Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 260 Light Rain
"Whoosh!"

In the first pitch, Sawamura aimed at Miyuki's glove and hit an inside corner ball into the chest of batter Kikame.

You can feel it's sharp just by looking at it with the naked eye.

After going through the baptism of Koshien, Sawamura has grown up a lot.

It gives people a lot of pressure from a visual perspective!

Once upon a time, Sawamura's pitch didn't look nearly as sharp.

When Mugami saw the baseball, he stared at it, but he had no intention of swinging at it.

He is the first batter of Teito High School. He knows his role, so there is no need for him to swing at the first pitch.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"Sawamura is in good shape today."

"The straight ball is very sharp!"

"He's really something!"

Through the first ball, fans of Seidou High School saw that Sawamura was in great form today.

The pitcher who just returned from Koshien is naturally very strong.

Especially the man who came back with the ace pitcher's number on his back.

Although Seidou High School's pitching staff has always been criticized, after Tamba retired this year, they did not even introduce other pitchers to the first team.

But this does not mean that their competitive pressure is less.

Fall down to the valley!
This monster, whose straight ball can reach 150km, is Sawamura's biggest rival.

But it's no use!
Sawamura still earned the title of ace pitcher with his own strength and did not give it to Fōgaya Akira.

No matter how talented he is, it won’t work!
"Next ball, low freak ball in the outside corner."

Sawamura's improvement is not just in the inside corner.

And his quirk ball.

In the past, Sawamura's quirk ball was to catch the opponent by surprise, which made it very easy for the opponent to hit the ball once he saw through it.

Because at that time, almost all of Sawamura's balls were weird balls.

But now he can switch freely between weird balls and straight balls.

This means that he has countless possibilities in one at-bat.

Such a perverted pitcher may really become one of the future faces of Seidou High School.

"Whoosh!"

He shook his wrist, thinking of the feeling, holding a shield in his right hand and a whip in his left.

Baseball pitched!

"Outer corner?"

After seeing the position of the baseball, the wooden bat also determined its position and swung the bat to hit it.

"Qiang!"

The moment it touched the baseball, the baseball directly avoided the force point of the bat and did not let the wood hit the center of the ball.

"Damn it!"

Mu Shang complained and could only run the bases.

In fact, he should have waited a bit before swinging at this ball.

If you don't swing the bat, the change of this weird ball will go directly out of the strike zone.

At that time, one good ball and one bad ball.

There is actually no harm in it for Didong High School.

If I have to blame someone, it's that he was too impatient.

Everyone knows that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Zhou Hui was also excited when he saw the baseball rolling towards him.

It’s not a bad thing that you can move around as soon as you get up.

After putting away the baseball, Zhou Hui stepped on the first base.

"Out!"

The first out came that easily.

Mugami of Teito High School also paid the price for his anxiety.

One out and no one on base.

Everything was moving in a better direction, but at this moment, the situation suddenly changed...

The originally clear sky suddenly became filled with clouds.

Zhou Hui also noticed that a dark cloud was moving towards here.

The weather forecast was right, it is likely to rain today.

But if it rains, it will be a big test for Sawamura.

This is not only a big test for Sawamura, but also for all pitchers, including Taiyo Mukai of Teito High School.

"Sawamura, take care of the batter behind you as soon as possible."

Zhou Hui suddenly shouted.

No one knew why, and no one noticed that it was starting to get cooler.

This is the sign before the rain.

In order not to lose points in the first game, it is a better choice to end this game quickly.

"I see."

"The second batter, the second baseman, is Tokai-san."

Although he didn't know what Zhou Hui meant, Sawamura still wanted to end the battle quickly.

"What does he want to do? Is he so impatient too?"

Yukichi doesn't understand Zhou Hui's behavior.

After taking a breath of air through his nose, Miyuki felt something was wrong just as he was about to match the ball.

"Could it be?!"

"This guy is worthy of being the new captain."

Miyuki's pitching became bolder and his pitch placement became more and more direct, clearly aimed at the batsmen.

After all, Sawamura's ball is only valuable if it is hit out.

"Whoosh!"

When the batter sees a simple ball path, he will naturally not show mercy.

"Qiang!"

The small white ball was picked up into the air, and after center fielder Tojo found where the baseball landed, he easily caught it.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

Although this was Tojo's first game after switching from pitcher to center fielder, it can be seen that he adapted quickly.

He immediately became a trustworthy outfielder for Seidou High School.

"Very good, it was solved with just one ball."

The second at-bat consumed a ball, and next it would depend on whether Sawamura could deal with the next batter faster or the rain would come faster.

It's a total race against time!
Dark clouds were gathering over their heads; it was only a matter of time before it rained.

"nice shot!"

"Foul ball!"

"Bad ball."

"Bad ball."

Facing the third batter, Sawamura threw two strikes and two balls in a short period of time.

It’s still not that easy to solve.

Zhou Hui didn’t know whether it would be light rain or heavy rain next, and he didn’t dare to make any judgment.

If it's a light rain, it's okay, but if it's a heavy rain, it will be a big threat to Sawamura's ball control.

Sawamura's ball control was just like that to begin with, and if it got slippery due to the rain, it would be even worse.

We must get rid of him before it rains!

"Whoosh!"

There was light in Sawamura's eyes and the white ball flew out of his hand.

Just at this moment, small raindrops fell from the sky and landed right on Zhou Hui's palm.

"It's raining?"

"Snapped!"

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

After dealing with the last batter, the students of Qingdao High School quickly walked towards the locker room.

They also realized that it was now drizzling.

Playing baseball on a rainy day is definitely a very uncomfortable thing.

Fortunately, Qingdao High School's defensive round ended.

It was just a few drops just now, but now the rain has started to fall heavily.

The word "drizzle" is naturally inadequate to describe it.

Although it doesn't feel heavy when it hits a person, it is definitely not suitable for playing baseball.

If this continues, the game will also be affected.
