou Hui was not self-satisfied.

Sawamura's ball made his mind go blank.

But anyway, the hit was made.

"Zhou Hui, do you have any special techniques for striking? Can you teach me?"

"Go away, Zhou Hui belongs to me. I treated him to a drink yesterday. You should teach me the striking techniques."

"Here's Zhou Hui, the king of our Second Army!"

"Yes, yes, that's right, the king of the Second Army!"

Less than a week after Zhou Hui joined the Second Army, he already had several "little brothers" following him.

It cannot be said that they are all younger brothers, there are also many seniors from the second and third grades.

But in any case, his strength has been recognized.

The title of King of the Second Army was also transferred from Yuan Kenta to Zhou Hui.
